Her true love is Scottish history.
She has spent the last 25 years
helping
her grandfather, a retired historian,
sort, restore and rewrite the history
of
their family in Scotland and England.
That is where she came across the
basis for her novel "A Restless
Knight"
(Kensington, July 2006), set in the
year before the rising of William
Wallace. She had begun work on those
pages for the history of her family in
the late 1200s and thought it was a
perfect story to make a marvellous
novel. Her second novel-in-the-
works, "In Her Bed" August 2007,
Kensington, a series of books on the
saga of Scotland's war for
independence. Next - One Snowy
Knight (October 2008) and followed
by Yield to the Knight.
She also writes paranormal contemporary
romances, which will be put out by
Dorchester Publishing (2006). The
first two "The Invasion of Falgannon
Isle" (December 2006, Love Spell)
the second "Riding the Thunder"
(October 2007), the first two in a
series of seven books.

Love in a Bottle
by Zoe Archer
"Charmy, sexy, wonderful"
Posted February 21, 2007
This is my first book by Zoe Archer--won't be the last.
Zowie! What a wonderfully original tale. Ian Blackpool
and Sophie Andrews are heart-steallers. Their romance
sizzles, but it's not just the hot love story, its the
depth of these wonderful characters that held me
mesmerized.

Shadow Lines: Madonna Key Series
by Carol Stephenson
"brilliant 4th in a series"
Posted November 20, 2006
Carol Stephenson is one of the best, and maybe the most
underused writer for Harlequin Romances. She had done three
amazing books for them, Nora's Pride, Courting Danger, and
now the fourth installment of Bombshell's brilliantly
conceived and realized Madonna Keys series. The books in
order -- 1) Lost Read more...
Mona Lisa Awakening
by Sunny .
"refreshing, sizzling erotica fantasy"
Posted August 29, 2006
I absolutely love those old 1950s B-flicks set it in Outer
Space, so I guess I'm already set up to enjoy this kick
arse, sizzling debut of Sunny (one name like Cher!). She
penned a Sci-Fi Fantasy erotica that shows a tremendous
amount of talent in her debut book. Read more...
The Falcon's Bride
by Dawn Thompson
"spellbinding tale of timeless love"
Posted June 25, 2006
Dawn Thompson has to be one of the hottest rising stars in
Historical Romance today. This is so good to hear. In a
period when everyone else bemoans the genre is dead,
Thompson is making them eat their words. She is a writer
who doesn't speak down Read more...
Love is Blind
by Lynsay Sands
"a gentle tale of real love and beauty"
Posted October 11, 2006
Lynsay Sands is back with another wonderfully, charming
historical romance, with a less than perfect heroine and
hero. And I so enjoyed this one. Lady Clarissa Cambray
has problems. Take her glasses away from her and all sort
of accidents occur. As one condemned to wear Read more...

Until the Knight Comes
by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
"A touch tale of wounded souls"
Posted August 10, 2006
Welfonder has been an auto-buy since her first wonderful
book, Devil in a Kilt. Never has she left me down. As a
writer of this period of Scottish history myself, I
appreciate when another writer delivers such attention to
detail, to Scotland and its history. Welfonder breathes Read more...
A Bite to Remember
by Lynsay Sands
"A Dark and Dazzing Argeneau"
Posted July 2, 2006
Lynsay Sands has been doing the quirky Argeneau vamps and I
adore them. But she is a very talented writer and I feared
she'd box herself into just more of the same. I think
people read her lighter romances, with their wonderful
comedic touches, go "fluff" and dismiss Read more...

Wicked Pleasure

"Bangs weaves demonic magic"
Posted June 25, 2006
Nina Bangs is back with her second tale in the Wicked
series, and it's wicked fun from start to finish. The
premise is three brothers own the Castle of Dark Dreams.
Sort of a sexual Fantasy Island in an amusement park, but
without the annoying midget screaming, "Da Read more...
Seduced by the Night
by Robin T. Popp
"highly original twist on the vampire genre"
Posted June 13, 2006
I am getting a little weary of vampire tales of late, but
there seems to be no stopping the genre. One of the best
to emerge from this over-crowded category is Robin T.
Popp. Popp pulls a cross-genre twist on this, making her
Night Slayer series unique. Read more...

Posted June 13, 2006
Kate Angell's fourth book, Squeeze Play, (Dorchester,
Leisure Books, May 2006) is the first in a series and the
first that doesn't have a paranormal element in it

2005 - Love Spell, Dorchester Publishing). This series
centers on the fast Read more...
Ghost Hunter
by Jayne Castle
"JAK at the top of her game"
Posted June 25, 2006
JAK has been on my pre-order list for two decades - Jayne
Ann Krentz, Amanda Quick and her Jayne Castle paranormals.
However, I think JAK's best writing of the last decade has
been her Castle books. Amaryllis, Zinnia and Orchid, were
sexy, funny and dead on target. The type of Read more...

Killing Me Softly
by Jenna Mills
"Mills moves to big books with stunning force"
Posted June 25, 2006
Killing Me Softly by the very talented Jenna Mills weaves a
dark story of passion and betrayal in the steamy Louisiana
bayous that mesmerizes the readers as few writers can. She

The Untamed One
by Ronda Thompson
"character-driven romance"
Posted June 13, 2006
I often see readers whine a story should have been this or
that way...sorry, I think they miss the point. You the
readers are listening to a storyteller. Ages ago, when the
bard stood before fireside and wove tales for
entertainment, no one stopped him and said, "I Read more...
A Taste of Darkness
by Nina Bangs
"Dead Bang Bangs"
Posted May 24, 2006
have been a long time fan of Nina Bangs' writing, so I am
always surprised by the few who don't "get" her. She has a
style that is all her own. A sexy, campy, cheeky,
irreverent style (might be the cause of those few
naysayers) that delights in Read more...
