News!

Dear ones!

Do I have news for you? By golly, I think I do. News has just sparked its way down the wire that The Bewitching Mysteries will be moving to ... hardcover! This is big news for any author, so I'm celebrating. Snoopy dancing, in fact. Now, nothing in publishing happens quickly, so the 5th book in the series -- WHERE THERE'S A WITCH -- will be released as the usual mass market paperback on July 7, 2009. Book 6, however {my as yet unnamed monster-in-progress} will be coming out first as a hardcover release in April 2010, with the mass market paperback issue to follow later that summer. I'm so excited about this -- it's a big step for any author.

Did I tell you WHERE THERE'S A WITCH is already up for pre-order on Amazon? I'll also be posting an excerpt here and cover art just as soon as I can.
