You can read about the books that are due out up to the summer of 2012 on Home Page, with brief descriptions and excerpts. There is one other book scheduled for 2012.

It is the two-in-one edition of Christmas Beau/A Christmas Bride, due out in October, in time for Christmas reading and shopping. These are two of my older books, originally Signet Regencies. Eight years before the start of A Christmas Beau, Judith Easton had broken off her engagement to the cold, austere, handsome Marquess of Denbigh by running away to marry another man. Now her husband is dead, she is back in London, and she must face the wrath of the man she jilted. A Christmas Bride links two series. The hero, Edgar Downes, is a wealthy middle-class businessman, brother of Cora Downes (The Famous Heroine). The heroine is Helena, Lady Stapleton, the "wicked stepmother" of Sir Gerald Stapleton in A Precious Jewel.

There is another two-in-one edition due out in February, 2013. The books are A Counterfeit Betrothal and The Notorious Rake, long a reader favorite and one of my own too. A Counterfeit Betrothal tells two love stories. Lady Sophia Bryant persuades Lord Francis Sutton, her friend, to enter into a counterfeit betrothal with her in the hope that it will bring together her parents, who have been separated for fourteen years. As her scheme progresses, she does not seem to notice that Francis is not taking the terms of their agreement at all seriously. The Notorious Rake brings together Lord Edmond Waite, a disreputable rake, who first appeared in The Trysting Place, and the widowed Mary Gregg, Lady Mornington, a cultured and intelligent lady, who appeared briefly in A Counterfeit Betrothal. A vicious thunderstorm at Vauxhall Gardens throws them together, and Edmond believes she will be his forever after. Mary has other ideas about that alarming notion.

2013 will also no doubt see the publication of Book 2 of the Survivors' Club series, though it is not scheduled yet and is only half written! It is the story of Vincent Hunt, Viscount Darleigh, the youngest member of the club. The book has a working title of Dancing in the Dark, but titles do tend to change before books are published.

I will be attending three conferences in 2012. If anyone is close by and wants to come to hear me speak or have a book autographed or just say hello, I would be delighted. I'll be at the Romantic Times Convention in Chicago from April 11-15. I'll be on a few panels there, I believe, and at the grand book signing. I'll be at the Spring Fling Conference, again in Chicago, from April 27-28. I'll be the headline speaker at a lunch there, and I'll be doing a workshop. And I'll be at the Surrey International Writers' Conference in Surrey, British Columbia, from October 19-21. I will be doing a workshop there.

Happy reading during 2012!
