Is it mid November already? I’ve been a blog slug so far this fall.  Why?  I’ve been busy–editing, writing, and actually taking a vacation to visit my sister in Virginia.  Which was so much fun!  We went all over–to Washington DC, to Monticello, to Harper’s Ferry.  It’s a beautiful part of the country and I thought October was the perfect time to see it, just as the leaves were changing color. And I got to see the freakish pre-Halloween snowstorm!

I do have great news. First, I’m going to be writing two more women’s fiction novels for Kensington Books.  Can’t tell you how happy I am about this.  I love Kensington, and especially my wonderful editor there, John Scognamiglio.  The other good news? The Christmas anthology I’m a part of, Making Spirits Bright, is a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.  That’s been making my spirits very bright!
