Dear Readers,
I’ve got an exciting second half of 2010 planned! Lots of great conferences ahead and I’m also preparing for the release of my next two romantic suspense novels. Look for Senseless in January 2011 and Merciless in February 2011. These back-to-back books kick off a new series of suspense novels that have been great fun to write. Expect some exciting new characters as well as fan favorite Detective Malcolm Kier from I’m Watching You.
I’m also excited to announce that Penguin Books in the United Kingdom will be releasing I’m Watching You in August 2010, Dead Ringer in December 2010 and Dying Scream in April 2011.
Be sure to register for my monthly contest. Winners will receive a signed copy of Dying Scream along with a Mary Burton is Suspense! travel mug.
