But that doesn’t mean I’ll fail to wish OCC a Happy Birthday. In fact, consider this blog my birthday wish!
I gather, from the OCC website, that this will be the chapter’s 34th birthday. That’s really exciting, especially considering that it has been, and remains, an especially dynamic chapter. We’ve got lots of published authors as well as many romance writers who are heading that direction. The chapter, and its members, have helped every one of us at whatever writing level we are. We’ve all watched and participated in how much the industry has changed over time. It’s wonderful!
I’ve been a member for over twenty years and have always loved it. I intend to remain a member for years to come, and to continue to attend as many meetings as possible. Unfortunately, it won’t include this one.
So, again, Happy Birthday, OCC. Have a wonderful celebration… without me.

What does a writer do between drafts of a story? Well, that depends.
I finished a first draft of my upcoming fourth story in my Shelter of Secrets series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It still needs some work, but it’s currently in the hands of my excellent beta reader.

I’ve had a fun few weeks–including my usual writing. Plus, I heard that the Dog Writers Association of America, of which I’m a member, was looking for humorous articles for their upcoming issue of RUFF DRAFTS, their publication, so I of course had to submit a short article about how my puppy keeps me from concentrating on my writing by insisting that I play fetch with her while I’m sitting at the computer. Humorous?

I recently got word that my next Alaska Untamed Mystery, CRY WOLF, number two in the series, is now scheduled for publication on November 7. I love the cover! And the series is the first in which I’ve taken a pseudonym: Lark O. Jensen.
It’s not my only remaining book this year. I was already aware that my Coltons of New York book for Harlequin Romantic Suspense is also a November release. CSI COLTON AND THE WITNESS is officially out on November 27.
