Today, I have three big news for you!

First, my second romantic novel Take My Place will be published in April 2009. Here’s a short description:

Maren has one big goal in life. She wants to keep her independence. Her life is full to the brim with her two roles—being a single Mom and the owner of the recently founded Start-Up-Company. Men, she figures, are too exhausting to add to the mix; after all, it took her long enough to recover from her divorce. However, one evening a business acquaintance plants his twin brother Tony in his place and Maren falls for him . . . until she sees through the masquerade. Brimming with wrath, she decides to take her revenge, but she hasn’t counted on her daughter who has quite different plans . . .

I enclose the cover for you, so you can already get an impression!

Second, I will read from Take My Place at the Lindenhof in Geesthacht on Friday, May 8th, at 7 p.m. You are cordially invited! I would love to see you all, particularly as I have moved away in the meantime and think it’s a great opportunity to meet old friends.

Third, the short story Between Floors got another great review from the website You Gotta Read Reviews: “This was a laugh out loud book, that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves romance. It was written with the essentials to a good romance; intelligent banter, humor and just an edge of sizzle. Beate Boeker did an excellent job with the characters that left me wanting to know more about them.” Here’s the link to the full review: http://yougottareadreviews.blogspot.com/2009/01/title-between-floors-author-beate.html

How’s that for a start into the New Year?

I wish you many more good news in your lives, and a fulfilling and exciting 2009! Let’s keep in touch . . .
