Looking for some realistic characters? Start right here with Trisha – she’s not 20, or a size 2 and her life is less than perfect – I really enjoyed her. Having a husband who is a master swimmer, yet myself more of a doggie paddler, I enjoyed this book letting me see an insider's perspective. … Continue reading Dead In The Water (Book 1 A Trisha Carson Mystery) by Glenda Carroll

The Last Sketch by Gosia Nealon
If you have been reading my reviews you know that I love a great character and this new-to-the-scene author has given this book several great characters. The main character, Wanda is being pulled in a variety of directions as the world is being torn down around her. While taking the reader right into the horror … Continue reading The Last Sketch by Gosia Nealon
Democracy of Dollars: Where Natural and Constitutional Rights Go To the Highest Bidder by Richard Jacobs
This is an intense read. Not just because of the subject matter but because of the high level research and presentation that went into the book. I read this book in small batches to give myself time to comprehend and concentrate on the issues addressed. While the author says, it is not a law or … Continue reading Democracy of Dollars: Where Natural and Constitutional Rights Go To the Highest Bidder by Richard Jacobs

Democracy of Dollars by Richard Jacobs
I had the please of reading this book last month but was waiting for it to be released to not only wish the author a Happy 90th Birthday! But also to tell you how much I enjoyed this book. This is not a pleasure read – it is a necessary read. This non-fiction work was … Continue reading Democracy of Dollars by Richard Jacobs
Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
I have read every book in this series and it just keeps getting better. However, I do have to admit that this was my favorite so far. I would even go so far as to say read it first. The author gives the reader enough backstory that it could be read on its own. However … Continue reading Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
Midnight Black: Revised and Expanded by R. J. Eastwood
Since I enjoyed this book when it was first published, I was interested to see the changes the author incorporated into this expanded version. The author has definitely taken it to the next level. Fused into the story are ideas and events pulled from headlines during the last few years. The quick paced read is … Continue reading Midnight Black: Revised and Expanded by R. J. Eastwood
Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
In full disclosure, I had the pleasure of editing this book. I edit, beta read, and review many books (over 300 in the last two years). But specific authors and their works stand out – and this one certainly is in that category. The author is writing from a vast knowledge covering a wide variety … Continue reading Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
Welcome to the Punkhorns by Benjamin Bradley
I had no idea what a Punkhorn was before I started this book. Now – I think I may just avoid them if I ever see them. This was a well-done mystery inside of a mystery with some wonderful subplots and characters. Urban legends are at the heart of this story, and their belief by … Continue reading Welcome to the Punkhorns by Benjamin Bradley
Ulrik by Wendy L. Anderson
I am a fact person, and it takes a lot for me to ‘believe’ when reading any type of Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Time Travel. This author is one of a handful where I can ‘believe’ the story. As is the style of Anderson, you are immediately enmeshed in a beautifully described world and characters. Anderson writes in full … Continue reading Ulrik by Wendy L. Anderson
