Hi everyone –

I’m happy to report that today I got “The Call”. (SQUEEEEEEE!!!!)

Entangled Publishing has given me a 3 Book contract for the Night Trilogy along with a Night Walker novella!!!

Night Walker will be released in eBook and Print later this year!!!  Can you believe it???

I can’t tell you much more at this point except that I’m very excited about my editor and publicist…  😀

So I promise to have more details and maybe even a cool cover to share soon, but I couldn’t wait to share the news!!!

Thanks SO much to all my blog readers who have kept me company and encouraging me along the bumpy trail to publication…  You Rock!!!

I can’t wait to finally be able to share this series with you!!!

    Psst! If more paranormal romance writers wrote books like yours, I’d be a happier camper. Send me recs!

    1. Lisa Kessler April 11, 2011 at 10:58 pm

      Awww thanks Lisa Marie!!! 🙂 There are some paranormal authors out there with cool books! I don’t think they’re like mine, but I really enjoy Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series, and Jeri Smith-Ready’s WVMP vampire series is fun too! 🙂

      Hope that helps!
