~ Note
to my Friends
in the Medical Fields ~
I
lived on adrenaline and coffee--in baggy scrubs--long enough to know that
you folks are in serious need of a great vacation and a deep belly laugh. I hope
that cruising with ER nurse Darcy Cavanaugh provides a satisfying dose of both.
You have my deepest respect for the work you do and for the truly heroic people
you are. Hang in there. We need you.

engaging . . . a droll, light read." --Publishers Weekly
"Darcy is one of the most enjoyable and engaging sleuths around, and
Calvert offers another shipshape, all-aboard adventure."--Booklist
"I was hooked on the very first page!" --USA Today bestselling
author Patti Berg
"Snarky
literary agents, desperate authors, and hot men in kilts make this
Darcy's most rollicking cruise yet."--Karen MacInerney, Agatha Award

Dear Readers,
Lucky for me (and you!), my favorite
local independent bookstore, READ ALL ABOUT IT BOOKS, now offers an
online catalog. It's part of their fabulous new website. Check it out: Read All About It Books.
This store may be one of the last places to find copies of Dressed to
Keel, as this book has sold out and will not be re-issued in print
form. It is, however, available as an e-book via Amazon Kindle. Check
out my
Kindle Page,
Of course, the second and
third Darcy Cavanaugh mysteries, AYE DO OR DIE and MAI TAI to
MURDER are still available, so no need to drop anchor!
However:
BIG
NEWS:
I'm thrilled to announce
that I've accepted a 3-book contract with Tyndale House Publishing.
My new books will be Tyndale's
first medical drama series, tentatively titled The Shift in
Faith Series. It will offer pulse-quickening medical scenarios with
charismatic characters plucked from the ranks of nurses, doctors,
firefighters and law enforcement. Added to the drama will be
heart-tugging romance, humor and an uplifting message of
hope.
Think, Grey's Anatomy finds
its Soul!
The series will be set in my
native Northern California (Gold Country, the Pacific Coast, and San
Francisco), and the debut book--THE HEALER'S HEART--is scheduled
for release in June of 2009.
This new publishing path--inspirational
fiction--has been my dream for a long time, and it is beyond
exciting to see it coming true. Over the next several months, I will be
exchanging this website for a new one under the name Candace Calvert.
Subscribers of my current NEWSLETTER will receive an update when
this website goes "live." Sign up now if you haven't already!
Meanwhile, I've begun posting
on a new blog,
RX:
Charisma where you can read more about The
Shift in Faith series and follow along as I write, write, write
to bring this adventurous and heartwarming new series to life.
Please stop by and cheer me
on!
