Each living on the edge of their worlds but finding some peace with each other. In this book, the characters have really come into their own. … Continue reading The Mercer Street Murders: A Bennett & DeMarko Mystery by Aaron S Gallagher

An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco
This book took me a little time to get pulled into the story. I think it was because of the unique writing style. Instead of the recent adaptation of least amount of words to convey a thought – this author expands and enriches each sentence with adorning words to decorate the thought. However, once I … Continue reading An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco
The Doctor’s Wife by Myra Hargrave McIlvain
I first got a glimpse of this author at the Texas Book Festival and picked up her non-fiction book Texas Tales. When I saw her again at the Wimberley Book Fest, I knew I needed another and picked up this book. Myra is an incredible storyteller. Her Historical Fiction read as a nice blend of … Continue reading The Doctor’s Wife by Myra Hargrave McIlvain

Island Casualty (An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 2) by D. R. Ransdell
This is the second book in the Andy Veracruz Mystery series.

Desert of Solitude: Refreshed by Grace by LaShawnda Jones
The centered, self assured look of the woman spreading her arms in what I perceived to be joy – caught my eye and enticed me to read the back cover of this book. The summary says this book is an exploration and that is true on many levels. The author shares memories, events and thoughts … Continue reading Desert of Solitude: Refreshed by Grace by LaShawnda Jones

Evidence of Desire by Jessie Scott
OMG – the first chapter pulled me in, surprised me and made me want more but all the other chapters kept me reading. If you read my blog you know I can be a little picky when it comes to really great romance. It is rare that I even read this genre but to have … Continue reading Evidence of Desire by Jessie Scott
Book Cover Design Formula by Anita Nipane
The old adage that "You can't judge a book by it's cover" certainly is true. Unfortunately, with so many books available to read, browsing the cover is a tried-and-true means to whittle down the choices (of course, reviews by trusted sources are important too). I read a lot books published by independent authors. Far too … Continue reading Book Cover Design Formula by Anita Nipane
In the Weeds by Ruthie Robinson
Full disclosure – I have read every book this author has written and you know I am incredibly selective in my romance reads – around 5% of my yearly reads. But if I see this author’s name – I’m sold. She is the reason I started reading Indie Authors as the quality of her writing … Continue reading In the Weeds by Ruthie Robinson
