Madrigal, and releases the third book in her Sweet Dreams Series.

We get to hear the musical truth on our live Blog Talk Radio-Podioracket show September 9th at 6pm Pacific.

TRUE LOVE is the third book in the Sweet Dreams series. Victoria has an awesome boyfriend, great friends, and her singing career on its way. Are the nightmares she’s been having a warning, or are they just a symptom of her subconscious second-guessing the happiness she is feeling for the first time in her life? Rob gives her even more good news as he whisks her off on a weekend trip planned completely in her honor. Unbeknownst to him, someone from her past has another agenda designed to ruin her for good. Will Rob be able to save her from the devious plans of an obsessed mastermind?

Boy band star Derek Montgomery is falling for Cynthia Porter in a big way, but she’s not sure she wants anything to do with him. Competing with the memories of Derek’s ex and tabloid rumors, Cynthia would rather let go of him than deal with all the drama. Can Derek prove to her that he’s serious and that she’s not just the rebound girl? Find out in True Love. Music provided by: Brad Wait. Cover model: Heidi Kaden

The show starts at 6pm PST/ 7pm MST/8pm CST/9pm Eastern on Thursday, September 9th. Set your reminder for BTR-PR now!

During this show 3 lucky participants will win Sweet Dreams dog tags! Whoot! So get your questions ready and join us in the live chat, or better yet call in live to the show and speak to Emmy yourself. Call-in Number: (347) 996-3319

Rhonda is asking her fans for their help to spread the word about The Mark of a Druid.

Rhonda says,

 ”Where can you put them? Itunes, Amazon, B&N, Podiobooks.com, Podcast pickle; your personal blog is a great place to talk about the book or where ever you can think of to put up a review. I still have not found a way to see overseas Amazon reviews so if you are out of the U.S. please feel free to take a screen shot and email.
This contest is retroactive so if you’ve written a review already just click participate on contest #10 and let me know where you left the review. Same thing for new reviews.
On September 13th I will announce 2 random winners from all those who review it or have already posted a review. What will you get? A lead into the final contest for the grand prize of the original oil on canvas that will be awarded at the end of this year. With this prize you can really see the hidden images on the cover.
Your words mean the world to me and I want to read them.
Good Luck,
Rhonda”
