I’ve been absent from the blog while I finished a novella. The book is a second-chance romance called Romeo & Juliet…and Jane, and I hope to have more details soon. Meanwhile, I’ve already dug into the next women’s fiction book on my plate, which will be out (fingers crossed) in 2013.

My reading so far this year has been sporadic. The carrot I used to finish the novella was Val McDermid’s new book, The Retribution, which I’m gobbling up this week.
