Fallen Angel Reviews

Hi. It's cold outside here in Ottawa -- minus 18°C, or 0°F for the past week -- and we've got a lot of snow, but it certainly makes it feel like the holiday season is upon us. I hope your preparations are coming together well and that you're finding time to enjoy with friends and family.

I have most of my gift shopping done, with only a few odds and ends to pick up. Mostly, I've orderd on-line. My sons love that they can tell me something obscure they want for a friend or their Dad and I can usually find it! Also, I have little patience for crowded shopping mall, and even less time, especially since my latest project was due to my publisher on December 15th! I handed that over to my editor yesterday. That book is PLEASURE BOUND and will be out next November.

News

In addition to my St. Martin's books, I have made some new sales. Six stories (5 books and 1 novella) will be coming out from Sinful Moments Press (an imprint of Lachesis Publishing) over the next year or so. These are re-releases of books I had with a previous publisher under the author name Elizabeth Batten-Carew. Each story will have a brand new cover and will be clearly marked as an "Opal Carew Classic" so readers will know this is a re-release.

Recognition

BLUSH won third place in the Laurel Wreath contest.

New Release

If you haven't read my stories written as Elizabeth Batten-Carew, I hope you will take this opportunity to pick up the first of these Sinful Moments stories to be released: a Christmas story called Christmas Angel. It is just as hot and sexy as my St. Martin's Press books, but it is more about the love story than the developing sexual relationship. And how great is this cover!

Christmas Angel is a story about a woman who is cursed and must make a choice between her own freedom and destroying the life of the man she loves. It is uplifting and will remind you that this season is all about love and miracles. It is available in eBook only. It's short and only costs $2.99. Perfect to read by the fire, especially if you have someone special to cuddle up beside!

Note: The publisher is having problem with their shopping cart. WIth the holidays, it will not be fixed for several days, so I have set up a link on my website with a Buy Now link. For a limited time, you will receive an additional eBook, Deadly Secrets by Leeann Burke, with your purchase. (Leeann is a great author, and she's a good friend of mine. I even dedicated Christmas Angel to her.)

A Request

Please pass this newsletter on to anyone you think might be interested in my books.

Please have a great holiday season!
