Here’s the blurb: I must stop hotshot developer Bryce Covington from cutting down the trees, especially the oak tree, in the glade he owns near Lake Michigan. The oak tree has grown there and been my home for over 300 years. I only have five days as a human in a woman’s body before I must resume my existence as a tree spirit in the oak tree or be stuck in this human body.
It gets worse. Bryce and I walked the earth together in this glade when it was New France some 400 years ago. It ended horrifically with his slaughter before my eyes. My paralyzing grief over his death and losing his baby propelled me to my life as a joyous tree spirit.
I want him and he wants me. But, I must fight our consuming passion and stay focused on stopping him. He would never believe me if I told him about our pasts that he has no memory of…and what I truly am, would he?
My body comes alive at his touch. He is determined that I stay and determined he will cut down the trees. And I must stop him. I will stop him any way I can.
I have one more in-person event this year at the Troy Public Library. It’s so much fun to talk with readers and authors. If you are in southeast Michigan, stop by and say hi!
The pic on the very bottom of this post is me with my first two published romance novellas at my first book signing. I was so nervous that nobody would come to the indie bookstore, Paperback Outlet, which was then in Warren, Michigan. I discovered Paperback Outlet when I was a newspaper reporter covering a book signing at the indie bookstore, which was near our newspaper office.
Owners Annie and Gaye graciously hosted newbie me as the only author signing. They had, in the past, hosted big name authors like Suzanne Brockmann and Nora Roberts. Annie gave me the best advice — to write longer stories. My first eight books were novellas. I gave it a try. The next five were between 40,000 and 60,000 words. I will be forever grateful to them for giving me a start. Talented photographer Julie Snyder, a colleague at the newspaper, took my picture.
Julie also did the cover of my first novella, Under the Riptides, a paranormal merman romance novella in my five-book series. Julie was the model for the cover, too! I bought her photograph and the publishing house I was with approved it for the cover. Since I bought the photo, I can use it again when I release it again. I have obtained the rights back to my first eight books and can’t wait to put them out there again! Stay tuned.
The first pic at the bottom of this post is my current stock at the last book signing I did in September. I have published 14 books to date. The middle pic is the fun graphic for the book signing coming up.
In other news, thanks to all who purchased Reaching for Forever when it was on sale for .99 Oct. 14! I was a number one bestseller on Amazon. Yay!!
My latest release, Into Thin Air, a short and spicy romance novella, has some of my favorite tropes – surprise baby, mistaken identity, workplace romance, and instalove. It’s included in the Fussy Librarian stack of free books on November 1. Here is the link:
It’s also free in Kindle Unlimited after the sale.
A bit about it: Drew is a player and leaves behind a string of women in the Rocky Mountains each summer. He was supposed to be my one and done vacation fling, not my oops baby daddy and principal of the high school where I teach kids Shakespeare. I ran away rather than believe he fell in love with me at first sight. Can I give him my trust and my heart, or is our relationship destined to end as star-crossed as Romeo and Juliet? I hope you like it!
Into Thin air by Tara Eldana My current stock is displayed in my new display unit. The Troy Public Library Local Author Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sat., Nov. 16. Romance author Tara Eldana waits for potential readers to stop by at her first book signing at Paperback Outlet.

Starting tomorrow, “In the Depths” e-book will be discounted to $0.99. Becca Paxton spends her days covering news on Hawaii’s Garden Island and her nights asleep in the arms of her Ethan, dream lover. He’s a merman who knows her destiny lies with him, under the waves. Can he convince her he can make her dreams come true? Can she leave everyone and everything she knows on land to be with him? https://www.amazon.com/Depths-Tara-Eldana-ebo…/…/ref=sr_1_1…
Another mermaid tale (pun intended), my merman, Gareth, a shark fighter who doesn’t want to be tasked with bringing Ainsley under the waves, is probably my favorite leading man (or merman) yet. And I love all my heroes.
This is scheduled for release Oct. 20. Stay tuned.
