Rembering It's A New Year!

I haven't blogged in a while here, but I promise that as of today, I'll be adding a post each Sunday to start the week.

2005 was a wonderful year for me. I attended my first RWA Conference, my first book, Capture the Sunrise, was released and Harlequin purchased BET Books. I'm now officially a Harlequin author. I was pleasantly suprised when the Community Manager at eharlequin.com asked me to be the host for the new
Kimani area, a job I absoultely love.

My sophmore effort, EMBRACE THE MOONLIGHT, will be released in September of this year as part of the new Kimani Romance line. It's the second in my Buchanan Brothers series.

I'm working on my third release right now. ONE GENTLE KNIGHT is the first in a three book series, "The Knights of Barbados". TO LOVE A KNIGHT and ALWAYS A KNIGHT will follow. I have no release date yet, but I'll be sure to let you know when my editor informed me.

Just over a month ago, I attended Romance Slam Jam, the annual coming together of African American authors and readers. I'm proud to say that I won the Emma Award for "Favorite New Author!"

Thanks to all those who voted for me.
