NEWS

How many months have I been saying "I hope to have news for you next month!"? Finally, *finally* I have news ;)

First. I have a release date for Tera's Awakening, my entry into the Dark Pantheon series. Mark Friday, October 24th on your calendars! Sherrill Quinn's Wicked Omen is already available, Sierra Dafoe's Immortal Lust will be out in 12 days on the 27th, and Anna J. Evans' Taming the Madam releases on September 26th.

Secondly, I've sold a short story to Black Lace Books to be a part of their Lust at First Bite anthology. Lust at First Bite is a return to the Wicked Words style anthologies, and this one is all about vampires. I'm so proud to be sharing space in this anthology with such authors as Portia da Costa and Mathilde Madden.

This fall is going to be fabulous and I can't wait for all of you to put your eager hands on new material from me :D

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.

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.

READING RECS


I chose this month's book because I found it to be a bit different from what you normally expect from paranormal historicals. Hope you enjoy!

Enchanting the Lady by Kathryne Kennedy- In order to permanently claim her duchy, Lady Felicity Seymour must pass a test of her magic. Unfortunately, she has none. But during her test, when virtually no one notices her, one of the king's baronets, the lowest of the magical races, a shapeshifter sees the dark magic that swirls around her. Everything, including his heart, is at stake if she's the source.



SPECIAL FEATURE

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.

The discussion has started on Wild, Wild West by Charlene Teglia, so come join in if you've read it!
