I wonder if, just for once, my blog will let me type in a message to you without me having to go through Admin.  Fingers crossed.  So far it's working.  I want everyone to know that I am on a writing SPREE and that this is the reason I have been late recently in answering emails or getting on the Forum.  I hope to be able to multitask soon, but right now I am riding the wave, because times like this are special and what I really figure you people want is for me to give you some brand new books!  Ash and I are sailing through STRANGE FATE, while Brionwy, the seventeen-year-old courtesan, and Crispy, the little girl who is burned over half her body and lives as a rogue slave, hiding in the shadows, have totally taken over THE LAST LULLABY and are racing toward the end of the book. I'm deleriously happy about this!

But the real point of this little post is to say to my readers, thank you for all the wonderful support you have given me, and for the marvelous stories you've emailed about how my books have impacted your life.  I feel so humble and so proud at once to have entertained you--and sometimes done a little more.

Oh, yes, and I was forgetting.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S

 DAY!!!
