Safe Beginnings

After arson in a battered women's shelter causes the death of a resident, Counselor Kaye Berreano continues working with the women after they move to a Red Cross shelter. Arson investigator Pete Farrell has no shortage of suspects - several residents, their husbands/abusers, and Kaye's almost-ex-husband. The mystery is flavored with experiences of the women of the safe house and the hint of a beginning of a romance, making the story more interesting and informative.

Safe Beginnings by Christine Duncan entertains, intrigues, and educates.

Katalina

Carolyn Scheidies is an inspiring woman who writes inspiring books. I've "known" Carolyn online for several years, through Christian E-Author and other groups. She writes both fiction and nonfiction (including devotionals), and her theme is "I Deal in Hope."

KATALINA--Catalyst to Murder is one of my favorite books. It's a great mystery, a wonderful romance ... and a marvelous lesson in self-acceptance, trust, and salvation.

I especially enjoyed the fact that Katalina is disabled, as is Carolyn. When I wrote my novel Stroke of Luck with a handicapped heroine, many agents and editors rejected the book, and they often said a romance couldn't have a handicapped heroine.

Katalina proves that a wonderful romance can indeed have a handicapped heroine. God does not look at our physical appearance and abilities but at our heart and soul. A real hero will not judge the heroine by her physical appearance and abilities but by her heart and soul.

Patchwork Trail

There are no children around my house, so I'm usually not familiar with children's books. But I read Patchwork Trail by my friend Janet Kaderli and enjoyed it even as an adult. I have no doubt that young readers will identify with the main character and enjoy reading the book.

Ten-year-old Erica Kraft visits her grandparents on their farm in Caldwell County, Texas, fully expecting to be bored. However, she has fun and learns a lot — about her family, sewing, quilt-making, the history of the area, and the Chisholm Trail.

Janet includes a quilt pattern block in the e-book version of Patchwork Trail, and you can even download the pattern from her Web site. She added the pattern to the e-book after several quilters asked her about it — an advantage of e-books; Janet couldn't go back and add the pattern into the books that were already printed!

The print and electronic versions of the book are available from GASLight Publishing or you can order an autographed print copy directly from the author. Janet will also provide information for the book to be used in schools' accelerated reader programs.

Wishing Makes It So


Wishing Makes It So is about what happens when when really, really bad things happen to a Christian family.

"An unheeded warning, a heart-wrenching discovery and an unbelievable accusation keep this plot moving at a fast and furious pace. Despite the fact I was warned that Wishing Makes It So is a dark novel, I was unprepared for the raw emotion I had to deal with as I agonized with this unsuspecting family. Just when you think you can let down your guard and life is returning to some semblance of “normal”, the terror starts anew.

Put an extra cushion on your reading chair, folks. If you like edge-of-your-seat suspense, that’s where you’ll be perched until you reach the very last page. Meredith dispenses suspense and horror with equal disregard for your anxiety level as she interrupts the cozy life of the Chrestman family in this superb tale of blood-curdling psychological suspense. " --Reviewer, Ingrid Taylor

For the entire review, go to Amazon.com and Wishing Makes It So.

Cougar Lake

Their relationship was destroyed when Colt lost his memory in an accident and chose Tia's sister instead of her. After years of hurt, though, Colt, now alone, and Tia end up in business together running the Cougar and Cardinal Inn. Can they start again in spite of the mistakes and the pain of the past?

Cougar Lake by Robin Bayne is a lovely story of love and forgiveness.

Now I'm eager to read the sequel, From Now On.
