Dear Readers, Friends and Fans! I’m absolutely over the moon with the response to First You Run! My deepest appreciation to everyone who is buying the book, talking it up to friends, urging booksellers to reorder, digging into the backlist, and most especially taking the time to write to me. The book has had some really nice reviews, including the elusive “4.5 stars” from Romantic Times, and I truly appreciate the readers who add reviews to the amazon page and the many romance book clubs who are discussing Adrien and Miranda this month. Thank you!

I’ve had so many requests for the 2008 Bullet Catcher schedule that I’m going to post it here, front and center…so you can mark you calendars! I have four books scheduled in 2008 and ALL of them are Bullet Catchers.

What You Can’t See – in stores NOW. This is a sexy, supertnatural anthology of three novellas where I share the pages with talented authors Allison Brennan and Karin Tabke. My story is called “Reason To Believe” and the Bullet Catcher is Chase Ryker, a skeptical man of science assigned to protect a spicy woman of woo-woo.Here’s an excerpt and here’s a link to Chase’s page.

After that, look for the 2008 Bullet Catcher trilogy. All three books are connected and related, but all three also stand completely on their own as romantic suspense novels. You can read them in order (there is a story thread throughout all three) or all alone.

First You Run – in stores March 25. The launch of the 2008 Bullet Catcher trio features Aussie bodyguard Adrien “Fletch” Fletcher searching for a woman who carries a secret she doesn’t even know she has. Here’s an excerpt and the cover. Here’s a link to Fletch’s page.

Then You Hide – in stores late June. The second of the trio takes us to the Caribbean with Bullet Catcher Wade Cordell on the hunt for a woman who will do anything not to be found. Here’s a link to the cover and look for an excerpt in March.

Now You Die – in stores late August. The final book of the trio is the one that fan’s have been asking for…the owner of the Bullet Catchers, Lucy Sharpe, is the heroine. And her man? Well…you’ll just die when you meet him.

I've had lots of requests for a complete list of Bullet Catcher books. You can check out the backlist page for all the covers, release dates and story blurbs, but as a quick reference, here's the whole list:

Kill Me Twice
Thrill Me To Death
Take Me Tonight
"You Can Count on Me" - a novella in I'll Be Home For Christmas
"Reason To Believe" - a novella in What You Can't See
First You Run
Then You Hide
Now You Die

First You Run – April, 2008
Bullet Catcher Adrien “Fletch” Fletcher launches the trilogy when he agrees to track down a baby given up in a black market adoption thirty years ago. He has a list of possible matches, and one tantalizing clue . . . the infant girl had been marked with a tiny tattoo. And since tattoo-hunting will mean getting up close and personal with all of the women on his list, the Aussie heartthrob is the perfect man for the job. But from the moment Fletch meets fragile but determined Miranda Lang, he knows the auburn-haired beauty can never be just a name on his list…and no matter how hard he looks, he can’t seem to find the tattoo that she should have. But he can’t leave her because Miranda is on her own mission, and every step takes her deeper into a deadly conspiracy, requiring protection only Fletch can offer. Can she trust the Bullet Catcher whose mission is to trap her?

Then You Hide – July, 2008
Bullet Catcher Wade Cordell needs a break from killing, so this former CIA assassin accepts the cushy assignment to fly down to the Caribbean, find a woman who is on vacation and convince her to return to the states to meet her birth mother. Nothing could be easier…except high flying Wall Street broker Vanessa Porter isn’t on vacation, she’s on a hunt for a friend who has dropped out and disappeared. And to make matters worse, Vanessa would sooner die than meet and help the woman – the murderer – who sold her as a baby. But as it becomes clear that her missing friend is really deep in hiding and wanted by some very bad people, Vanessa strikes a shaky bargain with the Bullet Catcher who is obviously very good at finding people who don’t want to be found. If he helps her…she’ll help him. But how high is the price for her end of the bargain? Can she sacrifice her pride…her heart…even her life? It gets…hot down there in the islands.

Now You Die – September, 2008
A woman has been in jail for thirty years, accused of a murder that took place in Charleston…but the killer is a man who has not only escaped justice…he defines justice. Lucy Sharpe, the lady who leads the entire Bullet Catcher organization, is so determined to see justice served that she does the unthinkable: she goes into the field as a Bullet Catcher to bring down a man most Americans think is equivalent to a saint. But she can’t do it alone…she takes one of her men with her on the mission and together they find redemption and love. Who is man enough for Lucy Sharpe? You’ll find out when you read Now You Die.
