Autumn 2011
New
York’s hot and rainy summer is history, and we are enjoying a glorious
Fall season. During the last two weeks of September, my husband and I
spent a perfect vacation by the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary, and
I am now back in routine, working on my sixth story about the
Harrington brothers, their families and friends.
In
October, Kensington Publishing Corp/Dafina Books released my tenth
general fiction novel, Breaking The Ties That Binds.
What do you owe a parent? You give what you have, even when giving
that is to your detriment, and yet more is demanded. Sometime you have
to let go and show tough love. Kendra Richards begins to learn that
lesson at about the time a man who is a tower of strength comes into
her life. It is a story of drama, of deep and abiding love, treachery,
deceit, disappointment, rejection and steely determination.
“This
must-read is fantastic to the last line.” -- RT Book Reviews
You may
purchase a hard-cover copy of Breaking The Ties That Bind
from Black Expressions Book Club (www.blackexpressions.com) or a trade
paper-back copy from your local bookstore or favorite internet book
seller.
In March
of this year, Kimani Romance released Passion’s Price
and featured it at Book Expo America this past June. Thorndike Press
published it in large type for readers who would prefer not to be
confronted with fine print.
Four
books in the Harrington series are now in print. Once In A
Lifetime, the first, was reissued in 2010 and Love Me Tonight,
the fifth, was first published in September 2010. Kimani Arabesque
reissued After The Loving, Russ Harrington’s story, in
May and Love Me or Leave Me, Drake Harrington’s story
this past July. The fifth book, A Compromising Affair,
will be published in December of this year. The sixth story is
germinating in my mind.
As more readers favor e-books rather
than print books, touring to do book signings makes less and less
sense: how does one sign an e-book? So please watch for my one-line
activities. Recently, Ella Curry of EDC Media Creations interviewed
me. Here is the link to Black Pearls Magazine features
Breaking the Ties That Bind for October 2011:

I can’t
close this issue of Forster Sentinel without a simple tribute
to my friend, published author Leslie Esdaile Banks, who died of
cancer this past July. I met Leslie before either of us was published
as a fiction writer. Leslie was kind, joyous and supportive. Her
presence never failed to uplift me. She was well informed,
knowledgeable and concerned about the well being of others. I will
always miss her.
