BOOK 5: NO GOOD DEED: BRONZE IN HISTORICAL ROMANCE GENRE
Book 5: No Good Deed has been awarded a Bronze in the Historical Romance genre at the 2017 Readers Favorite Awards!
Part of the review for the book says:
Mary D. Brooks’ historical fantasy, No Good Deed: Intertwined Souls Series, Book 5 is well-written, impeccably researched and absorbing. I was most impressed by the author’s ability to weave the women’s story in with the historical backdrop of the war and the Nuremberg Trials. The flowering and impact of Eva’s paranormal gifts, which have been passed along through her family for generations, is described in a sobering fashion with the past stories of her and her aunt’s electro-shock therapy sessions in German asylums for the condition, adding another grim reminder of the costs of being considered ‘different’ at that time in history. No Good Deed is a family saga that will delight fantasy and historical novel buffs alike. It’s highly recommended.
But wait there’s more….

Sallie’s Book Reviews blog interviews authors about their books. Sallie suggested I do an interview with one of the characters of the Intertwined Souls Series.
Interesting.
So I chose Zoe (who as we all know is not short of a word).
Interview with Zoe Lambros by Mary D. Brooks, author of In the Blood of the Greeks has now been posted on Sallie’s site.
What questions are there for Zoe to answer?
1. Tell us a little about yourself and your background
2. Do you have a nickname?
3. How did it feel when you first realized that you had tender feelings for someone that you hated so passionately? I don’t imagine that it would have sat comfortably with you, knowing that anything you feel, you feel strongly
4. Did you wrestle with this new feeling that was incompatible with your existing attitude towards Eva and was it a conscious choice to allow that feeling to gradually develop?
5. Was there a definite point that you can identify where you yielded to love and decided to let any remaining hatred towards Eva be washed away by that love?
6. Let’s talk about Eva a bit more – When you think of Eva, what comes into your mind?
7. It’s obvious they didn’t succeed since you’re with Eva now, right?
8. What makes you laugh out loud?
9. You have a motorcycle but you no longer ride, are you ever going to ride a motorcycle again?
10. When you think of home, what’s your favorite memory?
11. What is the best Christmas present you have given to Eva?

The Intertwined Souls Series has been very dear to my heart since 2001 when “In The Blood of the Greeks” was first published. For many years the only plan was to have two books in the series written and to end it there.
Sometimes we get more than we anticipated (or even thought we wanted) and this is true for my characters of Eva and Zoe. In 2014 Book 3 “Hidden Truths”, Book 4 “Awakenings” were published and in 2015 Book 5 “No Good Deed. They proved to be a change in direction for the series from purely historical romance to urban fantasy.
In my defense all I can say is that I had no control over my characters. You can blame Zoe for all of it! Eva just stayed quiet on the subject.
Since opening my own publishing company and publishing my own novels, I’ve decided to restructure the series and split them into two different genres – Historical Romance and Urban Fantasy.
