Exciting News!

My new release, Unforgettable has a companion CD by the fabulously talented Barbara Calderaro featuring many of the songs mentioned in the book. Visit the Music Lounge at Ortolon.com to learn more and even hear cuts from the CD.

BooksIt's impossible to list all the authors whose books I love. I guess I'd have to break it down into categories, starting with personal friends. There's my emails pals: Jacquie D'Allessandro, Julia London, Virginia Henley, Marsha Canham, Kathleen Givens, Sherri Erwin, Connie Brockway, and Jill Gregory. My buds who stuck with me through the early trenches and beyond: Cindi Myers, Robyn DeHart, Emily McKay, and Kit Frazier, as well as Julie Kenner and Dee Davis.

Then there are the authors I don't know personally but love to read: Nora Roberts, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Jennifer Crusie, Suzanne Brockmann, Linda Howard, Lisa Klaypas, Sherrilyn Kenyon...dang, I know I'm forgetting a ton.

Some of my all time old favorite books include works by Judith McNaught, Jude Deveraux, Jayne Ann Krentz / Amanda Quick, Judith Ivory, Johanna Lindsey, Elizabeth Lowell, Laura Kinsale, Joan Wolf, Anita Mills, Pamela Morsi, Fayrene Preston, and LyVyrle Spencer. (Again, I know I'm missing several.)

There are so many wonderful books and talented authors, how does one narrow it down to a single list? Oh well, I'll keep working at it and adding to it. In the meantime...

Happy Reading!

Julie,
Thanks for your comment on my cover. Yours is gorgeous, too! I remember a time when there weren't many covers with a lot of black on them, but it seems the cover folks are realizing how "eye-catching" black can be. :-)
