Hot Off The Presses...  My free workshop "How To Write A Novella" on the Romance Divas website was a big hit! Go to www.romancedivas.com and click on the Author of the Month forum to check out my tips and tricks on how to write a killer novella. It's official!  My sexy Victorian romance, THE BET, will be featured in the "Secrets, Volume 27" anthology from Red Sage Publishing in July 2009!  I'll be joined by fellow Red Sage authors Nicole North with DEVIL IN A KILT, and Liane Gentry Skye with HEART'S STORM. The author panel/booksigning I recently did with NYTimes best-selling author Vicki Lewis Thompson, Berkley & Bantam author Eden Bradley, and Kensington author HelenKay Dimon at the Barnes and Noble in Burbank, CA, was a great success!  I had the chance to hang with three wonderfully talented authors, and to rub them for a little good luck THE DISCIPLINARIAN now has its very own book trailer, as part of the Secrets, Volume 15 anthology!  YouTube:  The Orange County chapter of Romance Writers of America auctioned off an OCC T-shirt with autographs of 56 authors, (including me!) and NYTimes best-selling authors Nora Roberts, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Jennifer Crusie, Vicky Lewis Thompson, Christina Dodd and Eileen Dreyer!
