Masters of Seduction

An Ebook Anthology

(six never before published stories)

The Inside Scoop on Masters of Seduction

When I sold my first book (Red Roses Mean Love) way back in 1998, I joined an email loop with other Dell authors.  Over the years, most of them dropped off as they moved to other publishing houses, but a core group of us forged a friendship and to this day remain email buddies, or as we call ourselves, The Loopies.  The group consists of me, Marsha Canham, Virginia Henley, Jill Gregory, Sherri Browning Erwin, Connie Brockway, Julie Ortolon, and Julia London.  Kathleen Givens was also a beloved part of the group until her sudden death in 2010. Shortly after the e-book revolution began, the Loopies decided it would be great fun to put together an anthology.   Sadly, two Loopies weren’t able to participate due to scheduling conflicts, but the other six of us are thrilled to announce the publication of our first e-book anthology, which follows the journey through time of a mysterious mirror pendant, from the Middle Ages to today.

The heroine in my story (Heart's Desire) is Callie Albright, who readers first met in my debut novel Red Roses Mean Love where she was a precocious, tea party loving six year old.  Now Callie is all grown up and on her way to London to attend Queen Victoria's coronation and to announce her own engagement.  But a stop in the village where she spent her childhood brings her in contact with a man and an antique mirror -- and both will change her destiny.

Master storytellers Marsha Canham, Virginia Henley, Jacquie D’Alessandro, Jill Gregory, Sherri Browning Erwin, and Julie Ortolon deliver six sizzling new short stories featuring a magic mirror pendant that guides couples on a seductive path to their own true love destiny, from Middle Ages to modern day.
