March 2016 Dearest Reader, My big news is that we have a fabulous new cover for my latest gothic tale, The Abandoned Heart! I love how it shares the colors of the trilogy's first book, Bliss House. While the cover of Bliss House showed just the exterior of the house, and Charlotte's Story had a woman watching from a window, The Abandoned Heart takes you right inside the front hall with one of the characters. You don't need to have read the first two books of the trilogy to enjoy The Abandoned Heart. It's about three very different women caught in the dangerous orbit of Randolph Bliss, who, against all advice, builds his masterpiece of a house on land that's tainted with tragedy. The curse echoes down the generations of Bliss House and Charlotte's Story, and even touches a stranger in Cold Alone. Did I mention that The Abandoned Heart is already available for preorder? It would make me wildly happy if you could put in your order soon—that tells the publisher and booksellers that readers are anticipating it. Plus, did I mention it would make me crazyhappy? You can order from your favorite independent bookstore, or Amazon.
