In Audio

I recently received some copies of Love is Not Enough/Anne Herries/Severn House done in audio by Soundings. It took me ages to find a picture of the cover on the net, but last night I found one.

The Homeless Heiress seems to have been well received and I already have copies of the hardbacks of my newest HMB The Rake's Rebellious lady - but I dare say the paperbacks will arrive when I'm on holiday. There is always something coming when we go away! However, there is time yet so I may get them first.

Trial By Fire/Anne Ireland/Eternal Press comes out in September. This past week or so I've corrected two sets of proofs for HMB, done edits for two ebooks and a short story and started a new book! There is always something to do. I suddenly realised it was the 23rd, which is one of my days so I thought I would post.

Love to you all, Linda/Anne

Trial By Fire/excerpt

Tril By Fire/Anne Ireland/Eternal Press
Coming in September in ebook

Ally is recovering from an accident and illness. She has come to the cottage to rest and write her new book but now the voices have begun. Ally is being haunted by a fourteenth century witch. Isolde needs her story to be told and she needs help. Can Ally break the curse and help her?

Enjoy!

As she went down to the hall, Ally heard someone laugh. It was a pleasant sound, youthful and joyous. Where had it come from? The door to the sitting room was open. She walked in, half expecting to see a child at play, because it had surely been a child's laughter. The room was unoccupied, but the tiny, latticed window had been left open a little at the top. Of course, that was why she had heard the laughter. Sound carried a long way at night. Her neighbour probably had children.
Ally smiled, picked up another suitcase, and carried it upstairs.

“Why do you always smell so sweet? Why does your skin have the perfume of flowers?”
Ally froze as she heard the whisper. The voice was a man's―a man talking to his lover.

Laughter and now, whispers! Ally's skin prickled as she stood on the threshold to her bedroom. The voice had seemed to come from this room. But, it couldn't have. She had been into the room; she knew it was empty. Perhaps one of the other rooms? Was it possible that someone had been squatting here?

Putting down her case, she walked along the hall and looked inside the other bedrooms. They were both neat and clean, as pristine as when the agent had showed her the cottage. No one was in the house. It was her imagination.

Ally went back to the bedroom. It was quite empty. She was alone in the house. She hadn't heard that whisper. It was all in her mind.

Perhaps it was the book beginning to take shape at last. The explanation was one she could live with, because it had happened occasionally in the past. Not whispers exactly, but thoughts that came out of the blue and were so insistent, so loud in her head that they might have been spoken.

A Bittersweet proposal

When Marcus Rothwell, Earl of Broadstairs, is forced to spend the night alone with Harriet Aston he willingly does the honourable thing. But Harriet is not quite as complaint as Marc had supposed and, not being prepared to settle for a marriage of convenience, determines to engage her husband's affections. But before she can put her plan into action she is brutally attacked. Suspicion falls upon Marc's aunt, the dowager countess, but there is also the village beadle's unaccountable behaviour to be considered, as well as that of Marc's Machiavellian steward.

As Marc delves deeper into the mysterious reasons behind the attack on the woman he is finding it increasingly difficult to suppress his attraction towards he is unaware that his own life also hangs in the balance.

Too Hot To Handle Published!

Too Hot To Handle/Linda sole/Eternal Press
Sylvie is Vulnerable. Rafe is angry. Sparks will fly!
Available from http://www.eternalpress.ca/

published 7th June

Enjoy!

Sylvie knew that most of her friends settled for sex and a mutual liking, companionship and someone to share their lives. They went in for relationships that were never intended to be permanent, which might last for a few months or a few years, but would eventually end as one partner moved on to a new relationship.
"Marriage doesn’t matter anymore," was the general theory, and Sylvie had gone along with it, but in her heart she couldn’t help wanting more.
Well, you’re not likely to find it with Rafe Wilde, she told herself firmly. He simply isn’t the marrying kind.
She sighed, then smiled at her own thoughts. Mr. Wilde was just too attractive for her peace of mind.
And yet there had been a moment in his arms when she would have given herself and not though twice about it. Even now there was a tender, sensitized feeling between her thighs, a need that she had never felt before.

New Books

I am currently writing the third in a new Linda Sole saga series called the Family Feud trilogy. I am considering whether to write some more Sarah Beaufort Mysteries.







I have a Regency out with Amira Press as an ebook and now in print. This reached number two in the Historical Section at fictionwise when it came out as an ebook. It is now selling on amazon.com in print.

The first in the Sarah Beaufort Mysteries sold out and the next two have sold well. I have been asked by a library in America if there will be a reprint of Miscarriage of Justice, but I doubt this will happen.

Love Is Not enough seems to be selling well at the moment and the second book in the trilogy will be out next month.

Award

I am thrilled to announce that I have won the Reviewers' choice Award from Cataromance. Forbidden Lady/Anne Herries/Harlequin Historcials

In desperation she turns to the notorious Lord Sebastian Denver. Unable to deny a lady in distress Sebastian inveigles his way into Abby's hunting lodge, where all the prime suspects are gathered. However, distracted by his growing attraction towards Abby, he is unprepared when a further attempt is made on her life.

Sebastian must now delve into Abby's past, laying a daring trap for her aggressors in a race against time to keep her safe.
