Oh, my gosh is it cold...right now, in Erie, PA it's a whopping zero. And my yard is buried in a couple feet of snow. I've spent the better part of the weekend helping shovel us out again, and again, and again. How long until spring? LOL

But there are some perks to all this snow. I don't feel guilty about hermiting in my house, working on the laptop on the couch, right in front of the fireplace, underneath my quilt! All that snow means, I'm getting my writing done at a record pace! Hope you all are warm wherever you are!

Oh, and I have two more foreign books out in February...Once Upon a Prince has a Czech and a Polish translation. I love having my books travel (someday I'm hoping to travel as far as they have!)...it gives me geeky glee! Plus, Here With Me is in a new hardcover, large print reprint from Thorndike, available at Amazon or Barnes and Noble online.

Okay, stay warm...find a good book to read. I just got Cheryl St. John's newest book, The Lawman's Bride, and Nancy Warren's Speed Dating calling my name!!

There's a new contest on my website!!

My first contest in 2007 is designed to celebrate my February Avalon release, Laugh Lines. I'm giving away a hardback copy of my '06 Avalon release, Night Calls. It was story that featured a dog, Dudley. Dudley's based on our Old English Mastiff who passed away last year. They're both big, slimy and very sweet.

So, how do you enter? Just send me an email with "contest" in the header, and tell me about your favorite pet. I'll post excerpts on my blog, Hollyworld. Send me your email at Holly@HollysBook.com and I'll enter your name in a drawing. You'll also be signed up for my newsletters!

Oh, and other fun news...one of my first Silhouette Romances, Do You Hear What I Hear? is available in France as part of a holiday anthology, while Once Upon a Princess is visiting Poland this month.

Congratulations to Sue! She won the last contest...that little "Library" bag!

Happy 2007!
