On Thursday, February 24th at 3PM Central time Barbara Ehrentreu is very happy to have as my guests on RRWL Tales from the Pages two fabulous many published authors, Lin and Kat Holmes, who like me are part of MuseItUp Publishing Co., Inc. This is a mother-daughter team that has between them eight books already published and nine more waiting for publication in the next year or two. Both of these feisty and exciting women write romance and both are published by the MuseItHot branch. But Lin also has books both published and about to be published from the mainstream MuseItUp Publishing. Both Lin and Kat have had to overcome some amazing odds and both are still dealing with crippling physical problems, which don't seem to stop either of them from writing and publishing books that people enjoy reading. Lin is the author of Santa is a Lady which won 5th place in the Preditors & Editors Poll. Kat's recent novel The Lighthouse has gotten very good reviews. This promises to be an excellent show and one you will not want to miss!

Happy New Year to all. I missed my January show thanks to a nasty cold, but I finally kicked it. My guests for the February show are Richard Buzzell and P.I. Barrington. P.I. was to be my guest last month and I am delighted that she will be joining me this month. Richard is the author of Zombistop Parade. But don't let the title make you think horror, it far from it. That's about all I can say about Richard. He seems to be a very private person. We'll just have to get to know him together. P.I. is the author a series of mystery novels, set in the near future. Very interesting reads. I am curious to know more about why she chose La Vegas for Crucifying Angel. A hint, I'd be visiting Vegas while you can still enjoy it. I hope you will come by and listen and maybe ask these two some questions. I think after getting to know them you will have more than a couple.
