MARCH NEWSLETTER
Back from the brink…
I want to apologize for disappearing for the last two months. My dear husband became seriously ill right after Christmas and was in the hospital for several weeks. We are just getting back to a normal life after the ordeal. He is doing much better, but recovery will take some time, so I’ve had to curtail some of my activities. I wanted to pass along my sincerest thanks to those of you who were there for us during this very trying time, especially my family who really rallied to help us through this. I love all of my wonderful friends and family more than you could possibly know. Anyway, I’m back…so here’s the news! Minnette :)

RELEASE OF STARSTIGHT III am so thrilled to announce the release of STARSIGHT II, the second book in the Starsight Duology. Here is a blurb and link for an excerpt. If you have read the first one (Starsight I), this will complete the story.
STARSIGHT VOL. II - BOOKS III & IV - War ravishes the Imperium, held together by the valor of ancient warriors and the devotion of the empire's elite. Trenara no longer trusts the power that has turned the boy she once loved into a man she no longer understands. He frightens her. Joshan's ascendancy grows every day as he leads them to Sirdar's domain. The monster has prepared a welcome that none of them expects and Joshan knows he is endangering them all. Sacrifices are made; bonds are broken. The line between good and evil are blurred in the blood of the innocent. Will Joshan use the power to rescue his world or will a new tyrant sit upon Sirdar's throne?

RELEASE OF THE EDGE OF HONOR IN PRINT The Edge of Honor has been released from Resplendence Publishing. This is the second book in the Centurion series and I'm very excited about its release. Below is a blurb and links for excerpts. It will be available through Amazon, Powell's Books, and for order through Borders and Barnes and Nobles. It's already received a wonderful review from Fallen Angels: "Minnette Meador adeptly weaves in Roman and Celtic words and references, adding realism to this harsh world. Fans of The Centurion and the Queen will not be disappointed. ~ Five Angels, Fallen Angel Review"
The Boudicca revolt has been squelched; the tribes of the Iceni and the Trinovantes exterminated by the Roman Governor of Britannia, Suetonius. He has sworn his revenge on the remaining tribes for the Celtic insolence. Marius and Delia are now King and Queen of a broken Celtic tribe, and Marius has to use all his skill and cunning to help his hunted people as they flee before General Suetonius' sword. Reluctantly donning the mask of the liberatio mysticus, the "phantom" that hides the scattered tribes, the couple recruits Marius' ex-Roman century and what few Celtic warriors that remain to face the deadly Roman machine. They struggle to keep their people together and prevent the rest of a nation from fading into history. But they are threatened by secret plots, jealousy, and a new enemy that hammers a wedge between them, a wedge that even an unborn child may not be able to dislodge when Marius falls under the charms of Delia's sworn enemy. Sacrifices will have to be made to save their people, to keep the nation together, to survive the Roman rage. In the end, it may be more than their love or their lives they lose.
