NEWSLETTER – Fall 2007 – A New Season and a New Book!

Writing News: I’m very excited about the November release of THE SOLDIER AND THE ROSE, my first novel for Harlequin’s Everlasting Love series.

If you like books that will stand the test of time, then try an Everlasting Love. You’re in for a treat. The whole idea of the series is to explore a couple’s life and love beyond the wedding. In these novels, “happily ever after is just the beginning.”

Many of these stories are based on kernels of truth within our own families. Many stories are set in the cities and towns where we grew up. In THE SOLDIER AND THE ROSE, Charlie returns to Brooklyn at the end of WWII and marries the young widow, Rose, whose first husband was killed in the war. When the story opens, they are celebrating sixty years together. But the question remains: who is her true soul-mate? The man she married with all her heart? Or the man who married her with all of his?

In honor of Veterans’ Day, the two Everlasting releases in November pay tribute to men and women who’ve defended their country during wartime. I’m delighted to “share the stage” with Geri Krotow, the author of A RENDEZVOUS TO REMEMBER.

Come meet the Everlasting authors at our new blog spot! We talk about everything – even offer recipes – so come say hello. Let us know your thoughts about the line and about life. We talk. Here’s the link.

Another Superromance from me is coming next year. No title yet so check out my website or sign up for my newsletter which I’ll send before each new release. I promise not to clutter your In-Box

Personal News: I just got back from a fabulous visit with my youngest son’s family that includes five-month-old Alexis. Of course, she’s the cutest, most adorable baby ever born. And she loves Grandma! She likes to eat my face. We call it kissing. Her four-year-old cousin, Lizzy, is now taking piano lessons – on a trial basis - because her big brother, Aaron, already plays. We’ll see how this experiment works out. I still enjoy the piano myself – my husband jokes that I’m either at one keyboard or another. I don’t think you have to be a professional to derive enjoyment from making music. It’s just fun.

A New Contest: Monthly drawings in October, November, and December to celebrate THE SOLDIER AND THE ROSE. Because I believe that reading a good novel is one of life’s great pleasures, the prizes will continue to be a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble for $10.00 as well as a signed copy of any book on my backlist still available. You pick, I sign. Click here to enter now!

I hope you’re taking time to have fun in your busy lives. Thanks for stopping by and catching up. Happy reading!

Warmest wishes,
Linda
