AVOID THE \'WINTER BLUES\' WITH DIVINE INTERVENTION

    /24-7PressRelease.com/ - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (November 22, 2004) - With winter on its way and Christmas just around the corner, curling up with a 'hot' novel just might be the answer. Edmonton author, Cheryl Kaye Tardif, offers a "scorching" solution to those cold winter nights. Divine Intervention, Tardif's new mystery thriller, promises to "leave you smoldering…and dying for more".

From Back Cover: CFBI agent Jasmine McLellan is assigned a hot case—one that requires the psychic abilities of the PSI Division, a secret government agency located in the secluded town of Divine, BC.

Some tips from Cheryl Kaye Tardif on how to heat up your winter:

* Crank up the fireplace, and then bundle up on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate and Divine Intervention.
* Step into a steaming Jacuzzi. A glass of wine and Divine Intervention will keep you warm for at least an hour.
* On those blizzard-like nights, slip into comfortable P.J.'s, pour a cup of hot chai tea, and settle in for a night of marathon reading…Divine Intervention.

For those of you who are not into suspenseful thrillers and serial arsonists, check out Tardif's debut novel, Whale Song. This emotional mystery has captivated men, women, boys and girls, worldwide. Whale Song will make you remember what it was like to be a teenager", and will inspire you to value your loved ones even more during this holiday season. Whale Song has captured the interest of a leading Canadian film producer, and it may find its way to the 'big screen' yet.
