Happy Valentine’s Day! I LOVE Valentine’s Day and I really like February! January just doesn’t hold any interest for me and n.o.w that we’re into February—I feel sort of pre-springy! What a crazy end of the year, huh? Assuming your life was as wild as mine in November and December, I’m hoping you’ve had some time to sit back and breathe a huge sigh of, “Whew!” I think I’m still exhaling! The snowstorms here in Colorado haven’t been nearly as frequent or nearly as severe as last winter and I’m so thankful for that! We’ve had a couple of doozies (having one as I speak, in fact) but nothing to compare to last year! I’m happy to report Kevin has not once suffered from frostbite—so far! Just keeping the ol’ fingers crossed! I’m feeling very prolific as 2008 begins! As of today, I’m only running about one week behind on my writing goals! I have a ton of stories I need to get out of my head and I’m feeling fairly confident about staying on schedule and getting a four or five of them out this year! What a relief that will be! Which reminds me, SUPER DOOPER THANKS for all the wonderful feedback on The Whispered Kiss! You know how nervous I get any time a n.e.w story comes out, and your fabulous response has settled me right down! Thank you, so very much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Here’s
hoping Valentine’s Day is very smoochie for you!
Warm, too, if you can manage it in your neck of the
woods! Love to You, Marcia N.e.w
Story News! The Whispered Kiss is finally here! Pre-orders shipped last week, and readers are telling us they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this story! The very first reader response out of the gate was this: “I
just finished The
Whispered Kiss and
I loved it so much I cried!” Readers are really enjoying the extended Author’s Note in the back of the book, too—in which Marcia provides us with some serious insight about her inspiration for the story. A real bonus! Marcia has done it again, showing us the importance of over-coming fear, bitterness and heartache, to find romance and true, true love. Love it! Also, watch for upcoming information about the cover art for The Whispered Kiss by artist Jared Barnes! The story of Jared and Marcia’s meeting, and how Jared came to paint the beautiful rose for the cover of The Whispered Kiss, is wonderful! Meanwhile,
do visit http://www.jaredbarnes.com/epicart/index.asp
or www.jaredbarnes.com
to see more of Jared’s beautiful art work.
So, what’s next, Marcia?
Kissing
Cousins? From Marcia: “Almost
two years ago, three stories simultaneously erupted in my mind
and began to haunt my dreams!
Of course they aren’t a trilogy or anything
connected…but they hit me all at once and have been begging to
get out ever since! The
first was the story of Jacey and Scott, whose lovable friend “Harbine,”
captured everyone’s heart!
(I receive so many comments on Harbine…about his being
such a favorite and beloved character.)
LoveMe
turned out to be a reader favorite of 2006 and I was really
happy to see that it was. The
second of the three was last spring’s, Daydreams,
the story of Bo Booker and Sayler Christy…and readers also
wrote telling me how much they enjoyed it!
The third book, a sort of sibling to the first two, is Kissing
Cousins! (It’s
a verb-noun title, not an adjective-noun title…do you know
what I mean?) Kissing
Cousins has been ricocheting around in my fevered
brain as long as the other two, so it’s feeling really, really
great to finish it up! Kissing
Cousins is the story of…oh, wait!
I can’t tell you that!
It will ruin the beginning!
Anyway, it’s the third “sibling” of the three and I
hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!

Yours, Marcia” Excerpt From Kissing
Cousins: “It
won’t change your life…” he said, his voice low and rich
like a warm drink laced with molasses.
“And it sure won’t be the best kiss you’ll ever
have,” he added. Her
body erupted into goose bumps as his thumb traveled slowly over
her lower lip. “But
I’ll try to make it worth your time…” Watch

Slight
Cover Changes for SS and BFTS! Just a little “F.Y.I.” for readers…If you already own the printed copy vxersions of Born for Thorton’s Sake and/or Sudden Storms, you will notice a difference in copies ordered in the near future. Marcia requested some subtle changes to both covers. Sudden Storms has already been updated and the changes for Born for Thorton’s Sake will be implemented soon. Update
on Marcia’s Sister… From
Marcia: “First
of all, thank you to everyone who has expressed concern and
support for my sister as she continues to battle breast cancer.
So many of you have inquired as to her current status and
condition and I’m happy to tell you that she’s doing better!
She just finished her last really rotten chemo and n.o.w
faces radiation therapy and the other kind of chemo (which I can
never remember how to pronounce) before she’s finished.
This will all take until about October or November of
this year! Yuck!
I hope to get out to Thank
you, again, for your caring support, thoughts and prayers.
Gratefully Yours, Marcia.” Two
