Hi All: I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging much. It's been a long, hard summer. I was late with the current book and I struggled with it. It was late and that drove me nuts. All my focus was on getting the book done and I'm afraid I let other things, like the blog, slide. I apologize. The good news is that the book finally landed on my editor's desk on Monday. Whew! Howard and I were glad to see the last of it...for now. At the moment I'm just recovering and trying to catch up with everything I ignored through the summer.
My most immediate project is to put together the proposal for the next two books to present to my editor (the book I turned in was the 2nd in a 2 book contract, so technically, as of now I'm unemployed). Assuming all goes well with contract talks, I'll be continuing the Joslyn Family Series. With Barnaby's half-brother, Luc's book back in N.Y. I'll be concentrating on Simon or Mathew's book. Haven't decided which one of Barnaby's cousins that I'll do first. Thanks for putting up with me. Ta, Shirlee
Hello Shirlee, is a wonderful notice that you will continue with the Joslyn family series... I have a question, there are some novels that you wrote and there never translated to spanish language, there are some plan to traduce it?... I can read in english, but your novels I prefeer read it in my language because I think I enjoy it very much, if I read in spanish.... Greetings... Rossana
ReplyDeleteHi Rossana: DESIRE BECOMES HER, the 2nd Joslyn family series, comes out in July 2012 and, sorry to say, will most likely be the last one. Publisher didn't want another one, so looking for new publisher and it's not likely a new publisher would want to pick up a series started by another one. Boo hoo.
DeleteI have no control over which books are translated into Spanish. That's up to the publisher to contract with a Spanish publisher. Some books they want, others... Sorry. Sorry, too, I didn't have better news for you. Appreciate your comments and your loyalty. Shirlee
Another question :)
ReplyDeleteDo you speak spanish?..I have curiosity because you has written novels with characters that speak spanish, haha, I am so inquisitive Shirlee, sorry.... I want to read " Love a dark Rider"... I am start to read it soon.. :P
Hi Ross: No, I don't speak Spanish. I do have a great Spanish/English dictionary, though :-) Hope you enjoy LOVE A DARK RIDER. Thanks for writing. Shirlee
