New Podcast Series Going Live!
Hi everyone!
Just trying to keep everyone updated on what is coming up.
On June 21, 2013 the first episode of my podcast series "Myths & Legends from Around the World with R. Rose" will go live.
I will share the fun, superstitious and often times scary myths and legends that I have come across in my research.
You will be able to find it here:
http://rrosefantasyauthor.podomatic.com
and if I do it right RSS feed should be available. I think it should be downloadable on ITunes too.
I will let you know when it goes live on the 21st and until then I will keep my fingers crossed that I push all the right buttons.

I was just informed that F&W Media hand-selected 34 titles from Abbott Press to be showcased on their website and "Desires (A Legacy Novel) has been selected to be one of the 34.
**We shall have a brief intermission while I do my happy dance!**
For those of you that have placed reviews on the book's page, don't be surprised if you see some of your blurbs posted on the site. They asked for links to that kind of stuff.
I will keep you posted when I find our anything further.
**Malevolence Teaser**
Some blurbs will make it onto the back cover of "Malevolence".

What's new in the world of Malevolence?
For all those wondering how Malevolence is coming along...well, it is coming along just fine.
Fantasy artist, Delight Prescott-Spall has all my ideas for the interior art and now the ball is in her talented court.
Fantasy Artist, Julie Fain has my ideas for the cover of "Sacrifices" and that ball is in her very talented court (it's a good thing I am ambidextrous with all these tennis references "bouncing" about). The cover art for Sacrifices will be revealed in the back of Malevolence.
Of course, Jen Delyth's Celtic art will be back.
I have also been talking back and forth with the publisher all week and I will spend the entire weekend working on the manuscript. Have I forgotten anything?
Well, that is all the update I have for you right now.

San Francisco Book Review for "Desires (A Legacy Novel)"
Desires (A Legacy Novel)
By R. Rose
Star Rating: 5 out of 5
This is truly a book that will keep you hooked until the very end! Elean is quite spirited and she is more courageous than most. You will fall in love with her and the men who loved her.

Kirkus Indie Review for "Desires (A Legacy Novel)"
Rose’s new fantasy series revisits the classic good-versus-evil battle in the ancient setting of Celtic and Sidhe legends.
While the development of the characters and legend are vivid… the well-developed fantasy world has potential.
In Rose’s fairly complex fantasy…the story comes together in a richly layered world.

Numerology & a Birthday could be lucky for YOU!
If you know anything about numerology then you know we all have a "lucky" number, mine is 7.
There must be something to this as my name totals to 7, my birthdate totals to 7, my birth month is 7, my address totals to 7, my phone number totals to 7...you see, I hardly think they can all be a coincidence.
In the spirit of the #7 and my birthday, I am going to host another giveaway (yes, I may actually be addicted to them).
I will give away 7 softcover copies of "Desires (A Legacy Novel) on July 11.
Enter to win your birthday present!
