HEART OF THE EAGLE by Lindsay McKenna now available!

Dear Reader,

Happy sixtieth anniversary, Harlequin! I'm humbled to have Heart of the Eagle selected as one of the original novels to be reissued as part of the celebration. I've been with Silhouette Books and Harlequin Books since 1983—that's twenty-six years of working with wonderful editors at these fine publishing houses. In a way, I'm celebrating reaching my quarter century mark with them, too.

So few publishers last very long, but Harlequin Books has its fingers on the pulse of our readers' tastes. That is one of many reasons Harlequin has become more successful over time. I always enjoy hearing from my readers, learning what you loved about my last book and what you're looking forward to reading from me in the future. Most of all, I enjoy the feeling of being part of a global family with my readers.

A writer can never write outside her experience. At least, I know I can't. And perhaps, because I have a ranch background, my love of the Rocky Mountains and ranching life shines through Heart of the Eagle. Anything having to do with nature always lies close to my soul.

I hope you enjoy the "heart" and soul of this book as much as I did writing it for you.

Warmly,

Lindsay McKenna












Heart of the Eagle is available February 2010. Don't miss your copy!


When poachers start stealing eagle eggs for overseas smuggling, agent Jim Tremain knows only one person can help him—predator-bird specialist Dahlia Kincaid. But Dal has been reclusive for months, shunning all visitors after her traumatic divorce….

Dal can deal with any winged predator—it's the ones on two legs she has trouble with! Yet she's inexplicably entranced by the rugged agent, whose soothing touch and Navajo morality earn her fragile trust. But as Dal and Jim try to thwart the poachers, Dal's past suddenly rips into her present—and now they are the prey….

Enjoy!
Warmly, Lindsay McKenna

TIME RAIDERS SERIES IS COMING TO SILHOUETTE NOCTURNE!!







HI Everyone!

Been quiet because I'm working on five books this year! Phew!

I'm coming up for water because I'm thrilled to share with you a secret--a top secret! Here it is:

ROMVETS (a list comprised of women who either were or are in the military and are writers) back in 2005 at the Romantic Times convention, met in St. Louise. Merline Lovelace and I got together and decided to create TIME RAIDERS. This is an author created series. And 17 of our ROMVETS wanted to write on the 12-book series that we had envisioned. Of course, if the readers loved TIME RAIDERS, it could certainly be more than 12 books :-).



We worked with Tara Gavin, Senior Editor of Silhouette Nocturne. She got to choose the authors and she contracted Merline Lovelace, PC Cast, Cindy Dees and myself, to pen the first four books of this unique time travel series. The books are finally coming out! Starting in August, I'll kick it off with THE SEEKERS.


Then, September, THE SLAYER with Cindy Dees



, October, PC Cast with THE AVENGER and Merline Lovelace with THE PROTECTOR.



If you like these first four books of the series, please let Silhouette Nocturne and Tara know. If these books are successful, Tara will be asking for more books from the ROMVETS.



I've uploaded our website front page. TIME RAIDERS is unique in several ways. It is an author created and driven series. It is unique because we felt that many powerful and important women throughout history have been largely ignored by historians. We decided to change that! For example, I'm writing in THE SEEKERS about Servilia, who was the mistress to Julius Ceasar. Cindy's book will show Artemisia, ruler of Halicarnassus. PC's book will showcase the powerful and tragic Queen Boudicaa of the Iceni who fought against Rome. Lastly, in Merline's book, she shows us the power of Empress Wu Jao, the only female empress to rule China. We want our readers to be aware of kick butt, take name women who have made a difference in history because of who they were. We want to celebrate them with you!



And, add to this recipe that Merline and I created (we're co-authors of TIME RAIDERS), throw in aliens, bad guys on Earth, a medallion that if found, can change the world forever, time travel, a communications crown found in the 1947 Roswell UFO accident, and you have, we hope, a wild ride and thrill with hot romance for our readers!

More will be shared with you as we continue to open up TIME RAIDERS to all of you who are interested in time travel novels that marry history with contemporary military heroes and heroines. For more, check out our website, www.timeraidersseries.com.

And, one more thing! PC Cast is going to be on Good Morning America and Nightline (same day/night) on May 28th. She is going to try and mention TIME RAIDERS! Check her out if you get a chance. She's a wildly successful New York TImes best selling author and a ROMVET!

Let me know what you think of our concept. I, for one, can hardly WAIT for August to come when Silhouette Nocturne will release THE SEEKERS, book 1 of the TIME RAIDERS!

Warmly, Lindsay McKenna
