“Your Last Breath” by Carole Parkes and Doug Lafuze

    I was attracted to this book because the blurb said it’s about an author who takes extreme steps to write the perfect suspenseful thriller. Battling writer’s block he finds the only way he can overcome those blank moments in front of his computer is by actually committing murder. This fascinating premise is played out in England and the authors describe their settings well … Continue reading “Your Last Breath” by Carole Parkes and Doug Lafuze

Love Is In the Air: “View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale”

When I started writing this book it was primarily to present a different angle on the assassination of President John Kennedy on November 22, 1963 on the streets of Dallas, Texas.  For years I had believed the shooting was a conspiracy and believed it was likely accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent. I’m not an historian and while I read extensively about the events … Continue reading Love Is In the Air: “View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale”

The Christmas Promise: A Short Story by Mary Marvella

Normally I would not review a Christmas story in the middle of January. However, “The Christmas Promise: A Short Story” by Mary Marvella is so compelling I think it applies to any time of year. Writing about domestic abuse is not an easy thing. If you have experienced it, it is a painful telling. If you have not experienced it, it can be difficult to … Continue reading The Christmas Promise: A Short Story by Mary Marvella

Captivated By The Winter King (Spellbound Hearts Book 3 is the second book I’ve read by Mistral Dawn.
