Kelly Maher Newsletter-Engaging Erotic Fiction

JUNE 2008





TABLE OF CONTENTS





NEWS

All quiet on the western front and it's driving me nuts! If I'm lucky, my birthday present next month will be lots of news for you ;)

The special feature this month is the announcement of a new feature, so be sure to scroll all the way down. Unfortunately, publishing being what it is, Sherrill Quinn's Wicked Omen, the first in the Dark Pantheon series that Tera's Awakening will wrap up, got pushed back to July 11th. The heat of summer has nothing on this story!

For those in the U.S. have a safe and happy Fourth of July and I'll see you next month when I'm a year older :D

Engagingly yours,
Kelly

Praise from Joyfully Reviewed

Bound to Love is a story of lost love. It is written in such a way you feel it tug your heartstrings. Ms. Maher has woven a tale of history and present meeting in a sensual pattern that makes you smile as you read. It is an excellent story.

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.

Read an excerpt

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!

3.5 Stars from eCataRomance

Spring Storm is a fast, scorching read that I experienced quick as a flash. The dialogue was delightful and Aiden and Gwyn were a wonderful pair who had great chemistry!

READING RECS


This month's recommendation is a non-fiction book. It's not a "genre" I tend to read, but when I do, I've been lucky enough to pick up some great writers.

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective by Kate Summerscale - Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher was one of the leading lights of Victorian England's Scotland Yard. It seemed as if there was no case he could not solve. Until the murder of three-year-old Saville Kent in rural Wiltshire. Summerscale draws an intriguing tale of twists, turns and false arrests that inspired such mystery classics as Wilkie Collins' The Moonstone and Charles Dickens' The Mystery of Edwin Drood.



SPECIAL FEATURE

I'm instituting a new feature: Calling Kelly. You ask me any question your heart desires, whether it's relationship advice, what book to read next, who's next in line for the United States presidency if Bush, Cheney and Pelosi kick the bucket (U.S. Senator Robert Byrd, President Pro Tempore of the Senate), whatever. I'm a reference librarian by day, so I should have the chops to take what you've got to throw at me ;) To participate, e-mail me at kellymaher{at}gmail.com with "Calling Kelly" in the subject line.
