We had such a great time in Vermont - and they've got a great big Borders in downtown Burlington with lots of my books too! [There's a little celebrate 400 years in Burlington sign in the far left corner. Wow, for us Californians, that seems like an impressively long time for a city to be around.:]

Somebody submitted this version of my RED HOT REUNION cover for the SmartBitchesTrashyBooks cover contest (thanks for alerting me, Tonda):

As far as I can tell, the contest is making fun of that British book cover that has Dan Brown's name bigger than the authors. But whatever the reason, I like it!

How did you figure out your writing process?" After I wrote her back, I thought it might be a good idea to post my email here.
