This is the time of year when the publishing industry seems to slow down so there's not a lot to report this week. My agent finalized the deal for the online serial and I'm happy to report that it will be a true prequel to The Devil's Footprints. It's scheduled to run on e.Harlequin.com starting the first week in March. More details as I get them.

The Intrigue authors are blogging fast and furious at the Intrigue Blog. Lots of book giveaways so head on over and check it out. I'll be joining the fun in January to promote Texas Ransom, which is part of the Ultimate Heroes series.

My critique group had our annual breakfast/gift exchange this past Monday and it was a lot of fun. And I hauled in lots of great loot, including books, Christmas ornaments, and fresh, homemade scones. What more could a writer ask for? In case I haven't mentioned it before, I'm incredibly fortunate to be in a group of extremely talented writers--Kay David, Heather MacAllister and Barbara Dawson Smith. Right now, we're all embarking on new projects, so I think the new year is going to be very exciting indeed.

Sid News: For anyone who has been keeping up with the trials and tribulations of the little stray kitten we adopted, he's doing so much better. The ringworm is gone, and the other problems are starting to improve as well. We're actually able to let him out in the house now to mingle with our other cat, Lola, who is taking the new addition much better than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong, there's still some hissing and growling going on, but there's been some playtime as well, which is so great to see because I was always afraid my Lola was lonely. Now she has a new little companion that so far, hasn't made a pest of himself.
