Six novels already. Congratulations.
An impressive slate!
Actually it's 5, Charles, as the second cover is a large print version of Cut Short. I have written the 6th but it's not yet published. That will be the last one I'm contracted to write - meeting with my publisher early in 2013 to negotiate the next contract (at least I hope that's what's going to happen! Keep your fingers crossed for me!)
Don't they look wonderful. Congratulations and Happy Christmas to you.x
Thanks Debs and the same to you!
