COVER POLL.....You Decide!


P.E.A.R.L. 1999


P.E.A.R.L. 2000

Futuristic Romance is enjoying new popularity thanks to talented authors such as the award winning
Catherine Spangler.

 

Catherine Spangler is well known to paranormal romance lovers for her ability to paint vivid pictures in the minds of her readers. Her Shielder series has won acclaim for its honorable heroes, courageous heroines, the plots which empower them, and of course their heart-melting romances.

Her upcoming novel, SHAMARA (Love Spell, September 2000), the third book in the Shielder series, is certainly no exception. We guarantee you will never look at BLUE FEATHERS in quite the same way again <g>!

A colorful tale deserves a colorful cover, and the folks at Dorchester obviously agree. Look for the details of Catherine Spangler's THINK PINK contest in future issues.
