Happy Fourth of July!

I just love summer. Even when it is ninety, I love it. But all the work I am doing on my house will probably keep me from celebrating much this Fourth. I’ll be lucky to stay awake late enough to watch a Capitol Fourth!

Harlequin has bought the mass market reprint rights to several of my books. This means that they will be printing the small size paperbacks. Murder on the Candlelight Tour is the first book they will bring out. It will be the featured novel of their Worldwide Mystery Book Club in September. Check their website in September at www.eharlequin.com, click on Worldwide Mysteries.

I will continue to print most of my titles in the trade paperback size. They are available at Barnes & Noble and online at Two Sisters Bookery in Wilmington. Here is the link: Two Sisters Bookery.

And speaking of Two Sisters, boo hoo, my friend Cathy Stanley has sold her cute and cozy bookstore at the Cotton Exchange. I wish the new owners all the best. Cathy also owns Dee Gee’s books and gifts in Morehead City, and she will be spending more time in MC.

Y'all may remember that Cathy asked me to set a murder scene in Two Sisters and I did that in Cape Fear. I might have to set another murder scene at Dee Gee’s.

Have a safe, fun-filled Fourth, y’all!
