Happy 2014!

And to those of you with an outside temperature worse than mine, which is currently hovering around zero with a -25 wind chill, my thoughts are with you. Unless, of course, you actually enjoy this weather which, in that case I say: you're a heartier soul than I am.

Mother Nature has cowed me with this cold, and I surrender. Totally and unequivocally. I'll just stay inside and catch up on all the correspondence and sociability I've missed. I'm not looking to go out and freeze my face off.

So... I'm excited about ME SINCE YOU being released on February 18th but let's face it, it's going to be cold and maybe even snowy, and so to battle snowflakes with confetti, I'm setting up a signed book giveaway to celebrate the release. All the details will be posted soon over at my Laura Wiess Facebook page (if you Like it, the updates will be added to your feed ) so good luck!

Happily, my wonderful agents have sold ME SINCE YOU Italian translation rights, and it will be really great to see this book out in both Italy and Brazil. Not sure of the release dates yet, but I'll post them when I find out.

Sending all good thoughts your way for a wonderful new year full of love, laughter and dreams come true!
