News & Notes

I just adore Nicole Baart's writing and am looking forward to her February release, Far From Here, from Howard Books.  I love this video which shares some of Nicole's love of writing and some gorgeous glimpses of her beautiful family :)

I'm thrilled with the news that Elizabeth (Beth) White has signed a three book contract with Revell!  Here's Beth's announcement:

"I've accepted a three-book contract offer from Revell Publishing for my Gulf Coast Chronicles, a historical series beginning with *The Pelican Brides* set in French Colonial Mobile."

I own and have read all Beth's books and can highly recommend them - lovely contemporary romances for the most part with a few suspense and historicals thrown in for good measure!  She has also written one of my all time favourite male characters in her novella, The Trouble with Tommy in a collection called Sweet Delights.
