Never a fan of history I had a difficult time comparing this book to “Stephen King” as critics did. Slade’s story of long ago wars, artifacts and ancestors just didn’t appeal to me and then I got to a story about a single mother losing her husband to a horrific death. This captured my attention […]
Workshop With Brian Henry
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a workshop on How To Get Published which was given by Brian Henry as part of Moncton’s Frye Festival. A seemingly genuinely helpful and kind man, Henry filled a crowded room full of motivation, perseverance and a goal – increase the number of “pretty” good manuscripts […]
You Have An IPad! Do You Still Have the Box?
Riches come to us in all different shapes and sizes. We’ve all been told the stories of when we enjoyed the simpler things in life, the least expensive items amused us more than the things that cost our parents a small fortune. Some of us even remember those days when the letters to Santa were […]

My Review of Cross by James Patterson
Patterson has done it for me again. Discouraged to pick up yet another book in the Alex Cross series I decided it needed to be done and am ever so grateful I did. Cross answered a lot of questions I had throughout the series and only wish I actually read this series in the order […]
My Book Review of 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult
Brilliant! In the wake of the many horrific school shootings this novel has a way of making you look at these tragic events in many different ways. Poor Peter, the boy who finally put an end to the teasing, bullying, ridicule and constant put downs by the jocks and yet poor everyone else who’s lives […]
