Featured Post: Cat Killed A Rat by Regina Welling Erin Lynn

About Cat Killed A Rat:

Nothing bad ever happens in Ponderosa Pines

That’s what anonymous gossip columnist Chloe LaRue and her best friend, town matriarch EV Torrence thought. But then, Luther Plunkett, a handyman with aspirations, raises a stink over building regulations, and promptly turns up dead.

Small-town mysteries have a way of snowballing out of control for someone who has been seen arguing with the now-deceased at a public function.

Before the body gets cold, EV becomes suspect #1 in the murder, and not even Chloe can stop the rumor mill from churning. Not since the founders argued over naming it Ponderosa Valley after a ranch on an old TV show, or Whispering Pines for the trees surrounding it have the residents of Ponderosa Pines been so divided.

Against Detective Nate Harper and Deputy Dalton Burnsoll’s orders, Chloe and EV mount their own investigation—but what they uncover might just rock the community to its very core. Could one of their own beloved citizens really be a killer?

If you like humorous cozy mysteries set in Maine, best friends solving mysteries, and quirky characters, Ponderosa Pines is the place for you!

When parents receive the news that their child has autism, they spend countless hours researching the subject, usually at night, after an exhausting day. Teachers, when they hear that they’ll have a student with an autism spectrum disorder, also try to learn as much as they can.
These novels were written for such parents and teachers – entertaining reads that are fun, yet still offer strategies and information on autism.

What Are Reviewers Saying?

– “A gem of a book”
-” A true delight – Highly, highly recommended – Just couldn’t put it down”

-” I loved this book from beginning to end – Just plain awesome”
– “I could feel the author’s passion – What a great way to learn about autism”
– “Entertains, entrances & educates: 3 for the Price of One!”
– “This wonderful book is about a Dad, Ben, meeting his autistic son Kyle for the very first time, when Mom dumps him suddenly on his doorstep, saying she can no longer take care of him. Through the eyes of Ben, we get a glimpse of both the challenges and joys of being a parent of a child who sees the world in different ways.”
– “Unlike some stories that speak of autistic children, this one brings a wealth of hope and information! As we look over Ben’s shoulder, we see a glimpse of the learning tools currently being used in the classroom today, and we get glimpses of things that could be helpful in the day to day life of an autistic child.”
– “I appreciated this story on several levels. First I enjoyed the story of Ben discovering what it means to be a parent, especially a single parent. Second, I enjoyed watching Kyle find his own means of success in this new and upside down world.”
– “I enjoyed the glimpse into classroom life and options available today. Finally I enjoyed the quiet romance between Mel and Ben.”

About Verdicts and Vows:

She stepped back to open the swinging double doors. She glanced into the hall, heard laughter, and knew Josie was tickling Lizzie in the playroom. That’s when she heard it, and that’s when she turned and bolted through doors. Then she felt it tear into her breast and fell to the ground.“Oh my God, no…Meg!” Becky yelled and started to run toward her when she felt something slam into her head. Her glasses fell to the ground and she followed.A man wearing a ski mask was swinging his rifle around at them, while the woman in the white mask closed the blinds. She told him the ruse worked. Opening with an attack on the family bakery, three masked men torment those inside stacking up charges of attempted murder, sexual assault, armed robbery, and vandalism. The robbery tears through both families, who stand divided when rendering their verdicts. First for the motive exposed by the suspects, and then for the victims, who have secrets of their own. More fear engulfs them when a baby arrives early, and a child runs away. A steamy affair sparks friction just as the two families are forced together again through the wedding of Tim and Vee Crawford’s granddaughter to Zeke and Georgia Hayes’ grandson. The first union of the two bloodlines ended in tragedy. What storm will strike this time? ‘Verdicts and Vows’ watches the Crawford and Hayes families grow together twisting and turning like a Juniper tree. Finishing book two, readers will get a glimpse into the unfinished narratives waiting to end the trilogy.

Featured Post: Vex and Valor by Debra Myers

1 Comment

About Vex and Valor:

It is the story of two families from different sides of the track. – Tim and Vee Crawford are the parents of four children who are lifelong residents of Brookton, PA. Georgia and Zeke Hayes struggle to make ends meet after moving four of their seven children there from Tennessee. They become intertwined through the marriage of their two youngest children – Ella Crawford and Ben Hayes.
The story begins with a fight between the married couple. The argument is overheard by their two young children hiding in a closet with their 10-year-old daughter watching through a crack in the closet door. Following the altercation, a neighbor finds Ella unconscious with no witnesses as to what happened to her.
As Ella fights for her life, both she and Ben’s families gather, all waiting on word of Ella’s condition and looking for answers. Many believe it was an accident, while others, who know Ben is an alcoholic, think Ben was drunk and pushed her.
The book is written in 2 sections. The action of the first section begins in 1969 and takes place over two days. The chapters are short, moving from character to character and place to place. Section 2 takes place 15 years later over a period of three days.
Throughout section 2 we watch the families become even more entangled and continue to search for answers about Ella. We see the Crawford and Hayes grandchildren grow into adults. The story comes to a climax when the truth is finally revealed.
If you love Vex and Valor, the saga of the Hayes and Crawford families will continue!

About Strings: A Love Story:

The Merino Rose.
Ted Spencer has a hard enough time believing the celebrated violin really exists. To find it sitting on his coffee table is nothing short of incredible. The stuff of legend, the exquisite Guarnerius has been missing for centuries.

But even though the renowned instrument is a violin lover’s dream come true, it holds only heartache for Ted. The value of the Merino Rose may be beyond measure, but he has acquired it at too high a cost.

Ted found his soul mate when he met Olivia de la Vega his senior year in high school. In the school’s production of Camelot, Ted was cast as Lancelot, Olivia as Guenevere. They should have spent their lives together but strings got in the way—family ties, career objectives, and the tangled web of fate.

Will the Merino Rose bring the two star-crossed lovers together at last, or will their love always remain the melancholy sound of distant violins?

“About Where do you go to:

When the young Marie-Claire wakes up in Rome, she has no idea who she is or how she got there.

Her tale of adversity starts in the biting cold, her past unknown and her future uncertain. Our heroine gets adopted from the Marcigliana orphanage by a French diplomat, initiating a journey of self-discovery across post-World War II Europe.

In Athens, she discovers a talent for ballet, which gets elevated to greater heights when the family moves to Moscow at the height of the Cold War. Marie-Claire blooms into a social butterfly, joining the high society in Paris and mingling in social circles with the famous singers, writers, and artists who inhabit the City of Light in the early 1960s.

Her marvelous travels across Europe include adventurous summer vacations in the French Riviera, weekends at the family country estate in Chantilly and winters in snowy St Moritz.

Interspersed with the coming of age tale of her young life, is her attendance of an embassy party in Paris as a young woman in 1965. Now a student at the Sorbonne, Marie-Claire meets up with figures from her past in the Soviet embassy and faces a painful reminder of an event which forever changed her life in Moscow.

The epic account of Marie-Claire’s life is an enthralling literary adaptation of Peter Sarstedt’s famous song, celebrating 50 years since he won the 1969 Ivor Novello award for “Where do you go to (my lovely)?” The mystery of her origins is finally uncovered, revealing the tragic time prior to that cold night in Rome, bringing an unexpected end to her persistent nightmares and morning tears.
