All the Days of Summer
by Nancy Thayer
"All about facing difficult life choices."
Posted May 3, 2023

First things first let us remember people do not belong to other people. We are not property. Parents often make assumptions based on the life with their children as they grow up. Kids make declarations and promises, but those are written on sand, not in stone. Children need guidance Read more...


The Bride Wore White
by Amanda Quick
"Quirky and fun amid an investigation"
Posted May 2, 2023

Prudence Ryland was a dream reader. A psychic with abilities that passed down through her family. She used these abilities to earn money to keep her grandmother and herself afloat. And then it happened. Prudence was caught in a crime not of her making. In fact, whether it was Read more...

The Seaside Library
by Brenda Novak
"Even small towns have their share of secrets."
Posted April 11, 2023

Three musketeers--that’s the image I conjured up when getting acquainted with Ariana, Ivy, and Cam. Three adults that had been brought up on Mariners a small beach community, were good close friends all through high school. Mariners was the place families go for beachfront vacations. Tourists Read more...

Posted March 7, 2023

Don't Back Down
by Sharon Sala
"Armed with leads as you read this amazing crime novel"

An avid reader for all my life and reading is one of my passions. I’ve been an independent reviewer for several years now and have covered just about every genre from a vast number of publishers and authors. Another perk of reviewing is getting a first glimpse of new and upcoming works from talented authors. As a reviewer I have had the fortune to meet new authors and become reacquainted with some tried and true ones. One of the most rewarding aspects of reviewing is having your work acknowledged by authors and/or publishers. The inclusion of one of my reviews on a book jacket or on an author’s website is a supreme compliment and always appreciated. With the advent and broad adoption of the e-reader the scope of available works to be reviewed has increased exponentially making the job of the reviewer ever more challenging as the selection of works becomes vast beyond belief. My goal is simple – to deliver a fair and honest review. I take this very seriously as I respect my readers and they can depend on my appraisal of fiction as well as various crafts and cooking. My main focus is fiction but occasionally something from another genre catches my eye. Reviews

Re: Heartache Falls (11:34am April 28, 2011):

Okay I'm hooked - definitely have three more books to add to my must read list. Dogs love us unconditionally - you can't really say that about anyone or anything else. My Maxwell will always have a special place in our hearts along with our Coco and Shani. Now we have a rescue grand doggie Annie who loves her little girl sooo much.
