Faery Merry Christmas–yes, a Christmas novella featuring the faery princess and matchmaker, Keely.
Down Home Ever Lovin’ Mule Blues–to be released this fall from Highland Press. Not only did my editor and I work on the manuscript, but I’ve been working on the book video. And good news–my niece’s bf, who wrote the theme song for my book video, just signed a recording contract! Check out Justin Saragueta on myspace. He’s awesome. (So’s my niece!)
Looking ahead:
