Eternal Moon

Eternal MoonETERNAL MOON
by Rebecca York

ISBN-13: 9780425227008

In ETERNAL MOON Rebecca York creates a classic clash between good and evil–with a werewolf twist.

Renata Cordona is the reincarnation of an ancient goddess. She and her lover have met again and again down through the ages–only to be destroyed by a demon bent on conquering the world. In her twenty-first century incarnation, Renata is a private detective.

As the book opens, Renata is on an undercover assignment to catch a serial killer who has been murdering female real estate agents, when she’s almost attacked by a pack of vicious dogs. They are chased off by a lone wolf who swiftly disappears. Then, out of nowhere, werewolf Jacob Marshall materializes, and his electrifying touch brings out all the sexual longings she’s repressed because everyone she has ever loved has died a horrible death. Is Jacob the key to breaking the ancient curse that hangs over them? Or will the evil stalking them down through the ages destroy them both–this time for all eternity?

ABOUT REBECCA YORK

USA Today best-selling novelist, Rebecca York (aka Ruth Glick) is the author of over one hundred books. She has authored or co-authored more than 50 romantic suspense novels and 20 romances. But she never thought she could become a writer because her horrible spelling earned her poor marks in English classes in high school. She married well–to a man who can spot a misspelled word from fifty paces. He proofreads all her manuscripts to make sure there are no typos or spellos.

Rebecca’s KILLING MOON was a launch book for Berkley’s new Sensation romance imprint in June 2003. EDGE OF THE MOON and WITCHING MOON followed. Her first Berkley novella was in CRAVINGS, with Laurell K. Hamilton. CRIMSON MOON, published in January 2005, was her 100th book. The eighth book in her Moon series, ETERNAL MOON, is out from Berkley in April 2009. For many years, she has also written Harlequin Intrigue’s very popular 43 Light Street series. Her next is MORE THAN A MAN, August 2009.

Her many awards include two RITA finalist books, two Lifetime Achievement Awards from Romantic Times, five NJRW Golden Leaf Awards and a Prism Award. Her Intrigue, NOWHERE MAN, was named by Affaire de Coeur as the best Contemporary Novel of 1998. THE SECRET NIGHT was Romantic Times’ Best Intrigue of 2006.

REVIEW

“In a new twist on her long-running paranormal Moon series, York adds in an ancient battle between the powers of good and evil. As always, York delivers engaging plots with dynamic characters. Definitely one of the genre’s best!”
—Jill Smith, Romantic Times

True Romance

Something new to check out! I love Sue Grimshaw. She rocks in so many ways, not the least of which is that she’s a powerful advocate for the romance genre. :)

‘Borders True Romance with Sue Grimshaw’ Debuts on Borders.com

Avid romance readers hungry to learn all they can about their favorite authors should look no further than “Borders True Romance,” the new exclusive video program on Borders.com. Hosted by Borders’ Romance Buyer Sue Grimshaw, the program is debuting at www.bordersmedia.com/trueromance with an exciting interview with New York Times bestselling and Kensington Publishing author Lisa Jackson. During the interview, Jackson dishes on “Malice,” her upcoming hardcover sequel to “Lost Souls” that is due in stores March 31. Packed with twists and turns – the hallmarks of a great suspense story – and a captivating romance, “Malice” will appeal to mystery/thriller readers, book clubs and, of course, Jackson’s many enthusiastic fans.

The 11-minute “Borders True Romance” episode kicks off a series of interviews with some of romance’s biggest names, including Lisa Kleypas and Sherrilyn Kenyon. In the in-depth interviews, authors not only cover their upcoming books, but they reveal insights about themselves – how they started writing, which books they couldn’t put down and what really makes them tick. In this episode, Lisa Jackson shares personal stories about what it was like writing “Wicked Game” with her sister, Nancy Bush, and the excitement she’s feeling as she puts the finishing touches on “Chosen to Die,” the sequel to fan-favorite “Left to Die,” due out in August.

As part of “Borders True Romance,” the retailer will also produce shorter segments featuring Grimshaw discussing hot new releases and sharing some of her personal favorites with viewers. “Borders True Romance” is just one of many compelling shows Borders.com offers customers as part of its Borders Media video programming, which also includes “Borders Book Club,” “Borders Live at 01” and “Borders Kitchen.”

Grimshaw, who joined Borders Group in 1995, has been the retailer’s romance buyer for the past eight years and has emerged as a sought-after expert in her field. In 2008, she received the prestigious Vivian Stephens Industry Award from the Romance Writers of America (RWA). This award recognizes a professional in the romance-publishing industry who is not a writer, and whose accumulated body of work has contributed to the genre in a significant and continuing manner. Grimshaw is highly active in sharing her knowledge of the romance genre with others – she has spoken to thousands of romance writers and others over the years, holding workshops and giving her advice. Each year, she participates in several meetings and conferences, and she frequently consults with publishers on issues such as cover design and which titles will sell the best.

Grimshaw has been a guest blogger, appeared on a Bravo TV documentary and has served as a judge for various writing competitions. In addition to the 2008 RWA Industry Award, Grimshaw has received other honors, including becoming an honorary member in 2007 of the Harpers Ferry RWA chapter – only one of two individuals to receive such a distinction. In addition, she has received the 2005 and 2008 Colorado RWA Bookseller of the Year Award, the 2008 Helping Hand Industry Award from the Orange County Chapter of RWA and the Romance Times Book Club Appreciation Award in 2005, among others.

In a race against life and death, one woman holds the key to sanity and salvation.

After escaping from the Otherworld Crime Unit, Kellen Falcon came to Nouveau Monde to crack a rare blood disease.

I’m over at…

Murder She Writes today.

Saturday, March 7th, 2009
Saturday Afternoon

How is everyone?

I’ve been busy reading (yay!), mentally plotting, writing, wrapping up my promotional stuff, and basically trying to get caught up on everything that was pushed aside in deadline craziness.

Me and the other Allure Authors are hosting an awesome party at this year’s RT Convention. Bottles and bottles and bottles of Sangria, plus free books, and great prizes like a new iPod and gift certificates. I can’t wait to get to Orlando! Before then, though, I’m taking my kids to Disneyland on Wednesday. They’re doing that free admission on your birthday deal, and since my son and I share a birthday, that’s two of us in for free. *g*

The following week, I’m taking off with some girlfriends for a couple days away. Will be nice to decompress after the craziness of the last year+. I’m looking forward to it.

I confess, I’m a bit stumped about how to get the word out about IN THE FLESH. That’s bothering me and I’m not sure what to do about it…

But overall, life is good. I wish the last book on my plate was done already. That’s the only thing really stressing me out at the moment. But I’ll get it done and it will be as great as I can possibly make it. :)

What’s up in your corner of the world?

Publishers Weekly

I just saw the PW review for EVE OF DARKNESS and I’m so thrilled with it! I wrote the partial of the MARKED series back in Summer 2006 and now it’s finally almost here. I’m giddy with excitement. :grin:

Eve of Darkness S.J. Day. Tor, $6.99 (368p) ISBN 978-0-7653-6041-0

Exhilarating adventure in an edgy world of angels and demons highlights the opener of Day’s Marked trilogy. After a steamy encounter in a stairwell, Evangeline Hollis discovers that she has been branded with the Mark of Cain, unfairly punished because of a man’s attraction to her. She is now a Mark: a celestial bounty hunter charged with sending rogue demons and other Infernals back to hell. Agnostic Eve feels trapped and wants to leave “the firm,” but that requires the aid of the most famous brothers in history: Alec Cain, God’s top Mark and Eve’s former lover, and Reed Abel, who assigns her bounties. Dynamic and vibrant, Eve is an impressive protagonist, and her fierce spirit and determination to make the best of her circumstances will keep readers enthralled. (May) — Publisher’s Weekly

Angel’s Blood

Angel's BloodANGELS’ BLOOD
A Guild Hunter Novel

by Nalini Singh

Berkely Sensation
March 3, 2009

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh introduces a world of beauty and bloodlust, where angels hold sway over vampires…

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she’s the best—but she doesn’t know if she’s good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, only one thing is clear—failure is not an option…even if the task is impossible.

Because this time, it’s not a wayward vamp she has to track. It’s an archangel gone bad.

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other…and pull her to the razor’s edge of passion. Even if the hunt doesn’t destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals break…
