Member Kristine Holbrook, writing as K.T. Black, is pleased to announce her debut Adult Romance novella Wicked Magic: Spellbound Book 1 (Liquid Silver Books).

Magic is in the air after Chandler Gray silently wishes for her predictable work-filled life to change. When a mysterious woman, fascinated with beautiful images, moves in next door, Chandler finds herself falling under the spell of the last person she expects to make her happy. There's just one problem: an ex-girlfriend with a grudge and the power to curse her happiness.

Member Jody Bower is delighted to announce the publication of her nonfiction work Jane Eyre's Sisters: How Women Live and Write the Heroine Story by Quest Books on March 1, 2015.

For decades people have been trying to fit Joseph Campbell's "monomyth" of the Heroic Quest to women. Yet there is another story specific to heroines, one that women and men alike have been writing for centuries. In Jane Eyre's Sisters, cultural mythologist Jody Bower, PhD, gives examples from dozens of books, biographies, plays, and movies as she delineates the themes and characters of the wandering heroine's story.

Member Virginia Antipolo-Utt is thrilled to announce Letters to My Child's Guardian, which shares heartfelt parent-attorney insights about child guardianships, creates a unique "catastrophe" resource, jumpstarts vital discussions, and guides parents to share an enduring family legacy to captivate future generations.Through Letters parents can supplement their estate plans in a non-legally binding fashion and families can use this inspirational resource to create powerful letters of encouragement, advice, and wisdom for their children.  If you could spend a few moments now that would dramatically help a child navigate a profoundly difficult time later, would you?

Raven House Marketing recently opened their doors for

business and will offer help for all authors looking to market their books.

Changes in the publishing industry over the last few years have left more and more authors not knowing what to do after they get their books published. This

used to be the purview of the publishing house.

Raven House Marketing has nearly 40 years marketing experience in a wide variety of mediums including radio, print, television and social media. RHM offers

consultations with authors and then a menu board of services to tailor a marketing plan for each author and book.

"One thing is for sure, there are no boilerplate marketing schemes out there and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for the next," said company

owner, Greg Martin.
