Laura Drewry
"Hot, great with kids, and rides a bike. . .swoon!" � This is how one reviewer described Carter Scott in my brand new release, PRIMA DONNA. He's smart, sexy and funny, but he's also haunted by an event from his past, something he carries with him that affects every decision he makes. Regan is independent, strong and sassy, and has long since learned it's best to play things close to the chest. She doesn't talk about her problems, preferring instead to handle them on her own, and it's worked pretty well until Carter elbows his way into her life and bit by bit discovers what Regan's spent a lifetime trying to hide. I'm so excited to share Carter and Regan's story with you and hope you love reading it as much as I loved writing it.

Happy Holidays! We all know Christmas is coming. From this month (October), we only have 85 more shopping days until Santa comes down the chimney. In light of this, I'm proud to present a holiday novella titled, ONE CHRISTMAS NIGHT. Elizabeth Gregory's world fell apart one Christmas, and she never wants to see the man who caused it�her ex-fiance, James Hill.

Yet as the holiday season happily paints the streets in the nation's Capitol red and green, Elizabeth is standing on his doorstep. For her it's the worse time of the year. But James makes her a wager � one in which refusal is not an option. James found and lost of the love of his life, but providence brings back to him during the holiday season. This time he'll never let her go�even if he has to convince her he's what she wants. Can they find magic on this one Christmas night? Until next time, keep reading.

Carolyn Haines
In New Orleans, anything can happen. Harper Lee Award winning author Carolyn Haines, writing as R.B. Chesterton, explores the New Orleans of Marie Laveau in a short story, "THE HANGED MAN." The e-story is available in all formats. A story in the vein of Daphne du Maurier-"THE HANGED MAN" - It has been three years� Since Rachael Reynolds disappeared while vacationing in New Orleans. A bright and beautiful nine-year-old, the child vanished into a steamy August day, never to be seen again. When every lead came up a dead-end, Laura and Michael Reynolds finally returned to New York, where they threw themselves into their respective careers with the ferocity that only grief can inspire, and they have thrived. It has been three years� And Laura is ready to finish the healing process. She proposes a return to New Orleans. Michael is reluctant, but at last agrees. THE HANGED MAN is the story of that journey and the consequences of revisiting the past. At once chilling and compelling, it will stay in your mind for some time. Praise for THE DARKLING "A good storyteller - and R. B. Chesterton is quite a good storyteller - knows to lower her voice when she's talking about ghosts." (New York Times Book Review) THE DARKLING named Number 6 on the list of top ten best books of 2013 by www.bloodydisgusting.com. Praise for THE SEEKER - "Chesterton firmly reestablishes herself as a queen of darkness and suspense." (Southern Literary Review) "A sharp and edgy gothic thriller."

ALASKA - In America's last wilderness there are no limits to what a man can do! AGAINST THE WILD is the 10th book in my AGAINST SERIES, and the 1st of 3 books about the Brodie brothers of Alaska. Don't miss your chance to meet Dylan Brodie - rugged, tough and dangerous - and yes, unforgettable. AGAINST THE WILD is Dylan and Lane's story, set in remote Eagle Bay Alaska. When Lane and Dylan work to solve a ghostly mystery, they discover a legacy of injustice and murder. With danger stalking their every move, Dylan must risk everything to save Lane and his daughter and uncover the truth--before it's too late. "Romance and suspense are evenly matched in this powerful series launch from bestseller Martin. Intense mystery and sensual love scenes will lure readers into this novel and not let go until the final page is turned." Publishers Weekly "Kat Martin has a way of weaving a tale combining love and suspense that has the reader turning the pages, holding you captive until the end with surprises and twists and turns. She throws in a little bit of love, some hot erotic scenes and then an ending that has you wishing there was more to read." Kitty/Guilty-Pleasures

I'm giving away a brand new Kindle Fire HDX On Thursday, October 16...do you want it? Yep, it's a $229.00 value and someone reading this email is going to win it. Will it be you? You only have three days, October 14, 15, and 16. On Thursday, this offer will end.

What's surprising is that it doesn't take a million orders to become a best seller. By my estimation, if just 50 people buy my Kindle book (at just .99), it will probably top the list of action adventure books. Will you help me? I'm putting SECRETS IN THE SAND, a romantic suspense, on sale for only $.99. Do you already have a Kindle Fire? Not to worry. The holidays are coming. Use yours as a Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa present, or keep the new one and re-gift your older model. For only $.99, you get the opportunity to win a new e-reader valued at $229.00.

Mary Jo Putney
Mary Jo Putney is delighted that her September 2014 release, NOT QUITE A WIFE(Lost Lords #6), immediately hit #17 on the New York Times mass market bestseller list, as well as hitting the USAToday, Publishers Weekly, and Amazon bestsellers lists. This is the long awaited story of James, Lord Kirkland, a dangerous, enigmatic spymaster. To quote Library Journal, "Laurel Herbert gave James Kirkland her heart as an innocent girl--until she saw him perform an act of shocking violence. That night she left the husband who is far more than the fashionable lord he seems, and he let her go without a word of protest. Ten years later, a chance encounter turns passionate, with consequences that cannot be ignored. But as they try to rebuild what was broken, they must face common enemies and a very uncommon love.... Undeniable passion wars with clashing views on right and wrong in another memorable masterpiece from one of the genre's best. Gorgeously done." - Library Journal, Starred Review. Sadly, Mary Jo is so busy completing Lost Lords #7, NOT ALWAYS A SAINT, that she hasn't had time for a proper celebration. Maybe in October!

Deanna Raybourn
In NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STARS, New York Times bestselling author Deanna Raybourn returns with a 1920s tale of grand adventure! On the verge of a stilted life as an aristocrat's wife, Poppy Hammond does the only sensible thing-she flees the chapel in her wedding gown. Assisted by the handsome curate who calls himself Sebastian Cantrip, she spirits away to her estranged father's home, pursued by the family she left in uproar. But when the dust of her broken engagement settles and Sebastian disappears, Poppy discovers there is more to her hero than it seems. With only her feisty lady's maid for company, Poppy secures employment and travels incognita-east to Damascus, chasing a hunch and the whisper of clues. Danger abounds beneath the canopies of the silken city, and Poppy finds herself in the perilous sights of those who will stop at nothing to recover a fabled ancient treasure. Torn between allegiance to her kindly employer and a dashing, shadowy figure, Poppy will risk it all as she attempts to unravel a much larger plan-one that stretches to the very heart of the British government, and one that could endanger everything and everyone that she holds dear.

Francis Ray
UNTIL THERE WAS YOU (2008) October brings a crispness of leaves under your feet and a breeze that chills the air. I was never a fan of caramel apples; however a candied apple always made me smile and brings back early memories with my mother Francis Ray. I think I will treat myself to a candy apple this October in memory of my childhood years with my mom. In the book UNTIL THERE WAS YOU (November 2008), one of the all time fan favorite books written by Francis Ray, Ex-FBI agent Luke Grayson and Child Psychologist and Children's book author Dr. Catherine Steward, are two lost souls who meet in a secluded cabin in the woods. Strangers from different worlds who are both looking for the same thing. Peace and Quiet. Fighting the desire between them, the couple's growing loving relationship finds common ground developing in their dedication to helping others. Like the characters in UNTIL THERE WAS YOU, Francis Ray was devoted to helping others. Please consider donating to The Turning Point Legal Defense Fund c/o The Family Place, P.O. Box 7999, Dallas, Texas 75209. A fund my mother started to assist women of domestic violence to help restructure their lives. Thanks, Michelle Ray

Sandra Worth
The discovery of King Richard III's body after being lost for nearly six hundred years continues to dominate as a news item. What was he really like? Was he the villain - or the hunchback - Shakespeare claimed? Did he murder the little princes in the Tower? Did he really poison his wife to have an affair with his niece? Stripped of its Tudor wrapping, the myths are at last giving way to the truth and what seems to surprise readers most is how fascinating and incredible his story is. Even though he reigned so long ago, Richard's modern connection to us in our own time is stunning, and so is his love affair with Lady Anne Neville, the traitor's daughter he made his queen. Here, perhaps, we find the Bard's inspiration for his play, Romeo and Juliet. Sandra Worth spent ten years researching the period and another ten years writing her six prize-winning books on Richard III and the Wars of the Roses. For those interested in the period Philippa Gregory recently made popular, pick up a copy of The Rose of York trilogy or any of Sandra's other novels, now available in German, Czech, Portuguese and Spanish, and read about this fascinating young king and his turbulent time. For more information about the books or to enter her monthly contest and win a copy of a book, visit Sandra at www.sandraworth.com (click on 'Extras" for the contest).
