    If you loved "Spell-Kissed" you have to read "Sloan's Witch." If you haven't, you'll want to read about the other delightful witchy sister as soon as you finish "SLoan's Witch."

    Willowtree is filled with local Arizona color and the slow pace of retired life, except when it gets exciting. Though not a golfer, I wanted to drop in on the Willowtree Golf Club and have a lemonade with Bruce and his cronies to see if he was getting involved in any new murders or mysteries. Within a few pages I felt I knew Bruce and his Apache friend Ben. By the end I was hoping his dog would stay healthy and wondered if he would stumble over any more dead bodies and if his wife will become a good golfer and maybe beat him. I loved the clever little surprises in the humor.A perfect cozy for reading in an RV or when you can’t get out on the course. A hole in one for Mike Bove and his first book.
  • Stories We Keep: A Yoga as Muse Anthology on Dec. 14, 2011
    star star star star star
    Vital voices of five story keepers flow like a warm vinyasa revealing raw emotion, sometimes mystical, and always authentic. Five of the three pieces are excerpts from unpublished novels that hopefully will soon flame in full. Each writer came alive in her answers to questions posed. What tied her yoga practice to her writing and who she is in other roles, what brings her to the fire, and how she likes to cook her yams. I’ve always considered yams the perfect writers’ food, forming an easy snack or filling meal. Prepared ahead and then topped with sugary maple syrup, tangy ginger marmalade, sweet apricot jam, or a spicy salsa, they satisfy, nourish, and feed the senses, like this YAM anthology.
