WHAT’S HAPPENING IN MY WORLD...
It’s been a long
wait, but Book Two of The Whitcombe Legacy is finally out. This book is the
story of Jerome, the second of the Whitcombe triplets. And if you’ve read
Julian and fallen in love with him, you’ll have another brother to add to your
list of favorite vampires.
Unlike Julian,
though, Jerome likes the dark side of his life and resists a return to
humanity. The journey he makes from page one until The End will keep you
guessing as to which choice he will make. I’d take the mystery out of the
journey if I wanted to be a spoil-sport, but I’m not, so I won’t. You’ll have
to find out for yourself. Go to www.imajinnbooks.com
and purchase a print or e-book copy of Book Two and live the few weeks after
Thanksgiving, 2005, with Jerome and Dottie Crawford, his unwelcome house guest.
Book Three will
be the final book in The Whitcome Legacy trilogy and will feature the third
brother, Jonah, and Angela Martin, the friend and business partner of Simone
and Dottie. What will Jonah be like? Totally different from his two older
brothers, I can assure you. To find out anything more you’ll have to wait until
you meet him in Book Three.
On to other things...
I’ve spent most
of the past year working on a romantic suspense series set in the Bayous of
Louisiana. As I write this, the first book is finished and in the hands of an
editor being considered for publication (all fingers and toes crossed). I’m
half way through the second book and have begun outlining the third. The heroes
of all three books are sheriffs in bayou towns and cousins by birth. Their
heroines are independent women who arrive in the respective towns, face danger
with their ‘heroes’, and ultimately share their ‘happily ever after’ with them.
For the past
couple of years I’ve been mulling over in my mind two other story ideas. One is
a suspense story about an adopted child, kidnapped and held for ransom. The
other is an historical set in New Orleans after the end of the Civil War. Just
writing about them here makes my fingers itch to begin them, but I know it will
still be some time before I can. My present commitments have to take
precedence.
For those of you
who have been with me a while I must confess that Unearthed and A Scent of
Cedar still remain unpublished. I queried several agents on both stories some
years back but never could get any real interest for either of them. One of
these days when I have a lull, I’ll probably go back over them and see if there
is anything I can do to make them more saleable. Nevertheless, they will always
remain two of my favorite stories.
It’s time to
close for now, but I promise to keep this section more current than I have in
the past. Come back soon to see if I’ve kept my promise.
