Dear Readers,

Spring has finally sprung! Our forsythia is blooming and it won't be long until we have apple blossoms and azaleas. It felt like a very long winter...so the longer, warmer days are very welcome. So's the break in our schedule, as extra curricular activities start winding down and my poor odometer gets a break from all the mileage I've been putting on my car. J

I've just returned from Boston and the New England RWA Chapter's annual conference. I definitely noticed a heightened state of alert with lots of law enforcement presence after the terrible bombings that happened only days before. And yet it was still business as usual...Bostonians are made of stern stuff. I had a wonderful time at the conference and my friend and fabulous author Barbara Wallace gave me a tour before I had to fly home again.

So what's the deal with new books? Well, right now I'm working on TREASURE ON LILAC LANE, the follow up to THE HOUSE ON HIDEAWAY HILL, and getting ready for the launch of my fourth First Responders book, BENEATH THE BADGE, which releases later this month. Romantic Times gave it a stunning 4.5 star review and called it "...a beautiful romance that will remind readers a little of early JoAnn Ross or very early Nora Roberts." I don't think I have to tell you that I nearly fell off my chair when I read that!

I'll be sending out a newsletter towards the end of the month when the book releases, so stay tuned. In the meantime, why not pop on over to The Chocolate Box, where I blog a few times a month with some special friends!

Happy reading,

 

Donna
