Surrender the Night Month is next month!

Just in case you forgot, I thought I'd announce that every Friday next month, I'll be posting something about Surrender the Night and drawing names for a free copy!!
I'm hoping to give you an indepth look at the main characters, along with pictures, a trailer, excerpts and more.  Now, if you're a part of my Motley crew, please feel free to comment but since you're already getting a free book, I'll not enter you in the drawing. K? (You know who you are!! And I do too!!)

And in the book news arena, I thought you'd like to know that I Also just signed yet another contract, along with three other stupendous authors to write part of a Novella called Rendezvous at Central Park.  

Experience the beauty of Central Park where four heroes

dare to risk their hearts once more for a timeless love.

The “Rendezvous at Central Park” is a collection of stories which trace the journey of a Civil War era coin, inscribed with the words “Love Never Fails, Central Park” through four generations of the Wolfe family. 

Here are the four authors involved and the stories they are writing. Each of us writes our tale in about 20K words or so, making the entire book between 80-100K, which is the general size of a regular novel.  This is my first time doing something like this, and I'm SO EXCITED to be a part of such a great team!  This book will be Incredible!

Caring not that his once-handsome face is scarred, she is thrilled to see him and accept his help on the plantation, even though he still seems stricken with Annie.  But when he finds the $20 gold coin he had given Annie as a token of their love in Permelia’s possession, William begins to suspect the truth. Will William overcome the pain of Annie’s rejection and take a risk on true love again?
