If you haven't checked out Victoria Alexander's newest, A LITTLE BIT WICKED, please "run, don't walk" to your nearest bookstore and get this wonderful first book in a new series. The good news is that you'll only have to wait a month for the next, WHAT A LADY WANTS, which should hit the stores at the end of January.

Publishing books close together always seems like a good idea, but I always wonder if it gives the readers enough time to finish the first and get into the second? And, sometimes, to allow us to publish books so quickly, we need to "stockpile" them--that is, hold onto the first manuscript until the second is close to being finished, too. This happens even when the writer is fast--as Victoria is--and often causes a gap between publications. (For example, Victoria's fans have waited a year for A LITTLE BIT WICKED, when before they waited about six months.) Is it worth that wait so you can get the books quickly later on? I wonder...
