Six New Magic, NM Books to Enjoy
For you paranormal romance fans out there, check out the six new books in the Magic, New Mexico collection of stories. It's an Amazon Kindle Worlds project, which allows multiple authors to romp on a shared playground, but bring their unique voices to the game. Now there are 15 books to choose from (including the book I contributed last year, In Graves Below), and they can be read in any order. By the way, if you're interested in learning more about the Kindle Worlds idea, see my previous post on why I'm a fan of fan fiction.
Touch of Heat

She is on the run and time is of the essence as her latent calori series surfaces—a benefit to all her kind touches.

Just when she begins to relax and believe that no one will find her so far away on the primitive planet, she comes face to face with the man sent after her.
