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 4.5 stars, June 20, 2007

By

This review is from: Hopscotch (43 Light Street, Book 6) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #213) (Mass Market Paperback)

One minute, Noel Emery is helping out her uncle Henry in his antique jewelry shop. The next, she's in the middle of international intrigue with assassins after her, the word chaos keeps popping into her mind, and apparently, she has a husband she she doesn't remember: Jason Zacharias.

The Good:
The action. It's page-turningly exciting.
The twists. I couldn't predict what was coming next, though they did make sense.
The characters. Both Noel and Jason were very believable and reacted consistently with their characters as drawn.

The Bad:
The science. The only reason I called this 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that I had trouble believing the science, particularly the implanted memories.

The Verdict:
A LOT of book packed into a slim category. Page-turning, exciting, and emotional. Typical Rebecca York.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who was Jason Zacharias?, July 6, 2005

This review is from: Hopscotch (43 Light Street, Book 6) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #213) (Mass Market Paperback)

That riddle was the key to Noel Emery's frightening predicament. Ever since she'd arrived in Britain, she'd been plunged into chaos, pursued by assasins. And her guardian angel was a seasoned veteran of murder....and a man who claimed to be her husband.
Had Noel once shared lovers' caresses with the dark, dangerous Jason Zacharias? Or was the straining sensuality between them just an illusion? The answer was locked in the best of all hiding places - her mind. A mind that now scrambled fantasy and memory.
Noel's only way out of the maelstorm was to trust her heart - and her life - to a man who pretended to be a protector but who looked every inch a predator.
