The Family She Never Met by Caridad Pineiro
My Review You know how you go to a book festival, hear an author on a panel, and think, “If their writing is half as good as their speaking, this is going to be a treat.” Well, in this case, Caridad Piñeiro doesn’t just deliver—she knocks it out of the park. Back in February, I … Continue reading The Family She Never Met by Caridad Pineiro
greed by Brian Brady
My Review When I see that an author is writing from their area of expertise, I get excited.

The war is over, but instead of coming home to ticker-tape parades or opportunities, these women find … Continue reading The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
Tell Tale Texas By E. R. Bills
My Review The author sets the tone perfectly in the introduction with this line: "This is not a book that many Texans will appreciate. But that, of course, is why it needed to be written." And I would add—why it also needs to be read. This was not an easy read, and it's not meant … Continue reading Tell Tale Texas By E. R. Bills
Echohead by T. C. Waas
The first chapter of Echohead had me frozen—not with suspense, but with sheer confusion. It felt like the author was using fifty words when six might have done the trick—but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what those six words would have been. It was dense, poetic, and puzzling. Then I hit … Continue reading Echohead by T. C. Waas
