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

Happy Everything (Merry Hanukkah Series) by Debby Caruso
I fell in love with this author and her characters in her first book. It was as if she had taken some pages directly from my life (Rhonda with her list making, organization, always trying to make everyone happy and feeling guilty if they are not, hits way too close to home) – so I … Continue reading Happy Everything (Merry Hanukkah Series) by Debby Caruso
The Horse and Mr. Hyde (A Black Beauty Short Story) by Matt Ferraz
When I worked as a librarian my favorite stories for storytime were fractured fairy tales. So when I read the description for this short story, I was keen to get started. Told from a clever point of view – the horse’s - this short story packed in a lot of legends. What if Dr. Jekyll … Continue reading The Horse and Mr. Hyde (A Black Beauty Short Story) by Matt Ferraz
Never Been More Free by Jill Stacey
I had the pleasure of chatting with this author at the Indie Book Fest, and she graciously gave me her book and a clever butterfly bookmark! This author created a visual tale within her book. By changing the fonts used for chapters centering around different characters, the reader can easily transition to the next phase, … Continue reading Never Been More Free by Jill Stacey
A Timed Wager (The Lost Trinkets Series Book 1) by Sherrie Lea Morgan
In August at the Indie Book Fest in Orlando, this author was offering this novella at a special price. Never one to pass up a deal I bought it and let’s just say it was a steal. Think a box of trinkets with a past, someone who can read the past and a twin sister … Continue reading A Timed Wager (The Lost Trinkets Series Book 1) by Sherrie Lea Morgan
Dear Lorna: A Love Story by L. E. Perez
I heard this author speak at the Indie Book Fest (now Orlando Reads Book Group). I go with my gut when I hear authors speak and I found this articulate person very engaging. She writes a wide variety of genres and I was trying to figure out which one I would like to read when … Continue reading Dear Lorna: A Love Story by L. E. Perez
Breaking the Flame (#3 Shadow’s Fire Trilogy) by Christopher Patterson
This is the last book in the Trilogy, and I have enjoyed all of them. The central character Erik continues his journey and his maturing along with discoveries of evil lying in wait. The complicated and brave Dwarfs are here in full force and Erik has learned to listen to his dagger. A well-done conclusion … Continue reading Breaking the Flame (#3 Shadow’s Fire Trilogy) by Christopher Patterson
“I Was Just A Radioman” The Memoirs of a WW2, Pearl Harbor Survivor, Compiled by Pamela Ackerson
Wandering the aisles at the Indie Book Fest in Orlando, I noticed this book. Non-fiction for me is a treat and something I reward myself with when the fiction world is surrounding me. This book may be small but it is mighty in its story and photos. The pages contain a collection of memories and … Continue reading “I Was Just A Radioman” The Memoirs of a WW2, Pearl Harbor Survivor, Compiled by Pamela Ackerson
