There are 4 stories in VALENTINES & ROAD TO RUIN, a
completely delightful anthology. 3 of the stories will
please; but the 4th one is so clever, hilarious and
inventive that this anthology earned an automatic spot on

Here Comes Santa Claus
by Sandra Hill, Kate Holmes, Trish Jensen
"Christmas Joy"
Posted September 20, 2001
Here Comes Santa Claus has a unique twist on the
traditional Christmas Anthology. Instead of the 3 novellas
appearing separately they are intertwined! The fun part is
that these 3 authors pulled it off seamlessly. The
characters are consistent and the writing voice is not
jarring as one Read more...

Calder's Rose
by Kate Angell
"Delightful and Witty Battle of the Sexes"
Posted April 14, 2003
In the absolutely delightful CALDER'S ROSE author Kate
Angell brings life to the expression oft used by
authors: "my characters just came to life and wrote
themselves". By interpreting this comment literally,
Angell has a wonderful and totally different concept for
this love story.

Love Is Murder
by Rebecca Brandewyne, Maureen Child, Linda Winstead Jones
"Romance and Suspense deJour"
Posted April 17, 2003
If LOVE IS MURDER was a baseball game it would be
batting .666--two out of three attempts were hits and one
major out. Not bad for an average, but the first story was
so disappointing that I am hoping that readers won't give
up and miss the really great Read more...
