SPANISH MAGNATE, RED-HOT REVENGE will be an August 09 release in the UK. The North American release is still to be determined. But I will let you know as soon as I do!
This is truly, truly a dream come true. I know I have a lot of lurkers, a lot of unpublished writers who, like me, are working hard and want the dream. Well, it can happen. You just have to keep writing and keep believing. It won't always be easy. Some days you'll need to back away from the computer and eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's (ice cream for my international readers who may not have this luscious brand of sin in their grocery freezers). You simply must believe in yourself. And that is not always an easy task.
Trust me, I know. You will second guess yourself. You will decide to quit. It's okay, so long as you come back to it. I've quit. And I've come back, determined not to quit again.
Yes, I got the Call, but there is always another hill to climb. My published friends tell me so and I believe them. But I will not quit! And neither should you, wherever you are in the journey. You're gonna write some awful stuff, probably. But don't quit. And learn to grow your craft. If you do that, you'll get there. π Good luck, and I'll let you know when the Call story appears at the IHP blog!
Yay on the title! It’s so close to your original title and very Present-ish. But what a long wait for us to read it. π

It’d be nice if books came out faster, huh? π I like the title too, now that I’ve had time to think about it and look at it!! π
Congratulations on the sale1
Can I just say I LOVE this title! I want this title!
Thank you, Anne!
Hi, Rachael! Congrats on your runner-up status in the MH contest! I love the title too. The more I look at it, the happier I get about it. It says everything that needs to be said about the book!!! π
Congratulation on your sale Lynn. I look forward to reading your release when it’s published here in the US.
Will there be an Oz release? I will be Depressed if that’s not the case π Looking forward to seeing the cover, do you get a say in it?
Nikki
Thank you, Marilyn!
Nikki, I’m not sure about Oz. I guess I should ask my editor! π As for the cover, no, I get no say in it. But my editor told me what she’s asked for. She won’t know for a while yet, but she’s hoping for a certain scene…. π
