Good News Day!


Welcome to this week's Good News...


COVERS

Annie Seaton
Winter Of The Passion Flower has a cover. It's Annie's first one and it's stunning. Congrats!
It's due for release March 2012 from Lyrical Press.






REVIEWS

Jess Anastasi
Severance was reviewed by Heather K at ARRA. Here's a snippet:

"As a reader, I did wonder where the threads would take me but they were nicely tied together and solved many of the questions brought up between the couples. There isn’t much world building, but there is enough detail to know that it is a different world and these characters react to the situations as only they can in the circumstances. This is a relatively short story for an afternoon’s pleasure."






Mel Teshco
Identity Shift got a 5 star review from our own Jenny Schwartz.


"I love shifters and paranormal romance. This great little novella was at the hot end of the spectrum when it came to sexy books I'm comfortable reading...which is not a bad thing ;)
Most of all I enjoyed the intriguing use of the black big cat sightings in Australia. Cryptozoology is fascinating and this twist used it well."





SALES

Eleni Konstantine
The fantasy short story, Stormy Divide, has been sold to Musa Publishing's Urania Line.

Mel Teshco
The Something Wicked This Way Comes anthology has a tentative release date of 23 December. Dragon Heat which is part of the anthology now has a blurb:

A highly skilled operative, Grace has been trained to track, fight and kill paranormal creatures. Only after she’s in the clutches of her latest target, a devastatingly sexy dragon-shifter, does she discover betrayal in her ranks. Suddenly the hunter is the hunted. Grace will soon learn of her ex-agency’s horrific agenda—but not before seeking solace in all the pleasures of the flesh her new dragon ally has to offer.

  1. Thanks for the news, Eleni.

    I followed the link to Conflux8 and had to hunt around to see what it was. (I'm out of the loop as far as SF goes.) The conference seems very well priced. It'll be interesting to see what line-up they offer.
