The Games Newsletter ~ January 2006

The holidays are past -- hope you had terrific ones! -- so we can all look ahead to what's coming up in 2006. Like the Winter Olympics. In less than a month, athletes from all over the world will gather in Turin, Italy to thrill, amaze and entrance us.

But you don't have to wait until then. Right now you can enjoy THE GAMES, my new trade paperback, which is garnering reviews I want to shout from the housetops. Romance Junkies and Romance Designs give THE GAMES (Delphi Books, ISBN 0-9765185-1-1) their top rating and Romance Reviews Today says: "If the aim of The Games is to give readers a vicarious Olympic experience that is lively, entertaining, and emotionally satisfying, it hit its mark dead center." (You can read more reviews at www.TheGames2006.com )

Since my shouting from the housetops won't do a whole lot of good (people just don't listen to shouts from the housetops the way they used to), I'm asking for your help. I'm asking you to help me get the word out about THE GAMES, to help make it a success. I promise none of these steps are terribly hard and some are incredibly easy. Will you help?
