Last
weekend, I was busy with romance. Not
personal romance, although I did spend some quality time with my husband. But mostly it was with Romance Writers of
America. The two local chapters I belong
to both held meetings, and I attended them.
And that's
a good thing, since my writing is more on the romantic side than mystery at the
moment.
My next
release will be a Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel called COVERT
ALLIANCE. It will be published in
August.
And the
next book for which I'm under deadline is a Harlequin Nocturne, the eighth in
my Alpha Force paranormal romance miniseries about a covert military unit of
shapeshifters. In fact, I finished some
edits I was working on for my next Barkery & Biscuits Mystery, UNLUCKY
CHARMS, and immediately had to change my mindset to start writing my paranormal
romance which for now, at least, is called HERO WOLF.
That's some
change, since although I wrote a proposal for that book a few months ago, it's
a shift to get back to writing romance after keeping my mind mostly in mystery
gear for a while. Definitely fun,
though. And I've also written a proposal
for another miniseries, this time for Harlequin Romantic Suspense, that looks
very promising... hopefully, more to come about that soon. My mind is used to doing that kind of shift,
although I have to tell it to get busy!
And as you
know, if you read my posts here, I'm into attending writing conferences--and
the next two I've got coming up are romance oriented: the Romance Writers of
America National Conference in San Diego next month, and I just signed up for
next year's California Dreamin' conference, given by the four Southern
California chapters of RWA every other year.
So romance
is sort of at the top of my list at the moment.
But as I've said often, all my romances contain some element of mystery
or suspense, and all my mysteries contain some romance,
Guess I'd
better think some more romantic thoughts for now, though.

It must keep life interesting to keep going between genres. I admire how well you pull it off.
Thanks, Betty. It's challenging but fun.
