This book won Best in Self-Help/Inspirational, and after reading it, I can understand why. Using her own story as a base, the author easily leads you along the pathways that she richly describes and illuminates. While many self-help books tend to tell you how easy a change can be, this author has a much more … Continue reading Thriving Not Surviving: The 5 Secret Pathways To Happiness, Success and Fulfilment by Gina Gardiner

Wandering around the Texas Book Festival, I came to a booth with Indie Authors from all over the country. Even New Jersey? Well, when I heard that, this Jersey Girl had to meet the author.

The Mage-Lord’s Legacy (The Constellation Saga, #2) by Kay MacLeod
I’m very glad I invested the time to read the first book in this series as it laid a perfect platform for diving off of and into this story. This was a wonderful continuation of the Constellation’s story. The book picks up with Kitty and her “team” trying to get more Urns – but the … Continue reading The Mage-Lord’s Legacy (The Constellation Saga, #2) by Kay MacLeod
Midnight Black – The Purge by R. J. Eastwood
I chose this book to end my year. Not because of closure but because of what I hope will lead to more great reads from this author in the coming year. A large portion of this quick paced book takes place in the main character’s mind. This unique perspective gives the reader insight that would … Continue reading Midnight Black – The Purge by R. J. Eastwood
Trespass by Chris Miller
Having read another book by this author (CLICK HERE) I was curious when this novella came across my radar. While this book did not have the scare of the last one it did have something that may be even more nerve-wracking. This is an intense read of basically one event that happens over an afternoon … Continue reading Trespass by Chris Miller
Ice On the Bay (#3 Howard County Mysteries) By Dale E. & Kathleen Lehman
This is the third in this series and the third book I have read by these authors. You see some of the books I read each month, but you don’t see the 6 or so that never make it to a blog or the ones I am proofreading or editing. So, if I keep coming … Continue reading Ice On the Bay (#3 Howard County Mysteries) By Dale E. & Kathleen Lehman
Valbore Tasks of the Nakairi Book 1 by K. E. Young
While average in size this book starts out reading like the intense tomes of over 1,000 pages (It’s only about 330!). The characters and locations are rich in the feel of well-done fantasy, and those great Dragon themed books that can place you into the story. At its core, this is a story of inner … Continue reading Valbore Tasks of the Nakairi Book 1 by K. E. Young
Beasts Beginning of the End Vol. 1 by Ana Levley
I recently spent 3 weeks in San Diego, and while I was there, I had the opportunity to have a nice long chat with this author. Her book, blog, and personable conversation convinced me to read her book. In full disclosure I am a partial Vegan, which I know to Vegans means that I am … Continue reading Beasts Beginning of the End Vol. 1 by Ana Levley
A Fateful Greed (Joe Robbins Book One) by Patrick Kelly
I had the pleasure of meeting this author at the Texas Book Festival. When I saw the cover, with the Pennybacker Bridge and it was set in my hometown of Austin, I knew I needed to give it a read. While all of that attracted me to the book, the story of Joe kept me … Continue reading A Fateful Greed (Joe Robbins Book One) by Patrick Kelly
