 TABLE OF CONTENTS
Once again, I've left it until the last minute. I really meant to get this out much earlier today. I've had a few things happen since last newsletter, but I keep forgetting about my writing accomplishments because I've also been focused on finding a new job. Luckily my current job is not going anywhere, and I am happy in it, I've just reached a point where I need to be in a position with different responsibilities. More pay wouldn't hurt either ;) However, you don't want to hear my opinion on the job market (I've got people in my profession lined up though...weird). You want to hear what I've done with my writing! Luckily, I've been doing things ;) I did contract with Amber Heat for another short story. However, my editor and I agree that it needs to be expanded. Once I've done that, I'll announce it here. I also had a binge writing session right after I sent out the last newsletter. The short novella I wrote is now under consideration as part of an anthology. I'll find out around the end of the year, so cross your fingers for me! My obsessive need to be validated through rankings can now be achieved! Okay, I'm not *that* obsessive (kind of), but Spring Storm is now available from Fictionwise.com and it's climbing the charts! I made a writing friend of mine laugh by suggesting that I'll knock him out of first. I say that I can at least make it into the Top 5 for erotica titles though! In fact, I'm giving you some incentive to help me achieve that goal. Check out the contest section for details. I need to wrap this up so I can get it out before it gets to be the 16th! I really hope you enjoy receiving the newsletter. Please share it with your friends and encourage them to join :) Engagingly yours,
Cimmerean League: Revelations will be released around October 22nd as part of the Lusty League Amber Pax from Amber Heat.

Kelly Maher is a creative and talented author. Her eloquent writing
style creates atmosphere and sets the mood beautifully. The love
scenes were hot and the family jewels erotic in their decadent
manner of use. This is a great short, sexy, hot story that I recommend
reading. The reviews have been pouring in!

Sigh. I'm still in a bit of a reading slump. I have been reading though!

A
Perfect Fit by Megan Hart - Older woman, younger man, study
buddies and a hot strip show. Just enough sizzle to get your motor
running!
Morrigan's
Cross by Nora Roberts - The first in her new back to back to
back trilogy of wizards and witches, vampires and shapeshifters,
queens and demon hunters, this was a fun read under my favorite
blanket.
