Dear Faithful Readers, Happy Fourth of July! I've finished Outcast--in stores in June 2009--and am working on the synopsis for the next book in the Benedicts of Richmond series, Outrage. I decided to split this enormous (14 siblings!) family in half and write about the Taggart Men (in Texas) and the Benedict Brothers (in Washington, D.C. and around the globe). Outrage will feature Chase Taggart, one of three brothers (Chase has a twin, Cain, and an elder brother Tag) who live as bachelors on a ranch in North Texas not far from the Whitelaws (Imagine that!). Tag is divorced from Patsy Taggart Benedict (married to the patriarch of the Benedict clan) and Patsy and Tag have twin twenty-year-old sons Reese and Josh. Should be loads of fun! I'm also working on the sequel to A Stranger's Game, which will be titled Shattered. Keep an eye out for Hawk's Way Grooms, in stores this month. It includes two of my favorites, The Virgin Groom and The Substitute Groom, both of which are prequels to another Hawk's Way book currently on the shelves, Sisters Found. Be sure to sign up on the mailing list at my web site if you'd like to receive an e-mail/postcard when the next book is in stores. Speaking of which, those of you waiting for the paperback of A Stranger's Game will be glad to know it will be available in February 2009. I want to thank you for all your wonderful e-mails and let you know I finally caught up with the last hundred or so this past weekend. So nice to hear from all of you! Take care and happy reading,
PS. Just returned from Thrillerfest in New York City! Check me out on The Writer's Perspective with Writer's Digest editor Maria Schneider.
