Hi everyone!
I’ve been remiss in posting on my blog lately, so forgive me. If you ever want to see what I’m up to, I’m usually on Twitter a few times a day. I’m finding one-liners MUCH easier to keep up with on a daily basis.
Next week I’ll be at the Romantic Times conference in Orlando from April 21 – April 26th (will be signing Scions:Revelation on that Saturday if anyone would like to stop by and say hello. I’ll also have copies of the Scions Collector Cards to give away). During the conference, I’ll also be participating in the following panels. I hope you’ll stop by and ask some questions. 
VAMPIRE

When I get back, I’ll share highlights about the conference for those who couldn’t attend.
What I’m working on…hmmm, lots of projects. One theme they all have in common seems to be paranormal. I promise that as soon as I can share some more info…I will.
Best,
Patrice
Hi Patrice,

Hey Lisa! Paranormal for sure.
Maybe one of these days you’ll come across the pond to attend RT. It’s always a blast.
