RULING EDEN - RELEASE AND CONTEST SCOOP
Michelle Picard

Hey folks, my name is Rachel Rieh, the brand new kick-ass heroine from Michelle Picard's new contemporary fantasy release, RULING EDEN. Michelle asked me to drop by and introduce readers to her book. Hopefully she's busy penning the next installment of my and Gabriel's story as we speak, so I'll be doing the honors today. Gabriel, by the way, is my sexy, noble, lethal, half-angel, half-demon hero in RULING EDEN. Everything shining and bright and everything wicked all rolled into one. He's the main reason I survived the first crazy days after I was transported to Eden. But I'm jumping ahead of myself. I'm a bit plainspoken by nature, so excuse me if I get down to the basics.

I'm a Boston gal. Brought up running the streets between being tossed out of one foster home or another. Until the night of my twenty-fifth birthday, when I found out I was the heir to the throne of a magical realm hidden in our world and the most powerful magical being on the planet. Personally, my first thought was that I needed to be committed. But no, turns out I'm sane. Then I'm whisked away through an eerie portal to a place called Eden's Court. Home sweet home. But all is not well in the state of Eden.

As events unfold murder in the Garden of Eden, my magical charges on the brink of warfare with one another Gabriel is willing to support me. It's just our destiny together he cannot face.

That's enough about the story. For the rest, you're going to have to buy the book. It's available now in e-format at the Crescent Moon site and will soon be available in print through Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

So let's get down to the real important stuff A CONTEST. Buy your very own copy of RULING EDEN and read it to find the answers to three questions I will list below. The first three people to email Michelle at michelle@michellepicard.com with the correct answers will win a $25.00 gift card to Barnes & Noble.

Answer these three questions:
1) What color are Gabriel's eyes?
2) What does the dragon matriarch give back to Rachel on her visit?
3) Who attacks Rachel immediately after the shapeshifter funeral?

To learn more about Michelle Picard visit her site at www.michellepicard.com. She will also be offering special contests to folks who follow the link on her website to join her quarterly yahoo newsletter, The Portal. And each person who joins through the month of November gets a package of wildflower seed mix to grow their own Garden of Eden. But watch out. If it's as annoyingly sentient as mine turned out to be, you'll be getting more than you bargained for.

See you in Eden.
