More Gorgeous Covers

Isn't this one of the most beautiful covers you've ever seen? It's for my friend and critique partner Denise Rossetti's The Flame and the Shadow and it's by the same artist who created the covers for my novels--James Griffin. Isn't that a coincidence?

This is the first in a series you won't want to miss. A fantasy romance from a master storyteller, the first in her four-sided pentacle series.

You can read more about Denise and her novels here.

On Target

Well, it looks like I might get my first draft of Indecent Proposal finished by the end of June. I won't promise anything because you never know what might come up, but I have 67 pages to go and I know what happens next, so there's no reason I can't beat my 30 June deadline if I continue at my current pace.

These characters are so real to me, I'm dreaming about them. They're the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. I've turned into the cliched absent-minded writer. However, while I worry that my kids think I'm literally glued to the computer, my elder son tells his teacher that my job is to go down to the shop to buy bread. Keeps things in perspective.

Above is the inimitable Diana Rigg playing Emma Peel in The Avengers, the inspiration for my heroine in The Dangerous Duke. She's intelligent, courageous, beautiful and has a mean karate chop. And she can't resist making a witty riposte in the most dire of situations. My heroine is all that without the martial arts expertise, though a couple of female boxers do figure in the story. More on that later.

And here's the inspiration for my hero;)

More on him later, too.
