(or weird stuff you find when you start googling yourself)

I wrote this, my first published romance. Not my first finished one, mind you. I've got my share of crap that I eventually decided wasn't good enough for anyone else. Practice books.

The Last Light came out in 2002. I can't believe I actually put the Big Mis and the Virgin Widow in the same novel. (*gasp, wheeze*) Here's something I didn't know; it was nominated for RT's Best Small Press Romance Award that year. I had no clue! Guess it's a pretty good book and you can't get this at BN, ya'll. In further Googling, I also discovered that some random person put TLL on her "Most Wanted Books" list. Apparently this book is rare because I can only find a couple used copies for sale on the Intarweb, and they want almost $30 for the cheapest one!

Weary of the Dance is the sequel, came out in 2002 as well. Sadly, it didn't garner as much recognition as TLL, even though I personally think WotD is a stronger book. The reviews were fab, though. I never finished the third and final book, A Crowd of Stars, because the small press that had contracted it went belly up. It's still sitting around 40K words. Every now and then, I think I should finish it, because it bugs me to have an unfinished manuscript. Reason I didn't - I was a bit disheartened to have my publisher tank and the historical market was in heading for the toilet as chick lit made its rise. The good news is that historicals are on the upswing again. Maybe this series will get new life someday. They're quite yummy and angsty, just the way I like historicals.


Bonus fact: my cover art was designed by the delightful and multi-talented Linnea Sinclair.

Would anyone be interested in acquiring these rare gems? Holla in comments if you are, and I'll think up a contest.
