Well, ‘tis the season. Usually Hanukkah/Christmas is a crazy time for me. But this year, I’m making a deliberate effort to slow down and reset my inner compass. Hopefully I’ll enter 2009 refreshed, renewed, and rarin’ to go on the writing front!

Thanks to all of you who have emailed to tell me you like my novella in the DOUBLE THE PLEASURE anthology. Since it’s the first story in the Wild Hart Saga, this makes me hopeful that you’ll enjoy the rest of the books in the series as they’re published.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

See you in ’09,

Deirdre

Double the Pleasure

Order NowKicking off my new series, the Wild Hart Saga, is the novella, The Luck of the Irish, where you'll meet feisty Maggie O'Brien, whose large, loving Irish American family owns the Wild Hart, a pub in the heart of New York City.
