COUNTDOWN FOR MY NEW BOOK, THE REPLACEMENT!

Dear Readers,

BOOK NEWS!
I hope you're having a wonderful summer! Whether you're staying home, lying on the beach, doing the Broadway circuit in New York, standing in line at Disney World or Disneyland, traipsing all over Europe, or cruising the Caribbean, there's nothing like a good book in the summertime! Ta da! Do I have a book for you! On July 20, The Replacement will be in bookstores and available online! This is the final book in this series I wrote with Robin Shope for Baker Book's Fleming Revell. What makes this series unique is its not only a political thriller, but it has a love story woven into the story. Because of this, both men and women alike write to say they enjoy it! We develop our books with lots of twists and turns, and our faithful readers say they love this aspect of the series!

DISNEY AND JEOPARDY!
One of the most important ingredient of these books is jeopardy! My husband, Ken, a filmmaker, had the amazing opportunity to have Walt Disney as a mentor when he was a teenager. Walt explained that every film must have jeopardy . . . . that Bambi's mother had to die. I believe this is true of any story. Don't you love a story that keeps you on the edge of your chair! Especially a love story that keeps you on the edge!

If you haven't read THE CHASE and THE REPLACEMENT, the first and second book of the series, start with those books first.

WHAT'S NEXT?
So now that the series has ended . . . what's next for me? I've decided to go solo this time and write a Hollywood thriller! I live in the most publicized city in the world so I decided to concentrate on Tinsel Town since everyone seems to intrigued with LA. My agent absolutely LOVED the story I outlined and said its my best yet. I'm about half way through the story. I'll keep you posted.

Happy Summer!
