A u 7 9 by Anita Dickason
This book features those people in our world who just seem to have a little something extra. The ability to put people at ease, or know what is going on behind the façade we put up.

This is a very unique perspective on what most see as a sweet, mythological creature, the unicorn. This is a brief book and the start of a new series.

Justifiable Homicide by Jeffrey Warren
I had the pleasure of meeting this author at the Tucson Book Festival. He greeted me by saying he had all 5 star reviews. So, the cynic in me came out. I rarely give 5 stars.
