Fantasy author Jeffe Kennedy and romance author Celeste Bradley will be celebrating the release of The Tears of the Rose: Mark of the Tala Book 2 and With This Ring, respectively, with a chat and signing Sunday, December 7!

In Kennedy’s 2nd Mark of Tala novel, “Three sisters. Motherless daughters of the high king. The eldest is the warrior-woman heir;the middle child is shy and full of witchy intuition; and the youngest, Princess Amelia, she is as beautiful as the sun and just as generous.  Ami met her Prince Charming and went away to his castle on the stormy sea-cliffs-and that should have been her happily ever after. Instead, her husband lies dead and a war rages. Her middle sister has been taken into a demon land, turned into a stranger. The priests and her father are revealing secrets and telling lies. And a power is rising in Ami, too, a power she hardly recognizes, to wield her beauty as a weapon, and her charm as a tool to deceive…”

And in Bradley’s latest romance, “Elektra Worthington is the lovely middle daughter of the eccentric, impoverished Worthington family. Her beauty means nothing to her except as her currency to return the Worthington name to its former glory of status, riches, and dominance in the ballrooms of Regency England. To this end, she will stop at nothing—even if she must kidnap a rich lord in the process. If this lucky gentleman is just returning from a long absence and knows nothing of the Worthington reputation, well, a girl shouldn’t look a gift lord in the mouth…right?”

Kennedy, an award-winning author, lives in Santa Fe. Bradley, a science-fiction fan who attends Bubonicon, lives in Albuquerque.

Come join Kennedy & Bradley  2:30 pm Sunday, December 7, at Page One Books, 5850 Eubank Blvd NE (Mountain Run Shopping Center, southeast corner of Eubank & Juan Tabo).
