| Lake of Fire,
the third book in the Yellowstone Series, by
Linda Jacobs is shipping now. Be sure
and get your copy. And take a look at the books page
for some great reviews.
The past few months I've been in Virginia, enjoying a lot
cooler weather than the heat wave in New Mexico. We've
had a great garden, trips to the beach and to Radcliff, Kentucky
for a signing at The Bookstore, with bestselling author Lori
Foster, and romance novelist Janice Maynard.
My current project is completing the fourth book in the Yellowstone
Series, working title – Night of Fire,
writing as Linda Jacobs.
For fans of romance, The Senator's Daughter will
be out in January, moved up from February. As you may
recall, Medallion also requested the full on the third San
Francisco contemporary single title, Sins of the
Fathers, which I promise to complete after Night
of Fire.
The new Christine Carroll book The
Senator's Daughter is
the spin off to Children of Dynasty,
by Christine Carroll - the story of two secondary characters
- Sylvia Chatsworth and Lyle Thomas. It will be released
from Medallion Press in February, 2008.
While I was writing Children of Dynasty,
two of the secondary characters demanded to have their own
book. It was no challenge to make a hero of assistant
D.A. Lyle Thomas, he was a great friend to Mariah Grant. Sylvia
Chatsworth was another story – one of Mariah's antagonists
and an all around rich bitch. However, several of the
characters and most especially the author thought there might
be a softer side to Sylvia, in fact a downright vulnerable
one. And here's what happened!
Jacket Blurb for The Senator's Daughter
Sylvia Chatsworth, flamboyant daughter of a U.S. Senator, and Lyle Thomas,
rising star in the San Francisco D.A.'s office, are the city's latest item. Until
the tabloid news paints Sylvia as a party girl too naughty for Lyle, and her
parents suggest they'd be happier if she disappeared. So she does just
that.
For a hefty fee, the Senator sends Lyle off to find his daughter. When
Lyle locates Sylvia in the NapaValley and finds
she's changed her image, he's intrigued enough to delay turning her in. Attraction
growing, they hide out at a romantic Victorian Inn.
Lyle isn't idle, however. He's hot on the trail of some questionable
real estate trades—schemes that connect a missing developer and his vintner
brother, the D.A., and the Senator's "blind" trust. When a
local spring in wine country turns up with mercury pollution, Lyle and Sylvia
wonder how far someone would go to crash land prices and pull off a real estate
coup. And is her father hip deep in Mafia activity?
With their growing love threatened by arson
and attempted murder, there's also the question of trusting
Lyle . . .when Sylvia discovers he's on her father's payroll
. . .
For fans of Lany, I've put in a pic of her at four weeks
and now. She's apparently grown into those jowls.
Thanks for stopping by!
