Murder @ Play - With Yvonne Eve Walus

In the new free South Africa of 1994, men are still boss, women carry handguns for self-protection, and some mistakes can change your life forever.

When a body is found during their weekend away with friends, Christine Chamberlain must use her brilliant mathematical mind to prove her husband's innocence...
... whether he's innocent or not.

When it comes to your loved ones, is it possible to know too much?

BH: What or who most influenced your writing?

Yvonne: Agatha Christie. She made her books work because of the clever puzzles, and I admire her for that. I don't subscibe to the current trend for violence and gore in murder mysteries.

BH: What is the one thing you want readers to know about your book(s) and/or writing?

Yvonne: My "Murder @ ..." series will transport you to a South Africa that's truly gone with the wind, to a time where men were men and women were decorations... or were they?

BH: Just who is Yvonne Eve Walus?

Yvonne: You won't believe this, but when I'm not a novelist I'm actually a Doctor of Mathematics. A wife and a mother. Most of all though - I am a writer (in several languages) and I will sell my soul for money.

Professional stuff: I'm a full member of Crime Writers' Association (CWA). I also belong to Romance Writers of New Zealand (RWNZ).

Buy! Murder @ Play

BH: What is your next project, and when can we expect it?

Yvonne: Look for the next "Murder @ ..." mystery in the series, coming out in 2011!

Author Anne Carter - Point Surrender

“Truly a wonderful read… ghosts… mystery… a heart touching story and one with an ending that will surprise… kept me hooked to the very last page.” — Coffee Time Romance Reviews

I'd been on the hunt for a great summer read and I found it! All the elements I love; the California coast, the ocean, lighthouses, romance and mystery. What more is there?

Anne Carter's Point Surrender has it all. Amy Winslow has reached, just about, the lowest point in her life and is running from seemingly insurmountable problems. Enter, Case McKenna. Just his name gets the blood boiling! They share the strange sighting of a mystery man falling from a bluff near the lighthouse, along with a desire to bury unhappy events in their lives.

While trying to escape her own demons and uncover clues about the death of a former lighthouse keeper, Amy unwittingly reveals aspects of Case's life that he had long suppressed. Will this drive them apart? Or bring them closer?

You can find the answer in this beautifully written story by author, Anne Carter. Look for follow-up, Cape Seduction, coming this fall from Echelon Press.

Dark Shines My Love - Alexis Hart

Review Quotes:

"A moving novel...the love scenes are marvelous. This is an enjoyable story that will make you laugh, cry, and be glad you read it." –Romantic Times Magazine

"A beautiful, moving story. Alexis Hart has the amazing ability to generate characters that literally step off the page in three-dimensional form. The dialogue is well developed and the entire story is a hauntingly accurate tale concerning a serious issue. I loved Patric from the first moment he appeared and Callie was as real as if I were standing next to her. Well done. Ms. Hart has written another winner." –Leslie Burbank, author of To Tame a Viking

Blurb:

Darkness surrounds Patric LeClerc. Blinded in a tragic accident years before, he does nothing but drive everyone away with his anger and resentment over the life he's been cursed with.

Everyone, that is, except Callie Carpenter. Desperate for a home and a job after the break-up of her dreadful marriage to a wealthy but abusive man, she tries to restore Dark Gardens Plantation to its former glory.

Patric lets his guard down and shows her that deep within, a spark of warmth and humanity still glows. Soon she finds herself more interested in him as a man than a patient. When her ex threatens to take away her son, Callie and Patric join forces to try to save the boy.

But can Patric's dark past ever allow him to see Callie's love for him, or will he drive her away as well, for having come too close to the true, if vulnerable, Patric LeClerc?

Tween series! Cynthia's Attic...

"Cynthia had an attic. Not just an ordinary attic. Cynthia's attic was magic.

Cynthia and I came into the world just three months apart. We grew up on the same quiet, sycamore-lined street, our friendship as close as our houses. Fifty years earlier, our grandmothers were best friends. However, we didn't realize the extent of their friendship until after our experience in Cynthia's attic. This is the story of one of our great adventures...the way I remember it."

What Choice Heather Ingemar?

"Gothic fiction for Today."

Fictionwise Bestselling Author.

Stories available in eBook format.

"Prophet's Choice":

Lyra is a girl caught in the middle. The demon warlord, the Scourge, has lain siege to the capital city of Zaanefra with his multitude of inhuman henchmen. The citizens of Zaanefra are outnumbered beyond imagination, but the King and his advisor, Loremaster Arken, are convinced they’ve got a weapon to turn the tide: her. Lyra has the legendary gift of Sight, a thing attributed only to the powerful Prophets of old, men and women who wielded the Silver Scepter of Truth to maintain and protect balance in the land. But Lyra’s gift weakens her with every use, and she’s already lost an awful lot to this war; her family, her friends, and her home were destroyed by the Scourge on his march of conquest. Is she about to lose herself too?

"Heather, what is the one thing you want your readers to know about your book and/or writing?"

I do it because I love putting words together, learning about the characters who shake me out of whatever I'm doing, yelling "tell my story!" No other reason.

"What is your next project and when can we expect to read it?"

I just had a story appear in "StereoOpticon: Fairy Tales in Split Vision," and I've got a couple more coming out in "Things That Go Bump In the Night," both from Drollerie Press

"The Adventures of Guy" & Norm Cowie

"Vampires have grown long in the tooth of late...until I read NormCowie's FANG FACE. Hilarious, lightning-paced, and as sharp about highschool life as a bite to the throat, I loved this book, fangs and all."--James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of Jake Ransom and the SkullKing's Shadow

"LOL funny!" Publisher's Weekly

"Humorous fantasy at its best..." Armchair Interviews

Norm Cowie has two published fantasy/humor books, The Adventures of Guy … written by a guy (probably) and the Preditors & Editor‟s Reader‟s Choice winner for best Sci-Fi Fantasy, The Next Adventures of Guy … more wackiness. In addition, his short stories appear in the Echelon Press Publishing anthologies Heat of the Moment and Missing. Fang Face, a Young Adult humor/vampire book will be coming out in August 2009.
