An Early Christmas Present

Hi Everyone-

Just wanted to share some exciting news. I just accepted an offer from Ballantine for another Last Chance Rescue trilogy!

No release dates set yet, but I would anticipate they would come out sometime in 2011.

The books aren't written, but I plan to write about three characters that you'll meet in the 2010 trilogy. I started one yesterday and am already loving it!

Couldn't wait to tell you guys. Hope everyone is having a terrific day!

Looking forward to our Monday chat!

    Santa arrived early for all of us! What a great surprise to open up your blog today and read this FABULOUS NEWS, Christy!!!

    C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!!!

    I just knew when I finished your first marvelous book, "Rescue Me" that you were the real thing! Romantic suspense doesn't get any better and every book thereafter has proven that fact!

    Like Ida, I'm counting down the days - February can't get here soon enough for me!

    HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

    Congratulations! That is really terrific news. I'm so happy for you!
    As for the rest of us, it's great to know Last Chance won't be our last chance to spend time with the guys of Last Chance.
    When can we start playing with title ideas? :)

    Ida, I'm glad you got a nap. It was probably all that sparkling grape juice that got to you. (:

  24. Christy ReeceDecember 17, 2009 at 5:31 PM

    Thanks so much, Kara!

    LOL. No titles yet but I have some ideas. I think they'll be fun to play with too. My husband is really rooting for Fat Chance, but I told him No Chance. (:

    Nice try Christy. Unless there's a time warp its 67 days wahhhhh. Not good for those of us who like instant gratification LOL. I guess you're worth waiting for.

  31. Christy ReeceDecember 19, 2009 at 12:50 PM

    But Mary, now it's only 66. See, we're getting there!

    So glad you guys are anxious to read it!

  32. Ida BruglerDecember 19, 2009 at 12:50 PM

    66 days now! lets see hummmm.
    I was going to change that into hours but Na, I do not want anyone hunting me down!

  33. Mary GDecember 19, 2009 at 1:15 PM

    LOL Ida
    I'll be so happy when it's just hours. I think 72 hours is the most I can handle counting down, so that's 63 days & 72 hours LOL.
    A couple of months give or take.

  34. Ida BruglerDecember 19, 2009 at 2:28 PM

    Mary, Its a good thing Christy does not have a count down counter on her site. Everyone would be hypnotized sitting at thier computers. LOL

  35. Mary GDecember 19, 2009 at 4:08 PM

    It's funny you say that. My friend Lea (Closetwriter blog) does widgets for authors. On one hand when they say 102 days it's like OMG. When the countdown counter says 27 days or so you can start to get really excited. Although that's relative since we are already excited here. Christy is good at all foreplay LOL.
