Keep safe & have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, it’s that time of year again: The End … almost.  And what a fabulous year it has been! Three books published, THANKS to lovely Safkhet Publishing, and out there – at last.  I can’t quite believe it.

Recipes for Disaster was published in February – and shortlisted for the Festival of Romance Innovation in Romantic Fiction Award.

Somebody to Love, published in July, has garnered some fabulous reviews and is now featured as one of Dizzy C’s Little Book Blog best reads 2012.  Yay!

Warrant for Love (a teeny bit more racy than Somebody to Love) was published in August and is getting phenomenal reviews.  You can find an example of one such lovely review here (so proud was I, I couldn’t resist framing it!).  I am truly thrilled to bits ~ and a little bit gobsmacked that my books are being read and loved.  I think, I hope, reviewers, who give freely of their time to help bring books and readers together, realise how truly grateful authors are.

Thank you! Thank you, too, to all my lovely friends who have given me so much support, following and sharing my progress and occasionally offering a shoulder to blubber on. 

A huge THANK YOU also to loveahappyending.com, a wonderful group of talented authors and reader/reviewers, without whose support I would have flailed about and possibly sunk without trace.  You can find a FABulous roundup of loveahappyending’s achievements and books published over the last year if you click on the link.  More to follow in the New Year.  Onward and Upward!

Lastly, my new book (yes, another one!) releases on Valentine’s Day 2013! The day before my birthday!   

I was knee-deep in edits and proofreading over Christmas so enlisted Santa’s little helpers to lend a hand/paw. Unfortunately, they found themselves otherwise engaged.  

 

 

The gorgeous cover model for A Little Bit of Madness, Carol E Wyer, was chosen from a competition run at the Festival of Romance 2012.  Keep an eye out for that on Fiction Addiction Book Tours.  You will NOT be disappointed.

Keep Safe everyone ~ and have a

Happy, Healthy & Successful New Year.

 

 

 

To all my lovely friends ~ THANK YOU! Keep safe :)

Merry Christmas

From me to you!

May all your hopes and DREAms come true.

Snoops, Odi and Sheryl would like to thank everyone for their friendship and support throughout the year.

Followers, reviewers, lovely Safkhet Publishing ~ and all those people who have indulged my ramblings and spared a moment to chat

~ THANK YOU!  ~

We couldn’t have done it without you.

HAVE A GOOD ONE!

KEEP SAFE!

REVIEW: Touched by The Light ~ Linn B Halton

Touched by The Light - A Fun, thought-provoking love story with a psychic twist

Dying was, quite frankly, incredibly easy.' This is the opening to Linn B Halton's Touched by The Light - and you have to admit it's an intriguing hook. It drew me immediately into the story, telling me what to expect and then going on to briefly outline poor Mya's predicament. She's finally got a point where she can see her way forward in life (and love). More importantly, she knows what she wants and has the tools to achieve it, and... wham ...suddenly she's on the other side and having to struggle all over again - to find her meaning in death.

Death - it's a scary word. The story, however, though obviously having physic and paranormal elements, isn't scary at all. It's more a story about love and life, relationships and how we cope with the scars we carry into those relationships. If you haven't already gathered, Mya is a ghost. Telling her story in the first person (kudos to the author for telling the story in first point of view for all characters, by the way, which is cleverly done, each character having their own unique voice), Mya finds herself in the midst of love-torn, Laurel and Dan's relationship. Laurel, it turns out, is able to communicate with spirits, which gives us the clue that Mya is somehow meant to `meet' her. She has no clue why, though, and thus begins Mya's quest to sort out her own conundrum as well as Laurel's and Dan's difficulties.

Touched by the Light is a thought-provoking love story, a fun romance with a psychic twist, a few `will they?' surprises and a must-read-on feel good factor! (I loved Mya’s first encounter with the Ouija board. Definitely felt I was there. I won't say where for fear of `spoilers' but it made me laugh). It raises questions and looks at what draws us to other people. In short, it delivers - and has a hugely satisfying ending. I would highly recommend this book. A fabulous read to tuck up with over the holidays!

Reviews worth framing!

When authors get good reviews they simply can’t resist sharing.  This one from Jonty (JB JOHNSTON) at Brook Cottage Books was so FABulous, I thought it should be framed. Soooo ... Tah-dah! ... herewith the kind of review that makes all our Christmas wishes come true.  Thank you, Jonty!  Thanks, too, to all reviewers who give so much of their time to help authors get their books ‘out there’.  It can’t be easy having so many people clamouring for attention.  Reviews have to be impartial and honest, of course, and therefore not necessarily what you would wish for, but without them our books might possibly sink without trace.

Reviewers - WE LOVE YOU!  HAPPY CHRISTMAS! And may your New Year TBR pile be everything you would wish for. 

MY LOVELY REVIEW - Warrant for Love

Warrant for Love ~ Book Tour!

Contemporary Romance / Comedy

Title: Warrant For Love

Author: Sheryl Browne

Date Published: 8/1/12

 

Sheryl Browne (Safkhet Publishing) & Warrant for Love are touring with Reading Addiction Blog Tours! Nothing too strenuous pre-Christmas ~ just a few fab short hops.

We'd love you to join us!

 

Warrant for Love Love, blackmail, lies, adultery, entrapment. Three couples in a twisting story that resolves perfectly. Life for Paul sounds like your typical country song. He comes from a broken home, his wife is divorcing him, he's got no place to live, he's losing custody of his son, and his sergeant, who's sleeping with his wife, is a loud-mouthed braggart who won't let up on him – not even at work. Leanne's caught her (now) ex cheating on her again, but before she can give him the what-for, she's wrongfully arrested for soliciting – by Paul and his partner. One thing leads to another and things could be looking up for Paul, except for Leanne's friends – quarrelling mom Nicky and financial goddess Jade – have it out for her ex. Leanne wants closure, Paul wants a home, and Nicky and Jade want revenge. Blackmail, lies, adultery, entrapment. Will it all work out in the end or will Paul uphold the law? It sounds like he needs a Warrant for Love.     Virtual Book Tour December 3 - December 16   December 3 - Reading Addiction Blog Tours - Meet and Greet December 4 - My Cozie Corner - Review December 6 - TE Garden of Books -Review December 11 - My Reading Addiction - Review December 14 - Beth Art From the Heart - Review/Guest Post December 15 - Bless Their Hearts Mom - Review/Guest Post
