For all the readers who there who have supported me over the past few years.
If you guys weren’t buying my books, I wouldn’t be able to keep doing this. If I didn’t have some of you requesting my books at the local libraries, I wouldn’t be having books showing up on library shelves. If I didn’t have you talking to your friends about me, some of them might not be buying my books. The understanding that you show when I have to give up writing one of my series, again…you don’t realize how much it means.
I couldn’t do this job if I didn’t have readers willing to support me. I couldn’t do this job if people weren’t buying my stuff. Thank you.
The support means so much…buying my books, asking about them at libraries, talking to your friends about me, and the understanding you’ve shown even when I talked about having to shelf one of my series.
So thank you.
Coming up on Christmas, I’ll have a short story posted over at Samhain’s site, a story titled (aptly) A Present for Christmas. It’s my present, from me, to you…for all the support you’ve given me.

Enjoy, folks…and have a very Merry Christmas.

I’d rarely turn down a free book, but one of yours? NEVER. I’m on my way to the Samhain site!
Thank YOU and Merry Christmas!!

I meant to say, I’ll be heading over there on Christmas. D’oh. I got so excited I forgot I need to wait until tomorrow!

Hubby bought me a Sony E reader for Christmas! A present I would never ever have gotten for myself (because of my issues with technology). But oldest geek son was home for the holidays, so he set it up. I just bought Vixen and I am already halfway through it. It’s great! I’ll be reading the Christmas freebie once I’m finished with Vixen. Keep writing!!!
P.S. I have something I’ll send to your snail mail box early next week. I ran out of them, and found out I can’t order them any more. But I’ll send you a copy.

I’m really sorry to hear that you’ll be putting the Myth, or any of you work on hold… I’m a real series reader! LOL And on that note.. are you done with the Hunters? I know there is only so much that you can do with a storyline, but since you use all of the different genres in that series, I never tire of it and just keep hoping for more, more more…. I love the witches, shifters, vamps, et al and you used such skill in combining them all in such a unique way I couldn’t get enough.

Hi Regina…
No, I’m not done with the Hunters books. There’s going to be an ebook out from EC sometime in 09, I believe, and there was one out from Samhain in ebook in 2008.
After that, though, the Hunters books will only be coming out maybe once a year from Berkley, my mainstream publisher.
Glad you’re enjoying the series!
