Song of the Shaman (Songs of Steppe & Forest Book 2) by C. P. Lesley
I love Historical Fiction, especially when, like this book, the time period has been so well researched. However, I rarely find one written about the 16th Century that is such an easy read. This author kept to a more modern angle when writing the dialogue, and that will make this an excellent read for even … Continue reading Song of the Shaman (Songs of Steppe & Forest Book 2) by C. P.

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

The author guides you along with information and … Continue reading The Highway of Life by Kiyoshi Fish
The Girl Who Could Read Hearts by Sherry Maysonave
This author was at the Texas Book Festival. She was surrounded by people chatting with her so I never did get to meet her but had a very nice conversation with her husband who convinced me to give the book a read. If you believe in angels, this could be a good read for you. … Continue reading The Girl Who Could Read Hearts by Sherry Maysonave
