Magical Musings

We’re already giddy at Magical Musings by great news for Michelle Diener and Liz Kreger, and now we’re even more gleeful with our fabulous three guests for the week. First up on Monday is Barbara Samuel, aka Ruth Wind and Barbara O’Neal. She’s a multiple RITA award-winning author with more than 25 books to her credit, in women’s fiction and historical and contemporary romances. She now writes women’s fiction for Ballantine, romances for Silhouette, and columns for her website and Novelist’s Ink. Her newest book under her Barbara O’Neal pen name is out now, The Secret of Everything. It has family, food, love and great writing. I love her books under all her names, but her Barbara O’Neal books are my favorites. You can read more about The Secret of Everything here and the excerpt here.

On Tuesday, award-winning Cynthia Eden is our guest. Cynthia writes paranormal and romantic suspense novels. Her publishers include Kensington Brava, Grand Central, Avon Red, Red Sage, and ImaJinn Books. In her newest, Eternal Hunter, she delves into the dark realms of the Others, where desires and dangerous games await the unsuspecting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She received a rave review from Publishers Weekly, which said, “Danger and excitement leap off every page of this fast-paced paranormal romance set in the world of 2009’s Immortal Danger.” RT said, “her pages fly with mystery, suspense, action and plenty of sexual heat.” Cindy started out hot, and with each book book she gets hotter! You can read the blurb and excerpt for Eternal Hunter here.

Beverley Kendall will be joining us on Thursday. Her debut book, Sinful Surrender, hit the books shelves on Jan 5 and garnered a 4-star review from RT. Beverley has lived on two continents, in three countries, two provinces, and four states. She stopped her nomadic existence and settled in Georgia with her young son. All things artistic feed her creative passion, but none more than writing.

Readers can visit Beverley’s website. A second book in this series, The Gauntlet, will be a Jan 2011 release. We look forward to having these talented authors join us at Magical this week.
