Not only have we gotten the edits (or at least the first set) back from Dreamspinner for our historical Western, “Heart of Stone”, but yesterday we received the prospective covers from the artist. Wow! She did an AMAZING job, and one of the covers was PERFECT for what we wanted. 😀 I’m almost vibrating (shaddup!) with anticipation to hold the book in my hands and see it for real! We haven’t received the actual publication date yet, but the edits were pretty clean (just long, since the story is much longer than anything else we’ve had published to date!), so hopefully that means it won’t take too much longer through the production process. Fingers crossed! It’s going to be a reality at last! 😀

We didn’t have a publication this month (woe! But that’s how the schedule worked out, alas), but we do have one coming next month, in Dreamspinner Press’ “Closet Capers” anthology. We’re rather excited about this one, since it’s a light-hearted “mystery”, and it pulls in one of our favorite themes to write. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say that appearances can often be deceiving! Hopefully everyone will enjoy the story, which is entitled “The Whole Kit and Kaboodle”.

Then in May, we have the novella from Torquere — “Fennel and Forgiveness”, a sequel to “Bay Leaves and Bachelors”. June will give us “Love’s Cabers Tossed”, in the Dreamspinner Press’ Day Dose. And we cap off the summer with not one, but TWO novels, our first in print! A historical western, “Heart of Stone”, is coming from Dreamspinner, while “Blood Bathory: Like the Night”, a paranormal action adventure, will be published by Torquere.

We’re excited to have so many works on the way, and more to come. In the works at the moment is the third story in the “Recipe for Romance” saga (which started with “Bay Leaves…”), and a sequel to Blood Bathory.  So stay tuned, and thanks to everyone for reading our stories!

Our latest novelette, Caribbean Blues, is now on sale! It is the story of Jon Lawson, a man who is safe, secure, and — according to his ex — stuck in a rut. When his ex breaks up with him just before a planned vacation to the Bahamas, Jon decides to go anyway, just to prove to himself that he can be spontaneous. But he gets more than he bargained for when his private Dolphin Encounter session with sexy marine biologist Derrick Mason leads to a passionate holiday affair. Derrick is everything Jon could possibly want, but when Derrick asks him to risk everything for love, can Jon find it in himself to take a leap of faith?

We had a lot of fun writing this one! The dolphin encounter Jon experiences is actually based on a real place in Port Lucaya, where you can interact with dolphins in a sheltered cove. The dolphins aren’t captive; they are there of their own free will, and it’s incredibly special knowing that they’re almost as fascinated by humans as we are by them.

Anyway, if holiday romances and happily-ever-afters are your thing, check it out!
