Kelly Maher Newsletter-Engaging Erotic Fiction

SEPTEMBER 2007





TABLE OF CONTENTS





NEWS

Guess what I did last week! It's something I haven't done in about a year. I signed a contract. Even better, it's for a full-length novel. And the bestest thing: it's with Ellora's Cave! I'm really pleased as Ellora's Cave was one of the first publishers I became acquainted with when I first started reading electronic books four years ago. I'm also happy because this means all of the Deliciously Naughty Writers share one publisher in common! I've updated the website so you can read more about my novel, End Balance.

Coming Together: For the Cure has sparked a great response in the online community of authors. It started with Alison Kent's Comment for the Cure drive. A number of other authors quickly joined in the party, including Jessica Russell, Tilly Greene, Tammi Flora, Samantha Sommersby, Kathryn Lively, and Laurie Damron. Please visit all of these author's websites and thank them for supporting such a great cause!

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.

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.

READING RECS


I've been reading lots this last month, here are a few I've enjoyed.

Night Life by Elizabeth Guest - You may have figured out from "The Man from H.A.T.H.O.R.", I've got a thing for Ancient Egypt and Egyptian mythology. I thought this story was a great merging of Egyptian mythology and vampire lore. It's the first of a new series in a new world.

Carnally Ever After by Jackie Barbosa - A short historical erotic romance, this story stimulates the senses and makes you reach for your nearest significant other.

Sleepless at Midnight by Jacquie D'Alessandro - Another historical, spinster Miss Sarah Moorehouse travels to a houseparty with her widowed sister. Little does she expect to witness a scene straight out of the novel of the day: Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. Little does she know what secrets the lord of the manor, the Marquess Langston, is hiding. Despite the gothic overtones, this is an enticing mix of sweet, smart and sensual.

Complicated by Zannie Adams - University librarian Victoria Ray thought her relationship with older man Greg Stone was only about the sex. Read about what happens when it gets complicated.



SPECIAL FEATURE

First, thanks to December Quinn for giving me the spark of idea for this month's Special Feature! In my most recently finished project, pomegranates play a role in the story. They have a long history, and here are some interesting facts, myths, and recipes.
