Hi all,

It's the new year and stuff has been happening. I've sold a second novel to Ellora's Cave called ECHO IN THE HALL. This is the sequel to VIOLET AMONG THE ROSES, and will be the second book in my Modern Myths series. The story revolves around the statue of Echo that is mentioned in the first book. She gets turned human but needs to earn the love of a man to stay that way. Nemesis (who really would rather people call her Nina) is back to help her sister out. Publication is scheduled for this summer.

Another bit of news is that I've joined with three other authors from Ellora's Cave in starting a quarterly newsletter called Femme Fatales. We're going to have a contest with four prizes just for signing up!

The following is our official announcement:
