    <about><![CDATA[*My first release, Somewhere My Love, a murder mystery/ghost story romance with flashbacks to early nineteenth century Virginia, received a stellar review from Publisher's Weekly and won the 2008 Preditor's &amp; Editor's Readers Poll for Best Romance Novel. <br/>Published by The Wild Rose Press: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.thewildrosepress.com/">http://www.thewildrosepress.com/</a> <br/><br/>I finaled in the 2008 Golden Heart® with THROUGH THE FIRE, a fast-paced historical romance novel with a THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS FLAVOR and a mystical weave. Out at the Wild Rose Press May 22nd.<br/><br/>Fast-paced historical romance novel, ENEMY OF THE KING, is my version of THE PATRIOT.  <br/><br/>DAUGHTER OF THE WIND is a light paranormal romance with strong historical/Native American elements. My novels are available at The Wild Rose Press, Amazon and other online booksellers in both digital download and print.  <br/><br/>I enjoy well written stories that capture my imagination and am a hopeless romantic.  I read a variety of books, including the never ending research for my historical romance/paranormal stories.  Actually, I'm so busy writing I'm not reading much these days.<br/><br/>For more on my work please visit: www.bethtrissel.com<br/>Please friend me on myspace! <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://myspace.com/bctrissel">myspace.com/bctrissel</a><br/>]]></about>
