Summer is just around the corner, and you'll want to load up your tote bag (or ebook reading device) with great summer reads. I hope you'll include some Cheryl Norman titles in your To Be Read list.

My next FULL MOON mystery, FULL MOON LULLABY, will be released at summer's end, in September, 2003, two years after the release of the first, FULL MOON HONEYMOON. If you missed the HONEYMOON, don't despair. It's still available at www.wingsepress.com. Also, you don't need to read it before reading FULL MOON LULLABY. Although it's fun to read a mystery series in order, each book stands alone.

What's it about, you ask? Go to www.authorsden.com/cherylnorman and click on the cover art. You'll have the opportunity to read the promotional synopsis and the first chapter, too. For a free recipe that comes from the story, click on www.cherylnorman.com and then click FULL MOON LULLABY's cover.

There's still time to enter my contest, so tell your friends. The details are at www.theromancestudio.com under contests & giveaways. Of course, you're already in the drawing if you received this edition of my newsletter because all subscribers (except my family) are eligible.

I'm excited to announce that I'll be one of the authors at this year's ROMANTIC TIMES BOOKLOVERS CONVENTION in Kansas City, October, 2003. I'll be in the Readers' Hospitality Suite to meet and chat with readers. I'll also have a special basket to be raffled off during hospitality. As part of the staff at Wings ePress, I will also be meeting readers and authors in the publishing forum. I hope to see some of you there. If you have never attended RT's conventions, you don't know what you're missing. Besides serious workshops and seminars, there are costume parties, cover models, food, and lots of fun. Most of all, it's an opportunity to make new friends.

During the months of July and September, I will be one of the featured authors at The Romance Studio (www.theromancestudio.com) so drop by and browse. I'm also a featured member at A Romance Reviews (www.aromancereviews.com) and EPIC (www.epicauthors.com). A beautiful animated banner featuring my award-winning LAST RESORT is at several sites, including www.cherylnorman.com. Thanks to my cover artist, Pam Ripling, for designing the banner.

That's it for this issue. I'll be contacting the contest winner via private email to arrange shipment of the autographed copy of STORMS OF THE HEART. Watch out for other contests and giveaways at The Romance Studio, too.
