Four Stars for Jane Austen and the Archangel
Jane Austen and the Archangel by Pamela AaresMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I downloaded this book to my Kindle when I saw it on Facebook. I'm a huge Jane Austen fan and have also read many of the modern-day "sequels" to her books, so I thought, "What the heck?" The premise of Jane Austen getting involved with an archangel seemed creative at the very least. I figured it would either be gawdawful or quite intriguing. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Pamela Aares did a wonderful job of not only bringing Jane alive for me, but lending credulity to the story of her falling hard for the archangel Michael. Angelic intervention aside, she respected the facts of Jane's life in spinning her tale, lending to its believability. Bravo, Pamela Aares. I would definitely read more from this author.

Into the Highland Mist (Kate Robbins, Scottish historical romance)
Yelena Casale (Yelena Casale, urban fantasy)
To recap, The Queen of Swords, a paranormal tale of undying love, is the darkly erotic story of a bookish white witch who returns every 100 years to reunite with her earthbound soul mate, a Scottish earl turned vampire by an evil wizard's curse. The book is available for the Kindle right now and will be released in paperback in another week or two. So far, my debut novel has earned 13 five-star reviews on Amazon.com and a few more at Amazon.com/UK. Here are excerpts from some of them:
“As sinfully seductive as chocolate…”
“An extraordinary debut.”
“Lyrical prose as fluid as honey.”
“A wonderfully dark and seductive tale.”

I Heart Books (4-star review, spotlight & giveaway)
Just One More Romance (spotlight & giveaway)
Here's the blurb:
When Graham Logan, a Scottish earl
turned vampire by a dark wizard’s curse, draws the Queen of Swords, he knows
he’s about to meet the love of his life. For the third time. But surrendering
his heart will mean risking her life…or making her what he is. Neither of which
his morals will permit him to do. Graham, who believes he lost his soul to the
curse, rages at God: Why give her back only to take her again?
Cat Fingal, the third incarnation
of Graham’s twin flame, won’t let him escape so easily. As soon as they meet,
she feels she knows him and begins having past-life flashbacks. A white witch,
she casts a spell to summon him, wanting answers and to fill the void she’s
felt all her life.
Graham has other problems, too.
Like the seductress who wants him for herself and the dark wizard who cursed
him and killed his beloved the first two times.
Will he find a way to save her this
time around? Or will she save him?

writing of course! Every week we'll answer questions and after you've

questions in the comment box."
. . .
Welcome to my wee slice of Romance Weekly. Here are my responses to this week's jackpot questions:How does your writing impact your inner life?
I'm a very creative person and I believe the creative spark has a spiritual source, so I find the process of writing very transcendent. Well, perhaps not on a bad day when my muse has decided to call in sick, but on a good day, there's nothing better. I also believe the books themselves serve a purpose in the world. My characters often struggle with their beliefs about God and faith and the hereafter and I believe those struggles might resonate for my readers.Before I published The Queen of Swords, I worried that people would find the character's discussions about religion off-putting, but so far, not one person has so much as mentioned it. Go figure. Writing the book also made me reflect on my own spiritual path, which has slipped too far into the background in recent years.How do you hope your books affect your readers?
I strive to write the kind of books I like to read: those that entertain, edify, and enlighten to some extent. If reading one of my books makes someone stop to consider something they've never considered before, then I've succeeded.Has anyone told you your book changed their life? How?
Not yet and I don't know that they ever will, but it would be gratifying to hear. I believe literature can change lives and while what I write isn't quite at the level of literature, I still believe it could alter someone's perspective. Even if it doesn't and they simply enjoy the ride, I'd be satisfied. The Queen of Swords, my debut novel, released on Saturday and is now available on Amazon.com. It's been getting phenomenal reviews, which pleases me no end.Now, off you go to read what romance writer Brenda Margriet has to say in response to these questions (mine!).

Set in modern-day Scotland and England with flashbacks to other eras, the book tells the story of an innocent white witch who returns every 100 years to reunite with her earthbound soul mate, a Scottish earl turned vampire by a dark wizard's curse.
Here's the backcover blurb:
When Graham Logan, a Scottish earl
turned vampire by a dark wizard’s curse, draws the Queen of Swords, he knows
he’s about to meet the love of his life. For the third time. But surrendering
his heart will mean risking her life…or making her what he is. Neither of which

curse, rages at God: Why give her back only to take her again?
Cat Fingal, the third incarnation
of Graham’s twin flame, won’t let him escape so easily. As soon as they meet,
she feels she knows him and begins having past-life flashbacks. A white witch,
she casts a spell to summon him, wanting answers and to fill the void she’s

Graham has other problems, too.
Like the seductress who wants him for herself and the dark wizard who cursed
him and killed his beloved the first two times.
Will he find a way to save her this
time around? Or will she save him?
Here's the trailer:
Here's an excerpt:
Biting his lip, Graham turned the card of the here and now quickly. Seeing what he’d most feared tightened his chest. The central figure sat in profile upon a throne carved with angels and butterflies. She wore a white gown and a cloak decorated with clouds. More clouds gathered in the background, suggesting a storm was coming. The woman’s left hand reached out toward someone or something unseen in the distance. Her other hand gripped the up-thrust symbol of her suit.
The Queen of
Swords.
He’d drawn the card only once before: the morning
he’d met Catharine La Croix at a sidewalk cafe overlooking the Seine. To say
her resemblance to Caitriona discomposed him was an understatement. He’d been
floored by the likeness. He’d also been drawn to it like a sailor to a siren’s
song. Unfortunately, he’d had no ship’s mast to rope himself to until the
danger passed. Within a few weeks, they were deeply in love. He never suspected
she might meet the same fate as her previous incarnation. Not until it was too
late, anyway.
He’d done his best to protect her. After seeing
Gerard Fitzgerald, the dark wizard who’d cursed him, on the street outside her
apartment on Rue de Cherche Midi,
he’d kept a watchful eye on her. Being as stubborn as before, she didn’t care
for his vigil. One morning, she slipped out after he’d fallen asleep. He’d
searched for her everywhere, out of his mind with worry. He’d had her blood,
should have felt her, but he didn’t. That evening, he learned why.
Fitzgerald had done it. Of that, he was certain. He
just didn’t know why. Now, it looked as if history was about to repeat. And
what could he do about it except tear out his hair, beat his fists on the walls,
and cry to heaven, “Why? Why give her back to me only to take her again?”
Grief closed around his throat like a strangler’s
hands. Coughing to ease its grip, he overturned the card of his future.
Surprise stung his heart when he saw The
Fool. Squinting, he studied the image of a gaily-dressed youth whose open
arms seemed to embrace the world. His right hand held a knapsack, his left, a
single white rose. Nipping at his heels was a wee white dog. The Fool, fearing nothing, looked
skyward with a dreamy expression as he strode toward the edge of a cliff.
Bewildered, he shook his head. What could it mean? The Fool stood on the threshold. He was
the protagonist of the tarot, the archetypal hero embarking on his quest, the
soul starting its journey toward atonement. The
Fool, in other words, was the polar opposite of the hopeless, faithless
tightrope walker Fitzgerald’s dark curse had turned him into over the past one
hundred years.
