Armed & Magical (sequel to Magic Lost, Trouble Found) Author: Lisa Shearin Publisher: Ace Books (Penguin Group USA) Date Released: April 29, 2008 ISBN 978-0-441-01587-0 Price: $7.99 Ordinary sorceress. Extraordinary power. Suddenly she's the most popular girl in town. Armed & Magical is the second book in the Raine Benares adventure series, and the sequel to Magic Lost, Trouble Found. A unique blend of fantasy, adventure and romance, Armed & Magical features Raine Benares, a sorceress and seeker -- a finder of things lost and people missing. My name is Raine Benares. Until last week I was a seeker, now I'm psychic roommates with the Saghred, an ancient stone with cataclysmic powers. Just me, the stone, and all the souls it's ingested over the centuries. Crowded doesn't even begin to describe it. All I want is my life back-which means getting rid of the stone and the power it possesses. To sort things out, I head for the Isle of Mid, home to the most prestigious sorcery school, as well as the Conclave, the governing body for all magic users. It's also home to power-grubbing mages who want me dead and goblins who see me as a thief. As if that's not enough, Mid's best student spellsingers are disappearing left and right, and I'm expected to find them. Lives are at stake, goblins are threatening to sue, mages are getting greedier, and the stone's power is getting stronger by the hour. This could get ugly. The Trouble With Demons is the next book in the series. It will be in bookstores in May 2009. Author website: www.lisashearin.com

Unstable Environment

Author: Marcia Colette
Publisher: Parker Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-60043-035-0
Price: $10.95
Publication Date: April 17, 2008

Selfless pilot Sinclair Duval gave up two promotions, a beautiful condo, and a lover to protect her three-year-old niece from the lifestyle that destroyed the child's scheming mother, Sinclair's sister. Blaming himself for the loss of his fiancée in the last were-cheetah skirmish, brooding healer Rio Velasquez wants nothing to do with the upcoming battle, but struggles with turning his back on another innocent victim. When an act of sabotage nearly causes the toddler's death, Rio delivers a bite that saves her life--and changes her into a shape-shifter. A deadly clan war, an overzealous Social Service worker, an out-of-control shifting child, and falling in love add up to an Unstable Environment. UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT coming April 17, 2008 from Parker Publishing
