Just a Quick Heads Up!
Hope you saw the update on my website, but I have titles (finally!) for my next trilogy. Drumroll please . . .
Highland Warrior (Jamie Campbell's story)
Highland Outlaw (Elizabeth Campbell's story)
Highland Scoundrel (Duncan Campbell's story)
As you can probably tell, I ran out of "un" words. LOL. I'm still waiting for covers, but I hope to see those very soon. It will be hard to beat the first series, but the art department at Ballantine is amazing so you never know.
I literally just got the titles and yet when I checked Amazon a few minutes ago . . . low and behold the first two are aleady up for pre-sale (thus the link). Amazing. Not quite as exciting as seeing that first book listed for sale, but pretty darn close.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Fantastic, Monica! Hurray for you, and hope you have a happy weekend in celebration.
We can't wait until "early 2009"!
~Val
Thanks, Val! It is pretty exciting. Unfortunately, I have some writing to do this weekend, so not much celebrating going on. I can't wait until early 2009, too! :)
I'm sure Ballantine won't let you down. I'm looking forward to the books too. Hopefully you're having a productive weekend. As you can see, I'm being very productive at procrastinating!
Hey Lexi, as you can see I'm doing the same thing! LOL. I did get some work done yesterday though, so this weekend hasn't been a complete bust. I'll be posting blurbs soon and then excerpts so you guys will know what you are waiting for. :)
Oh, Monica, you know that posting blurbs is just cruel since we can't get the books for a while.
Lexi, too funny! Muhahhhahhha!!!
Monica, the titles sounds wonderful to me!!! I can't wait to read these. I'm sure the covers will be just as wonderful.
Off to check out the update on the website
Hey Buffie,
Glad you like the titles--I'm happy with them as well. I'll share covers as soon as I have them!
I agree with Lexi- posting blurbs is cruel. LoL! However, I do enjoy the anticipation it creates!
I'm new here and I just wanted to say that your books are absolutely fantastic. They are books I have, and will read over and over again because they are so good!
Welcome, Natalie! Thanks for posting--I'm so glad you enjoyed the books. I love hearing from readers!!! Yes, we authors are cruel with anticipation...here's hoping the wait is worth it. :)
Can't wait for the new books. I'm biting my nails in anticipation! lol. Counting down until 2009! :)
I think its worth it. Personally I find it really hard to find good authors. So when I picked up your books on a whim I hit a gold mine! I was truly upset when I learned that those 3 books were your first! It meant I had to wait for the new books! =( but I shall just have to wait!
Im not sure where everyone else is from, but here in Alberta, Canada, it wont stop raining! Its been raining for a good 3 weeks. I love rain, but this is a bit much! At least the farmers are all doing a little dance of glee! (I live in the country... so I get to hear the farmers complain when theres no rain). I went camping last weekend in the Rocky Mountains and it snowed (only a little, but still!) =( Anywho, Im sorry, I went off on a little tangent there! I hope everyone else is having wonderful summer weather!
Hey Shamra, Glad to hear you are looking forward to the books and officially starting the countdown--me, too. :)
Natalie, what a cool thing to say! I know exactly what you mean about hitting the gold mine--I love that feeling of discovering a new author and it's fun to hear my name on the other end!
Okay, sorry to rub it in, but it is absolutely gorgeous here in Northern California right now. Maybe a tad warm in the high 70s, but absolutely no humidity and a gentle breeze. Seriously, I'm not making it up. We could actually use some of your rain--CA is in official water rationing. We have to reduce our water by 15% or pay!
Oh you are so lucky. Except for the water rationing. That cant be fun at all!
Natalie, we could sure use that rain here too. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have been in a drought for a year now. It's 1 p.m. right now and about 97 degrees outside. Hot, humid, and who wants to be outside in that!!!
Monica, I'm jealous of your temps!!
I knew I was going to make you guys jealous. :) I hope the weather lasts for conference this year, but Norcal is SO changeable. Gosh, Buffie, that sounds miserable. :( I hate humidity.
Yeah, I dont like humidity either! My boyfriend lives in Virginia, and I nearly die everytime I go down there. I leave in less than a week for a 10 week visit and Im dreading the weather!
Oooh, Natalie, right in the middle of summer? You are a brave woman! But have a fabulous time.
I'm in Illinois. We've had rain for 2 weeks. We're looking at having the same flooding problems as Wisconsin plus it's hot and muggy.
Shamra,
Rain for two weeks and hot and humid...yikes. Hope things cool down a little your way. We've been having gorgeous weather for weeks--all these storms must be coming from the north?
Hi Monica,
I have been caught up in the life besides the computers so haven't been around much but this is very nice...to come back and find the titles of your new books!
I just LOVE those titles...can't wait for covers, blurbs, excerpts!!
I really don't care if it's cruel, I'll relish in every scrape I can get so the wait until 2009 will be a bit more bareable *grin*
I've reviewed Karin Tabke's MASTER OF SURRENDER by the way...an ARC of her book was sent to the website I review for and I had the honor of reviewing it since I had tipped them after reading about her here.
I loved Karin's work and can't wait for more!
Pearl,
Great to hear from you! I understand about dealing with life--my kids just got out of school so my schedule is going to be packed. So glad you like the titles--you guys are going to LOVE the new covers. I saw a sneak peak yesterday and they are fabulous--even better than the last ones.
So glad I tipped you off about Karin! I love her writing, too, and I really think readers are going to love this new book. I'll be interviewing her on the Divas next Thursday.
Thursday I'll try and catch the interview with Karin on the Divas..but I think it will be Friday since I'll be away all Thursday until late...Friday I have the day off, so plenty of time to cruise the blogs and websites :D
Can't wait for those covers, Monica! The way time is flying by the last few months I guess 2009 will be here in the blink of an eye!
So the new covers are even better than the last ones? How is that even possible? I can't wait to see them now!! I sure hope they have sexy guys on them again!!
Hey Monica ~
I absolutely love the titles. I did see the update on your website and I'm so looking forward to the new covers. I hope they use Nathan Kemp's arms again! Rory's cover was my favorite! Counting down to 2009.
We just got back from the beach. Spent the week with other romance readers. Lots of fun in the sun and book yapping. Of course I had to pimp your books! I have a really bad sunburns though! Blah!
BTW did you get to read Robyn Carr's book yet? I think you'll like those.
How have you been? Still bummed I can't make it to RWA.
Hugs,
Ing
Sorry for the delayed responses, I've been trying to get the kids settled in summer programs...ugh.
Pearl, definitely try to catch the blog with Karin (even if it's a day late!) I hear you about 2009--I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I've been working so hard on all these books, I've kind of lost time.
Buffie, I know, I know, hard to believe, but I swear it's true. I can't wait to see what you guys think (I can't wait to see the final versions myself!) I'll post them as soon as I get them. And yes, no fears, they still have a sexy guy on the front.
Hey Ing, I don't think it's nathan camp, but this guy has a great body, too. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Sounds like a fun weekend and thanks for pimping the books. :) Yes, I was going to tell you, I did read Robyn's first book in the series and loved it. I'll definitely be picking up the others. Thanks for the rec! I've been good--but busy (with the monsters). Hope you are well (except for the sunburn!). I'll miss you at RWA. :(
The sunburn is so much better now I actually have a nice tan..lol!
I'm so glad you liked the books. Robyn will be happy to hear that. Isn't Jack great? I wanted to run off to Virgin River and find my own Jack.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new covers I can't wait. The previous covers were so fantastic that I can't imagine anything beating them. Looking forward to being proved wrong though.
Did get the kids in any camps yet? I was able to get mine in the craft camp and gymnastics camp a few weeks to keep her busy.
Hugs,
Ing
Ing,
My kids are basically in wall to wall camps all summer. I have a deadline looming and I need the quiet time. I would feel guilty except that they are doing TONS of fun things like golf, swimming, tennis, cooking. So I guess they don't have it so bad--better than being stuck in the house with mom. LOL.
Glad to hear the sunburn is better! I haven't had a tan in years--it sounds good. :)
And I hear you about Jack--he actually reminded me of some of the guys I know from Tahoe. I'll make sure to look for Robyn at the literacy signing if she's there.
LOL..Monika the kids sound like they'll have an exciting summer. I think camps are great. If I could afford more I'd put my daughter in more camps.
Robyn will be in San Fran this year too so definitely try to find her.
Hugs,
Ing
I can't wait for you new book! I'm dying for some good Scottish romance! Your love scenes are the best.
Ing, I hear you about the cost of camps. I feel for people with kids in private schools--I don't know how people do it. I'll definitely look for Robyn.
Welcome, Kelseylynne! I'm so glad you are looking forward to next series. I spent the weekend going over my copyedits for book #1 so it's getting VERY close. Thanks for the great compliment--I think love scenes can be the most challenging parts of the book to write so it means a lot!
