Publishing Announcement from Erin O'Reilly
Intaglio Publications, Inc. is proud to announce the release of
Deception by Erin O'Reilly.
Deception
By: Erin O'Reilly
ISBN: 978-1-933113-87-6
Price: $16.95

Lane Cuthbert knew exactly where she wanted to go and exactly what
she had to do to get there. All she needed to elevate her status as
an attorney within the legal network was a juicy scandal-or maybe
even a murder. What she found was a beautiful woman with a secret.
When the sheriff charges beautiful and wealthy Bryce Clayton with the
murder of Preston Garrett, Lane sees her chance at fame. The only
problem is that Bryce won't say where she was at the time of the
murder. Although Lane is able to discredit many of the district
attorney's witnesses, she still has a problem-the alleged murder
weapon belongs to Bryce.
Can Lane convince the jury of her client's innocence? Or will Bryce
pay the ultimate price for her silence…
Listen to an excerpt from the book read by the author.
Publishing Announcement from Aurelia
Blue Feather Books:
We are pleased to announce that Aurelia has joined
Blue Feather Books. Her book, Possessing Morgan, is
scheduled for release in 2009.
Aurelia is a "dinky di" Aussie, born and raised in
Sydney, Australia, 52 years ago. She has been married
for 32 years and has two grown-up daughters. She has
no fancy degrees or diplomas, having finished
secondary schooling at age 17 and joined the workforce
then. She has worked as a secretary for most of her
working life, taking time off to raise said kids, but
in a variety of interesting jobs such as a working for
a government scientific organization, the fire
brigade, the film industry and for the last 15 years,
with a psychiatrist. As her friends will attest, she
has finally found her niche in this last job, where
she finds many helpful hints for her own state of
mind.
While Aurelia has been interested in writing for as
long as she remembers, unlike many writers she did not
feel the urge to express her own thoughts and ideas on
paper. But the urge finally surfaced, in an internet
chatroom no less, three years ago. Some encouragement
finally pushed her out of the writing nest, and she
spread her wings to fly as high as she could.
Possessing Morgan will be her first published work.
Possessing Morgan:
New York City, in the height of summer. Crime seems to
have taken a holiday, and Detective Morgan O'Callaghan
is bored, bored, bored. Paperwork is mating and
multiplying on her desk, and even a jaywalker is
starting to look good. Anything to get her out from
behind her desk!
Enter Andrea Worthington, Charleston socialite and
all-around rich girl, right down to the wealthy
fiancé. She's also the new Assistant District Attorney
assigned to Morgan's squad.
