A Little Light Magic by Joy Nash
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!

MYSTERY & ROMANTIC SUSPENSE AUTHORS
MICHELE SCOTT TACKED TO DEATH is all about the world of polo, big money, murder and of course a little romance. Michaela Bancroft has her hands full with opening a new tack shop with her best friend Camden, a charity polo match to ride in, and then the murder of polo equestrian Sterling Taber. It just so happens that Michaela’s fingerprints all over the murder weapon. With her boyfriend Detective Jude Davis away, Michaela needs all the help she can get to clear her name. Her pal Joe Pellegrino is there for her, along with her veterinarian Ethan Slater—the same veterinarian she fights feelings over and who is married to her nemesis. With Michaela in trouble not only with the law but also with her heart where Ethan and Jude are concerned, she’s in for a wild ride. Things get even wilder when the killer decides she should be the next victim.
Bestselling authors and North Carolina journalists Joyce and
Jim Lavene are pleased to announce the fourth book in the
Peggy Lee Garden Mysteries from Berkley Prime Crime,
PERFECT POISON. Each book in the series,
(PRETTY POISON, FRUIT OF THE POISONED TREE and POISONED
PETALS) has been a national bestseller, a Barnes and Noble
top-pick, and has gone into multiple printings. Joyce also
writes a syndicated garden column each week for local
newspapers. The Lavenes are Master Gardeners and have worked
with botanists in their state to save endangered
wildflowers. The stories feature Dr. Peggy Lee, homicide
detective's widow and contract forensic botanist for the
Mecklenburg County Police who also runs a garden shop, the
Potting Shed in Center City Charlotte. Peggy uses her
knowledge of plants, especially poisonous plants, to help
solve murder cases.
Tough-as-nails Bureau of American Defense agent Hunter Thornton-Payne is no stranger to uncomfortable top-secret missions. Tonight he’s enduring a stuffy charity fundraiser--just long enough to find the ruthless assassin he’s hunted for years. It’s a rogue operation, but Hunter’s got nothing to lose—until a beautiful brunette pulls him into her own dangerous agenda. Abbie Blanton will do anything to find out why her healthy mother has become critically ill. When a high-profile heiress is shot as Abbie tries to blackmail her for the truth behind her mother’s illness, Abbie realizes she’s stumbled into an unforgiving conspiracy—and she’s the next target. She and Hunter are at opposing goals as they battle against a deadly secret organization. Someone will die before it’s all over. Survival comes down to choice. Her salvation or his redemption? Only one can win and the assassin holds the best odds. ISBN 9781416597452 Pocket - April 20, 2010
NON-FICTION AUTHORS
I'm pleased to report that two of my movie
reviews (for Secret Window and Finding
Neverland) are quoted in a biography of
Johnny Depp by Michael Blitz and Louise
Krasniewicz. Betty Jo Tucker
We are very happy that
our little romantic memoir, IT HAD TO BE US, received
a nomination in The Romance Studio's fourth annual CUPID AND
PSYCHE AWARDS program. The CAPA awards are given for excellence in
romantic fiction, and although our TRC E-book does not qualify as
"fiction," it was nominated for a Psyche Award, a
category for romances that do not meet the nomination criteria but
deserve special recognition. Now we know what people mean when they say
"It's an honor to be nominated!" Congratulations to Joy Nash for her Psyche
win this year. Remember, dear readers, you can order a free copy of IT HAD TO BE US, which previously won first place in the E-Book category at the Hollywood Book Festival, by making a donation of any amount to the IMAGINATION LIBRARY at this link:: http://www.theromanceclub.com/imagination/default.htm.
Happy Romance Reading! Harry and Elizabeth
