I want to thank everyone for such a nice response to our first official romance day; I was stunned. Let’s get right to this novel as it’s something that really found a place in my mind and heart very quickly. I guess

having a wife and seven daughters rubbed off on me a little and I was able to

channel my feminine side during this read. I really am enjoying the historical

romance category. I am going to try others, but right now I am grooving on this

for…

I have been reading much more sci-fi and paranormal then I usually do, I have no idea why. That being said, I thought I would just start to get into a groove and sit back and enjoy the reading. I hit a couple winners

for this week. Today I am featuring Christopher Payne and his debut The Gargoyle Prophecies. Debuts are a

mixed grab bag; this one sits near the top. The plotline is different from

anything I have read or seen about gargoyles. He…

The sci-fi, paranormal parade continues with another barnburner that is a series. Trust me, when you read this you will be glad it is a series, there is so much info, backstory, and plotline crammed into this

installment, reading the next two is a must. The plotline is complex, the

reading enjoyable and fun; there are just so many facets and elements to it.

Without further ado, here is the synopsis of the novel:

“ An explosion…

Things are starting to heat up as we get to see some big names getting their novels out there for the coming holiday season. Here they are in no special order:

-Jeff Kinney/Diary of a Wimpy Kid- The Ugly Truth #5

-George W. Bush/ Decision Points

-Judith Durant/Sock Yarn One –Skein Wonders

-David Baldacci/Hells Corner…

Right off the bat, this doesn’t read like a freshman effort at all. Death Notice is an excellent novel and I am really looking forward to the follow up, if there is one. Todd Ritter has put together a fun, compelling

read that contains all the right elements to make just about anyone that enjoys

this genre of novel happy. Have I piqued your interest at all? Hopefully. Here

is a look at what to expect once this novel grabs you and pulls your inside:…

Over 200 people packed the hall in Portsmouth to hear best selling crime fiction authors pitch their wits against police and forensic experts in a unique event the first ever Crime and the City CSI Portsmouth held as part of Portsmouth Bookfest on 6 November.

Lovers of crime fiction and CSI television programmes came together at John Pounds Community Centre in Queens Street, Portsmouth, to hear crime authors and crime experts debate…

I am going to have to split some hairs on this one. The title Flashes from the Other World is for a grouping of short stories by Julie Ann Weinstein; it is not just one story. The way I have justified using it

today instead of on Digital short Saturday (where it could also fit), is that

if you get the e-version of the book you

can read as just that, a bunch of digital shorts. This is a very eclectic grouping

of stories, but I think that for the…

We are going with a double shot of fun with two digital short posts today. The first one is The Kindly Stop Café brought to us by Stone House Ink. The other digital short we have is a self-published work by Julie

Ann Weinstein. I need to stay focused here. Mark Maciejewski has put together a

very compact, concise, and moving narrative in The Kindly Stop Café. It really

hits the mark and then some. To be honest with you, I am still thinking about

it. I…

What a blissful Saturday, I've been up since six, drank a few cups of coffee, and had a delicious slice of Panettone (a big slice of Panettone) and I will spend the rest of the day writing. It doesn't get much better than that. Panettone and coffee are perfect together.…
