Looking Forward to This Year by Linda O. Johnston

Pets Romance & Lots of Suspense | Linda O. JohnstonNext weekend is the February OCC meeting–and after missing so many lately I’m delighted to say I’m planning to attend it.

Never mind that my husband will have to take our younger dog Cari to her obedience class that’s at the same time, though that’s currently my job.  He knows the drill–and Cari’s more inclined to train us than vice versa.

This will be my first visit to the new OCC meeting location.  I think it’s even farther from my home in the Hollywood Hills than the Brea Community Center was, but hopefully it won’t take much longer to get there.

I look forward to attending more OCC meetings this year, too.  It’s a busy year for me.  I’m having four books traditionally published–and the first one, SECOND CHANCE SOLDIER, will be a March release.  It’s the first in my new K-9 Ranch Rescue miniseries for Harlequin Romantic Suspense.  In case you can’t tell, it has dogs in it.  So do my other books coming out this year, and most of what I write these days.  More about the upcoming books in future posts…

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the meeting and to seeing friends in person.  Hope to see you there!

More Romance

Things got by me last month, and I didn’t post here on Slice of Orange. I thought about it when it was just a little late but decided I didn’t have anything as exciting to say as the posts already there, so I chose not to say anything.

But here I am. I’m back! And this is a special month.

Yes, it’s August–can you believe the year is going so fast?

August is the publication month of my latest Harlequin Romantic

Suspense, COVERT ALLIANCE. It’s part of my Identity Division mini-series about a non-witness protection program. As with the last story, the heroine has had her identity changed for her protection. But now there’s a critical reason for her to ignore her promises and return to the place she learned of criminal activity that resulted in threats to her life, but that she couldn’t help prove if the bad guys were arrested. Someone else from the Identity Division is now in town collecting evidence–and of course, the two of them meet. And clash. And are highly attracted to one another…

As you may know, these days I’ve been writing more cozy mysteries than romances, but that may be about to change. The book I’m working on now is one of my Harlequin Nocturnes, a paranormal romance about Alpha Force, a covert military unit of shapeshifters. Looks as if I may be writing another Alpha Force story, too. And a different Harlequin Romantic Suspense series as well. It’s not completely decided yet, but I’m excited.

Meanwhile, I had a great time at the RWA National Conference last month. Hope you did, too. And I’m planning on attending this month’s OCC meeting, and I hope to see you there as well!

Happy New Year!

January 6, 2016 by in category Pets, Romance & Lots of Suspense by Linda O. Johnston tagged as , , , ,
Well, I’m sorry to say that I’ll probably miss the first OCC meeting of the year this weekend, but I’m not sorry for the reason: the post-holiday arrival of more family, including my grandsons!
 
Last month I mentioned here that I was writing a Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel, COVERT ALLIANCE, which will be published in August 2016, a sequel to my Identity Division book COVERT ATTRACTION.  I sent it off to the editor early this week.  I also mentioned that I was about to republish one of my backlist books, a time travel romance called THE BALLAD OF JACK O’DAIR, on Kindle.  It was available then and now for preorder and will be available on January 25.  And right now, I’ve started working on my third Barkery & Biscuits Mystery, but with family around suspect I won’t have a lot of time to write for at least a couple of weeks. 
 
It’s all a great start to 2016, and I’m looking forward to more fun–as well as keeping busy.  And hopefully getting to lots of future chapter meetings. 
 
And let me take this opportunity to wish the same to you.  Happy New Year, and I hope you keep as busy as you want with whatever you want to keep you busy!

Year Ending Soon!

Last month, my blog heading was that this year was going fast.  And now it’s a month later–the last month of 2015.  Talk about going fast! 

I’ve been busy, and there’s a lot going on.  I’m writing away, currently working on a Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel, COVERT ALLIANCE, which will be published in August 2016, a sequel to my Identity Division book COVERT ATTRACTION.  I’m also about to republish one of my backlist books, a time travel romance called THE BALLAD OF JACK O’DAIR, on Kindle–and it’s available now for preorder!  Check it out–it’s got a curious heroine who’ll do anything to learn the end of a ballad about a brave hero and winds up going back in time to the Alaskan gold rush, where she meets him and his wolf-dog Taku.  If you’ve known me that long, maybe you’ll recall the print version. 

I’m looking forward to this month’s OCC meeting, as always.  Once again it’ll be a quandary whether to attend PAW or stay for the regular meeting.  The morning session is about writing contracts, and I’ve always loved contracts… even though my law license is currently inactive.
 
So, I hope to see you there this month, too.

Happy New Year!

January 6, 2014 by in category Pets, Romance & Lots of Suspense by Linda O. Johnston tagged as , , ,

Can you believe it’s 2014 already? I can’t–and yet I can. Time passes quickly, especially with lots going on.

I’m looking forward to the first OCC meeting of the year. Will you be there? I will! The topics all sound great–including the afternoon one about writing military heroes. I do that–although mine are shapeshifters.

The PAW topic will be a discussion of blog tours, and I’m in the middle of one right now to promote my new Pet Rescue Mystery, TEACUP TURBULENCE, just released this month. I may be signing it, as well as my December Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel COVERT ATTRACTION, at the meeting.
Meantime, I’m planning for another three books to be published this year–two Harlequin Nocturnes, both part of my Alpha Force miniseries about a covert military unit of shapeshifters, as well as my first Superstition Mystery later in the year.

And of course in addition to promoting, I’m working on proposals for additional ideas that I hope to be able to write… and will soon be starting another book under deadline.

 How about you? Are you doing a lot connected with your writing career this new year? My fingers are crossed that we all have a happy, productive, and utterly fun year!

I’m still active on Facebook. Please come friend me there!

Happy reading,

Linda O! Johnston
