Hello and welcome to my first 'Occasional' Newsletter - I'll try to keep it brief but I wanted to share my latest news with you.
It's been a somewhat hectic summer for me, despite the terrible weather (for the most part) but I did get to stay for nearly three weeks at my sister's beautiful home in Wales, looking after her horses and dogs while she was away in Canada.
The main news is I have two releases.
'DANCING WITH FATE'

my story in the Wild Rose Press's 'Faery Rose line' anthology
, 'Song Of The Muses', was released on the 1st August.
Back cover blurb and a Purchase link can be found
HERE. It's only available in E-format at the moment, but will be available as a three story paperback in October. It's currently No. 2 in the 'Faery Rose' line ratings and at only $3.00 (Around £1.55 if you're a Brit,) it's a bargain. The other six stories in the series will also be released as paperbacks, making a set of three books of three stories each. They're all different and cover every genre from historical to contemporary, with a good dose of fantasy thrown in.
I have a contest running until the end of August. There is just time to enter if you go to my heroine, Terpsichore's
My Space then to her Blog on My Space and leave a comment with your answer to the simple question she poses.
Even more exciting, for me anyway, is the fact my first full length novel 'STARQUEST' will be published on August the 29th.

This book is very dear to my heart. There has been a long delay in production due to various circumstances, but now it is finally going to hit the world! It will also be available in E format from my publisher,
The Wild Rose Press, and I have just heard the print date has been brought forward so it will now be in print on December 5th 2008. (Just in time for Christmas) I will be running a contest or two to celebrate, so check the contest page on my website from time to time, I am also about to start work on the edits for the sequel 'CHILDREN OF THE MIST'.
The Wild Rose Press is also running a series of free (yes I did say 'free' downloads and I am pleased to say one of them is mine. It's entitled 'A Bargain With Death' and is another fantasy. It will probably be available in October, (The Faery Rose month at The Wild Rose Press).
Details of these books can be found on my
WEBSITE also trailers and excerpts. (I've updated my website recently and hopefully it's a little easier to get around).
I also have a
BLOG. There's a link to it here and also in my website. In fact I'm plastered all over the web! I have a
My Space, and the characters in both my current releases have their own My Spaces
(Terpsichore and
Starquest)
Before I leave, I'd just like to mention that I will be one of several authors having an 'Authors Chat Day' in the Latte Lounge at Coffee Time Romance. Drop by if you get the chance, it should be fun, and there'll be more prizes to win, including downloads.
