AND NOW, THE LONG AWAITED
(second)
CRUSIE NEWSLETTER!

Here it is, the second CRUSIE QUARTERLY. I know it's been eleven months since the last one. "Quarterly" in our case means "when Jenny gets a spare minute off from writing and promoting" which turned out to be eleven months. Well, you've been busy, too, it wasn't all my fault. Okay, it was all my fault. But I've been everywhere, never shutting up and then there's the writing I've done. Check out the Shameless Self-Promotions there to your right, plus coming in 2007 is The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes, a paranormal romance written in collaboration with Anne Stuart and Eileen Dreyer (see the Well Behaved Blog for more information) and Agnes and the Hitman, the second collaboration with Bob Mayer. But, you ask, am I ever going to do a solo novel again? Yep, that's what I'm working on now. In fact, I have three in the works, in various stages of incompletion, so while you sit back and relax into the holidays, I'll be typing again, a turkey drumstick in one hand, pumpkin pie on the keyboard . . .

GIMME GIMME GIMME

And then there are the gimme's that nobody else gets that we promised you in every newsletter. In this one, you get to read "Meeting Harold's Father," which is a short story I wrote as part of the back story to CRAZY FOR YOU. It was never supposed to go into the book, but it never went anywhere else, either. Clearly it was meant for you. Thanks again for subscribing to the newsletter!

CHERRIES ON TOPics

One of the things we started this year was the Cherry Forums. Now that I'm off the road (picture me doing the Snoopy Dance here) I'm planning on playing there more often, especially since Bob Mayer and I are reinventing the He Wrote She Wrote blog for 2007. This year's HWSW blog was a journal of promoting one novel while writing another, but next year's blog will be a writing workshop. Each week one of us will blog on an aspect of writing the novel on Sunday, and the other will respond to the first blog and any comments on Thursday, using the novels we're working on together and separately as examples, so you'll get a sneak peek at the new stuff, too. And since that won't be enough for me, I'll keep discussing the topic on Cherry Forums after that if anybody wants to keep talking. Plus we have reader groups and book clubs on there, too. So if you haven't found CherryForums.com, come on down.

BY POPULAR REQUEST

A number of you have been asking for more frequent updates on book releases and appearances, so we're going to start sending out a shorter news update called Crusie News to keep you better informed on all things Crusie throughout the year. We'll also let you know when new pages have been posted to the site and new contests start up so that you can come back and check it out with one click of a link. No worries, the Crusie Quarterly will still be going out too.

ETCETERA

As always, there are a number of new things on the website, including the first scene from the "Hot Toy" and a new holiday contest, The Twelve Gifts of Crusie, where we are giving away, you guessed it, twelve prizes. And since I'll be home a lot more in 2007, I'll be blogging regularly on Argh Ink again, and JennyCrusie.com will keep expanding because I'll have more time to play there, and then there are the new books I'll be writing. . . basically, it's nothing but good times ahead AT HOME. Can you tell I'm thrilled to be off the road in 2007

And as for the rest of 2006, have yourself some wonderful holidays, whatever they may be, please...

Stay safe and warm,

Jenny
