April already! It
seems like every month I say that. Well, this is the month of my
Great American Adventure!
I love my trips to
the USA, and this year is no different. But between last year and
now, the country has gone through some seismic changes. Will it feel
or look any different? I’m guessing no, but we’ll see.
I’m starting in
Los Angeles, and then flying all the way up to Boston, then New York,
then Atlanta for the RT Booklovers’ Convention. Then back to LA,
and home. Wow.
But first, I’m
taking a few days in Dublin with my husband. It’s a lovely city,
and a beautiful country. Obviously from my name (I write under my
real name) I have connections, but this is the first time I’ve
visited Dublin.
I’m going to try
to put photos and things on Facebook, but I’m not handy with
transferring photos to social media. I use an old-fashioned camera
which doesn’t have an internet connection, so I have to download
the pics and upload them. But I do want to share this trip with you!
I’ve spent the
month planning, packing, and coping with a mysterious infection that
laid me low for a while, but I’m still here and raring to go. I’ve
managed to get some writing done, including a contemporary, but I
don’t know if they’ll see the light of day soon.
And the sad business
continues, of clearing up after the demise of Samhain. I still have a
series from Ellora’s Cave to re-edit and get back up. I’m so
sorry, folks, but I promise Nightstar will be back soon!
I managed to get the
Secrets series and The Triple Countess series back up. They’re
selling like woah and damn, so perhaps it wasn’t just me who loved
the books! They’re historicals which I always loved to revisit.
The Secrets trilogyeach features a heroine with a secret. Isabel’s is probably the
most shocking, but Penelope and Arabella have their own problems,
which lead them to their heart’s desires and the loves of their
lives—if they have the courage to step forward and take it.
The Triple Countess series was loosely based on the real life Double Duchess. A woman who
married three times, in three very different circumstances, and
produced offspring who have to work with the problems of their pasts
as well as the challenges of the future.
Because I’ve
self-published them, I’ve been able to lower the price of each
book. Maybe in the future, I’ll be able to offer omnibuses
(omnibi?) But it’s my pleasure to offer them to you again.
If you go to my
website, I’ve put up excerpts for you. And I'm showing off the new covers here. What do you think?
