Today, Kathy Altman of USA Today's wonderful Happy Ever After blog recommended my November release, A Billy Sunday Kind of Love, as part of a roundup of historical novels.

Here’s a sam­ple of the lovely review:

“Sevier writes with a sub­tle, wicked humor and a sophis­ti­cated vibrancy that ush­ers the reader right into Depression-era Mem­phis — and Nell’s eccen­tric household.… Rich in South­ern ambiance, evok­ing an aura of men­ace, a tongue-in-cheek humor and a ten­der­ness all at the same time, this sec­ond book in the Psy­chic Socialite series has me des­per­ately hop­ing it won’t take Sevier long to con­jure up the third.”

How cool is that?

Roman­tic sus­pense author Don­nell Bell invited me to guest blog with the lovely ladies of Every­body Needs a Lit­tle Romance, prefer­ably on some roman­tic topic. With New Year’s Eve just behind us, kiss­ing seemed an appro­pri­ate topic. Stop by and see what I had to say about one of my most mem­o­rable, the Gold-Standard Kiss. http://everybodyneedsalittleromance.c...
