My Big News….
I sold two more books to Harlequin! 
My agent wrapped everything up today, so I can finally let my secret out. 
My second book, currently titled Her Irish Lover will be a September 2007 release, and my third book, Her Wild Irish Rogue will be a January 2008 release.
I think I’m beyond screaming. Deer in the headlights, that’s me. Because now this has gone from a dream-come-true to a career.
Wow. Just…wow. 
The third book was sold blind…in other words, although they had a proposal, they bought it before reading it. I have 100 pages written and it’s due in May. It’s very doable, but a little scary to have my first true deadline.
So join me in celebrating!! 
Bonnie was the first to guess a two book contract (others had guessed a sale, but since she thought 2 books, I’ll give it to her). So Bonnie–when I get my author copies, I’ll send you one!
Now this is a GREAT way to start 2007, don’t you think?
