New anthology available now: Fresh Kills
Fresh Kills, a collection of original short stories by the authors of the popular literary blog The Kill Zone is now available.

My story is "Blood Remains," in which a victim of childhood abuse returns home after many years only to discover that while memories fade, blood remains.

Fresh Kills also features stories by bestselling authors Michelle Gagnon, John Gilstrap, John Ramsey Miller, James Scott Bell, Joe Moore, and Clare Langley-Hawthorne. These killer tales vary from the paranormal to the chilling to the just plain scary. Each delivers a finely crafted tale that will keep you clicking through the pages.

Hi again!

The cover for my next release, I Dream of Genies, is now posted on my blog:www.JudiFennell.wordpress.com

The incomparable artist, Anne Cain, who did the Mer book covers also did this one and I'm hoping she'll be on board for the rest of the series. This book releases in January of 2011, so we have a while to go yet, but I'm so thrilled with the cover I just had to put it out there.

Here's a little bit about this story:
When Eden, a genie sentenced to her bottle for killing her previous master, suddenly finds herself freed 1400 years early, she knows it’s only a matter of time before Faruq, vizier to the High Master, tracks her down. Being magical, that shouldn’t be a problem, however, she A) lost her bottle and whoever controls that control her, B) wears the gold bracelets that act like homing devices, letting Faruq easily know exactly where she is and C) has lost her ability to perform magic so now things start happening and appearing when they shouldn’t.

Matt Ewing, rescuer extraordinaire of lost cats and damsels in distress, offers to help her out—until she ruins his business, steals his cat, and puts him at the mercy of spurned-suitor Faruq.

Throw in a cat with an agenda, and a chase through the magical city in the Sahara, and Eden and Matt must outwit Faruq to escape with their freedom, their lives, and their love.

Dear Readers,
I have a late-winter treat (a sneak peek!), and event news to share—

Proper Victorian Miss Seeks Lovemaking Tutor
My newest Harlequin Blaze Historical, The Tutor, hits shelves this July. In anticipation, I have posted an exclusive Sneak Peek of this "Men of Roxbury House" trilogy spin-off. Set in Victorian Scotland, The Tutor stars Bea Lindsey, who has matured since her appearance in Untamed as Lady Kate's bratty younger sister. Bea asks Ralph Sylvester, her brother-in-law’s handsome, enigmatic valet for the most outlandish lesson—to tutor her in the art of lovemaking. Check out the Sneak Peek for a snippet of the seduction, and stay tuned to www.HopeTarr.com for a longer excerpt in Spring.

You'll be able to pre-order soon and of course The Tutor will be available a month early exclusively on e-Harlequin.com. Stay tuned for details and book news.

Affairs to Remember
On Saturday April 10th at the Empire State Book Festival, in Albany, NY, I will be taking part in a panel discussion about the romance genre and signing copies of my books. I'd love to see you there! The details for these events and more are available on my Media & Events page.

Lady Jane's Salon—New York's first (and so far only) monthly reading series devoted to romance fiction—takes place the first Monday of the month, 7:00-9:00 PM at Madame X at 94 W Houston Street in Manhattan. I won't be reading from The Tutor until July 5th (mark your calendars!), but until then, please come out for our amazing lineup of top-notch authors.

Looking Forward
I will be contributing a paranormal novella in A Harlequin Christmas Carol, a Victorian Christmas anthology, alongside works by fabulous fellow authors Betina Krahn and Jacquie D'Alessandro. Though the release date is months away (November 2010), it's never too early for visions of sugarplums and holiday spice!

I wish you all sunny and early springtime weather, and lots of lovely outdoor reading!

Be sure to vote for how the story should continue and you'll be entered for the $100 bookstore gift card. The drawing will be held March 31st!

Enjoy!

Dear Friends:

Spring can’t come too soon as far as I’m concerned. It’s been a cold winter in South Florida. Hopefully the warmer weather will bring renewed energy and a better outlook for the publishing industry.

WHAT’S NEW?
SILVER SERENADE is ready to roll with a July 16, 2010 release from The Wild Rose Press. I just love the cover. It's perfect for the story. I really hope you’ll join Silver and Jace on their adventures.

Meanwhile, I’m having my first three futuristic romances, the Light-Years Trilogy, put into eBook format by Belgrave House, so soon you’ll be able to download Circle of Light, Moonlight Rhapsody, and Starlight Child for your reading pleasure. Print versions are available at iUniverse.com or through major online bookstores.

As for my mysteries, my agent is still marketing the tenth Marla Shore novel and my new mystery series proposal. All of my Bad Hair Day series are still available in print format and in eBook format at www.eReads.com.
