What's New With Linda

May 11, 2012 : The Best Mistake has recieved a few new happy reviews:
Romancing the Book said...
"I absolutely LOVED this book. I thought Deri was a girl after my own heart. She’s obviously a hard worker and even though she’s supposed to be a spy, she’s got to be the worst one I have ever seen."

You Gotta Read Reviews said...
"The Best Mistake is a funny, sweet romantic read, with a sad touch; I admired how Deri could remain her kind and considerate self around her “family” who treats her horribly."

Single Titles said...
"I loved Cole he goes from perfectly polished to relaxed charmer once he meets Deri."
In the young adult corner, I'm planning a huge blow-out book blog tour for The Color of Grace to take place October 1st through the 12th, I'm thinking. My list of blogs to contact is about three pages long thus far! So beware....As soon as I get a cover, the promoting will begin!!!!

December 16, 2011 : Wow, oh wow!! The Trouble with Tomboys recieved another review over a year after being published. This time around, it won a top pick from Night Owl Reviews. With a 4.5 rating, reviewer Beth said :
This was an enjoyable read. BJ had a really off beat personality that made the story interesting. It was easy to fall in love with Grady. He was genuine and sweet most of the time. The care he showed for BJ instantly was endearing. The side characters were also charming and funny. Overall, a charming tale for its readers.

November 21, 2011 : I'm celebrating this fine Monday with a new cover and a new review. The Romance Dish called Kiss it Better a story "that will pull at every string in your heart, but also gift you with a laugh and a smile" over on their blog this past Saturday. Their review of my story is sandwiched between a Nora Roberts and Janet Chapman book review. Yeah, imagine that, huh!! Me between those two stars.

And I'm very proud to reveal a masterpiece by cover artist, Amanda Kelsey, called The Right to Remain Mine!!! If you can't see my new book cover on my sidebar to the right there, then you can view it on my books page. What do you think? Yes, I like it to!!!!! Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a lovely holiday week!


November 01, 2011 : Announcing another review!! This time, A Man for Mia recieved four stars. Here's a tid bit of what The Long and Short of it Reviews said (you can go to Mia's page to read the whole thing):
I’m glad I had the opportunity to read A Man for Mia. I recommend it to anyone seeking a touching story of love, loss, and hope. Read it with a box of tissues close at hand.


October 26, 2011 : I just tripped across a new review for The Trouble with Tomboys. Can you believe that? It's been out for over a year, and The Romance Studio still gave it a look. Not just any look either, but a 4-star look! Here was reviewer Jaye had to say:
At first, B.J. Gilmore's rough talk put me off. However, I soon realized that, underneath the gruff exterior, was a kind, loving and very feminine woman. The author has done an excellent job in creating the backgrounds for the main characters. B.J.'s tomboy characteristics, which come from growing up with a father and brothers, but no mother, are well defined and natural to her character. The grieving widower's actions are also realistic and well drawn. The author has written two characters who balance each other beautifully. The settings are excellent, putting the reader right in the scenes, the emotions beautifully done. I loved the way the writer dealt with B.J.'s lack of knowledge of how a female should act. The main characters battle their way into loving one another, right up to a wonderful conclusion.

I really loved this book, and definitely grew to care for the characters.


October 25, 2011 : The Best Mistake has a cover and release date. It will release from The Wild Rose Press on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. page.

I've also learned that A Man for Mia will release a large print version from both Thorndike Press and AudioGo coming here sometime in the future, which I think is totally exciting because this will be the first time one of my stories goes to large print!

October 3, 2011 : There's a contest to win some Linda Kage books on the contest page. And I'm happy to announce KISS IT BETTER received another 4-star review. Here's what Single Titles had to say:
Intense read, you really feel for Reed who has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Sophia is a breath of fresh air, she wants to be there for Reed, but his own inner demons have him conflicted on what to do. Linda Kage takes a difficult subject matter and writes an impressive story filled with hope.


September 26, 2011 : My story, HOT COMMODITY, is a finalist in the 2012 EPIC's eBook Award Contest!! Winners are announced in March.

September 12, 2011 : Kiss it Better received its first review! Sizzling Hot Book Reviews gave it four stars, saying...
With strong characters and a sweet romance, Kiss it Better is a great story to curl up with and enjoy. I would recommend picking it up if you are looking for some down to earth people in real situations that make the best of who they are and what they are faced with.


August 19, 2011 : Kiss it Better is available today exclusively in ebook at Whispers Publishing!!!

August 5, 2011 : I've been talking to a couple little birdies recently and have learned two things: A Man for Mia will be coming out in LARGE PRINT hardback! Whoot! I think maybe that'll happen sometime in 2012. I'll let you know more about that when I found out more! Second, Kiss it Better is releasing in two weeks from today, on August 19th! It'll be available exclusively in ebook. A video will be posted for it within the week.
