Starquest was the 'book of my heart' to use a cliche. I was thrilled when it was published by The Wild Rose Press, and in the meantime I wrote the sequel, 'Children Of The Mist, which was also published by The Wild Rose Press.One of the characters from Starquest, Kerry Marchant, kept nagging me to write a story about him. It's been a very long time coming, but I eventually finished writing and revising it this year, and having sent it out to a couple of trusted crit partners who were also authors themselves, and after some final polishing, I sent it off to the Wild Rose Press and tried not to think about it too much.
On Saturday I received a Contract from one of the lovely editors of the Fantasy Rose line, and am thrilled beyond words that the third book will finally see the light of day. I can't wait to start work on the edits and of course what my cover will be like (watch this space.)
Of course it's early days yet, but I thought I'd give you a little taste of Beloved Enemy to hopefully whet your appetite.

save your neck, don’t get any ideas. We don’t have to like each other.”
