More in the Clayburn Novels series...coming soon!

The first copies of Leaving November, second in the Clayburn novels series from Howard/Simon & Schuster, just arrived on my doorstep! It never gets old to hold a brand new book in my hands for the very first time. This sequel to Remember to Forget hit bookstores March 1, and the first draft for the third Clayburn novel, Yesterday's Embers, is winging its way through cyberspace to my editor this week. I'm loving this new story, and thrilled to be "back in Clayburn" again. (Click on the cover to enlarge and read the synopsis for Leaving November.)

Romantic Times Book Club gave Leaving November 4 Stars!

"The second book in Raney's Clayburn series is meaningful, with realistic characters whose fears and dreams will touch the hearts of readers. Larger themes of forgiveness and looking toward the future after addiction are significant."
Oh, and by the way, for those of you who have asked, there is a real recipe for Wren's Peaches-and-Cream Cheesecake! It just happens to be a long-time Raney family favorite and I'm delighted to be able to share the recipe with you. (Click on the peaches.)
