Ah, the winds of winter have blown clean away. Is there anyone anywhere whose heart doesn't beat faster at the thought of spring? Birds chirping. Frogs croaking in the pond behind our house. Tulips and daffodils and delicate fern breaking through the ground and bursting into bloom.

I can't wait to dig in the dirt and plant my colorful gardens.

Those of you who know me are aware of the fact that the only thing I like better than gardening is writing. I've been doing plenty of that this past year. And now the fruits of my labors are about to be picked

Montana Legacy, Book One of my Fool's Gold series for Grand Central Publishing, writing as R. C. Ryan, is in bookstores now.

PLEASE NOTE: Montana Legacy has been chosen by Cosmopolitan Magazine for its June edition Red Hot Read. Watch for a 2-page spread, with an excerpt, in the June Cosmo.

Montana Destiny, Book Two, will be in bookstores in May.

Montana Glory, Book Three, will be released in November.

These three bold cowboys and the women who win their hearts will have you laughing and crying, as they face heart-stopping danger and find the richest treasure of all — love.

Also in November 2010 watch for our annual novella from Jove. The Other Side has stories by J D Robb, Mary Blayney, Mary Kay McComas and Patricia Gaffney, as well as my story entitled Almost Heaven.

I wish you a sunny, glorious spring and summer, my dear friends. May you spend your lazy crazy days enjoying your gardens, and reading to your hearts' content.

You can contact me by posting a note in my guestbook or my Facebook.
