  • Book Review—The Solace of Denim, by Kathy Otten

    What a gripping page-turner! I tore through this book, unable to stop reading (and when I had to put it down, it stayed on my mind!) I truly cared about the main character, and feared for him throughout. Joey’s life has been hard, and it’s getting worse. He’s lost everyone who cares about him, and is…

  • Update—still so tired

    I’m finally back at the keyboard. I took a few days to go on a (business) trip with someone who dislikes traveling alone. I did take my work with me, but I spent a LOT of time relaxing and reading, which was important. Traveling is exhausting. And we deplaned just in time to see on…

  • Book Review: The Carter Files—Phoenix by Lori Janeski

    Book One of Two At 551 pages, this is a BIG book, and the story continues in The Carter Files: Raven. It is absolutely worth the time. A rousing good story, with interesting characters (and good backstories), ratcheting tension marbled with humor and the feel of real life. The love story is also very natural.…
