More About the Author

"[Rebecca York's] books. . . deliver what they promise: excitement, mystery, romance. . ."
- Michael Dirda, Washington Post

An award-winning, best-selling novelist, Ruth Glick is the author of over 100 books. Writing as Rebecca York, she has authored or co-authored over 50 romantic suspense novels. The first of her Berkley Sensation paranormal romantic suspense novels, KILLING MOON, was published in June 2003; EDGE OF THE MOON followed in August 2003 and WITCHING MOON in October 2003. KILLING MOON and EDGE OF THE MOON were launch books for the Berkley Sensation imprint.

She writes the popular 43 Light Street series for Harlequin Intrigue. Over 30 Light Street Intrigues have been published. NOWHERE MAN was called "one of the most heart-wrenching, moving works of romantic suspense in several years," by reviewer Harriet Klausner.

Ruth's many awards include two Rita finalist books. She has two Career Achievement awards from Romantic Times: for Series Romantic Suspense and Series Romantic Mystery. NOWHERE MAN was the Romantic Times Best Intrigue of 1998, and the book has been selected as one of their Reviewers' "all-time favorite 400 romances." In addition, she received the 1998 Affaire de Coeur's Critics Choice Award for Best Contemporary Novel, also for NOWHERE MAN. Ruth's book, KILLING MOON won the 2003 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award for best Paranormal. AMANDA'S CHILD won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for Long Contemporary and was nominated for Best Intrigue of 2000 by Romantic Times. "Tyler" in BAYOU BLOOD BROTHERS won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for best Novella. In 2007 THE SECRET NIGHT received the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for best Harlequin Intrigue. Ruth's cookbook, 100% PLEASURE, was picked by USA Today as one of the 12 best cookbooks of 1994; her FABULOUS LO-CARB CUISINE was a finalist for the MidAtlantic Publishers Association's Excellence in Independent Publishing Award.

Several of Ruth's Moon books (WITCHING MOON, SHADOW OF THE MOON, and NEW MOON) have been on the USA Today best-seller list.

Ruth and her husband travel frequently to research settings for novels and taste new dishes for cookbooks. Her many unique experiences are apt to end up in her books--like the time she encountered a coral snake in the Guatemalan jungle or took a flight in a hot air balloon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow--Light Street and Familiar in one book. What a deal!, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: After Dark: Counterfeit Wife (43 Fear Street) / Familiar Stranger (Fear Familiar) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #525) (Harlequin 2-in-1 Novella Collection) (Mass Market Paperback)

No faithful Intrigue reader will want to miss this volume, a rare two-for-one that's worth a lot more than the cover price. Ruth Glick proves that the incredible "Nowhere Man" was no fluke and that she's perfectly capable of carrying the Rebecca York name by herself in "Counterfeit Wife." Opening with high drama and never letting up for a moment, Ms. Glick provides twists and turns and more than a few surprises in this tale of how the past can catch up with us. Meanwhile, Caroline Burnes packs so much action, emotion, and suspense into "Familiar Stranger" that it's amazing that this isn't a full-length book by itself. With an unusual hero and our favorite feline detective in action, it's a secret child story with Ms. Burnes' unique storytelling style. You almost wish "After Dark" was released in the winter, since these two stories are destined to heat up a dark night.
