My first newsletter goes out Nov 2 and the signup form is on my home page. All subscribers are automatically entered for my monthly contests. For November, I’m giving away CHARMING JO by Laura Drewry, and WHIRLWIND BRIDE by Debra Cowan.

My cover for CHRISTMAS SHOWDOWN is posted on my website under books. Take a look at my yummy cowboy. 🙂

Beginning next month, I’ll start hosting monthly contests on my website. The prizes will be new books. All you have to do to enter is sign up for my newsletter. The form is on my home page.

Okay, back to working on proposals and catching up on everything that went by the wayside while I was facing double deadlines. We’re way too close to the Holidays and I’m so not ready. Yikes!

Hard to believe, but I really did finish my short story for Samhain, at least the first draft of it. Yay!

It’s been a spell since I wrote a short story, so I did a lot of feeling my way through it in parts. Plus, this story’s word count falls between what I wrote before in a short, and shorter than novella length, so that posed special problems to get a plot that wasn’t bloated yet had a story and arc and all that good story stuff to carry it through and leave the reader with a smile.

I have a lot of tweaking to do before sending it off to my editor, but I can get that done quickly (she said with fingers crossed. ) 🙂

If all goes well and the editor actually likes it, it’ll be available Dec 19 at Samhain as a download. I’ll know more later and should have a cover to put up by next month. I think.

I’ve gotta tell you I’m looking forward to not having any deadline for a while. There are things around the house that are desperately crying out for attention, and I could also use a rest from the hectic pace.

So that’s the update for now.
