A message from Gerri Hill:
Gerri is launching a blog from her website (http://www.gerrihill.com/blog) and is offering readers a chance to format it and to offer suggestions for content.
"After many subtle suggestions from readers, and finally a push from my publisher, I've decided to join the Land of The Blog. Which, for my friend Judy, no, it's not a sci-fi movie! But what to blog about? You don't want to read about writing all the time and I certainly don't want to write about writing all the time . . . so, you decide. You want to read about what I'm currently working on? You want to know where I get my ideas? You want to know what we have planted in the garden? You want to know how adorable Casey is? You want to know what Diane looks like? (I say that because I get emails all the time wondering why there is no picture of her on my site) (she's shy) Do you want to know why a book ended the way it did? Do you want to know a good recipe for vegetarian lasagna? You want to know why I don't like to write sequels? Do you want to know a good camping spot in Colorado? Or do you want to know about a specific character or plot? Tell me what you want to know. Drop me an email at gerri@gerrihill.com or go to my blog leave a comment."

Welcome to the Academy, Ian Hayes!

XWP Changing Places by Ian Hayes [classic/alt/complete/FIN]
Xena’s soul, stranded in the Japa underworld is about to be reincarnated into a new body by the Japa gods and is no longer aware of who she was. Gabrielle, returning to Greece, discovers one day, without warning, that her soul mate’s spirit is no longer travelling with her and she is totally alone, but she has no way to find out what has happened. Recovering her memories Xena is enraged by how she has been manipulated and she also discovers the torment that Gabrielle is experiencing because of it. She must take on the Japa gods to ‘persuade’ them to send her back into the world so that she and Gabrielle can be reunited. But as usual, things don’t always go according to plan…

Changing Places follows Xena and Gabrielle from the Japa underworld, through Greece into Japa and then back to the underworld on a roller-coaster emotional journey, meeting up with a few old friends along the way.

Deception
By: Erin O'Reilly
ISBN: 978-1-933113-87-6
Price: $16.95

Available now at www.bellabooks.com and StarCrossed Productions

Lane Cuthbert knew exactly where she wanted to go and exactly what she had to do to get there. All she needed to elevate her status as an attorney within the legal network was a juicy scandal—or maybe even a murder. What she found was a beautiful woman with a secret.

When the sheriff charges beautiful and wealthy Bryce Clayton with the murder of Preston Garrett, Lane sees her chance at fame. The only problem is that Bryce won't say where she was at the time of the murder. Although Lane is able to discredit many of the district attorney's witnesses, she still has a problem—the alleged murder weapon belongs to Bryce.

Can Lane convince the jury of her client's innocence? Or will Bryce pay the ultimate price for her silence…

Blue Feather Books:

We are pleased to announce that Aurelia has joined Blue Feather Books. Her book, Possessing Morgan, is scheduled for release in 2009.

Aurelia is a "dinky di" Aussie, born and raised in Sydney, Australia, 52 years ago. She has been married for 32 years and has two grown-up daughters. She has no fancy degrees or diplomas, having finished secondary schooling at age 17 and joined the workforce then. She has worked as a secretary for most of her working life, taking time off to raise said kids, but in a variety of interesting jobs such as a working for a government scientific organization, the fire brigade, the film industry and for the last 15 years, with a psychiatrist. As her friends will attest, she has finally found her niche in this last job, where she finds many helpful hints for her own state of mind.
While Aurelia has been interested in writing for as long as she remembers, unlike many writers she did not feel the urge to express her own thoughts and ideas on paper. But the urge finally surfaced, in an internet chatroom no less, three years ago. Some encouragement finally pushed her out of the writing nest, and she spread her wings to fly as high as she could. Possessing Morgan will be her first published work.

Possessing Morgan
New York City, in the height of summer. Crime seems to have taken a holiday, and Detective Morgan O'Callaghan is bored, bored, bored. Paperwork is mating and multiplying on her desk, and even a jaywalker is starting to look good. Anything to get her out from behind her desk!

Enter Andrea Worthington, Charleston socialite and all-around rich girl, right down to the wealthy fiancé. She's also the new Assistant District Attorney assigned to Morgan's squad.

Their first meeting was like two freight trains crashing head on. Then a high profile, career make-or-break murder case throws them together again. The investigation has barely begun when Andrea becomes the target of a nearly fatal hit-and-run. But was it really aimed at her? Can she and Morgan find the common ground and they need to solve the case and stop the attacks, or are the gaps just too wide to bridge?

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I knew no other way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'. So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep." ~Pablo Neruda
