Well, I think I'm well rested from some time off over the last month. I've caught up on my reading, organized my office, and even got enough sleep over the past few weeks to keep me going for this year. It promises to be a great one and I wanted to thank everyone for all their support over the last few months. Here's what I have coming up for 2012-2013...
ARPEGGIOS IN THE DARK - Sci-Fi (appropriate for YA) - Earth has joined alliances with two other civilizations, the Gammond, a race of diplomatic geniuses, and the powerful, very dangerous Saatus race, who have already wiped out a fourth civilization because of a slight to one of their royals. Mousikós, the very first half human, half Gammond hybrid faces a life of celebrity where she is never allowed a single minute to herself. When she hides on a derelict freighter to escape the ever-present paparazzi, her life is changed forever when the ship suddenly takes her into space where she discovers, quite by accident, that her voice can kill. Unfortunately, the Saatus she annihilates, is the crown prince of the sovereign family. Earth teeters on the balance of destruction with only a strange young woman, her very inexperienced attorney, and a salty aged space captain who can tell their story. RELEASE DATE: TBD.

THE PIRATE PRINCE OF EGYPT - Book IV in the Centurion Series, Historical Romance - Hasani has a reputation to uphold as the world's greatest pirate; but that's hard to do when you're wasting away in a Syrian jail for making love to one of the Parthian king's daughters. For the first time in his life his luck has run out and he faces a very real possibility of losing his head for good this time. When a mysterious woman shows up and helps him to escape, he falls in love for the first time. The problem is... she is taken prisoner and swept away to Egypt, the last place he wants to be. Will he risk his life and riches to save her or follow old habits and simply walk away. There is something about this girl... RELEASE DATE: 1/16/2013

Hi Minnette, just came back from hearing you speak at Willamette Writers. Thanks for all the great ideas about how to tackle love scenes (they take me way too long to write too). Hope to see you around the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Johanna! It was really fun tonight and I hope I wasn't too nervous. What an amazing audience! :o)
