NEWS

It's getting closer! In a little under six weeks, my first new release in almost two years will be unleashed! I am unashamedly counting down the days, and I hope you are, too! I really need to break myself of this exclamation point habit, don't I?

In other fabulous news, I've also received a release date for End Balance. Mark your calendars for January 9th. I'll have a veritable fountain of new releases that week, as the Lust at First Bite anthology from Black Lace makes its US debut on the 6th.

I 'm sure many of you are making your travel plans for the Romantic Times convention in Orlando next year. Know that I'm am totally envying you. At this point in time, I'm tentatively planning on attending the Romance Writers of America conference in Washington, DC in July and Ellora's Cave's very first Romanticon in Ohio in October. I'm really looking forward to traveling to writer and reader conferences next year as it's been a few years and, dammit, I need a fix! I hope I'll be able to meet as many of you as possible next year and I'll be updating you once my plans firm up.

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


Now, this book has been out for longer than I've been alive, but I finally got around to listening to it on audiobook. I had tried to read it a number of years ago, but it was slow going. The unabridged audiobook is fabulous though!

Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters - Miss Amelia Peabody is not one to let anything get in the way of her accomplishing what she sets out to do, namely the conquering of Egypt. Through travel, of course. Not a wispy companion who succumbs to illness, nor the sudden reappearance of suitors for her newly rescued and hired companion. And heaven knows the ancient mummy haunting the dig of the deliciously handsome Emerson brothers (not that Amelia would tell the elder Emerson of that description, however) can't deter her. This is a wonderfully warm and amusing mystery with one very liberated lady leading the way.



SPECIAL FEATURE

This feature will return next month.
