Hey, Max Packers—

As we enter this season of gratitude, I want you to know how much I value you. That you connect with the characters I create, that you enjoy the books I write is an incredible gift to me. I hope never to disappoint you.

And may we all have a wonderful new year. I just like the sound of 2014. I sense it will be a year full of surprises and opportunities, especially for me. I start off a new series with two books being released back-to-back. THE BRIDE SAYS NO will hit the shelves in February followed by THE BRIDE SAYS MAYBE in March. We will be following the adventures of the Davidson clan of Aberfeldy and the covers are gorgeous. You can read more including excerpts for both under Coming Soon.

The Avon Books Art Department outdid themselves . . . and I have bookmarks to prove it. If you would like an autographed set, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope to PO Box 1135, Powhatan, VA 23139.

By the way, in 2014, there will be more opportunities for writers and readers to meet and most of the events are free. Check out my events page for details but in February, I’ll be in Connecticut for The Big Book Club held at the Mohegan Sun Resort. Then in March, I visit Arizona for The Tucson Festival of Books followed by the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville. I won’t be alone. There will be hundreds of fabulous authors at these events. You will a grand time.

As always, you can catch up with me here or on Facebook, my social media of choice, but I hope our paths cross. I would love to see you.
