The days are getting warmer here in central Illinois. Max, the biggest Untrained Dog, is shedding enough fur to knit a king-sized sweater..except it would be a shaggy gray black sweater that would smell like a dog which I don’t think anyone would want.
I’ve received some letters recently from readers wondering what project I’m working on now and what’s up next after To Desire a Devil in November. A couple of weeks ago I signed a new contract with my publisher (Grand Central Publishing) for three books to be published in 2010 and 2011. I’m writing the first book now of what will be the Maiden Lane series. It’s titled Wicked Intentions. The hero of Wicked Intentions is Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, an emotionless aristocrat searching for the murderer of his mistress. To find the murderer Caire needs the help of Temperance Dews, a proper widow who runs a foundling home in St. Giles. But neither Temperance or Caire are quite what they seem on the surface…
Finally, here’s a few quick links:
- You have until May 28th to vote in this year’s romance novel cover contest (both To Taste Temptation and To Seduce a Sinner are in the double cover catagory.)
- There’s still a chance to bid on an arc of To Desire a Devil, the Princes trilogy, both my Julia Harper books, and the first three books in the Legend of the Four Soldiers series in Brenda Novak’s online auction for diabetes (ends May 31st.)
- And Nicole, the Romantic Times blogger has written a lovely post about both my writing personas.

My poor kitty is suffering from shedding so much so am having to bursh him out about three times a day, he loves it though being his great kitty king all must love and praise him *laughs*
Oh! Wow, Wicked Intentions sounds really good and dark~ what year is the book taking place?
Dark, but not depressingly dark, if you know what I mean, Ranearia.
And WICKED INTENTIONS is set in 1742 during the height of the gin craze.
And poor Max! He hates being brushed. He’ll try to lay down on the side I’m brushing, but he’s too good a boy to actually run away.
Sounds very interesting…although you know must of us would still be excited even if you said it was to be about a two leprechauns.
Funny you should mention leprechauns, Nicole. I’ve been thinking that a series about short, red-haired men with an obsession with pots of gold would be really hot…or not.
Depends on what you mean by short……….OK I’ll stop!!!!
Hi Elizabeth, just love that you are also setting your upcoming series in the mid-18th century, which I am finding very interesting. It’s prompting me to do some more reading about the period.
