No, no, I haven't forgotten my blog. I was in Florida for a week, doing lawyer-family business, which is never fun, and then came home to some excited e-mails from the good folks at Cedar Fort Publications. It seems that Walmart placed a really big order for Borrowed Light, and wants me to have another novel done immediately. Right now.
No can do, I reminded my editor, because I am halfway through a three-story Christmas anthology for Harlequin, and still owe them a book which is due July 15. We did have a meeting and agreed that as soon as I finish that third book for Harlequin, they want me. U'mm. Sounds nice. They wanted a five-book deal, but I said I'd rather do a two-book contract at a time.
So that's the plan in the tan van (an old Sesame Street routine that my kids remember). I'll have the first book due to Cedar Fort Nov. 11, and the second one in June of 2012. They'll be moving those right along for publication, so that'll work. I already know the topics, and somewhere in there, if the numbers justify it, there will be a sequel to Borrowed Light.
So now I have to write, which is always fun.

Someone has to live here, in the middle of desert beauty. Might as well be the Kellys.
This is good news for all of us who love your stories. I especially like your heroes, men who actually think a lot and are not afraid to cry. My favorite is the Scottish doctor in The Wedding Journey. Thanks for so very many hours or reading a d re-reading pleasure. Diane
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is "With this Ring"
ReplyDeleteGosh it would be hard to pick a favorite. Wedding Journey for sure and Summer Campaign. And I really like your novellas. Okay all of them. They are all keepers! I agree with Diane - Jesse is up there for all time favorite hero.
