| Hounds of Ardagh A new book by Laura J. Underwood titled THE HOUNDS OF ARDAGH is due for release on September 23rd from Five Star Press/Thomson Gale. Ginny Ni Cooley never desired more than the simple life she had. Living in Tamhasg Wood, she used her magic to occasionally assist the folk of Conorscroft while putting up with the machinations of the ghost of her former mentor, Manus MacGreeley. But her peace is shattered one night with the arrival of a lad fleeing a pack of red-gold hounds led by a hound-shaped demon known as Nidubh. So much for peace and solitude. By rescuing Fafne MacArdagh, Ginny becomes wrapped in the fabric of an intrigue involving a family feud, a traitorous son and a bloodmage named Edain who is determined to keep her soul. It was she who cast the spell on Fafne's family and household, and transformed the MacArdaghs into hounds. Ginny gives Fafne her word to take him to Caer Keltora so they can report the matter to the Council of Mageborn. But Edain is determined to keep her secret and her soul intact, and moves to thwart Ginny at every turn. For Ginny Ni Cooley, who has faced many bogies, dealing with a demon, a bloodmage and the Dark Lord of Annwn, will be no easy task. But she will do what she must to undo Edain's spells. If not, Manus' soul will become part of the Arawn's Cauldron of Doom. Ginny will become a feast for a demon, and poor Fafne will join the Hounds of Ardagh for all eternity. Library Journal will have a review of HOUNDS in their September 15th issue. Romantic Review Today will have a most favorable review up on their website September 25th. You will be able to purchase copies of HOUNDS through your local bookseller or online at Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com or any other store. Oh, and if you would like a peek at the cover...: http://www.sff.net/people/keltora/HoundsFinal.jpg Enjoy! Laura J. Underwood |

| Re: Hounds of Ardagh Gorgeous cover! The leather-and-wood look and the last-lingering-light glow make me want to settle back in a comfortable chair and become engrossed in your characters' tale. And that tale sounds mightly tasty, too, Laura. |

| Re: Hounds of Ardagh I just got a copy of the forthcoming review in Library Journal. They Love Me!!!!! Seriously, they gave it a thumbs-up review. That's a relief. In the wake of DRAGON'S TONGUE, I was a little afraid they would not like this one as much. Looks like they liked it even more/ Wheeeeeeee! Laura J. Underwood Author of Dragon's Tongue |

| Re: Hounds of Ardagh Three more reviews of HOUNDS have shown up in my email. One from Love Romances & More (http://www.loveromancesandmore.com/r...agh_shaiha.htm), one in Romance Reviews Today (http://www.romrevtoday.com/Fant-Sci%...h_09-25-06.htm) and one from SFRevu (http://sfrevu.com/php/Review-id.php?id=4329) I am rather amazed to see the romantic review sources giving it a thumbs up, as I would not have thought there was enough romance in the book to make it worth their time.
