Please join me in cheering for the following KOD-members, who are feeling the love this week:

From Beth Treadway:   “A chapter sister (First Coast and Outreach International) is driving me to Moonlight & Magnolias so I don’t miss it or my pitch appointments! This is the fabulous convention run by Georgia Romance Writers and I almost couldn’t go when my doctor put me on prescription eye drops for several weeks. A shout out to the fabulous Maria Connor, who is prepping to give workshops on her new book, yet made time in her busy schedule to make sure I didn’t miss the conference and three chances to pitch. THAT’S a chapter sister!”

Rashda/Mina Khan released DARK SECRETS: A Paranormal Noir Anthology, in collaboration with Rachel Caine, Cynthia Eden, Megan Hart, Suzanne Johnson, and Jeffe Kennedy. Happy dancing because the reviews are coming in and they’re pretty decent, totally validates all the hard work that went into making this happen.

Next Tuesday (October 6) will see the publication of Manda Collins‘s 10th book with St. Martin’s Press, Book 2 in the Lords of Anarchy trilogy: GOOD EARL GONE BAD. In conjunction with that, Manda is interviewed in the October issue of THE BIG THRILL, the magazine for the International Thriller Writers. She’s been in Romancelandia for over a decade, so while she still loves meeting favorite authors, it’s not as giddy as it used to be. She can tell you now that being in the same magazine as Karin Slaughter turns her mystery reader side into a big old ball of Squeeing fangirl! And that’s just on the pages of a magazine. She’d probably need a restraining order in real life!

The second book in Marta Perry‘s Amish suspense series from HQN, WHEN SECRETS STRIKE, will be out the end of October. She’s delighted with the great covers she’s had for this series, with good reason. Check it out on her website, http://www.martaperry.com

Anne Marie Becker hasn’t had a chance to update her website and it’s too early to set up preorder links, but she’s already shared with her newsletter peeps that she has a cover for SLEIGHT OF HAND (Redemption Club, Book 2). She’s pretty darn excited about it, and she put it, along with her back cover copy, on her Facebook author page, if anyone at KOD would like a peek. https://www.facebook.com/AnneMarieBeckerAuthor

SLEIGHT OF HAND will be available January 4, 2016.

Barbara Barrett made RWA PAN Pro last week, and she wants to know who else in KOD has this designation.

And under the heading “better late than never,” Anne L. Parks released the first book in her romantic suspense trilogy in July, but never got around to telling us about it.

Kylie Tate is highly successful and focused on her future. No one sees the fear that consumes her, ravaged by demons from a past that left her distrustful of love.

Alex Stone is rarely denied. Not by business associates, and certainly not the women he dates and forgets. Romance is never an option. That is until beautiful, sexy, too damned independent Kylie comes into his life and frustrates the hell out of him. She sparks a desire in him to protect her from the one demon that haunts her – and threatens to destroy them both.

Pushed to her limit and unwilling to be a victim any longer, Kylie takes control of her life.

But a madman’s quest for revenge not only threatens to destroy the love she has finally found – but also her life.

And that’s what we’ve got for this week. Have a great weekend!
