This week's guest author, ZOE ARCHER received a great review for the first of her "Blades of the Rose" romances, WARRIOR. Buried by Books gave it an A and wrote, "I love that this book is hard to pin down to a single subgenre. There's suspense. There's paranormal. There's history. Even some steampunkish elements. But all of it is woven with such subtle skill that no one element dominates any other. It's entirely new, yet borrows from an extensive film and literature lore—which only adds to the richness of the storytelling."
In addition, Zoe's second "Blades of the Rose," SCOUNDREL, is up for best cover over at Bitten By Books. Take a look and cast a vote if it strikes your fancy!***
MICHELLE STYLES is happy to announce that "HIS STAND-IN BRIDE" will be a Weekly Online Serial for e-Harlequin starting November 15 and running through January 3. It will be a free read! More details to come.
