I'm so exited and grateful!  My second novel, Recipe For Love, was #11 after the final results were posted!  I made the top 20!  Woot woot!  And the first book, Never Too Old For The Game Of Love, was # 23, while the third book, Love By Design was #26!  Not bad for my first year of being published!  I'm eagerly looking forward to Feb. 1, when the fourth book in the series, Analysis of Love, will be available.  And for those who are wondering, the fifth book has already been contracted, and I've finished writing the sixth one, and am now editing it for submission to my publisher.  I'm not sure if any more of the Reyes family members have stories to tell...there have been "whispers" coming from a couple of them, but no clear story line yet.  
Meanwhile, I'm doing some work on some of my other books, stand-alone ones with new sets of characters.  And some of you have asked me to expand my free short story, to make Unnatural Man into a novel.  I'll sleep on that...no really, I often wake up with plots that my mind developed while I was asleep, and it was active.  
Until next posting, happy reading.  Hey, it's almost the end of January, and the daylight hours are getting longer every day.  Nothing we can do will bring spring here any quicker...but if you lose yourself in a good book, you are living "another life", if just for a short time.  And you are "hearing" what goes on in the author's head, as if you lived in there too.  
Welcome to my thoughts...enjoy!

I'm so excited about the next book in my series being published!  I just finished going over the "galleys", and sending them back to the publisher.  Now it's only a matter of time before I can hold that book in my hand also! 
I hope you are enjoying the series enough to want to read the next book!
