I have never been disappointed by this author. Katherine Center takes me on a journey with realistic characters who are sometimes wonderful, sometimes horrible. While some of the situations may not be believable, the emotions are dead accurate. Katie is a videographer. One of her co-workers got the assignment to film the Coast Guard guy […]
Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are favorites and really bring characters and worlds to life. Great Big Beautiful Life in a way similar to other books is a character growth and love story. Alice goes to see a wealthy woman who she found after she disappeared 20 years ago after her husband died. The husband […]
Every year I try to be a little better at reading more Indie authors and trying out a few genres I don’t often read. After meeting Matt Posey in the real world, I decided his book A Haunt for Owls would fit both of these categories. As most of you here know I am a […]

Lyndsay Constable has a clever way of blending fascinating historical background including some […]
I love the Sunrise Cove series which is a newer one. Not that I don’t love the older series because I do. This series is set in a beautiful place and has characters which shine. They have the quirky, realistic foibles one can love. The humor and banter is always enjoyable. Olive is a very […]
I always love the Wrexford & Sloane series, with its found family, rugged individuals, social commentary and early scientific developments. It’s a delight and I highly recommend them. The murder happens because various groups want to control a scientific advancement. The science is about building bridges to span longer distances. It is developed using mathematics […]
