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.

This review is from: Moon Swept (The Moon Series, Books 3 and 4) (Paperback)

I bought this in the bargain section a month or so ago at a book store. I'm not usually into werewolf books (I prefer vampires), but I thought I'd give this one a try. I mean for just under $4 it had two books in one.

Witching Moon is the paranormal love story of Adam Marshal (werewolf) and Sara Weston (witch). Their supernatural powers are enhanced by the swamp by where they live and bad witches have moved back to town to get revenge on those who forced their families to move out many years ago.

It sounds like it could be an okay read, right? So wrong. It took me forever to get through this book and usually I read really fast (if it is something I enjoy reading). This was worse than assigned readings in high school.

The author way overused the word "probably" and changed the point of view not just each chapter but throughout the chapter too. I was so annoyed reading it I almost just tossed the book halfway through.

I didn't even bother reading the second novel Crimson Moon included in this catastrophe of a paranormal romance book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two paranormal stories in one, September 23, 2007

By 

Sarah N. "Sarah da booklover" (Navasota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moon Swept (The Moon Series, Books 3 and 4) (Paperback)

This omnibus edition contains two books, The Witching Moon and Crimson Moon, the 3rd and 4th books in the Moon series by Rebecca York.

The Witching Moon is the story of werewolf park ranger and a biologist who are targeted by a group of witches. It has all the elements of a satisfying paranormal romance.

Crimson Moon is my favorite of the 2, with the story of the long-thought-dead Marshall brother, Johnny Marshall. Johnny is an environmental activist who is asked to help a beautiful woman, Olivia, recover a stolen artifact. This artifact is needed to keep Olivia's family alive, but it's held ransom by a sadistic, evil man. I loved this story!
