Long overdue

Super pleased to hear this (even if I object to spelling "Yay!" as "Yea!", unless you're actually at a Ren Faire): Wordcandy favorite Lisa Kleypas has agreed to write a historical romance series, and then some contemporary novels, for Avon Books. It's been quite a while since her last historical, and I've found her modern romances to be hit-or-miss, so I'm mega-excited by this news.
