Review: "Lancelot's Lady is a sexy romantic suspense with engaging characters and a mystery that will keep you guessing."

The Hot Author Report says, "D'Angelo (aka Tardif) is talented at creating good characters who are easy to love and evil characters who are oh, so easy to hate...However, D'Angelo's greatest strength still came in the form of writing suspense. The mystery of JT and Rhianna's connection kept me guessing right up until the big reveal – and I usually pride myself on figuring out mysteries before they are revealed. All in all, I highly enjoyed Lancelot's Lady and wish it didn't have to end...Lancelot's Lady is a sexy romantic suspense with engaging characters and a mystery that will keep you guessing."

Review: Children of the Fog - "A thrilling, chilling and emotional treat!"

"A total page turner!! I am an avid reader and was looking for some new, fresh suspense to load onto my Kindle. I was given a tip on Children of the Fog and boy was I glad. Cheryl Kaye Tardif has done an amazing job entertaining me. Not only did I identify with the main character, (Sadie), on various levels, but with all the twists and turns and little subplots, my inner slueth was constantly in commotion. I couldnt figure out a thing in advance. What I kept anticipating to happen, never did and it turned into something totally unexpected. Wow! It was so hard to put down that I hardly did. What a thrilling, chilling and emotional treat! Love, love, love!"

Children of the Fog is available on Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, Kobo Books, iBooks and more and you can purchase either the ebook edition or a trade paperback edition.Cheryl Kaye Tardif is a Canadian suspense author.

Review: Divine Intervention - "A divine futuristic, parapsychic crime thriller"

J. Loftus, an Amazon reviewer, gives Divine Intervention 5 STARS:

"Divine Intervention is a divine futurisitic, parapsychic crime thriller...Just when you think you have things figured out, there is the Aha moment when everything you figured out is wrong and surprise is your new best friend. Divine Intervention would make a great script for a movie. I cannot wait for the sequel. Keep them coming Cheryl!!!"

Review: Children of the Fog - "A creepy good novel."

Here's a 5 STAR review from John Ottini, an Amazon reviewer:

"A creepy good novel...I just love Children of the Fog! This is one of those creepy mysteries with a paranormal element, that beacons back to the style found in early Twilight Zone episodes. Ms Tardif knows how to tell a good, fast moving story, with interesting characters, witty dialog and that eerie twist that leaves you wanting to keep the pages turning, long after bedtime. Great book, great writer.....great things to come!"

Writer interviews and lots of prizes at Jessica Subject's Blogoversary

One of my good friends, writer Jessica Subject, is celebrating her one year anniversary for her blog--or her Blogoversary. So Jessica is throwing a big party and giving away tons of prizes. If you enjoy reading, then this is the place to be, and she'll have new content and contests during the month of March. I hope you'll help her celebrate and stop by.

Now here's a word from Jessica:
When I started networking on twitter and facebook in early 2010, I thought I should have a website to keep people interested in my own writing. Since I don't have anything published yet, I felt uncomfortable giving people writing advice. Instead, I thought I'd review books that I've enjoyed and interview authors who have written books that interest me. Since then, many authors have contacted me and asked if I would review their books. I've read so many fabulous books - many independently published - that I would not have read otherwise.

For me, my blog is a way to share my love of reading and writing. It keeps me from getting bored.

Now that I have had my blog up and running - with only a couple minor problems - for a year, I thought I'd invite several authors, book bloggers and songwriters I've met over the past year to help me celebrate. I received an overwhelming response with many participants offering fabulous prizes, including the lovely Cheryl Kaye Tardif.

Here is the blogoversary schedule: http://www.markofthestars.com/wp/?page_id=3472
Here are a list of some of the prizes to be won: http://www.markofthestars.com/wp/?page_id=4735 There are many others being offered on the participants' posts, so be sure to stop by everyday for your chance to win and to learn about some wonderful people.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Jessica. I wish you many, many blogoversaries to come. :-)Cheryl Kaye Tardif is a Canadian suspense author.

Cheryl is featured on Gig City, Edmonton's Daily Entertainment Source

A short while ago, I was interviewed by Rob Drinkwater at Gig City. We chatted about my journey with writing my romantic suspense, Lancelot's Lady. I had to laugh while reading his article; not many men would be patient enough to read a romance novel, much less write an article about one.

I'll forgive Rob for calling my pen name Cherish D'Angelo "cheesy" and for referring to Lancelot's Lady as a "soap opera". After all, he says it's "a good one." And I think he's right. Lancelot's Lady is hot! :-)

I had a great time discussing romance and writing with Rob. I hope you'll check out his article.
