For immediate release


Just released by Apple for iPhone and iPod Touch:
THE MOST ROMANTIC APP IN THE APP STORE

Love meets technology with the new Love Tarot iPhone app, now on the iTunes App Store. The Love Tarot app features twenty-two of the most seductive love stories of all time—from Cupid and Psyche to Tristan and Isolde—accompanied by relationship-themed tarot readings and lushly romantic art. It brings an irresistible dose of passion to iPhones everywhere.

The Love Tarot app was developed by author-illustrator Kris Waldherr from her novel THE LOVER'S PATH (Abrams Books) and The Lover's Path Tarot. Set in sixteenth century Venice, THE LOVER'S PATH was based on the true story of a famed courtesan and her sister whose secret affairs of the heart are guided by the tarot. THE LOVER'S PATH was praised as "a wondrous story" (The Alburquerque Journal) and as "a visual adventure" (Women in the Arts: The Magazine of the National Museum of Women in the Arts). The Youtube video offers the story behind the app.

Waldherr's other publications include DOOMED QUEENS (Broadway Books) and The Goddess Tarot, which has over 200,000 copies in print. The Goddess Tarot is also available as an iPhone app.

Want to fall under the spell of the Love Tarot app? It's available in both free Lite version and a $2.99 Full version. Download it from iTunes at http://www.loverspath.com.
