TOMORROW, TOMORROW

Remember that song from "Annie?" I'm humming it right now! Tomorrow, I'll be in New York City autographing my July book, BILLIONAIRE PRINCE, PREGNANT MISTRESS at the Harlequin Booth at BOOK EXPO AMERICA. BEA is the biggest publishing venue in the USA and I'm delighted that Harlequin invited me to participate. The cover for BILLIONAIRE PRINCE, PREGNANT MISTRESS is in the panel to the right...

And speaking of covers, here's a SNEAK PEAK at my November release, RAFFAELE: TAMING HIS TEMPESTUOUS VIRGIN. Trust me: the story of Rafe and Chiara is every bit as beautiful, as passionate, as sexy, as tender as this gorgeous cover.

A LONG TIME...

OK. I know. I am probably the world's laziest blogger. I mean well but blogging just gets away from me.

Anyway, here I am, happy to say that copies of my new book, BILLIONAIRE PRINCE, PREGNANT MISTRESS, just arrived!

I'll have them in time to show them to workshop attendees next week at CAPA-U in Hartford, CT... along with the big, beautiful cover-blow up Harlequin sent me!

Are you planning to attend the CAPA Writers' Conference? If you do, come by and say 'hello.'

Winter In Paradise

Actually, it's winter on the Gulf Coast of southwestern Florida but it's close enough to Paradise for my husband and me! We have a beautiful house on a peaceful canal; poolside, from our lanai, we get close-up views of wood storks, ibis, great white egrets, little and great blue herons, anhingas, a big alligator we've none-too-creatively nicknamed 'Albert...' and, this year, an otter!

Our daughter-in-law is the lucky one who's seen the otter... twice! But all of us--son, daughter-in-law, 5 and 7 yr old grandkids, husband and me--were incredibly fortunate to not just see Albert the Alligator but to hear him roar. What a sound! And good ol' Albert obliged us with two HUGE roars. What a treat... as long as Al's in the canal or on the opposite bank, that is.

One error: I"m published in TWENTY plus languages, far more than in TWENTY countries... but heck, one mistake isn't so bad... is it???

A Visitor

We had lots of snow last week, somewhere between 10 and 16 inches. A warm, driving rain melted most of it but there's still snow in our woods.

Perhaps that's the reason what we think of as "our" fox trotted out from the woods yesterday, found a relatively dry bit of grass, and settled in. First, he groomed himself. Or perhaps it's herself; I can't be sure. I only know that lots and lots of licking and cleaning went on. Then, our fox moved into a patch of sunlight and napped.

He (or she) is very beautiful and, I'm happy to say, very much at home in our yard. We first saw this one, with a mate, in early summer. Both have reappeared, separately, from time to time.

We're hoping the foxes will stay in our woods. It would be especially wonderful if they had babies come next Spring!

Blogging at MyLifetime.com

Whoops! I forgot to mention that I'm blogging today at MyLifetime . It's one of the most fun romance books site on the internet and and I'd love to have you stop by, read my comments and, if you like, join in the conversation.

I wrote about what I did yesterday when I played hooky from work and, instead, spent the late afternoon and evening going out with my husband. I love this guy a lot and his suggestion--a drive through the back roads in our piece of gorgeous New England, then dinner at a wonderful old inn--was just too good to pass up.

I think we all need time off once in a while, don't you?
