I had the pleasure of meeting this Author at the Texas Book Festival. His booth was almost directly across from mine, and the cover of this book stared at me for two days! My eyes kept going back to it, but I could not find the time to walk over and pick it up. Luckily … Continue reading The Ordinary Doll by Mario Kiefer

Marigolds and Murder (#1 Port Danbury Series) by London Lovett
This was the perfect introduction to a “new to me” cozy mystery series. The main character, Lacey pulls you right in with her tossing the fast city life to open a flower shop in the small town. The supporting characters have an easily familiar feel and enhance the plot. Her pets, (although I think Kingston … Continue reading Marigolds and Murder (#1 Port Danbury Series) by London Lovett
I’m BAAAAACK!!!!!!
For those of you wondering where I have been (and those who didn’t!), I was traveling for almost a month in Belize with very little access to the internet. This blog is about what I have been reading as well as a few of the sites I visited. Instead of getting new books for my … Continue reading I’m BAAAAACK!!!!!!
Black Iron by Franklin Veaux & Eve Rickert
Snarky comments, underlying humor, sarcasm – if that’s your thing – this is the perfect book for you and me! A rare 5 stars!

The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
I get asked, a lot, why I read Indie Authors when there are so many “proven” authors and best sellers out there. This book is one of the main reasons. The book was laid out and presented in a way that shows the time and effort this author dedicated into creating his book. He also … Continue reading The Last Titan by Craig Wainwright
Memoirs of a Guardian Angel by Graham Downs
This perceptive, novella is a sweet and simplistic tale that gives the reader an insiders’ view to life as a Guardian Angel. I did not realize that even they have bosses! This spiritual rather than religious view gives all readers a chance to examine and contemplate the idea of guardian angels. The main character, Adam … Continue reading Memoirs of a Guardian Angel by Graham Downs
