Hi everyone!

Can you believe it's February already! Time's flying.

CAUSING HAVOC will be on stands in just a few days - February 6th. I soooo hope you like the book!

So far, I've gotten great reviews, so I'm hoping my readers like it as much as the reviewers have. If you read it and get a chance, let me know what you think!

To help celebrate the release of the book, and to break in my  very cool new "chat room" where virtual people can walk around and see all kinds of ultra neat things while visiting with each other and with me.

PLEASE don't let the room scare you - I literally learned it in about 2 minutes.

There is information on the front page of my website - http://www.lorifoster.com - but just to make sure you know, I will be chatting, live and in-person online at:

The Romance Galleria
February 4 th, 2007
4 :00pm- 6 :00pm (EST)

You'll need to go here: http://www.theroman cegalleria. com/download. html
to download and visit my suite in the galleria.

You choose a virtual person to be you, then you move that person using the arrow keys on your keyboard. It's awesome, and a lot of fun - I guarantee it! 

While in my suite you can visit my theater, my shop, my forum, or my lobby, which is where I'll be - gabbing it up!

Some of you might want to download the galleria suite now so you can familiarize yourself with it, but there will be staff on hand to greet and direct everyone, so don't get spooked!
If you plan to attend the chat, definitely download the material fifteen minutes before the chat starts, just in case you have any problems. (But you shouldn't!)

During the chat, I'll be giving away some copies of Causing Havoc and perhaps some other stuff, too.

So mark Feb 4th, 4pm to 6pm (EST) on your calendar now, then go download my ultra cool room!

--- I can't wait to show it off to everyone!---

In other news, the last of the POVs for CAUSING HAVOC is being posted today on my site, along with some fabulous new reviews and reader comments.  Check them out!

Also, I want to remind you that information for the June 1st & 2nd READER / AUTHOR Get Together will go up on my site March 1st. If you'd like to attend this year, the fee is once again $35, and that covers your registration, a Friday night pizza party, a Saturday continental breakfast and luncheon, and lots of time to visit with an editor and a multitude of authors.

Something different this year at the event: a recipe book created by authors. So far I have over 75 authors contributing their favorite recipes for readers. All proceeds from the book will go to facilitate buying and shipping packages to the troops. It's a great cause, and a wonderful collection of tasty recipes.

Watch for registration forms and additional info March 1st!

On February 10th, I'm taking part in a multi-author booksigning, so if you're anywhere near Ohio, come by and see us all!

One last thing...  in celebration of Valentine's Day!

All proceeds from sales will go into the READER/AUTHOR Get Together event, toward our various charities and contests.
The shirt says:

Seven Days Without Romance
Makes one WEAK
Be strong. Love someone today!

You can order the shirt from www.cafepress. com/lorifoster - click on the Valentine's Day section, then apparel. The design is on just about everything, including totes in the tote section, and home and office goods.

That's it from me! I hope I get to see you at the chat, or at the signing Feb 10th.

Take care, stay warm, and keep smiling!
