Hi everyone,

Recently, some quotes have appeared on Goodreads that have been attributed to me...quotes about my books promoting infidelity and being a "haven" for it because of some role-playing games in Facebook.

It appears that the original person posting the quotes in my quote stream thinks I write the Black Dagger Brotherhood books and that it's my group on Facebook.

It's not. I don't write that series. As for my own series, I am not responsible for the actions of people who play my characters on any website, Twitter, Myspace, etc. If it comes to anyone's attention that my name is being dragged through the mud, I would appreciate personal contact instead of hit-and-run quotes that only drag it into more mud. I WANT to know if my name or my characters are causing problems. I WANT the opportunity to see what I can do to stop it.

That said, if marriages are in trouble because of books, there are problems in that marriage to begin with. And I do not, in any way, shape or form, encourage infidelity.

Now, back to writing books that women have told me actually HELPED their marriages. *g*

Wow. Okay, so it's been like, 4 years since I last logged in to Goodreads.

A lot has happened since then. Mainly...life. There was this perfect storm of stuff that hit me all at once, and I had to take a step back from writing as much as I wanted to. Thankfully, I had the support of 1001 Dark Nights, which allowed me to write a novella or two a year while I got my shit together.

What shit, you ask? SO much.

I realized that I was writing so much that I was missing my son grow up. Then we started building a house. Then we had to send our son off to college. Then move him back home. Then move ourselves. Then move our son again. Then move my mom. (We still have two more Mom moves ahead of us, and we're STILL not done building the house. Oh, and we still have to SELL our old house.) And I got a crazy dog that needs more time than my son ever did.

Whew.

But the good news is that things are finally starting to slow down just a little, and I'm ready to hit the keyboard again. I knew it was time when my "novellas" started pushing the limits of short novels. I was itching to go deeper and more complex.

I got that in REAPER, which throws a big freaking bomb into the world I created. It's the book that brings a final end to the Demonica series and all its spinoffs and that will launch the new series about the kids...all grown up. What happens in REAPER will have repercussions that no one saw coming.

There are consequences to everything, as the Grim Reaper is about to discover.

So anyway, I'm energized about this, and I'm back to full speed. Stay tuned for more news about the upcoming series.

I can't wait to share the new journey with you!
