  • Prophecy's Queen: An Epic Fantasy on April 29, 2015

    I couldn't put it down. I read and read until it was gone and I wanted MORE. As it happened though Prophecy's Queen is a prequel it is the first book that i have read of the series. So being given the opportunity to be a beta-reader was right on time. I am so glad I did. I can't wait to pick up The Watchers to continue in the saga. I love the characters and how the Princess got her man. It was so special that she did it in the manner she did which made it all the more special. (Don't want to spoil it for you). I love the old Wizard who shows up all over the place. I do want to know why the sorceress is so upset and what exactly did she give up? You will love it too. I couldn't put the book down and neglected all of my grandma and mother duties for the day just to get thru it. My mother used to tell us to take a trip when we were bored which was her way of directing us to a book. Your books definitely allow me to take that trip. She has since passed on but my love of books has remained. Here's to a long life of trips thru your books.
  • And Then Something Cool Happened on June 07, 2015

    I won this book in exchange for an honest review. While the short stories are varied and pretty good they are just that. And I agree with the other review that the book gets progressively better with each story. I am glad I was able to read it.
  • 1 Night on Dec. 05, 2017

    Talk about a first impression gone all bad. Loads of fun and so much more. He was a mess drunk out of his mind and she needed a break. One wild night for him confessions for her and a bond is made. She needs a fresh start, he needs to sober up. Great fast read to start off a new series.
  • Bless Her Dead Heart on July 25, 2019

    What I love about this author is you never quite know what's coming when you read her books. This isn't a pretty or happy story in fact in a round about way it's about atonement and truth. After one more traumatic event in this young ladies life after all her dreams and wishes have gone astray now we learn the facts of how she got here. With flashbacks we get it all along with the happenings in the present. Thrown into a battle she has no idea how to win we get to see her in action and meet Jeronimo. This story includes some real dark stuff along with the paranormal and it's blended so well the seams between reality and paranormal interlace with supreme skill, this author tell us a story of deaths, abuse, rape, lies, guilt and deception and the resulting damage. It's so well done that you find yourself falling into the rabbit hole and hoping for something to change, for it not to be happening. This isn't a romance, or sweet story. The truth will come out. When it does, all the towns people and good church goers will say at once Bless Her heart, just like the good southerners they are.
