Welcome to KathleenPickering.com. I'm thrilled you're here! I love that in today's fast paced, high tech world, you and I have a rare opportunity to discover each other.

Here is news from first quarter of 2012:

•  I heard that my debut Harlequin Super Romance release, Where It Began, sold out its print run. I'll know for sure when I receive the royalty statement, but the news has made me so very happy. E-books are still available.
• Dear friend, Heather Graham, has invited me to join her and wonderful friend, Beth Ciotta, in writing a 2013 Christmas anthology for Harlequin Nocturne. We will base our stories on Heather's Keeper's series. It doesn't get any better than creating with friends.
• I just inked a three book contract with Harlequin Super Romance. First release is slated for an April 2013. This is a thrill because not only do I have an incredible editor, Harlequin is the empress of the romance industry.
• Mythological Sam - The Call is morphing. Sam Wilson's story will change from first to third person. We're transforming the cover, as well. If you own a current version, it will become a collector's item. Please contact me if you would like an autographed book plate. The new release should be available by end of summer.
• After spending hilarious hours watching author friends Traci Hall and Cherif Fortin cut up with each other at the recent Romantic Times Convention, I couldn't resist. I video taped their antics. Check out the new Traci and The Reef page and share their insanity.

If you are a new writer, Traci Hall and I offer new authors fun writing advice on the I Wanna Be A Writer page. I especially love the Dolphin Videos from an exciting dolphin dream date in the Florida Keys with Heather Graham.

So read on, write to me, and as always . . . dare to dream!

Lots of love,

Kathleen

 Here's the blurb for Where It Began:

When the reclusive artist, Maria Santiago realizes that she must return to the scene of a boating accident to jog her memory from amnesia, her father insists she rely on his boat captain, the heart-stopping Daniel Murphy del Rio, to take her. Only, Daniel is torn between refusing to take her, or needing to be ground zero when Maria regains her memory. Not only is Daniel her fiancé, but caused the catastrophe that killed Maria's twin and mother. Should Maria learn the secret behind the accident, the truth could ruin their love, forever.
