And the start of a new year–for my kids, at least. It’s such an exciting time of year for kids–a fresh start with a new teacher and new friends. My three have been in school for three days, and it’s going great! So far, so good! Fingers crossed for a great school year!
And now that the kids are back in school, it’s time for me to buckle down and get back to work. First up are edits on my next book, THE DUCHESS HUNT. It’s the first book of The House of Trent, a new series about a family embroiled in crazy levels of scandal. These stories are hot and romantic and tons of fun to write!

Also, I’m still celebrating the release of PLEASURES OF A TEMPTED LADY. I’m in the middle of a really fun blog tour–if you have the time, I hope you’ll stop by one of the sites!

Take Bella (who is now 2) to see my mom in WA in September. Hopefully, if my application is accepted, start a parent peer leadership course in NVC (non violent communication), start looking at coop preschools in SF, and hopefully, do some light reading ;-).

Nothing really cool planned. About the only thing I’m looking forward to is a hula performance that I attend every year.

Thanks everyone! It’s still hot here, so I can’t believe fall is almost upon us. Congrats to Jane (comment #3), who won the five books. Please comment on my next blog post for another chance! 🙂
