Why is it that everything slows down in summer? Life's ticking along for me, and I'm enjoying Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris as a signing evil genius! Squee!) on the net this week. I got a Wii for my birthday and look forward to getting a Wii Fit soon. As writing is going a bit slow - some things are just not ready to come out of the marinade of my mind - I'm gorging myself on books. Check out the Recommended Reads section for two recent winners to come out of my TBR mountain. Which got even bigger thanks to the recent American Library Association conference. I'm sad that I'll miss the Romance Writers of America conference later this month, but if you're traveling there, have a safe trip and a fabulous time! Engagingly yours,

step on the road to recovery from a crushing divorce. She just doesn't

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.

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.

Spring Storm is a fast, scorching read that I experienced quick
as a flash. The dialogue was delightful and Aiden and Gwyn were
a wonderful pair who had great chemistry!

Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan - A historical urban fantasy set during the time of the reign of Elizabeth I, this fantastic story follows Lune, a fae in the court of Queen Invidiana, Queen Elizabeth I's darker half. Michael Deven is a courtier of Elizabeth's, and in the service of Walsingham, the Queen's spymaster. These two courtiers of different worlds are thrown together, only to uncover a secret that may destroy both their worlds. A fabulous read for anyone who likes tales of court intrigue, the fae and a bit of romance thrown in for spice. Death Angel by Linda Howard - To me, Linda Howard is the original Queen of Steam and she doesn't disappoint in this fantastic tale of two people searching, if not for redemption, peace with themselves. Definitely one of Linda's darker books with an anti-hero to die for, and an anti-heroine who refuses to. Don't forget the "Calling Kelly" question and answer I'm doing. Just e-mail me at kellymaher{at}gmail.com with "Calling Kelly" as the subject. Also, as most of you probably remember, I'm a librarian by day. I've started a book club on a new service called BookSprouts. The club is "We Like It Hot" and we'll be discussing books that are anything from steamy, steamy romance to straight out erotica. Anyone can join the group (free registration required) and then nominate and vote for the books we'll be reading. I hope you'll join us!
