Yesterday I celebrated 25 years with the same publisher. The thrill of the sale and publication of my first book will always be with me, even now after all these years.

What is a joy for me is to watch the many talented authors who are just starting out. One new author to watch is Geri Krotow, whose first book is currently on the stands. Look for Rendezvous To Remember, a November title from Harlequin Everlasting Love.

I'm heading to New York City early Sunday morning.  I love visiting The Big Apple, especially this time of year when the autumn colors are in full display and the air is crisp.  It doesn’t hurt any that some of my favorite people in the whole world will be there.  Naturally, I’ll squeeze in a bit of shopping and more than one fabulous dinner, and a friend managed to get us tickets to the hottest play in town—“Jersey Boys.”

When I get home I’ve got to put my nose to the computer screen and work, work, work.  I have the feeling my readers would be upset with me if there was no 8 Sandpiper Way next September.
