Kelly Maher Newsletter-Engaging Erotic Fiction

APRIL 2008





TABLE OF CONTENTS





NEWS

Spring has sprung and the weather is as wildly unpredictable as usual this time of year where I live. I cannot wait for the warmer weather to finally get here for good. I'm sure those of you in the southern hemisphere are dreading the onset of winter, but I am sick of it! The latest round of edits are done for both stories I have contracted with Ellora's Cave, so I'm just waiting to hear back from my editor on any more. The joys of being a writer ;) I was so frustrated with the set I was working on on Sunday that I cut my finger open! Of course, my editor wouldn't let me out of edits for a measly cut finger, no matter how bloody, so I finished and turned them in. Keep your fingers crossed, not cut!, that I have some firmer release day news for you next month.

Engagingly yours,
Kelly

4 Angels from Fallen Angel Reviews

The Man From HATHOR is an intriguing tale, well written and lively. I especially enjoyed experiencing the different locations. Everything was described so vividly I had no trouble recognizing ancient Egypt and the ceremony was also filled with many scintillating details.



Cimmerean League: Revelations coverIn a world where the good guys work in the shadows, Vie fights the attraction she feels for her compatriot, Bolt. Bolt's done waiting and is ready to claim his woman. Only, an enemy from the past isn't ready to die.

3 Stars from Romantic Times

Maher has created a fascinating world of gods, creatures of the night and mortals with psychic powers. Fast paced with explicit sex scenes, this story draws one in quickly and ends much too soon.

Cimmerean League: Revelations is now available from Amber Heat alone and as part of The Lusty League Amber Pax.

 


Family Jewels cover Amalia Winston is worth every penny she charges for her services. Money is no object to Sasha Feodrovich. When they get together, more than his family's jewels are at stake!

READING RECS


Y'all are going to hate me for this one.

To Taste Temptation by Elizabeth Hoyt - I'm sure some of you have heard of Elizabeth before, but if you haven't run out and get one of her older books to tide you over until this one comes out in May. One of the benefits of being a librarian is that I sometimes get my hands on ARCs, and man, am I ever glad I got my hands on this one! Georgian England. A widow who's lost every man who's cared for her. A colonial merchant who's on the search for the traitor that betrayed his regiment to the French during the French-Indian Wars. Stolen identities. Barriers of class. The ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder way before it was known. Steaming hot lust that can't be denied. This book has it all and delivers!



SPECIAL FEATURE

A recipe I made recently and enjoyed:

Pesto!

In food processor, place about a 1/4 pound hunk of parmiggiano-reggiano cheese and pulse until ground. Feed in a handful each of basil and parsley, three full stems of green onions (edges chopped off), and two cloves of garlic. Pulse until finely ground. Set blade to constant speed (about medium) and stream in extra-virgin olive oil. As a variation, substitute sage for basil and add in walnuts. Enjoy over pork or pasta!
