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.
mosquitoes haven’t yet hit and the evenings are just right–not too hot, not too cold. My shade garden (under a big old maple tree) has white short-spurred columbine and Spanish bluebells blooming amongst the unfurling hostas. I did see the wicked bunny by my tiny veggie garden, but hadn’t the heart to scare her away. Mr. Hoyt (who grew up on a farm) said it’ll be my own fault if we have no tomatoes this summer!
