Audacious (Kris Longknife) is the fifth book in this military science fiction series. Tired of being the target of assassins, naval officer Kris Longknife takes leave for some well-earned and well-deserved rest and relaxation on the world of New Eden. But her military status requires her to be on hand at societal functions–where she discovers that New Eden isn’t the paradise her superiors were led to believe….

Praise for the Kris Longknife novels from Elizabeth Moon, Nebula-Award winning author: “A whopping good read…Fast-paced, exciting, nicely detailed. “

Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette, with a degree of apparent effortlessness that is astonishing, have pulled off not one but several very difficult things in A Companion to Wolves.

The first, and by no means the least, is the sometimes vexed collaboration issue. I have read co-authored books in which I could have chopped out and parceled into neat little piles the bits that belonged to the various authors because the voices simply never gelled enough to produce perfect seamlessness. Here, it just doesn’t even matter. It flows. The two authors work as one; it’s not so much cooperation as a symbiosis. A job very well done.

The second is the worldbuilding….The storyline is gripping… the writing is exquisite, and the book is destined to be a classic of its kind.

Read the whole review.

As reported on Publishers Marketplace:

Patricia Rosemoor’s new book in the author’s popular McKenna Legacy series, to Denise Zaza at Harlequin Intrigue, for publication in April 2009, by Jennifer Jackson of the Donald Maass Literary Agency.

“Michael Egan comes to Ireland to investigate recent thefts and murders connected to a mythic Celtic jewelry collection. The woman who owned most of this cursed set is murdered, and her family accuses Irish jewelry designer Flanna McKenna of being involved in the theft and murder. Even though he doesn’t believe her claims that she’s psychic, Michael thinks she’s the best bet for finding the perpetrator. Patricia Rosemoor’s soothing pace fits in well with her lyrical Irish dialogue and fascinating myth-making. In Name Only? (4.5) is a first-rate, old-fashioned paranormal mystery with gothic overtones.”
