May Happenings!

I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by our week-long blog at Romance Vagabonds with Harlequin Mills and Boon. We shared lots of information, had some fun contests and Q and A with Senior Editor, Linda Fildew and Joanne Carr. Our Western Day was headed up by Lisa Plumley, Kathryn Albright and Charlene Sands (me).

This month, amid the wedding plans for my daughter, choosing invitations and sizing dresses, appropriately our Western Wedding Anthology has been released! We're garnering some very nice reviews and it's a chance to read stories from multi-talented writers, Kate Bridges and Jillian Hart as well. I hope you enjoy this trio of stories!

Another fun happening is a month-long appearance on Coffee Time Romance for a May Reader's Retreat with six great authors from Petticoats and Pistols. There'll be prizes, blogs and I'll be talking about Westerns and my brand-new Suite Secrets Series from Silhouette Desire. Wait until you see the cover for Five Star Cowboy!! Oh, and we have titles for the next two books in the series, Do Not Disturb Until Christmas (Nov 08)and Reserved for the Tycoon (Feb 09)


Another May Happening is the Brenda Novak Diabetes Auction. There's so many great items up for bid on this auction, including vacations and electronics, critiques from authors and editors and tons of BOOKS! The authors at Pettiocats have donated a pretty cool gift tote filled with goodies. It's a great cause - all proceeds going to Diabetes Research.

I hope you have a wonderful May filled with love and flowers and romance!!

Happy Trails and Happy Reading!
