Hi Readers!
Looking for a light, contemporary romance to read while you're escaping the heat wave? Well, my new release LAST RESORT may not appear to fit the bill at first glance. Kevin O'Brien shows up at Bethany Miller's Bed and Breakfast prepared to die. Sounds pretty dark, right?

Trust me, this is a romance. Of course, it ends happily. I've added a cast of characters, some of whom will be familiar to you if you've already read my mystery FULL MOON HONEYMOON. If you haven't, read LAST RESORT first. It's not exactly a pre-quel, but is a connecting story that, chronologically, takes place before Debbie and Noel's madcap and murderous adventure with Full Moon Cruise Lines.

To order LAST RESORT, go to www.wings-press.com or go to my website (www.cherylnorman.com). While you're at it, pick up STORMS OF THE HEART, a finalist in the 1999 Kiss Of Death contest.

I hope you're enjoying a safe and pleasant summer. We just returned home from a delightful trip in our RV, which included a booksigning with two authors in Wyoming, (Bev Haynes and Manda May) and a restful retreat to Montana. We've met so many nice people. I'm touched by readers' enthusiasm for my books. But that's why I write. I have stories to tell and, I hope, lives to touch.

Thanks for your continued support. For those of you who've emailed and asked, FULL MOON LULLABY is still in the works; but first I need to finalize CHEF CHERI'S HASTY, TASTY MEALS. Writing a cookbook has been a lot more involved than I expected. Thankfully, my husband is a willing taste-tester!

I'm always glad to hear from readers, so drop me a line at cheryl@cherylnorman.com and let me know what you think of LAST RESORT, good or bad.

Hugs and blessings,
Cheryl Norman
