The You I Never Knew, Passing Through Paradise & That Summer Place reissues It's a triple treat this month—three reissues! Two are novels — The You I Never Knew and Passing Through Paradise — near and dear to my heart—my first full-length books with a contemporary setting, and they rocketed my writing off into new directions. The original publisher, Warner Books, has changed hands. Now held by a French company, Hachette, the imprint is called Grand Central Publishing or GCP. What's remained steady is the readership. My agent calls these "iconic" books, meaning they define a certain type of story with broad appeal. Boy, I hope so. The books are back in stores at a special price—$4.99. And in Target, they'll be just $3.99 the week July 14. At Sam's Club, they'll be part of a 3-for $10 promo. Grand Central Publishing has a fun new web site—check it out here. There's a bio and a couple of articles here.

Also this month, you'll see a new edition of the anthology That Summer Place with novellas by Debbie Macomber, Jill Barnett and me. All this good reading!

Just For You

I get lots of requests for a printable list of books. Click the link to the left, or here. I also get lots of requests for the recipes in my books, so there's a link to your left, too.

You can always order autographed copies of my books from the Eagle Harbor Book Company, a Booksense store. I'll personalize them any way you like, just say the word!

Many of my books are available in audio and large print format, which is easy on the eye. They're pricey, though, but you can read them for free by requesting them from your local library.
