I grew up in Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, then lived in Europe before coming back to Colorado. I have two adult sons. I started my writing career as a columnist and investigative reporter and eventually became the first woman editor of two different papers. After winning several national journalism awards, including the National Journalism Award for Public Service, I decided to get serious about my lifelong dream of writing fiction. My first book was published in 2003, and it's been a crazy ride since.
Lately, I've been getting the same questions a dozen times a day, so I thought I'd post some answers here and perhaps alleviate some confusion.
Q: Do you plan to write more books in the MacKinnon's Rangers series?
A: I’m writing one more book in that series, Connor’s book, which is titled Defiant. I do plan to give Lord William and Captain Joseph their own stories, though I’m not sure when I will write them. Watch this blog for excerpts from Defiant!
Q. When is Connor MacKinnon's book going to be released?
A. Defiant, the third book in the MacKinnon’s Rangers series — Connor’s story — will be out on July 3, 2012. The first two books in the series, Surrender and Untamed, are being reissued with new material in December 2011 and January 2012 respectively.
Q. Do you plan to write more I-Team books?
A: Absolutely. Breaking Point came out on May 3 and did very well, so I plan to do two or three more I-Team books. Watch my blog for updates. I know a lot of you love Holly — I do, too — but I'm saving Horny Holly for last. In the meantime, that leaves Natalie’s replacement on the I-Team, as well as Joaquin. I might do a spin-off featuring Megan, Marc’s little sister, who endured so much and deserves her own happily ever after (HEA). There will be an I-Team novella or two to enjoy. For those of you who don’t know, there is one I-Team novella available as an ebook on Amazon.com and B&N. Titled “Heaven Can’t Wait,” it tells Lissy and Will’s story.
Q. Why do you go so long between books?
A. I write two different sub-genres, plus until now I’ve worked full time. On top of that, I’m a very picky writer and try very hard to write the best book possible. I’d rather make people wait than churn out garbage sequels. I’m now working only as a columnist, which frees up a lot more time for writing. Hopefully, you’ll be seeing a lot more books from me — and waiting less in between books.

Verra exciting! I can't wait. Though I do have to say that I'm a little disappointed by the Berkley art department because this cover doesn't really go with the two new fabulous covers for Surrender and Untamed. Not that it will affect my lust to read it :)
