Welcome to the Great Hall...
...where the tidings of the day are shared.

• GUARDIAN, Book #2 in my trilogy of future-set fantasy romances featuring fallen angel heroes, will be released in October 2009. The excerpt and cover are up! There are reviews for FALLEN, Book #1 in the series, on my blog - link to Alive & Knitting blog on the sidebar - choose the Angels category to bring up the relevant posts.

• I also have an alter-ego, just to keep things interesting (and my fingers busy). Click through on the link in the sidebar to my Deborah Cooke site and the Dragonfire series.

• Those of you who have visited before will have noticed a bit of housekeeping around the Château - as my medieval romances are becoming unavailable new, the "rooms" featuring those books are being mothballed. My entire backlist is listed in the Library and there's a hotlink at the bottom of this page.

• I post to my blog Alive & Knitting most weekdays - this is where I post review quotes and other interesting tidbits. Leaving a comment on a post there is the best way to get in touch with me. You can also sign up for my monthly newsletter, which is called Chestwick and administered through yahoogroups. Links are in the sidebar.

• There are lots of benches to pull up to the fire while you rest your weary feet (and wait to hear the latest tidings) and there will be many stories shared once the hour becomes late. Be careful what you believe within these walls, as things get a bit unpredictable in the Great Hall around the full moon. Chestwick brews a mean cup of mead so the wise are slow in emptying their cups.

Until next time, take care and happy reading—
