The Romance Bookmark is back and tonight we have Marlow Kelly on the show for a dose of our unscripted and highly unprofessional brand of author chatting.  Let's face it, the less I prepare, the better it turns out! But please take a peek at www.marlowkelly.com and discover Marlow Kelly's historical romances with a touch of suspense, along with all the fun that goes with her blog, her recipes and the madness of being the mother of two while trying to get anything done! (I'm hoping she'll spill some secrets on that front!)

Love, laughter, and books are always where we make our mark at The Romance Bookmark and tonight, we're tucking out toes into a steamier chapter with the one and only Kendall Grey! Kendall writes erotic romance and urban fantasy romance and for those of you who enjoy a scorching ride with zero chance of safety harnesses, I think Ms. Grey is Your Girl!  www.kendallgrey.com  Kendall is a fearlessly talented writer and there is just nothing reserved about her stories, her characters and her imagination!  I feel like a turtle sitting next to a greyhound about to ask how the wind feels when it's blowing past you...but I'm thrilled to cheer her on to victory even if I am a little jealous ;-

I'll sit down with #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, P.C. Cast on Thursday, April 9th @6:00pm EST about her latest novel, Redeemed, Book 12 in the House of Night Novels. This spellbinding new book series follows fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird as she enters the mysterious House of Night school, gains astonishing powers and searches for eternal love. Redeemed is the final electrifying installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling vampyre series by PC and Kristin Cast.

Book Blurb:

Zoey Redbird is in trouble. Having released the Seer Stone to Aphrodite, and surrendered herself to the Tulsa Police, she has isolated herself from her friends and mentors, determined to face the punishment she deserves--even if that means her body will reject the change, and begin to die. Only the love of those closest to her can save her from the Darkness in her spirit; but a terrible evil has emerged from the shadows, more powerful than ever…

Neferet has finally made herself known to mortals. Crowning herself a Dark Goddess, she is evil unleashed and is enslaving the citizens of Tulsa. The vampyres of the House of Night have banded with the police, and are gathering every last resource they have, but they know that no single vampyre is strong enough to vanquish her--unless that vampyre has the power to summon the elements as well as the ability to wield Old Magick. Only Zoey is heir to such power…but because of the consequences of using Old Magick, she is unable to help. 

In the final novel in the House of Night series, an epic battle of Light versus Darkness will decide who is redeemed…and who is forever lost.

Reader's Entertainment Radio welcomes NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Heather Graham to the show on Thursday, March 26th at 6pm EST!  With over one hundred and fifty books and novellas to her credit, her latest novel, The Dead Play On, continues the tradition of excellence for which Heather Graham is well known!

Book Blurb:

Play a song for me…  

Musicians are being murdered in New Orleans. But Arnie Watson apparently died by his own hand. When Tyler Anderson plays the saxophone he inherited from Arnie, a soldier and musician who died soon after his return, he believes he sees visions of his friend's life—and death. He becomes convinced Arnie was murdered and that the instrument had something to do with whatever happened, and with whatever's happening all over the city… 

Tyler knows his theory sounds crazy to the police, so he approaches Danni Cafferty, hoping she and Michael Quinn will find out what the cops couldn't. Or wouldn't. After all, Cafferty and Quinn have become famous for solving unusual crimes. 

They're partners in their personal lives, too. Quinn's a private investigator and Danni works with him. When they look into the case, they discover a secret lover of Arnie's and a history of jealousies and old hatreds that leads them back to the band Arnie once played with—and Tyler plays with now. 

They discover that sometimes, for some people, the line between passion and obsession is hard to draw. Only in uncovering the truth can they hope to save others—and themselves—from the deadly hands of a killer.

Life, love, laughter and best of all--BOOKS!

You won't want to miss my show Thursday, March 19th at 6pm EST! In Faith Network Radio Show will have a very special guest, and musical favorite of mine, Plumb! A songwriter, recording artist, performer, Plumb aka Tiffany Lee, now adds author to her already impressive repertoire. She joins me to discuss her new novel, Need You Now: A Story of Hope.

 

Book Blurb:

NEED YOU NOW: A Story of Hope is the deeply personal, incredibly honest, and hugely encouraging new book by recording artist, songwriter, and performer PLUMB aka Tiffany Lee. Equal parts revealing memoir and inspirational literature, each chapter reveals a day in the life of a rock star, inviting you into Plumb's personal journey of embracing her life's passion of music and her very real, all-encompassing love for her family and community. Both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving, Need You Now is the story of beautiful and embarrassing moments on stage, the joys and trials of motherhood and unbridled forgiveness. It is the story of soul mates, best friends and a marriage redeemed. And more than anything, Need You Now is the story of love, fresh starts and the relentless message that no matter who you are or what you have done...there is always HOPE.
