Your timing is great because TODAY is the release date for KNIGHT OF PLEASURE, the 2nd book in my medieval series, ALL THE KING'S MEN! BTW, you don't have to read the first book to enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteThis is what RT Book Reviews says about KNIGHT OF PLEASURE: "★ ★ ★ ★ [A] riveting story, intertwining adventure and history...with a constantly increasing level of sensuality....[A] rare treat."
KNIGHT OF PLEASURE should be available in most major bookstores today (or very soon!) and is available on-line at Amazon, B&N, Borders, Indiebound. You can find out more about my books & find purchase links at my website: www.margaretmallory.com

Hi Nan,
ReplyDeleteI have an historical fantasy you'd be interested in.
THE CRESCENT
"The gladiator just got a makeover. In 200 AD when answers were taken at the tip of a sword two women will stake their claim in a sport of death dominated by men to fulfill their respective destinies."
Nadja, a young immigrant from Russia, would've been happy to live out her life as a simple farm hand...if she'd been given a choice. Kidnapped, she is sold to the ruthless Captain of the Guards of Chetney, Malakai who's only desires are the riches that can be earned from providing the people with entertainment. Nadja is held in the fould underbelly of the castle like livestock and trained in the arts of war to be used as a sporting spectacle inside the gladiator arena. She fights hard and well, the crowds welcome her with patronage she has never known before, but her true heart's passion still embraces the hope of one day realizing her freedom. Her immediate goal...survive.
Liza Tor, as passionate as she is powerful, is a queen by marriage. Growing up among the common people she has not been raised with the mind set of a queen, thus making her time on the throne seem monotonous and largely unimportant. She takes up the way of the sword to earn respect from her people, her husband the king, and to prove to herself that she is capable of anything. Fearing her husband's rejection of her new passion, Liza keeps her training secret and conceals her identity before competing inside the gladiator arena.
Playing the puppet master, Malakai is fortunate enough to uncover Liza's dark secret. Seeing nothing but prospects of future earnings he blackmails Liza into battling the crown jewel of his gladiator crop - Nadja in a battle to end all others. Their time is now. Life and death, love and hate, separated by one swing of the sword.
*Soon to be a major motion picture!
The Crescent is available at www.CynthiaVespia.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com

ReplyDeleteScarecrow in Gray is the story of a North Carolina farmer who is forced to fight in the War Between the States, a war not to his liking. He joins up with a Confederate unit, along with a rustic friend, and battles his way through the waning months of the war. However, the end of the war is not the end of the violence and death.
ReplyDeleteThe book is available at Amazon and other fine ( ;) ) booksellers. My blog is www.scarecrowsdreams.blogspot.com.
Also, watch for the poetry compendium, On Wings of Gentle Power, due out in December!
Thanks, Nan!
