Books have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father read to me at bedtime from when I was very young, even after I could read. He didn’t confine the stories to popular fairy tales. Yes, there were Little Golden Books. But there was also “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, and Sherlock Holmes stories. … Continue reading Three Books
I’m a fan of Paul White’s writing and eagerly read any new release. Most of his books are suspenseful thrillers. This “Bite Size Read” I recently dove into offers a new side to this creative author. Set in a small community on a Scottish island, the tale centers around a man who wants to escape the big city filled with bustling masses. How many of … Continue reading “The Shed” by Paul White
There’s nothing I enjoy more than a well written suspense filled thriller. Even if I suspect where the story is headed, if the writing is good, I’m all in. “Going Hunting”, another bite size offering from Paul White, fits that description. Once again, this author artfully develops his main character. Our nameless central figure appears to be “Everyman”. In today’s busy world where most of … Continue reading Going Hunting
“Free Spirit” is the third Bite Size Read by Paul White that I’ve read. I’ve become addicted to these short tales. They are my bedtime treat. So far, this is the shortest story in the bite size series. But. don’t let the length of the book fool you. It packs as much punch as the lengthier stories. White does more in seventeen pages than other … Continue reading “Free Spirit – A Bite Size Read”
One of my favorite writers recently released a series of books in a great new format. These are longer than flash fiction and shorter than novellas Paul White says. What he doesn’t say is they are tightly written with amazing character development in the two stories I’ve read so far. The first of these little gems I read was ‘Daisy and the Chocolate Factory’. I’ve … Continue reading Bite-sized Reads
I have read many books by author Paul White and have enjoyed his style. Dark yet humorous, White delivers a twisted tale with a grin in his novelette “North to Maynard: An Electric Eclectic Book”. Told in the first person, Simon and his girlfriend Libby are headed north to Maynard. What starts out as a casual journey takes a bizarre turn when the Sat-Nav (or … Continue reading “North to Maynard: An Electric Eclectic book” by Paul White
While looking for a quick bedtime read about a haunting, I came across “The Haunting: An Electric Eclectic Book” by one of my favorite authors, Karen J. Mossman. It was irresistible. Cassidy Newbold is psychic. As she puts it on the first page of the story, dead people speak to her. When a “huge” motorbike racing sexy guy approaches her in a local café … Continue reading “The Haunting: An Electric Eclectic Book” By Karen J.Mossman
Once again author Paul White has tantalized me with a sultry thriller laid out so craftily I didn’t see the turns coming. His latest Electric Eclectic Novelette, A New Summer Garden, delves into the twisted minds of his characters, exposing the dark underbelly of greed and deception hidden by beauty and wealth. In the beginning, we meet Sam, a seemingly not very bright laborer, … Continue reading “A New Summer Garden: An Electric Eclectic Book” by Paul White

With her parents dead, her eldest brother in charge, and her other brothers barely dealing with their loss Mandy takes off on her own telling no one she is leaving. Eight years later while watching television she sees her photo along with other missing people. Found!: An Electric Eclectic … Continue reading Found!: An Electric Eclectic Book by Karen J. Mossman
I’m a big fan of Paul White’s writing. It’s imaginative and quirky, sometimes terrifying, sometimes humorous, sometimes both simultaneously. I particularly enjoy his novelettes through Electric Eclectic. His writing is sharp and concise while containing all the elements of an enjoyable tale well-told. The Amulet: An Electric Eclectic Book is all that and more. White introduces us to protagonist Mark on the first page. Along … Continue reading “The Amulet: An Electric Eclectic Book” By Paul White
I write southern historical fiction, local history, and I've written a devotional book. The two novels I'm writing are set in Virginia and the Carolinas in the 1760s. My weekly blog started out to follow my journey as a writer and a reader, but in 2025 it has been greatly expanded to include current events and politics in the United States as I see our democracy under attack from within. The political science major in me cannot sit idly by and remain silent.
