My latest novel, Maria Gonzalez, was released 1st February with Rogue Phoenix Press. It got a wonderful review from Coffee Time Romance. More can be read at my website, www.nickiefleming.com

Janet Elaine Smith has a new contemporary romance out. Hi, Daddy! takes an "extended family" to the max with Bob Jones and his four ex-wives, seven kids, a hugely successful business, and more skeletons in the closet than you'll find on Halloween. But what happens when the cat's let out of the bag?

Janet is also awaiting the soon release of her next historical romance, Maiden Rock Mistress, which is at Star Publish LLC. It should be out by mid-spring 2009.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson will be speaking on writing picture perfect query letters at the November session of Scribblers' Retreat Writers' Conference, www.scribblersretreatwritersconference.com at Sea Palms Resort, St. Simons Island, Georgia. Scribblers Retreat Writers’ Conference offers four conferences of specifically chosen genres throughout the year. It is brand new and one of the few chances I will speak on the East Coast in 2009.
