While this is the sequel to Oakwood Island, it has been awhile since I read the first book and it all came flooding back. I also realized reading the first book beforehand wouldn’t be necessary to the understanding (?) of this story though it’s recommended. The mysteries of Oakwood Island go far beyond what one […]
One for the Rock by Kevin Major
A murder mystery I finished Halloween night as it better set the mood for the conclusion of the well-written story published by Breakwater Books out of Newfoundland. Set in Newfoundland, fitting for the title One For The Rock as Newfoundland, to many is known as “The Rock”, the story takes Sebastian through a journey like […]

Cooking with Dennis the Prescott
Full disclosure: I know and love Dennis’s wife and bought this book based on that and the fantastic story of discovery how Eat Delicious came to be. So when it was on sale and available for pre-order I didn’t hesitate and am so glad, along with my family, that I did. Flipping through the book […]

Oakwood Island by Canadian Authors Angella Cormier and Pierre C Arseneault
This story took over my life like the yellow pus took over some of its characters. I felt the impact of this mystery novel immediately and it kept going throughout! Not typically a fan of the macabre and grotesque, I make an exception for some of Stephen King’s work and would definitely compare this story […]
Pewter Angels by Canadian Author Henry K Ripplinger
Two years ago my mother met Henry at the Moncton Costco store where he was selling his box set – The Angelic Letters Series. From Saskatchewan, Henry encouraged the purchase of the entire set (of course he did!) and I’m so glad my mother called to ask if I wanted it. As my followers know, […]
