B.J. Daniels: My newest Whitehorse 6-book mini series begins in 2010, Whitehorse: Winchester Ranch Reloaded.   The first book, Gun-Shy Bride, comes out in April and introduces heroine Deputy McCall Winchester in what is my favorite book. McCall is the black sheep of the Winchester family. She has spent her life living in the shadow of the Winchester Ranch--a place she has never been welcome because of a grandmother who has never accepted her or her mother.  But all that changes when McCall finds a shallow grave and remains within sight of the ranch. The case takes her to the Winchester Ranch and finally face-to-face with her reclusive grandmother for the first time. 

The series continues May, June, October, November and December as more members of the Winchester family return to Whitehorse believing their grandmother is dying only to realize the old gal is up to something.

Carol Erickson: The McClintock Brothers series that began with Circumstantial Memories in February '09 continues in 2010 with three more books featuring the remaining three McClintock brothers of Silverhill, Colorado. First is youngest brother, Rafe McClintock's story, The Sheriff of Silverhill, in January 2010. Next up is oldest brother Rod McClintock's story in September 2010 (as yet untitled but will probably be McClintock's Bride). Finally we get Rio McClintock's story (again untitled but we're thinking A McClinstock Christmas) in December 2010. Rio is an illegitimate son of the McClintocks' father and the black sheep of the family. Best wishes to everyone for a healthy, happy 2010!

Paula Graves: I'm very excited about 2010, because I have four books coming out from Harlequin Intrigue, all part of my brand new Cooper Justice series, which features the Cooper Family of Chickasaw County, Alabama.

The Cooper Justice series gets off to an explosive start with attempted murder and a hunt for a serial killer that brings feisty Hannah Cooper under the protection of tough and taciturn Wyoming cop Riley Patterson in January's Case File: Canyon Creek, Wyoming. Then, in February, Hannah's brother Sam is rocked by the attempted kidnapping of his young daughter Maddy and fears that his colorful past may be coming back to haunt him. He'll do anything to protect his child, but can he trust her safety to rookie detective Kristen Tandy, a young woman with a notoriously tragic past of her own? Find out in Chickasaw County captive.

Finally, in August and September, One Tough Marine and Bachelor Sheriff keep the series going, following two more Cooper brothers and the two smart, resourceful women who capture their hearts.
 
Mallory Kane: I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year. For myself, I am so excited about my newest project, The Delancey Legacy, Con Delancey of Chef Voleur, Louisiana, was one of the state's most infamous politicians. He was murdered 25 years ago amid whispers of infidelity and corruption. Now, his descendants must live with his scandalous legacy. Each one has a past and a secret. And each one has a story.

The first Delancey Legacy book, Her Bodyguard, featuring cowboy cop Lucas Delancey, will be out in June of 2010. In November, His Willing Victim tells the story of Ryker Delancey, a detective on the trail of a serial killer. Then in December of 2010 comes Saving Christmas, featuring Reilly Delancey, Ryker's twin brother, who has promised the serial killer's daughter that he'll catch the man who murdered her sister.

In 2011, there will be more Delancey books, each one unearthing a little more of the secrets that died with the infamous politician. I hope you'll enjoy meeting Con Delancey's grandchildren, both legitimate and illegitimate, and the other members of the Delancey family.

Sylvie Kurtz: For me, waiting until my birthday to plan my new year works better and proves more effective. There's just too much going on at the beginning of the calendar year with the holidays and all that entails. This new year starts with teaching two online courses: one on revision (January) and one on structure (February).  (See calendar below)  Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!

Dana Marton: I can't wait for my 2010 books to come out. It's my favorite batch so far. I already have the first, The Socialite and the Bodyguard, in stores right now. (You can read the 1st chapter on my web site.) Then later in the spring I'll have two more of the Defending the Crown series coming, Stranded With the Prince and Royal Captive. Finishing up the year is The Spy Who Saved Christmas in November. I hope you'll like these books as much as I do. Happy New Year!

Julie Miller:  2010 will be a busy year for me. I’ll be writing the four new books in my upcoming The Precinct: S.W.A.T. Team 1 miniseries for Intrigue, the first of which will be released in October of this year. Right now, we’re titling it Protecting the Society Princess. Before that, however, I’ll have a stand-alone Precinct book out in April called Takedown. This one features a hero and heroine who’ve appeared as supporting characters in several of my Precinct books, Jillian Masterson, and Capt. Michael Cutler. Many of you readers have written or emailed to ask about when Jillian or the captain would have a story of his/her own, and I listened! So Takedown is my gift to you. Enjoy! Plus, Captain Cutler is leader of KCPD’s premiere S.W.A.T. Team 1, so Takedown will introduce the members of his team--the future heroes of my S.W.A.T. Team 1 books.

For you ebook readers out there, I'm pleased to announce that several of my backlist titles, for Intrigue, Blaze and the Code Red continuity series will be released this year in Kindle editions on Amazon, and in ebook format on www.eharlequin.com

In non-writing news for 2010, I was asked to captain the "Series Romance" panels for the Romantic Times conference in April. I’ve lined up two workshops for the conference that feature brand new series romance authors, a NYT bestseller, as well as many other favorite series romance authors. We’ll be talking about tips and tricks for getting published in series romance, as well as a few do’s and don’ts, trends and more. Plus, we’ll have free books for the attendees! If you’re interested in attending the conference and meeting us, check out the details at RT's website.   Have a safe, happy and healthy 2010!

Patricia Rosemoor: 2010 holds a special reason for me to celebrate--my 50th Intrigue, Saving Grace , will be published in April. It's difficult to believe I've written so many, but my first Intrigue was published in 1986, 25 years ago. And yes, I was a child prodigy at the time...

Joanna Wayne: I'm very excited about my projects for 2010. In March, Cowboy Delirium will be released. It's something I've never tried before. I've created exciting finales for two of my favorite series, all wrapped up in one explosive read. I've had so many requests for Jaime Collingsworth's story that I knew I had to find the perfect man for her. And what better man could there be than one of my former Navy SEAL heroes for the Special Ops, Texas series? I hope you'll find the combustible combination as exciting as I did.

September and December will see the release of the first two books in my Sons of Troy Ledger series. When Troy Ledger went to prison seventeen years ago for killing his wife, the mother of his five young sons, he lost all contact with the boys. Released on a technicality, he has only one goal, to find the man who killed his beloved and destroyed all their lives. He's given up hope of ever being a real father to his sons, but as they find their way back to Mustang Hill one by one, he finds redemption in their hearts while each face their own murderous situation and find true love in the process. It is a very sensual and suspenseful series that brings home the need for each of us to discover what matters most in life and to share in the homecoming of each son. The Ledger family will surely steal your hearts.

Kay Thomas: Bulletproof Bodyguard, my third Intrigue, is being released in April. It’s the story of a young, widowed mother who is forced to help with a casino robbery on the Mississippi coast when her three-year-old son is kidnapped by ‘guests’ staying at her bed and breakfast. Her only hope is an undercover cop with a troubled past who must choose between saving his career and saving her child. Right now, I’m writing my fourth book for Harlequin titled Bulletproof Hearts, scheduled for 2011.
