Hello and welcome to this week’s edition.

Just a quick note about last week’s email subscriber contest. Since the winner already has an author profile on the website, we opted for a review of his newest book. Look for my review of, Solomon’s Dreams: Preying for Revenge by Eric Suddoth, coming soon.

If you would like to get in on the fun, you can find the email subscribe form in the sidebar or at the bottom of every post.

Glad you are here!

Anna Banana Rhyming Books by Sigal Adlar

It was crowded there and hard to rest,
Just half a closet to help her get dressed.
Her only belongings a plant and a ball,
No, there was no space inside there at all.
It was time for Anna to find a whole new place,
a home much wider with plenty more space.

Persuaded by her girlfriends, Faith Daniels tosses a coin into the infamous “Fountain of Love” and wishes for the perfect man, laughing it off as the dumbest thing she’s ever done. Like magic, her quiet life turns upside-down when men begin to appear out of nowhere. There’s a doctor, a lawyer, a firefighter, and a swimwear model, for starters. All of them are kind, generous, successful, and drop-dead gorgeous. All of them are interested in Faith. But who is Mr. Right?

A feel-good romance novel about love, friendship, and living life to the fullest!

Rats in a Maze by Peter Bailey

It was just a simple car accident and Detective Fisher closed the case easily. But why did he remember things that had never happened, and who was the “most beautiful woman in the world” who haunted his dreams?

NYPD Detective Ray Fisher thought it meant he was going mad, but there was enough of the Detective left to see that the weirdness had started after he’d investigated a car that had been driven into the river. It was a trivial case but it opened his eyes to a shadowy elite who used people like pawns.

Ray thought he had all the answers until the NYPD suspended him and he realized that the only thing worse than the elite was the vast government Conspiracy concealing it.

In case you missed it on the blog this week!

Cranberry Peach Pie

This pie looks too beautiful to eat but too delicious to not eat. I bow down to Janet’s superb artistic skill with a pie crust.
