POSSESSIONS in Turkey!

I’m so proud to announce that the first three Possessions novels have been sold to Turkey!

They are:
POSSESSIONS
POSSESSIONS: THE EVIL WITHIN
POSSESSIONS 3 (TITLE TO BE ANNOUNCED)

From the planetware Turkey Travel Guide:

The vast rectangle of Turkey, protruding peninsula-like from the western rim of Asia but with its foothold on the mainland of Europe, serves as a major bridge between different cultures and economic regions. Thrace and the area around the Sea of Marmara in particular have played a vital and unique role as intermediary between Europe and Asia, with an impact on world history that has endured from earliest antiquity right up to the present. The seaway through the straits links the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean with the waters of the Black Sea and since the times of colonization by the Ancient Greeks has carried the flow of ideas and influence towards the north-east, not least through the spread of Christianity from Byzantium into Eastern Europe. Although most of its geography puts Turkey among the mountainous countries of the Near East, its bridgehead position has from time immemorial brought it into close contact with the West so that the culture of present-day Turkey draws heavily on Europe.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

It’s Christmas Eve in California. Good food is cooking and we’re watching THE SANTA CLAUSE. My daughter has put cookies, milk, and Alka Seltzer out for Santa.

I’ve been given so many gifts this year: with my wonderful coauthor, Debbie Viguie, I saw the WICKED series hit the New York Times Bestseller List and then get sold to DreamWorks; I began my new series, POSSESSIONS, and wrote two SAVING GRACE novels. I also started writing my comic book, DOMINO LADY.

Best of all, my daughter is healthy and happy, and our pets are, too. We’re looking forward to the arrival of a new friend, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy, if all goes well.

Many, many wonderful wishes to you!

Lots of love,
Nancy

Scaring myself!

MV5BMTk1MjEyNTY1OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjc4MDY5MQ@@._V1._CR0,0,448,448_SS90_

I’m reading the pages of POSSESSIONS: THE EVIL WITHIN to make sure all the I’s are crossed and the T’s are dotted…wait…and I’ve started watching horror movies while I write POSSESSIONS 3. Want to watch along with me? I’ll be blogging about my scary movie madness at my livejournal blogsite. C’mon over and you can weigh in with your own impressions of the movies I’m using to scare myself silly…and I’d love to hear your suggestions, too!

Thank you so much to everyone who has stopped by this website. This Thanksgiving, I’m so thankful for the support of so many people who have read the WICKED series, the POSSESSIONS series, and my other work. I’m also thankful for my wonderful co-author, Debbie Viguie, our editors, agents, and their assistants. We are both very grateful for everything they’ve done, and continue to do, for us.

Thank you to Annie Finch and everyone at the University of Southern Maine. Thank you, UC San Diego, for my excellent education.

Thank you, my friends and family, especially my wonderful daughter.
