5 Angel Review for DRAGONS' CHOICE

I'm so excited! Marci just emailed me a link to the Fallen Angels Review for Dragons' Choice!

LeeAnn gave Dragons' Choice 5 Angels!!!!

Here's a quick snippet of her comments:

The characters are beautifully crafted, and draw the reader quickly into their world. There is danger, adventure, humor, and you can feel the air rushing across your skin each time the dragons take flight. The plot moves quickly, and holds your attention with the special kind of magic I have enjoyed in Ms. Mumford’s previous works. I will be waiting for each new installment of this series as we discover the fates of all of Sorcha’s children.

Read the complete review here.

Yeah! Seeing Red is out now


At long last, my romance is out from Freya's Bower!
I can hardly believe the book is available for people to read and buy. Thanks to my editors at Freya's Bower, this is a very powerful story about a woman coming into her own. And best of all, its the first in a series of three books. Those other faces on the cover? They belong to Maddy and Beverly Heartly and they have stories too.
Here's the blurb for Seeing Red:
Owning a bed and breakfast is Emma Heartly’s dream, but without a clear title she can’t afford the rehab of the abandoned family dwelling. To prove herself to her younger sisters, Emma moves in and begins renovating the two-story house.

Quentin Stone much admires the classic lines of the crumbling Victorian and its red-haired owner. Though Emma can’t afford to hire Stone Construction, he volunteers to help her after-hours.

Despite family interference, they lay the foundation for more than a B&B, but troubles follow. Can they overcome past mistakes to find happiness?

Mark your calendars!



Coming March 25th!


Faeries come from all cultures and countries
and range in appearance from lovely to terrifying
to looking like an everyday person.
Some are benign, some malevolent.
Based on actual faerie lore, this anthology
incorporates the work of five spectacular authors
who have penned tales of iridescent ice beings,
fey men who love you into forgetfulness,
frightening creatures who wear caps of human skin,
enchanted lovers from a long lost era,
and the land of faerie dreams.
Step into the world of glamour where
the beautiful, the dreamy, the vicious,
and even a bit of the sexually bizarre
will captivate you--
but beware of the fey's beguiling ways!




The authors of the faerie anthology, In the Gloaming, will be celebrating our release day at Brenda Williamson's Romance Party Yahoo loop. We'll be posting excerpts, and talking about our stories and the faerie lore that inspired them.


We'd be pleased if the entire FB family would join us on March 25th. We'll be posting throughout the day, so stop by any time and say hi. Help us throw some cyber confetti. There will be virtual champagne for everyone!

Wishing you a happily-ever-after,

Yowser, I've been tagged!

by Maggie Toussaint

Tagged! It's a bit like that game of chase when you were a kid. You feel that touch on the back and your heart sinks cuz now you know you have to be IT. In this case, being IT isn't so bad. Thanks to Chris Columbus, I got tagged today.

Since I was working on this tagging post anyway, I posted it here as well because we have so many wonderful writers at Freya's Bower. I stay so busy I don't get out and about as much as I used to. I hope this helps us to start getting better acquainted.

In accordance to the rules of tagging, I'm to tell 7 things about myself that you might not know. Here's my list of 7:

1. I’m shy. You probably can’t tell because I enjoy internet marketing, but in real life, I run out of things to say astronomically fast. (That’s why I R a writer)

2. My husband hates going to the movies with me because I talk back to the screen. We rent movies and view them at home now; sometimes he fusses at the characters who do stupid stuff too.

3. I teach yoga twice a week. This is a recent development, and it came along much like my accidental newspaper reporter career. I’m letting serendipity guide me in my choice of careers these days.

4. I have 3 sisters and I’m the baby girl. But my brother is the true youngster of the family. That leaves me 4th of 5 children, a person without a clear path, someone who meanders through life. Are we starting to see a pattern yet?

5. I think of myself as calm and placid, but I’m actually a fire sign (Sagittarius) and I get quite riled up by injustice. Lately I’m on the warpath against my neighbor with his four hunting dogs penned up underneath my bedroom window.

6. My feet grew when I had kids. Other parts of me grew too, but I try not to look down because it’s discouraging.

7. When I was growing up my friends dubbed me the fudge queen because that’s the only food I knew how to cook. When I got engaged my best friend threw me a recipe party so my husband wouldn’t have to eat fudge at every meal.

Okay, that's 7 personal things about me. Hopefully you already know that I had an upcoming release from Freya's Bower titled SEEING RED, as well as releases from other publishers.

Stop by my website and read more about me!
