A Dying Billionaire, a Mysterious Recluse and a Woman Hunted by a Sadist Equal a Winning Combination in Lancelot's Lady, a Romantic Suspense by Award-Winning Author Cherish D'Angelo

    NEW YORK, NY, May 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cherish D'Angelo's debut romantic suspense Lancelot's Lady, which has not been published yet, has won its first official award--the Editor's Choice award from Textnovel.com. Novels are selected for this award "based on writing quality, originality and publishing potential," according to a message the author received from the Textnovel.com Editorial Team, which includes literary agent Stan Soper.

Last year, D'Angelo's novel competed in the Dorchester Next Best Celler contest and placed in the semi-finals. Readers voted Lancelot's Lady as #1 Most Popular in the contest for the first 3 months and #3 Most Popular for the remainder of the contest. It is still one of the top 5 most popular novels on Textnovel.com.

Lancelot's Lady:
A Bahamas holiday from dying billionaire JT Lance, a man with a dark secret, leads palliative nurse Rhianna McLellan to Jonathan, a man with his own troubled past, and Rhianna finds herself drawn to the handsome recluse, while unbeknownst to her, someone with a horrific plan is hunting her down.

The good news is that Lancelot's Lady is slated for publication on September 27, 2010. "It'll release first as an e-book," D'Angelo states. "I'm hoping a publisher will pick it up for a print edition later."

Now that the iPad, Kindle, Kobo and other e-readers are all the rage, the demand for quality e-books has been high, and D'Angelo is more than happy to have Lancelot's Lady added to e-book catalogues come September. It is expected to be available via Kobo Books, Smashwords and Amazon's Kindle.

Though Lancelot's Lady is D'Angelo's debut romantic suspense, she's no stranger to readers. Cherish D'Angelo is best known as bestselling Canadian suspense author Cheryl Kaye Tardif. Tardif adopted the pen name when she decided to venture into the romance genre. "Already my advance reviewers are loving my venture into romance as Cherish D'Angelo. I think Cherish is loving it too."

So why the pseudonym? Tardif has a simple answer. "It's important to me to keep the two genres I write separate. Cherish writes romance with more adult sensuality--not erotica though--while Cheryl writes suspense thrillers (and YA) that may hint at intimacy or have shorter scenes with less detail. And Cherish's novels are set anywhere in the world; Cheryl's have at least one Canadian setting."

Tardif's novels have won other awards, including 2 best book cover awards for Whale Song, a Gold Star for Excellence award for Whale Song, a finalist award for her novelette Remote Control and an Editor's Choice award for a poem. Nominated for the 2004 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Award, she also won a PSA (Public Service Announcement) award for her televised script on racial harmony titles One Voice ~ One World, which aired across Canada.
