Welcome to this week's good news....



REVIEWS


Shona Husk
How to Breath Fire was a feature book over on the ARRA site. Here's a snippet of the review:

"Shona Husk creates a simplistic journey in the traditions of fantasy genre mixed with a traditional love story. This short story is sweet and captures the heroine’s strength in her belief of love. I found this story engaging and easy to read whilst maintaining the status quo of romance. It is a nice story; one to read when not wanting to get overly involved with characters or plot development. Quick, happy and leaves the reader with a smile that love eventually triumphs—just as it should!"






Mel Teshco
Something Wicked This Way Comes was given a great review by  USA Today. Here is a snippet about Mel's contribution, Dragon Heat.


"Tesho weaves an intriguing subplot of manipulation and betrayal into this short story, which I felt was extremely well-crafted. Grace and Benson must flee for their lives from a skilled, highly trained enemy who is bent on their capture for nefarious purposes. Readers can expect plenty of action sequences, a very seductive dragon shifter and hot love scenes."
