Hi Folks!

Happy Winter! Here we are, January, 2011. Where have the months gone? If you've been subscribed to this newsletter for a while, you might be saying, "Oh, there she is. We didn't know she was still around!"

Well I am. And yeah, you're right. I've been little AWOL from newsletterland, but I've been mighty busy writing, and have some news to share.

So, enjoy the newsletter, and I hope you see something here that tickles your fancy!

Happily ever after,

Maddie

The Ladies of Legend Series
Bed, Breakfast and You

Bed, Breakfast and You


A few years ago, three of my author friends, Jan Scarbrough, Janet Eaves, and Magdalena Scott and I created a series called the Ladies of Legend. The first book in that series was a four novella anthology titled Ladies of Legend: Finding Home. That anthology is now out of print but I'm very happy to share that the novellas, and the combined novel, are going to be available again, this time published by Turquoise Morning Press.

What's different this time is that the four novellas will be available as separate eBooks! We all are so excited, and look forward to their new releases. All novellas and the novel have been updated and revised.

Here is the release schedule for all five of the books:
Finding Home

Finding Home


Claiming the Legend
by Janet Eaves, January 31
Midnight in Legend, TN by Magdalena Scott, February 7
Bed, Breakfast and You by Maddie James, February 14,
The Reunion Game by Jan Scarbrough, February 21

And, the new Finding Home novel (which incorporates all of the ebooks in one print volume) will release March 7, 2011
