Dear Readers,Summer is here and I have some wonderful news to share with each of you. Because of your continued support NOBODY BUT YOU, Book # 2 in the Grayson Friends Series was an instant bestseller, hitting both the NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY Bestsellers lists. I am truly grateful and humbled that in this trying economy you purchased NOBODY BUT YOU in large numbers, so much so that it has already gone into a second printing! This has truly been a fantastic time and reminded me of another milestone in my career, having my 6th book, INCOGNITO, being the first made-for-TV movie for BET. It was exciting meeting actors Richard T. Jones, Phil Morris and Vanessa Williams.
I'm pleased that you enjoyed my first venture into the thrilling and fast-paced world of NASCAR. The passion in this exciting sport is just as intense off the track as "on" the track — as you'll discover when reading Cameron and Caitlin's story. Imagine reaching speeds of up to 200 MPH as you jockey for the lead position with 42 other cars gunning to do the same thing. Imagine the concentration, the dedication, the drive. Imagine being the focus of a man using those same skills to win YOU! Resistance wouldn't be easy as Caitlin quickly learns.
New York Times bestselling author, Eloisa James, a B&N online reviewer, penned a unique review of several NASCAR books for their March 04, 2009 newsletter. I was pleased to learn she included NOBODY BUT YOU. I loved the way she did a comparative analysis of the books. I think you will as well, click here to view.
I am pleased to announce that NOBODY BUT YOU has been selected as a FRESH PICK by Fresh Fiction. Click here to view and post a comment. I am very proud of this honor.
INVINCIBLE WOMEN SERIES
AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE – Book Five
I've always wanted to set a book in a Bed & Breakfast. I finally got the opportunity with AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE. My hope is that the book will make you think about life and the choices we make - some good, some bad - and how we handle the fall-out. AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE is a book I wrote to remind all of us to never take those we love for granted. Every book in the series has done, to remind women that they possess the strength and the intelligence to succeed - no matter that the ex is late on the child support, no matter that your teenager is giving you mouth, no matter that you can't see how you'll pay the stack of bills. You can and will survive.This book holds a very special place as a career milestone. It is my 40th book to be published. Bless you for enabling me to live my dream! Thanks to each and every one of you, I just received the Multicultural Career Achievement Award from Romantic Times Book Reviews. AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE, Book # 5 of the Invincible Women Series, will be released on June 23, 2009.
Reviews for AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE:

This is Francis Ray at her best!"
