Is it just me or did this holiday season last for two years? Or maybe it's just because I ate two years' worth of cookies? Yech. I think I'll add on a few miles to my run tomorrow; like run to China or something. That might burn them off (or not?). Hope your holidays were lovely and that the new year brings you everything your heart desires.

Ooooh, New Year's Eve might have come and gone, but for me, the countdown continues . . . Less than two months from now, Between a Rock and a Heart Place lands on bookstore shelves everywhere! A little refresher:

As I mentioned in previous posts,  Between a Rock and a Heart Place is the third book in my series of funny paranormal romance and is due out February 24, 2009. It's already available for preorder online (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-A-Million). If you've read The Druid Made Me Do It, I'm sure you can guess the premise for my third book. This is Daphne and Tremayne's story and, wow, but they have an adventure ahead of them. Here's the back cover blurb:

Rocked

Daphne Forbes always knew the world was an odd place. Unlike most CPAs, she grew up the daughter of a druid. Unlike her father, she eschewed the supernatural. But magic was coming to trip her up. In the form of an enchanted cornerstone, it was set to knock Daphne's socks off—or at least one of her shoes—and the rest of her clothes were soon to follow.

 Magic filled Daphne, empowered her, shifted her shape and raged wild as a summer storm. Enter Tremayne. Whether the tormented newcomer was truly her guardian or something more sinister, one thing he wanted was clear. Daphne wanted him, too. She had spent her whole life with control but little power; this was just the opposite. She was suddenly between a magic stone and…someplace harder. And we're not (just) talking about Tremayne's abs.

As promised, I'm posting an Click here from the story. While I anticipate release day, I'll be lining up book signing and guest blogging dates, ordering up new bookmarks, and writing on something brand new! Love the start of a new story -- exciting new characters, wide open possibilities, a brand new world to discover. Yep, that's absolutely the best way to start a new year. Hope yours is the beginning of something wonderful, too!
