Hello, and welcome to my website, my home on the internet.  Make yourself comfortable while you find out more about me, my books, events I’m attending, my interests and friends.  Once a month I’ll try to post some musings, so check back now and again if you want to know what’s up with me and mine, or get a glimpse into how my mind works .   

This has been a very busy and exciting year for me, starting with my beloved Thin Ice being released last March, after three rounds of submissions and three complete beginning-to-end revisions over a period of 17 long years.  That’s right, 17.  For more on the story of that rocky road to publication, click here.

Then, I was voted the Favorite author at the Polka Dot Banner, an authors' gathering place I am a part of with many authors of all genres. To read my interview or just check out the PDB, click here.

In July Jake’s Return, was released.  You can read the reviews for both Thin Ice and Jake’s Return on my A & R page.  Jake’s Return, which has been blessed with 5 Angels and a Recommended read from Fallen Angel Reviews, is now available in print.

In October I went to New Jersey, where Thin Ice was awarded the New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award, and in March of this year, Thin Ice won a 2008 EPPIE for Best Contemporary Romance. The winners were announced at the EPIC Conference in Portland, Oregon.

Click here to read my interview at Long and Short Reviews.  I also have a two-part article on Finding Your Balance at LASR, and will be hosting a loop chat the first Thursday of each month on the LASR Yahoo Loop.  Anyone is welcome to join.  We’ll be discussing ways to balance your writing life with your other Life.

Thanks to all who entered my contest with a suggestion of who should play hockey player Eric Cameron from Thin Ice in a movie version. The suggestions offered were Hugh Jackman, Mark Wahlberg, Zack Effron, Scott Porter, Josh Hartnett, Kenau Reeves, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eric McCormack, Stuart Townsend, professional hockey players Mario Lemieux and Mark Messier, and my own favorite choice, Russell Crowe.

The winner of an autographed copy of Thin Ice is Sharon Berger. Sharon’s suggestion was Mark Messier. Congratulations, Sharon!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Peace be with you,

Liana
