This Week’s Trading Card For Romance Writing With A Twist Books!

It’s a new week, which means a new trading card for The Book Nook, my own category of collectible cards for my Romance Writing With A Twist Books.

This week’s book, number 40, is UNCOVERING CAMELOT, a contemporary romance mixed with a dash of Fantasy/Paranormal.

At the end of the Blog you’ll find the digital card that you can click on and save to your device.

Here’s a blurb about UNCOVERING CAMELOT:

An urgent summons resurrects Merlin the magician to once again meddle in the affairs of men.

 Amazon.com and Smashwords.com

A VACATION RUINED--Heather Woods suddenly learns her boyfriend, Connor, cancelled their summer plans. Determined to forget about him, she visits her flaky godmother, Nerissa, instead, for an impromptu vacation. Nerissa insists that Heather has a healing gift, something Heather doesn’t believe. But when she experiences visions... hallucinations... or whatever her jaunts back to Camelot are, she fears for her sanity. Meeting a man that might actually be Merlin the magician, and his very attractive nephew, Matthew, along with assorted other characters convince Heather that she’s in the middle of a strange, metaphysical phenomenon.

A VACATION CHANGED--Judge Matthew Limner also finds his vacation plans changed. He receives a call from a long-lost Uncle Mallory--so long-lost that he hadn’t even known Mallory existed. Mallory flies in from London, and expects to go sightseeing with Matthew. Resigned, Matthew plays the host. First stop: the Stonehenge Memorial in southern Washington. A chance encounter--or is it?--with Nerissa and Heather convince Matthew that something much more than coincidence is happening in this tiny corner of the world.

Here are some fabulous reviews:

5 Stars! A delightful woven romantic fantasy to Camelot. Heather Woods can't wait to spend her holiday with her boyfriend Connor, that is until he cancels, jetting off to spend time with his friends. Determined not to let the breakdown of her relationship spoil her holiday Heather decides to visit her godmother Narissa. Matthew Limner is off fishing, or so he thinks, until his uncle turns up and changes his plans. Irritated at entertaining his uncle from England, Matthew isn't in a place to find love, but there are mystical forces here that are too strong to be ignored. Woken from slumber Merlin needs to take action if Camelot is to survive within the modern world. Gwenny/Heather must chose a husband, and it needs to be the right one... This tale into Camelot is delightful, I really enjoyed how the author wove this old tale into a modern world, where magic is nothing but a fantasy, along with Camelot... or is it? I found this book easy to read, with characters that held many surprises.--Vine Voice

5 Stars! Absolutely delightful! Another wonderful addition to the works of Ms. Knight! You don't have to be a resident of Washington state to enjoy the trip to the Stonehenge replica overlooking the Columbia River at Maryhill. Ms. Knight paints a visual picture with her words while weaving a love story with ties to Camelot! >From the first page to the last, you will be mesmerized with her characters and her plot! I had a hard time putting this one down!--Visionary Insight Press

One of my favorite books of Ms. Knight!! I could barely put it down!!”--Reader Comment

FINISHED CAMELOT!! It is sooooo good! Love love loved it!--Reader Comment

OMG! I am loving this book so much! You are so talented. THIS is my favorite so far!! I've got a few more chapters left, and I can't wait til Monday to finish it, so I'm taking it home tonight! LOL-- Reader Comment

I hope you enjoy Heather and Matthew’s strange adventure, and also the third of this digital card series, UNCOVERING CAMELOT.

 Eating at Valentin's Bistro can be hazardous to amateur detective Minx Tobin's health,

so why does she continue to dine at this restaurant?

 Available at Amazon.com and Smashwords.com

 TO LIVE... AND DIE IN L.A.

Newly relocated Minx Tobin likes to help her friends. She also has a knack for solving puzzles. A huge puzzle in the form of a dead body soon gets dropped into her lap. Did waitress Brandi Evans murder her ex-boyfriend? Minx doesn't think so, but can she crack the Case of the Bloodstained Bistro?

Overworked homicide lieutenant Gabe Harris has his fill of women... and dead bodies. The women he can handle. The dead bodies -- unfortunately they keep piling up. But on this particular case he meets a young woman that not only impedes his investigation, but she also has no interest in him. A healthy ego like his can't handle that. He'll have to keep an eye on Ms. Minx Tobin.

NEW FEATURE: Trading Cards For My Romance Writing With A Twist Books!

Trading cards or collectible cards have been around for a long time. Very often these cards are associated with different sports, musical groups, television series, games, cartoons, or even humorous Valentine’s Day cards. I’m a collector of some of these trading cards, and just recently, I decided to start my own category--The Book Nook--specifically for my Romance Writing With A Twist Books.

I’ve shared a few of these digital trading cards with some of my readers, and surprise! The numbered cards are quite popular. Now I’d like to share them with you! At present I have 67 unique titles, soon to be 68.

Instead of starting with the number one, I’ll be using a random number generator to feature the first book for this Blog. This week, the number is 48, my contemporary/paranormal short story “Family Secrets.”

At the end of the Blog you’ll find the digital card that you can click on and save to your device.

Here’s a bit about “Family Secrets”:

Sometimes secrets can reveal your true love.

Available at Amazon.com and Smashwords

Talia Fanetti longs for true love. She’s just gotten engaged to eligible bachelor Edmund Bartholomew, so she’s all set in the love department.

Or is she?

On a romantic getaway in the country, she learns her future in-laws live in a house awash with secrets. Talia soon makes a startling discovery: she has a secret as well. When Grandmother Bartholomew offers Talia a chance to find out who her true love is, will Talia have the courage to use the magic spell?
