This spring will see the publication of my tenth novel. Dead Letter Day, which is also Book 3 of my Messenger Series, releases on February 26, 2013 and I can’t wait.

To celebrate, I’ll be hosting a book launch party on March 1, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at the Avid Reader in Davis, California. If you’re anywhere near the area, I hope you will stop by to celebrate with me. There will totally be drinks and snacks. Maybe even champagne. It is, after all, one of my favorite things.

I’ll also be part of Sacramento’s premier literary event, Authors on the Move, on March 9, 2013. Tables sell out fast at this event so make sure you get your reservation in early if you want to attend. All proceeds go to the Sacramento Library Foundation.  I adore this event and am always thrilled when I’m invited to be part of it.

In June, I’ll be taking part in the University of the Pacific’s 1st Annual Creative Writing Conference.  It’s exciting to be part of the launch of this conference.

As always, I hope you’ll take a minute or two to browse the Books section. You’ll find descriptions, reviews and excerpts there. Also, I hope you’ll stop by Storytelling Rules where I blog on Tuesdays. I’ll be talking about books, television, movies or basically whatever’s on my mind. Leave a comment and let me know what’s on your mind as well.
