I just wanted to let anyone know who might have tried to go to my website via my domain name and URL that it had been down for several days. It's back up and running...finally! Nothing is worse than trying to get these things fixed.

Also...a bit of personal news, I will be testing for my Black Belt in Karate on Saturday. I'm pretty proud of the four and a half years I have put into this and am looking forward to getting that elusive belt. I've also been asked to stay on at my school and become an assistant instructor.

On the business front, I have received three new reviews for three different books. I am very excited about all of them!

Terrie Figueroa of Romance Reviews Today http://www.romrevtoday.com says of FEAR THE DARK:

"Gripping and intense, FEAR THE DARK is a perfect example of Ms. Rasey's gift for writing suspense. Each page winds the tension tighter and tighter - in both the investigation and in the chemistry between Jack and Cara - until the reader is held on a knife edge. As with her previous novels, the reader is never sure who will survive at the end of the story, or who the villain really is. This shorter novella length story in no way loses any of the detailed characterization or plot development of her longer books, and if it wasn't so graphically frightening, would make the perfect late night read before bed. But in this case, don't read it after dark, or things that slither in the night just might follow you into your dreams.

A compact story of suspense that carries a terrific punch, I highly recommend FEAR THE DARK for a spine-tingling read."

Dena Kosche of Women on Writing http://www.womenonwriting.com says of FACADE:

"Patricia A. Rasey’s brilliantly written suspense is laced with sexual tension. Sharalee MacArthur has loved KC Tanner since she was nine years old. Now a twenty-four year old Victim Advocate, Sharalee waits for the day KC will notice she has grown up. Frustrated by KC’s lack of response, Sharalee flirts with another.


Façade expertly weaves the reader through the lives of small town Pine Knot where all is not as it seems. The reader is feed tantalizing tidbits as slowly the secret is revealed. Along the way KC acknowledges his attraction for Sharalee, but his guilt and friendship with her father keeps them apart. Patricia A. Rasey’s, Façade, proves that what is seen is not always true.



Patricia A. Rasey has written a faced paced romantic thriller that will keep you guessing. In Façade, the reader experiences the pain of unforgiveness and the destruction of past mistakes covered up. The challenge for KC and Sharalee will be less the truth and more their ability to move forward and forgive."

Marnie Holmes says of KISS OF DECEIT:

"In Kiss of Deceit Patricia Rasey has written a fast moving story, full of action, smart repartee, titillating sensual and sexual scenes and very difficult to put down. Just when you think you have figured out the murderer’s identity, Rasey gives the story another twist."

If you haven't had your chance to pick one of these up, they are still all available through Amber Quill Press http://amberquill.com Don't forget, IN THE MIND OF DARKNESS is my short story still being offered for free from their short story section.

I'm proud to say IN THE MIND OF DARKNESS rated number 1 in the Predator and Editor's Poll for best short story horror! Thanks to all who voted!

I will be signing books at Thackeray's in Toledo, Ohio, February 15th from 1-3 for anyone who will be in the area! I'd love to see you. I'm also hoping to do a joint signing in March in April. Details soon to follow.

Until next time....may the sun always outshine your darkness!
