PERFECT TIMING Released!

Barbara Elsborg's debut Romantica (R) novel, PERFECT TIMING, was released this morning on Ellora's Cave. Barbara has incredible talent with humor. The excerpt is hilarious. Take a peak:

NOTE: You should be over 18 to visit this site, although I don't think anything in this snippet would warrant more than a PG rating.

Enjoy! And Congratulations, Barbara!

Until then, we're having a little Countdown Fest over on one of my other blogs, Take It To The Stars, where Barbara is a co-blogger. I may be a bit quiet there, but please feel free to join us there.

Oh yes, and don't forget the release of Lisa Shearin's ARMED & MAGICAL on April 29th. ARMED & MAGICAL, the second book of the Raine Benares Fantasy Series has received a 4-1/2 STAR RATING (the highest) from Romantic Times! In addition, the first book of her series, MAGIC LOST, TROUBLE FOUND has just been nominated for a Compton Crook Award as best debut novel of the year by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society!

New Book Releases in April

April is shaping up as a very special month. It's spring, the weather's getting warmer...and there are two fantastic books coming out soon.

Life is good!


First on April 29th, Lisa Shearin's ARMED & MAGICAL is released. This high-octane Fantasy romp is one you won't want to miss. See my former review for details.

You can pre-order ARMED & MAGICAL on Amazon, but if you haven't yet read the first book in the series, MAGIC LOST, TROUBLE FOUND I suggest you get them both for an amazing back-to-back read.


The following day, April 30th, my Take it to the Stars co-blogger and IP (Indispensible Peer) Barbara Elsborg's debut novel, PERFECT TIMING, is released by Ellora's Cave. As an avid reader of many of Barbara's novels, including this one, I can tell you she has a rare talent for writing both laugh-out-loud humor and very steamy love scenes.

And here's a link to an interview with Barbara on EC's e-magazine, LadyJaided: http://www.ladyjaided.com/authors.html

We'll be counting down the days, hours, minutes (seconds?) until PERFECT TIMING is released on http://www.takeittothestars.blogspot.com/
