SFD is my new baby, and after all the initial promo, I'll dive into some fun little holiday shorts and start outlining SFD's sequel, SAFE FROM THE FIRE, which won't be out until late next winter.

And to be perfectly honest, I'm far more nervous about my first full-length novel than I am about the 's going to be an interesting month, and I hope you'll all stick around for the ride!

I can sacrifice some Halloween sexiness for stronger romantic suspense. I'm hoping to have the other two stories in the BEWTICH ME collection completed by the 15th, but the priority is finishing the edits on SAFE FROM THE DARK, which will be available Nov. PASSION & PUMPKINS and MY FAIR HEX are up and available on Amazon for your witchy Halloween enjoyment. It's also the season for school supplies, and if you're anything like me, you're hardwired to get down to work when the weather starts getting a little nippy. We have Halloween, of course, but there's also great potential in the weather turning colder, leaves changing color, and large populations changing out their shorts and sandals for sweaters and warm jackets. I think writers like October because it's a naturally inspiration-filled month. Here's to cold nights, hot reads, and plenty of holiday treats! Keep an eye out for THE KRINGLE GIRLS series, right after Thanksgiving - at least a couple of them will be available as single titles, and there will be an overall collection as well. Instead, I'm writing some holiday romance for you! Four short magical tales that follow Santa's daughters and their quest for romance, love, and a one-way ticket to the Naughty List with some seriously hot men. I decided not to dive into the Bright's Ferry sequel for a few weeks - SAFE FROM THE FIRE will be out in February.

This month! This month is almost half over (wow), but it's mainly a bridge between Halloween and Christmas, with a turkey in the middle. That's when you just sit back and wait for reviews. It's been about a week now, but I still haven't managed to go back and re-read it in one sitting - after all the edits, you get to a point where you just can't bear to look at it. I feel like I've run a marathon with my fingers.
