 TABLE OF CONTENTS
So much happening! Bound to Love released last Monday from Ocean's Mist Press. Cimmerean League: Revelations will be releasing next week from Amber Heat as part of The Lusty League Amber Pax. I sold another story to Phaze! Squee!!! The Man from HATHOR currently has a tentative release date of January 2007. I'll announce further details on the blog and in upcoming newsletters. I'm about to burrow down and work on a story to submit to Amber Heat for an upcoming shapeshifter Amber Pax. Diving back into the world of the Cimmerean League means some hot and tense moments are ahead. That's right, I'm planning to write three more stories of the Cimmerean League. It's my first full on attempt at a series. I hope I can do them justice! With it being October, one of my favorite holidays of the year is just around the corner. I hope that you get few tricks, and many, many treats (even if they are of the tricky kind <wink>) in your Halloween basket! Engagingly yours,
Cimmerean League: Revelations will be released around
October 22nd as part of the Lusty League Amber Pax from Amber
Heat.
Bound to Love is now available from Ocean's
Mist Press.
4 Flags from Euro-Reviews
Kelly Maher is a creative and talented author. Her eloquent writing
style creates atmosphere and sets the mood beautifully. The love
scenes were hot and the family jewels erotic in their decadent
manner of use. This is a great short, sexy, hot story that I recommend
reading. The reviews have been pouring in!

Without further ado, congratulations: tammywar2000 Congratulations tammywar2000! E-mail me at kellymahercontest{at}gmail.com with your e-mail address! Sadly, SPRING STORM did not reach Fictionwise's Top 5 for erotica, so there was no second draw for last month's prize. We'll try again next time. In honor of me selling another story to Phaze, November's random newsletter member will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Phaze bookstore. Major, major kudos go out to Sherrill Quinn!! She recently reached a goal of hers and sold a short story to Ellora's Cave as part of their 2007 Ellora's Cavemen series. Congratulations, hon!! Be sure to check out her next release, Obsidian's Flame which is part of The Lusty League Amber Pax with Cimmerean League: Revelations. My story, By the Book,that I post to the Indulge Authors blog seems to be back to every third Monday. If, I've got my math right, the next installment goes up...eep! Tomorrow! Here's a very quick blurb of By the Book: Morgana's life lately has been peppered by bad luck. Her luck's about to change. Angels Fall by Nora Roberts, read by Joyce Bean - Reece Gilmore is a woman on the run from her past. She sets up shop in Angel Falls, Wyoming, determined to stay when a madman decides she's unwanted. Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich, read by Lorelei King - The latest installmentin the Stephanie Plum series, Stephanie discovers she's the object of desire for a psycho who's decided to take over Ranger's life. I have one more special reading recommendation from me. Full disclaimer, as she's a friend of mine, but her books are truly enjoyable! From London with Love by Jenna Petersen - The first in her Lady Spies series, Jenna pits Lady Meredith Sinclair against Tristan Archer, Marquis of Carmichael. He once saved Meredith's life, but now he may cause the destruction of everything she believes in. As I've heard Jenna describe the series, think of "Charlie's Angels" in the Regency Period. And on to our member recommendations! Thanks very much to JENNY and JOY for participating!! From Jenny: Dancing with his Heart by Katherine Warwick - Dancing With His Heart brings independent Lauren Peay together with her old nemesis, Alex Saunders. Playboy, and philanthropist, Alex offers first class sponsorship to Lauren and her dance partner. Given their past, Lauren is suspicious. Without resources, the single mother of a child with autism is forced to take Alex's offer. His plan is to prove that he's changed and win her heart. But trust is not easily won and Lauren faces more trouble when a dark figure from their past shows up with devious intentions for them both. From Joy: A
Reason to Live by Maureen McKade - Wow what a good book. I usually
don't read the western type but my neighbor told me how good it
was. The author writes with compassion and love in a different way
than most romance authors. Her characters were believable and there
was snappy dialogue. I am a new fan of this writer. Have
you ever considered writing a novel? Think you don't have the time?
What if you didn't have to write one the size of Outlander
by Diana Gabaldon? Think you could maybe handle one the length
of say...Daring
Young Man by Leigh Ellwood? How about if you only had a month
to write it in? Got your interest? National Novel Writing Month
(aka NaNoWriMo or NaNo) happens in November. It can be extremely
interesting. The novel I currently have under consideration at Ellora's
Cave was my winning novel for NaNo 2004. Originator Chris Baty says:
As you spend November writing, you can draw comfort from the fact that,
all around the world, other National Novel Writing Month participants
are going through the same joys and sorrows of producing the Great
Frantic Novel. Wrimos meet throughout the month to offer encouragement,
commiseration, and -- when the thing is done -- the kind of raucous
celebrations that tend to frighten animals and small children. --
From the "What
is NaNoWriMo?" About page
NaNoWriMo also has a charitable arm. They fundraise every year.
First to cover the expenses of running NaNoWriMo. Secondly, every
penny over and above expenses goes to a yearly cause. The last few
years have gone to building libraries
in Southeast Asia. In 2004 it was Cambodia, in 2005, Laos. This
year's benefit country is Vietnam. Even if you don't participate
as a writer, consider participating as a donor.
