What's new! 
I’ve got a few new things for you this month.  I am working on a short story which will feature one of the new characters in my third Rona Shively book.  I’m sure you’ll love this guy.  He’s smooth, he’s sexy and he’s got Rona over a barrel.  For all her struggling to stay independent, she may finally figure out that being single isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  Keep watching for teasers from the short story entitled, I Thought I Heard You Laughing. 

---------------------------------------------

I’m still reaching out to book clubs and libraries to try and introduce more readers to the Rona Shively series.  Hopefully, my goal of reaching 50 States in 2008 will be accomplished by this time next year.  I’ve got five already!

If you belong to a book club or know someone who does, ask them to check out the Rona Shively series!  In addition to meeting with book groups who read the series, I’m offering a special 25% discount on In the Wash and Under Lock and Key for clubs who order through my website.  Just drop me an e-mail at lonestoryteller.yahoo.com if your club is interested.  For more information visit my website at http://www.theronashivelystories.com.

---------------------------------------------

I’m saving the big announcement for December 31, 2007.  The title of the next Rona Shively story will be…stay tuned and I’ll tell you on New Year’s Eve!  My next contest will also be announced on December 31^st.  I’m planning something special for the New Year!

Fun Facts
 
In every issue of this newsletter, I'm going to include some bit of trivia about Rona Shively and/or some of the characters in her book.  Pay attention to these tidbits because they will be on the test later!  Actually, a few months down the line, I'll be giving away a big prize to the person who can plug the correct answers into a Pop Quiz!
 
This month's tidbit-Garrett Shaw and Rona Shively have met before.  The name of the bar where they first met is significant.  It might even show up in the upcoming short, I Thought I Heard You Laughing. 
 
=============================================================
 
As always, I appreciate your support and hope you will continue to enjoy the Rona Shively Stories! 
 
Until next time...
