Good news this morning! N. N. Light’s Book Heaven gave my new release 5+ stars! Here’s a snippet of the review:

“An intoxicating gothic paranormal mystery…The world-building was impeccable and classic Judith Sterling. The paranormal aspects were brilliant…I couldn’t put this book down. Highly recommend!”

If you’re interested, you can read the entire review here. Readers’ Favorite also gave Trip the Light Phantasmic five stars:

“A delightful and original story that follows Gwyn as she falls down the rabbit hole into a gothic world where she finds mystery, romance, and magic.”

Paranormal Romance Guild gave it five stars too:

“Such a unique story…I have no doubt you will be as engrossed as I was.”

All in all, this is a great start for the new series, and I’m deeply grateful to my readers and reviewers. Now I need to get back to work on the detailed outline of the second book in the series. Have a wonderful week! 🙂

FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN ~ Five Stars from Readers’ Favorite!

I woke up this morning to a five-star review from Readers’ Favorite for Flight of the Raven, the first book in The Novels of Ravenwood medieval romance/time travel series. Woohoo! Here’s a little of what the reviewer said:

“Set in northern England in the early 1100s, Flight of the Raven by Judith Sterling reminded me of the earlier works of authors such as Virginia Henley, one of my favorite historical romance authors. Although the book was a quick read, I found myself easily drawn into the period as well as the lives of the characters. The historical touches were woven in nicely and didn’t detract from the storyline. I particularly enjoyed the added elements of mysticism that were still present at the time, as well as the healing practices of Lady Emma.”

Even though I’ve completed the five-book series, it’s nice to know the one that started it all is still touching readers. Trip the Light Phantasmic, the first book of my new gothic paranormal mystery series, will be ready for preorder soon. I can’t wait to show you the cover!

I’ll keep you posted. Have a beautiful day and weekend ahead! 🙂

Great news! I woke up this morning to learn The Cauldron Stirred earned a five-star review from Readers’ Favorite. Woohoo! Here’s a bit of the review:

“The dialogue is fantastic with descriptive details and attitudes that give a little extra spark to the tone of the story…Delightfully Irish, The Cauldron Stirred delivers a rich and original take on Irish mythology through a coming-of-age journey that has romance, destiny, and family.”

As you know, The Spear Alight–the last book in the Guardians of Erin series–was recently published. It’s wonderful to know the first book is still making a positive impact. If you’re interested, you can find buy links here.

Now, I’m off to continue writing Trip the Light Phantasmic, the first book in my new gothic cozy series, The Gothic Gwyn Mysteries. Wishing you a beautiful day and weekend ahead! 🙂

N. N. Light’s Book Heaven has given my new release 5++ stars! I’m so excited! Here’s a bit of the review:

“This is the crown of excellence…A brilliant conclusion to the series, [it] is a must-read. It can be read as a standalone, too. Fans of Diana Gabaldon will swoon over Return of the Raven.”

If you’re interested, you can read the whole review here.

Wonderful things have happened recently with this series. In previous posts, I mentioned Shadow of the Swan‘s five-star review from Reader’s Favorite and Night of the Owl‘s second-place win in the Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Awards. But a couple of weeks ago, Flight of the Raven had some real success at international Amazon stores. It became the #1 best seller in medieval historical romance in Canada and Australia, and it reached #2 in the UK. It was also #82 in Canada’s whole Kindle Store. I couldn’t believe it!

Flight of the Raven is still available to reviewers on Booksprout for a limited time. If you’re interested, check it out here.

That’s all for now. I need to get back to writing The Spear Alight, the fourth and final book in my Guardians of Erin series. Have a beautiful day!  🙂

 

 

SHADOW OF THE SWAN ~ Five Stars from Readers’ Favorite!

Good news! Shadow of the Swan received 5 stars from Readers’ Favorite! Here’s part of the review:

“Shadow of the Swan by Judith Sterling is the third book in the Ravenwood series. It will appeal to lovers of historical romance and magic-based novels. I loved everything about this book, from the plot to the writing style. The plot was so unique and captivating that I longed to read the first two installments. Judith developed this story with such historical accuracy, a laid back vibe, and some refreshing medieval flavor. I also enjoyed the language usage, which felt very Shakespearean. The story had depth, displaying themes like patience, bravery, deceit, empathy, and more. A tangible lesson I took from this novel is that bullies and tormentors thrive on their victims’ fear. Banish the fear, stand up to them, and they’ll lose their power. I look forward to reading more books from Judith!”

Needless to say, this made my day, and I’m grateful the reviewer enjoyed it so much. Hope you have a lovely day, too!  🙂
