The last battle is upon us...

ECHOES IN THE DARK (Luna Books, January 2009) is the final book of Robin D. Owens' award-winning 'Summoning' series that Huntress Reviews said 'is among the most joyful series of novels in any genre. It deserves to be considered a classic.'

Now YOU can choose the name of a character (with a minor speaking part) in Echoes In The Dark.

More, YOU can determine whether this character lives through the final battle with the evil alien Dark, or dies a heroic death.

Note: This is an equal opportunity battle, the character can be male or female. Even more input will be considered from you if you're familiar with the Summoning series. Character name and fate must be chosen as soon as possible as the book is under deadline.

May you all enjoy the Power of your imagination.

Thank you,

Robin

Note: If you use a real person's name you will have to sign a release.

SORORITY 101 Books in the Window at Borders in Boston!


I was so thrilled yesterday at lunchtime when I was walking down the very busy part of Boylston Street in Boston and I saw the window display of Borders. Did my eyes deceive me or were those MY books in the window on display?

My friend, Rebecca, and I got closer...yes! SORORITY 101: ZETA OR OMEGA? and SORORITY 101: THE NEW SISTERS are front and center on their very own display table in the high traffic area.

Wow! Hey...I wrote these!

So, Rebecca and I go inside to find the table filled with pink and green books on a table all to themselves right in the front where all of the new fiction is. Rebecca looked over the books and decided to purchases two of each for her older sisters to read. Take a look at the happy reader.

And here she is with a very helpful Borders employee (who told the woman behind Rebecca to get the books) as she checks out.

Borders came and did the book sale at my launch party on May 2nd and invited me to the store to sign stock. She told me she was going to put some out on the New Fiction table, but I had no idea I'd get my own window like this! The sales people are going to push the books as "graduation presents." Which is a really great idea!

I hope you'll pick up the books and enjoy reading them...or gifting them to a teen that you know.
Hugs,
Marley = )

HUGE TKA NEWS!

All right, we have been sitting on some very huge and wonderful news for about a week. But without further ado I am delighted to post the following press release! Please join in a round of applause for our new TKA family member!!!! :)

The Knight Agency is thrilled to announce that veteran literary agent Lucienne Diver has joined our team. She brings with her a dynamic, bestselling client list as well as fifteen years of experience at New York City’s Spectrum Literary Agency, one of the oldest and most respected firms in the publishing industry. Deidre Knight and the rest of TKA welcome Lucienne as a kindred spirit with her dynamic and vibrant personality and her love of books of all kinds.

Agency President Deidre Knight first met Lucienne more than ten years ago. For Deidre, having Lucienne join TKA is the culmination of that decade-long relationship, both as fellow agents and friends.

Lucienne graduated summa cum laude from the State University of New York at Potsdam with duel majors in English/writing and anthropology. She thus came well-equipped for her career in agenting, and is proud to represent many bestselling authors of fantasy, science fiction, romance, mystery and suspense. Marjorie M. Liu, Susan Krinard, Lynn Flewelling, Rachel Caine and P.N. Elrod are just a few of the terrific names on her client roster.

Regarding the move, Lucienne says, “It’s not easy to leave behind fifteen years at Spectrum, which still has so much of my love and respect. But, in many ways, it was time to leave home and I'm looking forward to all of the opportunities that joining a larger and very vibrant agency will provide.”

Kate Harmon's Debut

We're celebrating not only 1 release by Kate Harmon (aka Marley Gibson but two! Congratulations, Marley!!!

A fresh new series—the Sorority 101 novels will make every teen girl want to join!

High school is already a distant memory for incoming Lattimer University freshmen Jenna, Roni, and Lora- Leigh. Jenna can’t wait to meet cute college boys, Roni can’t wait to get away from home, and Lora- Leigh . . . well, Lora-Leigh couldn’t care less. She’s going to LU and participating in sorority recruitment only to appease her mom. Sorority girls are pretty, rich, and snotty, and Lora-Leigh doesn’t want to be one of those girls. So she’s shocked to find herself actually connecting with the sisters of Zeta Zeta Tau. And her new friend Jenna can relate. She came to recruitment only because her roommate begged her to, but now she can’t decide which sorority to join; she likes them all! Roni, on the other hand, knows which sorority she should join, but she came to LU to reinvent herself. As recruitment progresses and the girls prepare to make big decisions, they’ll need to heed the best advice there is: follow your heart. Now where will it lead?




As freshman year at LU kicks off, Lora-Leigh, Jenna, and Roni are all equally thrilled to have found a home in the Zeta Zeta Tau sorority. Lora-Leigh still can’t believe she’s wearing a sorority pin and, what’s more, that she and her new sisters have become so close so fast. Roni already loves her sorority, so when it comes time to elect a new member president, she can’t keep herself from adding her name to the ballot. And Jenna can’t keep herself from being in two places at once! The girl has a full load of classes, a demanding antisorority roommate, a marching band scholarship to uphold, and lots of sorority activities to attend. How’s a girl supposed to appease everyone and everything—not to mention strike up a romance with a very hot fraternity boy—all the while keeping her diabetes hidden? Lora-Leigh and Roni are there for her, but initiation is on the horizon and Jenna must decide if she really trusts her new friends enough to share her secret.


Keep in touch with Kate/Marley, visit her group blog Books, Boys, Buzz.... And if you've already inhaled Zeta or Omega and The New Sisters, you can also preorder the third book of the Sorority 101 series -- The Formal -- available October 2nd.
