Kelly Maher Newsletter-Engaging Erotic Fiction

NOVEMBER 2006





TABLE OF CONTENTS





NEWS

I'm so sorry this newsletter is late. This was one of those times when life events took precedence. In this case, my grandfather passed away after 89 long, and I'd like to think mostly happy, years. Give your loved ones a hug and tell them you love them.

It will soon be time for my readers in the US to give thanks for whatever they're thankful for...like turkey and dressing. Right now, I'm giving thanks for having a release date for The Man from HATHOR (January 14th)! I'm taking time away from the edits to write this newsletter, but I promise to get right back to them :) You can check out an unedited excerpt on the new page for the book here.

Also, I got my very first 5 out of 5 review!! This really meant a lot as I discovered this the morning of my grandfather's wake. Let's just say it was a rollercoaster of a day. This one was for Cimmerean League: Revelations, but other reviews have been trickling in for my backlist too!

I'm going to cut this short so I can get the newsletter out, but I wish everyone a healthy and happy start to the holidays (especially if you do a lot of gift shopping)!

Engagingly yours,
Kelly




BOOKS


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.

Read an excerpt

Cimmerean League: Revelations is now available from Amber Heat alone and as part of The Lusty League Amber Pax.

5 Hearts from Love Romances and More

She explains wonderfully, the depth of magic used, the feelings and the emotions and of course the highly sensuous romance between Bolt and Vie. This is one great read and this reviewer devoured every word not really wanting it to end. But when it did, it was with a big satisfying sigh!


Bound to Love cover All Daniela wants to do is rest and relax after a hard, dreary day. When she slips on a gift from a secret admirer, she triggers a spell cast by a long-dead sorcerer.

Read an excerpt

Bound to Love is now available from Ocean's Mist Press.

4 Angels from Fallen Angel Reviews

Kelly Maher’s Bound to Love is a tale of two lovers cursed to be apart. Daniela and Michael are two people struggling to find what is missing in their lives. The connection between the two is very deep on a physical and emotional level as their love for one another bound them together. I enjoyed the way the author was able to blend the past and the present to bring two people together.

Praise from erotic author, Carrie White

Bound to Love contains two of the best -isms around: eroticism and romanticism. Each passing minute that these two characters are apart, the sexual tension between them is very much apparent, by the author keeping up the tempo nicely.



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!

ON SALE NOW!

Praise from erotic author, Carrie White

With a delightful teaser, right at the beginning, of what is yet to come, Family Jewels tantalisingly dips you into a huge tub of passion and then pulls you out slowly leaving you dripping on the edge. Ready to immerse you again, Kelly Maher cleverly makes use of jewellery to smother all involved with sensuous emotions.



Spring Storm cover When county trooper Aiden Loughlin rescues Gwyn Murphy from a ditch during a thunderstorm, sparks really do fly! You can buy Spring Storm now from Phaze!

4 Hearts from The Romance Studio

Ms. Maher is an accomplished author who can deliver an entertaining story with few words. She takes two main characters, and with very little interaction with others, produces a highly erotic plot which is not only entertaining, but explores the wonder of instant attraction. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read a quick tale of sexual fulfillment.

INDULGE AUTHORS NEWS

While we authors always hope and pray that we get gorgeous covers for our books (and I've been especially lucky in my opinion), if it's a bad one, we hope it's snark-worthy. December Quinn's cover for her upcoming release from Triskelion was snarked over at Smart Bitches. December's a wonderful writer, so ignore the man-titty, and go buy her historical romance (no, I did not forget to say erotic, 'cause it isn't) The Black Dragon when it releases!




READING RECS


This month's recommendations from me are audiobooks. I spend a lot of time in my car commuting for my day job and some weeks, an audiobook is the only thing that prevents road rage attacks. These two authors, along with their readers, are always on my "To Be Listened To" list.

Sins and Secrets by P.F. Kozak - I loved this book! Not only because it's a wonderful modern interpretation of late-Victorian erotica, but also because it's a Choose Your Own Adventure style book!

Double Dare by Saskia Walker - Mmmm. British erotica. I first discovered erotica when I was in college. However, I didn't completely fall in love with it until I studied a semester in England. My next door neighbor (a guy!) introduced me to Black Lace, and I was gone. Saskia's contemporary British voice ensures I'll give other titles from her, and Berkley Heat, a look through.



SPECIAL FEATURE

I love this time of year. I'm not a foodie, but I adore watching Season's Eatings specials on the Food Network. Seriously, I will pay for cable just for Food Network (and DIY, and BBC America, and...oh, I'll just stop there). So, I give you Season's Eatings from Food Network!
