It’s just too bad that it’s so brief. The maple trees are ablaze with yellow, orange and red, the air is cooler and the bugs of summer are gone. (OK, that was not a completely accurate statement. The bugs are gone with the exception of hundreds of thousands of ladybugs! I already dispatched eight from my office this morning and I can see six more just sitting here at my desk. There are so many outside that when I go out for my coffee break, they swarm me and get down my top, in my hair, in my coffee. It’s really disturbing. Sigh . . . I think I’m done with my rant now.) The only downfall to the season right now is how wet it’s been but I guess that’s to be expected since our summer was so cool and wet
The Renegade Hunter was just released and I think the general buzz is that you guys like it. . . Yay! And I know many of you are just itching to resolve the mystery that surrounds Nicholas but please be patient because it’s a good one! It is explained in Armand’s book. Unfortunately, it would have given too much away about Armand's story to explain it in The Renegade Hunter so it had to wait.
Now my next upcoming Argeneau/Rogue Hunter story is one that many of you have been pining for, for quite some time! Tiny finally gets his story and it will be hitting the stands on December 29th, 2009 in the anthology Bitten By Cupid. This anthology is a sideline to the Argeneau series so you Argeneau fans might want to pick this one up. Private detective, fantastic cook, gentle, funny and built like a linebacker . . . what immortal woman wouldn’t fall for Tiny?
And as mentioned above, Armand’s story will be coming out and it will hit the bookstore shelves August 31st of 2010. I realize this is quite a wait between books and I was really rather hoping it would have been released the month following The Renegade Hunter as happened with Vampires Are Forever and Vampire, Interrupted. Sadly, that’s not the case and I don’t have control over publishing dates so sorry about that guys. I really didn’t intend to make you wait so long for the answers.
Shortly after Armand's story, comes one for Alex Willan. Yes, it seems another Willan will get her man. While trying to get her new restaurant up and running, Alex finds herself plagued by accidents and mishaps. She can’t do it all by herself and is relieved when Sam sends over Cale Argeneau Pimms, a highly recommended chef, to help her out. Only Cale has some secrets and it isn't long before Alex starts wondering if she hasn't jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
Onto the Historicals . . . My next historical release is the second book in the Devil Of the Highland series called Taming The Highland Bride. It will be coming out January 26th, 2010 and involves Evelinde's brother Alex d'Aumesbery and his bride to be, Merewen, the Stewart Shrew. Merewen has had it with the lot of them! She dreams about getting away and marrying her betrothed, Alex D'Aumesbery. Merry hopes that Alex will be a proper Englishman that isn't weak willed and in his cups by noon like her father and brothers. So why was he drunk the first time they met?
Hard on its heels will be the third book in the Devil Of The Highland series called The Hellion And The Highlander, which is coming out February 23rd, 2010. This story involves Kade Stewart, Merry's brother who went missing during the crusades. After three years in Baibar's prison, Kade, his men and Will Montagne escape. En route to England, a severe storm cuts their party in half and blinds Kade. Not knowing if he will see again, Will's sister, Averill, cares for Kade comfortable in the knowledge that he can't see her plain features and unseemly red hair. Or can he?
And in January 2010, the anthology Bitten By Cupid will hit the stands. This one is guaranteed to blow your socks off! This anthology is a sideline to the Argeneau series so you Argeneau fans might want to pick this one up. Private detective, fantastic cook, gentle, funny and built like a linebacker. What immortal woman wouldn’t fall for Tiny?
Well I’m off to have another coffee break and stave off the forces of evil just outside my office door. If I go missing, blame the ladybugs. Have a wonderful fall season everyone and I hope you have a terrific Thanksgiving!
BTW – Thank you guys for all your encouragement and support. You really are the best!!
