News!

In case you missed my post on Facebook last Friday, I announced some big news!

Here's the post:


 I'll have a new series coming out in Jan. 2012. I'm stealing this blurb from the BookEnds site:

"Sometimes it takes a little magic to make things right. The Enchanted Village is the home Darcy Merriweather always dreamed of: a themed tourist town filled with shops like the Spellbound Bookshop, Lotions and Potions, and the Gingerbread Shack. What she didn't dream was the discovery of her own magical powers. Darcy is a wishcrafter, someome whose job is to grant wishes, and when one of those wishes is to uncover a killer, Darcy's powers are put to the test. Heather Blake is also published as Heather Webber.  Published with NAL"

I'm very excited and can't wait for all of you to read it. And yes--I'll have a pen name: Heather Blake.

I have a lot to do (like write the rest of the book--it's due March 1st), and get a website (or change my current one to incorporate my new pen name), but I'm so excited for this series. If you cross Betwitched and I Dream of Jeannie with murder and mayhem, you get an inkling of Darcy Merriweather's life. The first book has a working title of It Takes a Witch and will be out in Jan. 2012. Seems so far away, doesn't it? But I know how time flies--so I better get writing!
