Some of you are getting ready to fly to New York for RWA National. Your energy levels are pumped and primed for five days of whirlwind activities. In between all the agent/editor appointments, workshop sessions, and industry parties, I encourage you to find time to unwind with a good book. Here are two wonderful authors I’m eagerly reading.
1. Historical romance author Brenda Joyce 
Enter the magical world of Francesca Cahill, crime-solver extraordinaire. Unlike most New York City turn-of-the-century socialites, Francesca refuses to bow to convention. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is determined to right the injustices of society. In fact, Francesca is so unusual she has two notorious rivals feuding for her heart. Who will be the victor? Handsome Police Commissioner Rick Bragg or the enigmatic billionaire Calder Hart.2. Contemporary romance author Shannon McKenna
If you love reading romantic thrillers packed with what I call keeping-it-real characters, then you’ve got to read Shannon McKenna novels. Her edgy thrillers surround the world of the McCloud brothers.
Check out these exciting reviews.
McKenna introduces us to fleshed-out characters in a tailspin plot that culminates in an e”Pulse-pounding…with searing sex and raw emotions.” —Romantic Times, 4 ½ Stars
“Intense feelings, hard core adventure, and passionate combustion… I highly recommend.” —Coffee Time Romance
“Blends an intensely terrifying psychic thriller with a mind-blowing erotic romance.”

I’ve enjoyed reading these authors work immensely and hope you find a gem in one of their novels. Good luck at RWA National and have a wonderful time.
Until next time,
