Talk about romantic Valentines!! My wonderful husband, Bob, (who is usually shy and not terribly romantic), surprised me on FEBRUARY 14th when a tuxedo-clad barbershop quartet appeared at the door. They handed me a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, then proceeded to sing two beautiful love songs. At the end of the second song, they got down on one knee and presented me with a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a lovely Valentine card! Hands down, this was the best Valentine's Day ever!!

GREAT NEWS!! THE CLIFF HOUSE STRANGLER has been selected for the 2008 Amelia Bloomer Project list of recommended feminist literature for young readers. The Amelia Bloomer Project, sponsored by the Feminist Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association, provides this list to librarians, graduate students, parents, and teachers to assist in selecting reading material for their students, their clients, and their children.

MORE GOOD NEWS!! My website is getting a makeover! Visit soon and let me know what you think. I almost always have a contest going, and I love to hear from readers!!

The second printing of THE CLIFF HOUSE STRANGLER is hot off the press and waiting for you either online, or at your favorite bookstore.
