I am terrible at keeping big secrets, but this one I've managed. So thrilled to share this news that appeared in Publishers Marketplace yesterday:

"Fiction: Thriller: NYT bestselling authors Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison's JEWEL OF THE LION and YARD OF GRAVES, the first two in the new A Brit in the FBI series, complex thrillers with an international flavor involving the pursuit of the infamous Koh-i-Noor diamond and a chief inspector from the Metropolitan Police who gets a taste of the FBI, to Ivan Held at Putnam, in a major deal, by Robert Gottlieb and Scott Miller at Trident Media Group(NA)."

Catherine and I are a match made in heaven. She's a hugely dynamic writer who packs a real punch, and her FBI series has long been one of my favorites. If you haven't read these awesome thrillers, you must! Here's a reading list to get you started.

In the meantime, thank you, as always, for all the support. It means the world. I've got a busy couple of years ahead, writing the Brit in the FBI books with Catherine and continuing Dr. Samantha Owens' story, so here's to lots of books and lots of fun!
