Happy Holidays!

For me, the most important thing about the holiday season is family. Whether you are sharing a great meal or exchanging presents, ultimately the idea is to hug up everyone you love and those who make a difference in your life.

I believe that family extends far beyond those who share the same blood, but as important, includes anyone you connect to heart-to-heart. That is why this holiday season, I will not only be thankful for my wonderful family (the four-legged ones, too), but for my whole family of readers who make a difference in my life everyday, and for whom I will forever feel a very special kinship.

Family is also an important part of all my books, and in DADDY'S GIRL (due out March 13th), a super-smart law professor, Nat Greco, not only gets herself into a heap of trouble, but discovers that she has a lot to learn about what it means to be family.

Unlike Nat, I already know the value of family, and that is why I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest thanks for you, and to wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season.

And as always, let's not forget our brave soldiers who so selflessly leave their own families, so that we may enjoy ours.

Love,
