Hi everyone!

It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone already. Where did the time go? I hope you had a great 2016 — and that you are making plans to get the most out of 2017.

This issue of the Quill is a 2016 recap and I’m also sharing a few sneak peeks at what’s ahead in 2017. Let’s get started!

Kelli’s Amber Quill Press Romances — Redux

As most readers know, Amber Quill Press closed in April. Since then, Kelli has been revising and releasing her AQP romances through Amazon and other sales channels. Here’s a quick list of the titles that were re-released in 2016:

A Most Unusual Princess

A Most Intriguing Temptation (formerly known as Dalton’s Temptation)

A Most Unfortunate Prince (formerly known as The Pauper Prince)

Together these three books make up the Royal Desires series. Although these historical/fantasy stories are connected, each stands alone as an individual read.

A Deceptive Match (formerly known as A Perfect Match)

A Secret Match

These two contemporary romance novels share characters and are set in the world of professional wrestling, but they’re not necessarily a series. A Deceptive Match is a M/F romance and A Secret Match is a M/M romance. Each stands alone as an individual read.

Confessions of a Vampire’s Lover (contemporary M/F paranormal)

Killer in Wolf’s Clothing (contemporary M/M paranormal)

Special thanks to Eve Grinnell for designing this and many of my other fantastic covers. Visit her site (www.grinnellgraphics.com) to learn more about her work.

New for 2016 — Lies, Love & Redemption

Kelli’s third Medallion Press romance Lies, Love & Redemption was released in September. This full-length novel is set on the Nebraska prairie in 1877 and blends a steamy romance with mystery and danger.  Here is the summary and links:

Lies, Love & Redemption
Shot and left for dead, Sam Hixton stumbles into a general store on the Nebraska prairie and collapses into the arms of Cassie Wilcox.

Cassie’s world is turned upside down when the handsome stranger drops into her life. Sam is another complication she doesn’t need: her business is dying and her trouble with the townspeople is escalating. Yet she’s determined to keep the store open — no matter what the cost.

As Sam recovers from his injuries, he hides the truth about his identity and convinces Cassie to let him work in the store. He’s attracted to her and admires her independent nature but quickly realizes Cassie’s in way over her head. They fight their growing attraction, and Cassie questions whether she can trust her fragile heart to a mysterious stranger. Will he accept her once he knows about her troubled past?

Cassie resists Sam’s advances and represses her feelings until one fateful night when they give in to their fiery passion. Together, they work out a plan to save the store but find their efforts are thwarted—and their lives endangered—by the locals.

Sam’s secret returns to haunt him and pulls him away just when Cassie needs him the most. Will he regain her trust when she learns the truth?

Cassie has everything invested in the store—can she save it and find true love with Sam before it’s too late?
