Night Vision (Mass Market Paperback)

Thanks so much to those of you who've written to tell me that you enjoyed reading Let Sleeping Rogues Lie (School for Heiresses)! Since some of you have been asking about what comes next, I thought I'd update everyone on what to expect from me in the next year and a half.

First up is a novella in a Christmas-themed anthology to come out from Pocket on October 28, 2008, entitled Snowy Night with a Stranger.  My story (written but still untitled) will feature sweet little Elinor Bancroft from Let Sleeping Rogues Lie. The hero, however, will be new to the series. The other two authors with stories in the anthology are Jane Feather and Julia London, so it should be quite a treat for historical readers, especially those of you who enjoy Christmas stories.

The last two books of the series will come out back to back in July and August of 2009. The July book, which I'm writing now, is about Lucy Seton, the outspoken colonel's daughter first mentioned in  Beware a Scot's Revenge (School for Heiresses, Book 3)  and then appearing in Let Sleeping Rogues Lie. Her hero is also new, although you should count on catching a glimpse of characters from previous books. Mrs. Harris will of course be an important character, and you do find out some more about Cousin Michael (although not enough to tell you who he is, if I do my job right--I know, I'm such a tease). And that's because ...

The August book is Charlotte and Cousin Michael's story! All will be revealed, including some surprising turns (I hope). For those of you writing me with your speculations about Michael's identity, I'm just warning you now--I'm not telling. All speculations will be met with the same answer: Your conjecture is just as plausible as everyone else's. And that's all I'm sayin'. ;-)

For those of you who'd like to try one of my earlier books, Avon will be reissuing The Pirate Lord (Lord Trilogy, Book 1), my very first Sabrina Jeffries title, in September 2008 with a new cover. Some pirates bent on retiring kidnap a shipload of convict women for their wives. But the pirate captain doesn't count on opposition from a pretty reformer traveling with the women. It's my Seven Brides for Seven Brothers meets The Pirates of Penzance story. Crazy idea, I know, but that's how my mind works!

Also, I've been putting out a new comic strip over at the Goddess Blogs. It features two of the character figures (toys?) that sit on my desk--Shakespeare and Jane Austen--who take great pleasure in annoying one another. There's a second and third installment as well. Let me know what you think!

So, do you have any other questions about the series? I'll be happy to answer anything ... except who Michael is. :-)
