This is the second book in this entertaining series. While I love Boo Radley, the unruly mastiff who keeps finding dead bodies, the banter between sisters Olive and Flannery keep the book moving along in an amusing way. Add in a dash of an old flame FBI agent returning, various campy neighbors and the lovely … Continue reading Tea with a Dead Gal, A Boo Done It Mystery by Gretchen Rix

The Girl With Two Souls (Factory Girl Trilogy Book 1) By Stephen Palmer
The first book in this Trilogy gives the reader a firm foundation on the life of Kora/Roka Blackmore. With a nice sprinkling of steampunk accents, I found my self alternating between enjoying the story of the main character and that of the automatas (and thinking of all the great ways I could use an AutoJennie!). … Continue reading The Girl With Two Souls (Factory Girl Trilogy Book 1) By Stephen Palmer
Ming the Merciless by Ralph Rotten
When I saw the author’s tag line on the cover was “Another steaming pile of crap from Ralph Rotten” and since I already read two other piles (books!) from this author, I grabbed this one. While Ralph describes himself as a degenerate asshole, I only see a riveting author who tells brilliant tales. With twists … Continue reading Ming the Merciless by Ralph Rotten
Fireflies and Cosmos: Interstellar Spring Book 1 by J. Darris Mitchell
Wandering the Texas Book Festival is always interesting. This author, dressed in his space traveling attire, presented a captivating pitch for his series.

With characters that you can immediately make a connection with, this book had me reading almost … Continue reading Fireflies and Cosmos: Interstellar Spring Book 1 by J. Darris Mitchell

Stories to Read by Candlelight By Patricia Worth, Jean Lorrain, Authors, Erin-Claire Barrow, Illustrator
This book is a translated version of stories from France in the 1890s. The current author and translator did a wonderful job keeping the old-time feel of the read. With the glorious use of language this is the perfect read for this time of year. The stories have the edge of scary; you know that … Continue reading Stories to Read by Candlelight By Patricia Worth, Jean Lorrain, Authors, Erin-Claire Barrow, Illustrator
The Complete Revision Workbook For Writers – Tools for a Polished Novel By Arielle Haughee
I won this book to pass on to one of my very new to craft authors. It looked like it could be helpful. But before passing it on I decided to read it myself. I’m glad I did because this is now going on my recommendation list for all new and even some experienced writers. … Continue reading The Complete Revision Workbook For Writers – Tools for a Polished Novel By Arielle Haughee
The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
As the Indie Author’s market is developing, I am seeing more and more books that appear just as professional as those coming out of the traditional publishing market. However most of the time the Indies have a better story and this is a perfect example of that. In the theme of great mystery authors, like … Continue reading The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
Stein House by Myra Hargrave McIlvain
This author writes such intensely researched historical fiction that at times I thought it should be considered non-fiction. Having read the first book in this saga quite a while ago I was concerned when I started this one. Would I remember the first one? No worries as I immediately knew where I was in the … Continue reading Stein House by Myra Hargrave McIlvain
The Calling Card Murders By Kathleen Lopez
I finished reading this book over a week ago but have been rewriting this review since then. Let me start by saying this is a very well developed story and the characters were relatable and believable. The main plot of an author’s work turning into real life experiences has been written before but Ms. Lopez … Continue reading The Calling Card Murders By Kathleen Lopez
