The Harlequin Intrigue series starts this month with, The Curse of Ravens Cliff. I have the first book, WITH THE MATERIAL WITNESS IN THE SAFE HOUSE, by Carla Cassidy .but I haven't read it, yet.
There will be a second one in July. I also read Linda Hall's 2nd book in her Shadows series, SHADOWS AT THE WINDOW. They're not really gothics, but they are told in the first person, and they are very good. They are published by Steeple Hill. Allison Knight, who also writes gothics, has a book coming out in August. Check her web site, http://www.allisonknight.com. Also check http://www.joannachallis.com and http://www.evesilver.net. I also found the listings of Amazon.com under gothic novels very good. You could get some older books, some used for only one cent. If you would like me to post any new gothics I find, I'll be glad to.

Happy reading,
Linda

Thank you! This is great!
