Tigers and tigers and tigers! Oh my!

When I decided to start a blog, my original intent was to promote my own writing and the writing of authors I've grown to love. While I've obviously promoted my own, I have yet to promote another author. I kept thinking, "One day I'll get around to it, but it is not this day."

(Just a little Aragorn reference.)

Well, folks, today it IS that day. 

It is my pleasure to introduce to you the author of the Tiger Curse series Mrs. Colleen Houck!

This is the first book in a series of four (so far - a fifth is planned, but it hasn't sold yet). Here's what you need to know:

Synopsis

Passion. Fate. Loyalty.

Would you risk it all to change your destiny?

The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. But that’s exactly what happened. Face-to-face with dark forces, spellbinding magic, and  mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever.

Tiger’s Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.
 

 "I was wrapped up in the sweet romance and heart-pounding adventure of TIGER'S CURSE.  I found myself cheering, squealing and biting my nails--all within a few pages.  In short, it was magical!"  -Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times best-selling author of HUSH, HUSH



How I discovered this series and why I recommend it:

Almost two years ago, I was casually perusing the YA section at the public library, and the cover of this gem caught my eye. When I read the cover page information, I was actually turned off. Indian curses and tigers weren't my thing. I put it back and moved on. Again and again, I visited the library that summer (I'm a teacher, so I had plenty of time to indulge myself in literary fiction), and I kept seeing this beautiful white tiger staring at me. On one certain occasion, nothing seemed to stand out, so I decided to give this one a shot.

I AM SO HAPPY I DID!

I was almost immediately enthralled in Kelsey's story, and I couldn't put it down. The details Houck infused in the story are so descriptive, so enchanting, that it was so easy, so wonderful to fall into her magical world. And the boys? Oh, the boys! Ren is...well...He's not my sweet Eric, of course, but he sure is something. And for those that trust me on this and continue with the series (TIGER'S CURSE, TIGER'S QUEST, TIGER'S VOYAGE, TIGER'S DESTINY, and hopefully TIGER'S DREAM), you will fall in love with Kishan as well.

The story, the curse, the magic - It will leave you wanting more!
