WELCOME FRIENDS, FANS & ANIMAL LOVERS

Welcome to the official Carolyn Haines website! My goal is to provide a little information, but mostly fun and foolishness. Please take a look around. And do sign up for my newsletter if you haven't already. We're planning some fun things in the future, and all of them involve readers.

I have a big announcement--a new contract for two more Sarah Booth Delaney books with St. Martin's Press. I've very excited! BONES OF A FEATHER was recently released and because of my terrific readers and your continued support, there will be Bones this year and in 2013. I love writing about these characters, and thanks to you I will continue to do so.


I'm really excited about this new site because it will allow for more immediate response to your questions. Technology has changed a lot since we put up the first site. With Priya's help and the fab photos of John Adams (and you guys!) I hope to keep this site filled with items of interest. We have a lot of fun things coming up with contests, new books and plain mischief.


If you'll note, there is a store. Proceeds from the shirts will go to Good Fortune Farm Refuge, so you can make a donation and I'll send a shirt. Simple as that.


Remember, I love hearing from readers, so drop me an
email. I answer every single one. Check out the facebook link on the left, and remember to thank Priya for all the help she gives me in trying to stay abreast of this technology. She is pushing a big rock uphill in this battle!

Best,

Carolyn
