NEWS

Due to positive feedback it looks like the Hero series will continue when Piper Hero and her twin sisters Kayla and Kinley come looking for their missing brothers and crash land on Paradise. In the works is “A Hero’s Kiss”, “A Hero Remembers” and “Captive Hero”.

Also in the works is “Outlaw Lover” – the start of another futuristic romantica series – no publisher as yet.

There is talk at ELLORA’S CAVE of combining “A Hero’s Welcome” and “A Hero Escapes” into one paperback book. In the meantime “A Hero’s Welcome” will still be available in both ebook and paperback formats. Be on the lookout for the new volume in 2004.
