THE THREE AMIGAS
That's what RT called us and I think it totally fits. In case you missed it in my most recent website update, I'm on the cover of RT this month with my two critique partners Jami Alden and Bella Andre. I'm often asked about critique groups and what makes them work, and the accompanying article gives a little insight into how we've done that. Hope you'll look for it at Borders (I'm not sure if B&N still carries it?). I was also thrilled that HIGHLAND WARRIOR received a TOP PICK!
So this is the point where I start getting nervous excited about my book coming out. Of course, it feels like everyone and their mother has a new book coming out that day, LOL. I suppose the good news is that people will be in the bookstores! I'll never forget that my first book came out the same day as the last Harry Potter.
I'll be making a b-line on the 27th for the new Susan Elizabeth Phillips. What books are you guys looking forward to?

I will be getting Lynsay Sands Devil of the Highlands and yours as well. I get RT mag and already read the article. It was a GREAT article. It works and you guys work so nicely together! Congrats.
Hey Cindy,
I'm so glad you liked the article, I was thrilled with how well it came out. She talked to all three of us for a long time about a ton of different stuff, so I wasn't sure what the emphasis would be. I've been VERY lucky--I don't know what I would do without them. :) And Lynsay's book sounds great--I'll be checking it out, too. Sounds like you'll be having a Scottish month!
How cool is that!?! I don't regularly get RT but will have to go find a copy this month! And I've been looking forward to your new trilogy for a while now! Can't believe it's almost here!!! Yay! Are you doing anything special to celebrate? :)
I don't know what I would do without you or Jami either!
;-) Bella
Glad your RT magazine finally showed up, Monica. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, beautiful picture and terrific article!
There are so many terrific books coming out this winter. Of course I'm counting the days until Highland Warrior (and the next two). In February I'll be looking for So Enchanting by Connie Brockway, The Sins of Lord Easterbrook by Madeline Hunter, When a Stranger Loves Me by Julianne MacLean, Devil of the Highlands, Seeing Red by Susan Crandall, Second Chance Pass by Robyn Carr, Too Good to Be True by Kristan Higgins, Montana Creeds: Logan by Linda Lael Miller and What I Did For Love by SEP. Good thing I got all those Amazon gift certificates for Christmas! :)
flchen,
I can't believe it's almost here either! I don't have any big plans, but I"m sure we'll probably go out to dinner (and maybe haunt a few bookstores, LOL).
Thanks, Bella!
PJ,
You are so right about the gift certificates--I'm loaded up from Christmas, too and with all the books coming out in the next couple of months I'm grateful. Our reading lists are pretty darn similar!
Besides yours, I'm looking forward to my Austin RWA sister Tracy Wolff's first single title, Full Exposure. It's actually already out, but I haven't gotten it yet. I'm also looking forward to getting Elisabeth Naughton's debut romantic suspense, Stolen Fury. That came out in December, but again, I haven't picked it up yet. Hhhhmmm, sounds like I need to get to the bookstore!
Hey Lexi,
It sounds like you definitely need to get to a bookstore, LOL! Those sound like some great books. Isn't it fun when chaptermates have their first book out? We have a pretty big chapter so I've bought lots of first sale books. :)
I know. I'm a little overwhelmed with how many chapter mates are published and whose books I read on a regular basis. I'm running out of writing time!
I know, I've been staying up late the past few nights just to get my reading time in!
I had a nice surprise in the mail today. Fresh off the presses...a copy of HIGHLAND WARRIOR! Pretty exciting. :)
How exciting, Monica! I imagine the thrill of holding a new copy of your own new book doesn't get old! :) Yay for you! And soon we, too, can have our own copies in our hot little hands ;)
flchen,
You are so right--it doesn't get old (not that I have all that much experience). I was just as excited yesterday as I was with my first three books. There's just something about seeing it all bound up. I guess that means it's getting close. :)
Oh, that sounds so cool, Monica! Enjoy it.
I definitely will! Thanks, Lexi.
HEY MONICA,
ONLY 13 DAYS LEFT! I MADE MY HUSBAND PROMISE TO BUY YOUR NEW BOOK FOR ME FOR MY BIG 30 BIRTHDAY! I CAN'T WAIT! I AM ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO SAMANTHA JAME'S NEW BOOK. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THOSE BIG, SEXY SCOTS ;)
Hey Anna,
Happy early birthday! I love your choice of birthday gifts! :) I can't believe it's less than two weeks away...
I love SJs books, that's another one I forgot. I'll be buying hers as well. I better bring LOTS of gift certificates to the bookstore with me, my pile is getting bigger.
