A New Adventure Awaits . . .

New Cover!

I was so excited to see the new cover of Glory and the Rake, which will be released in North America in January. I like it much better than the cover of the hardback/UK edition. I hope you do, too!

I've turned in the manuscript for The Last de Burgh! I admit to feeling a bit choked up since I've been writing about these characters for 17 years. But I'm glad I've been able to complete the series and hope all the readers who've been waiting patiently will be pleased.

In Praise of Indy, National Treasure, and Nancy Drew

March 19, 2010

For those who missed my guest blog for Harlequin at GoodReads and MySpace, I hope you'll take a look here:

Nancy Drew and I go way back – to second grade, in fact. Although I later discovered Mary Stewart, Gothics, and historical romance, the famous girl detective is still probably the biggest influence on my writing.

Because I love a good secret. (more…)
