"Message from Diana concerning upcoming books etc"
Since Diana could not make her last chat she told me to get everyone's questions from the board and forward them to her. I did and here is her reply's to the questions. 1. Who's story is the June 1st release titled Heartless
HEARTLESS is the story of Jason Pendleton and his stepsister Gracie, who
were featured in FEARLESS. They are the stepsiblings of Gloryanne, who
married Rodrigo Ramirez. Gracie is sailing along with Jason, with no thought
of marriage or complications when Jason discovers a change in his feelings.
Gracie, frightened, retreats and Jason finds himself involved with a New
York socialite to whom he becomes engaged. Gracie's entire life is thrown
upside down and she is forced by the woman, who is not what she seems to
Jason, to leave her home and get a job for the first time in her life. She
is kidnapped by an expatriate South American dictator for ransom, but things
become more complicated than ever when Jason puts up the money to rescue
her. She is forced to face a shadowy past that Jason doesn't even know
about, and come to terms with her own fears of relationships and all that
they entail. A very tender love story with lots of humor and cameos from old
and new residents of Jacobsville, Texas, where the story is set.2. Are you going to ever write a story about Bojo
I will someday do a book on Bojo. I am waiting, as Captain Jack Sparrow would say, for the "opportune moment3. Many people asked when will Harley get a story. They said they hope he starts shouting at you soon
Harley has indeed shouted at me, and I am on chapter three of his story now.
He gets mixed up with an old friend - Alice Mayfield Jones, who tried to do
a post-mortem on the Thanksgiving dinner turkey in BEFORE SUNRISE. They don't
meet so much as they collide, head-on!4. A lot of people asked about the sequel's to The Morcai Battalion. Everyone is anxious to read the follow up stories
I am going to put out the sequel in an e-book edition this December, one way
or another - the company may do it, or I may. It will be under my own name,
as the original was(Susan Kyle), and in the second book, Madeline Ruszel has
to treat an important member of the Centaurian Dectat who hates her guts and
then has to step back and let her lead his men on an attack on a Rojok
position(because Holconcom always leads, and she's the only active serving
member in the bunch!) This is a riot. Centaurian women aren't allowed in the
military, and even the emperor is furious at Dtimun for putting Madeline
aboard the Morcai. Also. Chacon, the Rojok Commander-in-Chief and the
Princess Lyceria find a way to meet. In this book, Dtimun and Madeline have
to find a way to infiltrate the notorious Benaski Port to warn Chacon of an
attempt on his life.
5. Will Duke Wright get a book
Duke Wright is down the line a bit. I like him, but I'm up to my ears in gorgeous men to write about6. Will the Hart's cousin Colton get a book
The Hart's cousin Colter will definitely get a book.7. Will you write more historical in the future and will Alan Culhane ever get a story
I would love to do more historical novels, but I'm too booked-up with contemporaries right now to think about them for a while.
8. Who was your inspiration for the Character of Cash GrierCash jumped up in the middle of THE TEXAS RANGER and refused to sit down. I have no idea at all where he came from, but he is one of the most obnoxious men I have ever met. He's still hanging around my office even now, barging into other peoples' books at an alarming rate. I didn't plan to write about him at all. He just grew out of the book. Honestly, I don't know anybody like him and never have.
9. When will you write about the next Grier brother/brothersThe other Griers are also, like Duke, down the line in the story mill.
10. Will Coulter Banks get a story
Colter will get a story11. Will Alice Jones get a story
Alice Jones is Harley's love interest!12. Will Duke Wright get a story
Duke will get a book
13. Will Kilraven get a story
Kilraven is the 2010 hardcover along with Winnie Sinclair14. Will Hayes get a book
Hayes Carson is about four or five books away15. Will there ever be a book on Donald Treymane
No. Sorry16. Will there ever be a book on the Children of any of your past main characters
Now that's a very good question. In fact, I'm working on a plot for King
Brannt's daughter, who leaves home because daddy's money is attracting
greedy men who don't really want her. She goes to work for an ugly but
charming cattleman who thinks she's just a ranch hand. And then the fun
begins. Hoping to do this one next year or the year after.
17. One member asked: Is Christmas your favorite time of year? I was trying to get in the Christmas mood with a story and suddenly realized you did quite a number of books set around Christmas time. Well, I'm glad you did because it has helped get me in the spirit of things.I am like a child about Christmas. I start planning the lights for my yard
in September. I buy presents in August. I buy ornaments in August. I grit my
teeth trying to wait until Thanksgiving to put up my tree. I light all the
lights then, too, at the same time they light the Great Tree at Rich's(now
Macy's) in Atlanta. That ceremony began the year I was born and will I hope,
continue after I die. It's an Atlanta tradition. I am also a kid about snow,
but we don't get much down here in Georgia anymore.
18. Will John Blackhawk get a book?
Oh, yes, Jon Blackhawk will get a story! He's the 2011 hardcover, and his
book and his half-brother Kilraven's books will be linked.
19. Will Marquez get a story
Poor old Marquez. Oh, yes, he will have to have a book of his own.Hope you all have a safe and happy Valentine's Day. I will be working
furiously on Harley right through it. Look for DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH(the
story of John Callister of Medicine Ridge- Gil's brother) this spring.Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Thanks Amy! I can't wait for Harley and Alice Jones' book, and for Kilraven and Winnie to hook up. It's also exciting to know that Hayes will be getting a book soon and all the others down the road. So much good reading to look forward to!

I feel like everyone does,....can't wait for 2010. BUT, just went back to my DP personal library and realized that I don't have several of her books to re-read. I must have read a library book.. so, ebay and amazon here I come 
I did not see though, if DP has any intentions of writing a story for Drake Stewart, from Before Sunrise? and Tina Cortez's cousin. Also, Marie?
I am re-reading because of the Harley story that is coming up. I don't remember Alice so I am going to re-read.
Thank you everyone!!!

I'm excited about the books that will be coming out later this year and next year. I am wondering if there is a book on Hassan(Elvis) from Lord of the Desert or if one will be written about him?
