Today, I’m reviewing fellow eXasty Books author Denise Wheatley and her Christmas release A Naughty Jolly Christmas.
I’m doing my best to provide reviews at least once per month starting in the New Year. To kick things off, here is my review of the Revolutionary Heart Series by Janice Jarrell.
I won. Yes, as of November 25th, I completed a total of 50,851 words. In my previous NaNo update, I mentioned I was shooting for 60k by the end of the month. If I write 2k a day, which I have been since November 15th, I’ll meet this goal. I’m on chapter eighteen for Sanctified, …
Today, I’m doing something different. I’ve given the reigns of my blog to fellow eXasty Books author V.J. Allison so she can interview her leading man from her latest release Stricken, a steamy contemporary romance set in Nova Scotia, Canada. **** Good day everyone. I’m V.J. Allison, and today, I’m interviewing Ewan Campbell. He’s the …
Yes, I’m participating. So I thought I’d give a quick update of my writing goals and progress until the end of the year. As you know, Blessed was released on July 06, 2018, the first book in the Matawapit Family Trilogy. At the end of October, I finished the fourth draft for Redeemed, Book Two, …
It’s been ages since I’ve done a book review. So I’m happy to say here is my latest review of Guarded Wish by Addison Carmichael. I did my best to keep this spoiler free, because I’m also posting the review at Goodreads.
Do you enjoy a serving of fantasy with your romance? Even some paranormal? Did you ever make a wish as a child for your imagery friend to come true? Then you’d better be careful what you wish for. Why? Because author Addison Carmichael brings it to life in her Guarded Trilogy. Currently in the works …
As noted in my previous posts, I enjoy reading about Indigenous heroines. So when I came across Robin Deeter‘s Paha Sapa Saga series, I had to click on the buy option. According to her Goodreads page, Ms. Deeter is planning twelve books for the series. Available for purchase are: Sacrifice and Reward, Winter Moon, The …
I did a previous post about the novels–contemporary and historical–I’ve read, was reading, or planned on reading that starred Indigenous heroines. Today, I’m blogging about more books I’ve discovered. It doesn’t matter if the continent is North America, South America, Australia, or wherever else. As a matter of fact, after watching Mighty Cruise Ships by …
It’s time for some fiction since I’ve been on a non-fiction kick as of late. Last night, I popped Captive Spirit by Liz Fichera into my trusty old Sony e-reader. Mind you I can’t comment on the beginning of the story because I fell asleep before I could begin reading LOL. So I’m looking forward …
A mixed-blood Catholic seminarian struggles to discern his true calling: the priesthood or his ex-lover, a proud but damaged Ojibway man. Blessed is now available for purchase at eXtasy Books. It’s been ten years since Emery Matawapit sinned, having succumbed to temptation for the one thing in his life that felt right, another man. In …
I’ve been knee-deep in non-fiction for the past couple of months. The other day I downloaded some fiction…finally. How I’ve missed reading fiction–especially historical fiction. I did a previous post about Sue Harrison‘s Ivory Carver Trilogy. I’m finally starting her Storyteller Trilogy. Here are the blurbs for each story: Song of the River: Eighty centuries …
Looking for a new author? Enjoy contemporary romance set in Canada? Why not give V.J. Allison’s Stricken a buy? Blurb: Love deserves a second chance… Ewan Campbell once thought he had it all – he was a rising star in the real estate field, popular with his peers, and engaged to his employer’s cousin, the …
I’m taking a wee break before starting Sue Harrison‘s Storyteller Trilogy, because something else caught my eye while I was browsing through Kobo the other day. Actually, two books caught my eye. The first is what’s currently in my e-reader, Waterlily, by the late Ella Cara Deloria. Written in the early 1940s and published well …
I’m starting another trilogy, this one by Sue Harrison. She has two trilogies available, one being the Ivory Carver and the other The Storyteller. I’m knee deep in Mother Earth, Father Sky, the first book in the Ivory Carver trilogy. So far this is an amazing read. Ms. Harrison breathes life into all of her …
If you like small town contemporary romance about close-knit families, pick up a book by Nancy Stopper. In January of 2017, her debut novella for the Oak Grove Series, set in a fictional town in Pennsylvania, hit the book shelves. The Oak Grove series revolves around the Bennett family: Mom, Dad, eldest son Lucas, middle …
I read the first book, Restoring Hope, in Ruth Ann Nordin’s Native American Romance series and was impressed enough by the hero’s sister that I purchased Brave Beginnings, Julia’s story. And yes, I’ll be buying the last in the trilogy, Bound by Honor, Bound by Love. Here is the blurb: Julia Milton has said good-bye …
I’ve been enjoying Janelle Taylor. She has a few books that star an Indigenous heroine. I’m only four chapters into the novel and liking what I’ve read so far. Blurb: By the age of 20, the maiden called Kionee can ride, fight and hunt better than most men. Yet, she feels a secret loneliness knowing …
I discovered a new author, Kathleen O’Neal Gear, a former state historian and archeologist, who writes historical romance about North America’s Indigenous people. Her prose is rich in detail and her descriptions transport you back in time. Currently, I’m reading This Widowed Land. Blurb: Lovely Andiora is a Huron Indian in seventeenth-century North America. A …
I’m really enjoying Linda Acaster’s Beneath the Shining Mountains. I’m halfway through and can’t say enough about her prose, setting, and characters. This is the only Native American book in her backlist. My fingers are crossed she’ll write more. Here is the blurb: 1830s Northern Plains of America. Among the Apsaroke Crow people Moon Hawk …
