THE DADDY PLAN, by Karen Rose Smith, Silhouette Special Edition, Karen Rose Smith's Dads in Progress series (Book 2), June 2008, ISBN0-373-24908-4:

She had her baby plans all mapped out...

Sam Barclay would father her child, and Corrie Edwards would get the baby she always wanted. It sounded like a good plan...until sperm donor Sam decided he wanted to be the daddy fate had once denied him.

It was supposed to be strictly a business arrangement. Romance wasn't on Corrie's radar.

But the closer they came to conception, the more Sam wanted to make things personal. Could he convince Corrie that, together, they had what it took to create the home and family they both craved?

JOY NASH

Dear Reader:

Did you ever wonder who forged the sword Excalibur? Or how the Holy Grail came to be associated with Arthur, King of the Britons? Or whether the Druid isle of Avalon was a real place? I did. My passion for Arthurian legend and Celtic lore - inspired me to create my historical fantasy Druids of Avalon series.

Who are the Druids of Avalon? A clan of Celtic shamans forced to abandon their home when Roman invaders declared the practice of Druidry illegal. Two generations later, a handful of survivors, along with their children and grandchildren, return to Avalon amid secrecy to begin the dangerous task of reclaiming their lost power.

The series begins with The Grail King and continues with Deep Magic. And now, at www.joynash.com you can read the "Story Before the Story" - Druids of Avalon: The Legend.

I hope you enjoy it!

MARILYN SMITH-PORTER

Are you looking for something different, that will hold your interest and take you back to a different time?

Marilyn Smith-Porter's book, LAST KISS, will do just that.

LAST KISS is based, literally, on a song that was first released in 1964 and then re-mixed in 1999, and became a hit all over again for a new generation. Oh where, oh where, can my baby be. . . .

LAST KISS is a love story, told through the eyes of a young man who has lost the only love of his short life in a fiery car crash. What makes the young man's story even more tragic, is that the young girl died without knowing how he felt - our young hero had the misfortune to be in love with his best friend's girl. How he copes with her death, the overwhelming sense of loss, his relationship with his best friend and the new girl who comes into both their lives, is only the beginning of the story that will touch your heart as deeply as those immortal song lyrics touched your soul.

Purchase LAST KISS from Marilyn and get your book autographed, AND receive a 40% discount!

Harmony, a vintage dress shop owner and a psychometric witch, reads old objects and brings peace wherever she goes. She believes going to the castle is her psychic mandate.

She can look for vintage clothes while he gets the castle restored in peace.

King is Harmony’s psychic pot of gold. Because the castle is his, she can read him. She feels their mutual attraction, sees his every fantasy, but he’s fighting his inclinations. While she battles a witchy ghost, she acts out King’s fantasies, until they’re acting them out and fighting the ghost together. . . in and out of bed. In the final magical battle, will Harmony win King his castle, or is the ghost stronger than the power of love?

DAWN CALVERT

In His and Hers, Jane Ellingson leaves the 21st century to step into the pages of a romance novel being written in Victorian England. Try as she might, Jane has trouble being the author's obedient heroine. The problem? She's fallen for the author's "villain," Curran Dempsey, who really isn't a villain, after all...

Arguing with the one who holds the pen can have its consequences, though. If these characters cause too much trouble for the author, their happily-ever-after, and indeed their very existence, could be tossed straight into the fire.
