Red Drink, Fashion Girls

First Review In! Publishers Weekly on SORCERY

SORCERY AND THE SINGLE GIRL will be in bookstores near you on September 25.  Yesterday, I received my first review, from Publishers Weekly:

Sorcery and the Single Girl
Mindy Klasky. Red Dress Ink, $13.95 paper (384p) ISBN 978-0-373-89563-2

Klasky emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and having faith in friends and family in her bewitching second romance featuring fledgling witch Jane Madison (after Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft). Young librarian Jane believes getting into the elite Washington Coven, ruled by the prodigious Teresa Alison Sidney, is of major importance. If Jane wants to hold on to her familiar, her valuable book and gemstone collection and David Montrose, her hunky protector and instructor, she has to meet the coven’s standards for knowledge and skill. When slickly seductive Graeme Henderson starts laying it on suspiciously thick, and David insists that friendly coven witch Haylee can’t be trusted, Jane must decide what’s most important: trying to impress the popular coven snobs, or taking control of her power and doing what she knows is best for herself. Klasky’s moral lesson is obvious, but readers who identify with Jane’s remembered high school social angst will cheer her all the way.

Hmmm...  Bewitching second romance....  Yeah, I can live with that!  :-)

Mindy, off to work on the third!

Red Drink, Fashion Girls

Second Review

At the risk of overwhelming my blog with postings today...

Romantic Times has reviewed GIRL'S GUIDE and given it four stars!  Their review reads:

"This is an irresistible tale of power and love, friendship and acceptance.  The main character's constant and often rambling internal dialogue is suprisingly charming and insightful, endearing readers to her playful quirkiness and private insecurities...."

(Thanks, [info]a_vogon_poet, for alerting me to the review!)

Mindy, pleased as punch

And the first reviewer speaks...

Harriet Klausner, as always, gets in the first review for GIRL'S GUIDE:

"The story line is fast-paced as Jane balances her normal life as a librarian and family member with her bewitching new life that attracts males like Pooh Bear to honey. Mindy Klasky provides a beguiling enchanting chick lit tale, a refreshing story line that casts a spell on readers."
