Dear Author: Romance Book Reviews, Author Interviews, and Commentary

Other than Cynthia Eden’s story about the psychologist to the paranormal, my interest in the following books are fairly low:

Michelle Willingham’s THE WARRIOR’S TOUCH and HER WILD IRISH ROGUE, the next two MacEgan brothers’ medieval historical romances, again to Joanne Carr at Harlequin Mills & Boon, by Carolyn Grayson at Ashley Grayson Literary Agency.
Kimberly Stuart’s CANNON FALLS, The story of a down-on-her-luck opera diva who takes a teaching position at a midwest college, to Andrea Christian at Cook Communications, in a nice deal, in a three-book deal, by Chip MacGregor at MacGregor Literary.
Cynthia Eden’s TOUCHING THE DARKNESS, a psychologist whose patients are all supernatural creatures — lovelorn succubi, vampires with blood phobias and the occasional shifter with commitment issues — is pulled into a brutal murder investigation as a profiler, to Kate Duffy and Megan Records at Kensington Brava, in a nice deal, by Laura Bradford at Bradford Literary Agency (World).
Rita Herron’s DARK LORDS series, bringing three estranged brothers, anti-heroes, who must battle their own inner evil side, together to form a paranormal crime unit and fight demonic crimes, to Michelle Bidelspach at Grand …

Tiffany Baker’s THE LITTLE GIANT OF ABERDEEN COUNTY, pitched as Wally Lamb meets Elizabeth McCracken, about a girl who grows physically and emotionally beyond her small town’s wildest expectations, to Caryn Karmatz Rudy at Warner, in a significant deal, in a pre-empt, by Daniel Lazar at Writers House (world).

Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson’s HARTMOOR, a historical novel written with novelist Laura Van Wormer, to Sally Richardson and Hope Dellon at St. Martin’s, for publication in winter 2008, by Peter Sawyer of the Fifi Oscard Agency and Loretta Barrett (world).
