Hi all, I found out late last night that "Twice Upon an Eventide" is a DRA (Dream Realm) 2008 finalist in the Anthology category.

I'm feeling rather overwhelmed yet very happy! This little duet, which has failed to garner many reviews has been very well received in competition, and for that, I am very thankful.

Anyway, that's the news! Fingers crossed Shannah and I do well in the next stage!

I've turned in my Fairy Chapter for the upcoming Paranormal Writing Guide to be published by Dragon Moon Press and received word that WolfSinger Publications will be publishing my short story PROMISES in A TIME TO … Volume 3 - The Best of The Lorelei Signal 2008.

I don't have the release dates yet, but I will post them here as soon as I know!

Thanks!

Rachel Smith from Bitten by Books has just reviewed my book, Omnibus. It was a great way to greet the morning. For those who might be interested, here's the link.

In celebration of the grand opening of the new Books We Love Reader's group at Yahoo, we're inviting you to get acquainted with some of our BWL authors by participating in a fun scavenger hunt. We promise it isn't hard. You just need to join the group and then follow the provided links listed on the loop the morning of March 20th, answer some really easy questions, send them to Ginger and wait to see if you've won. The answers are all hiding in plain site at the various websites…you just have to find and collect them all to be entered into a drawing for one of eighteen books. Some will even be personally autographed. You'll have two days to hunt. The contest ends Saturday at midnight.

All entries must be received by Ginger Simpson at mizging@gmail.com by noon on Sunday, March 22, 2009. Winners will be announced shortly thereafter.       

Whether you come to play or not, we hope you will join us in celebrating the beginning of what we hope will be a stimulating and pleasant group experience. If you aren't familiar with us, please visit http://www.bookswelove.net to get an idea of who we are and what we're about.

I'm sure you may have already played in a contest or two there. If not, maybe you'd like to enter one while you're there.

Come join us on the BWL Reader's group and help us welcome in Spring!

Blurb:

Award-winning  fantasy authors Shannah Biondine and Sheri L.
McGathy team up again,  delivering twice the mystical adventure
in this enthralling duet, Twice  Upon an Eventide. Here are
faraway worlds of danger and intrigue, where  dark mirrors hold
strange and dark secrets.

A Varlet's  Bond

Captain Praxis, wyvern rider, former slave turned royal reeve  and
bounty hunter, has never forgotten her brief partnership with
Prince  Zavend of Glacia. Years have passed and now find Praxis
a wealthy woman and  sometime comrade of Zavend's
disreputable brother, Vitus. A twist of fate  draws all three back to
the heart of Glacia, where an evil is spreading  across the land.

Can anyone or any sworn oath be trusted? Will Praxis  find her
heart soaring higher than a wyvern or crushed once and for  all?

Summersong

Summersong, a magical border Keep created to  maintain the
fragile peace between Man and Faery, has lost its glory,  its
grandeur, and its loyal guardians. The land is dark, filled  with
turmoil. Yet, one bright glimmer of hope still exists. Long  ago,
Myree, daughter of a proud nobleman, made a childish vow of
undying  love in a secluded garden to an equally as young
Connair. Now grown, both  have not forgotten their pledges.

When Myree is abducted into a realm  of shadows, Connair risks
everything in his quest to save her and recover  the heart of
Summersong.

Twice Upon an Eventide contains two  superbly woven fantasy
tales of magic, intrigue, and suspense. If you  haven't read
Biondine and McGathy before, this book is an excellent place  to
start! Very enjoyable and highly recommended! ~ Jeanne Allen,
author  of Orphilion Dreams
