  • Book Review The Insomniacs

    Thanks to a long-ago subscription to an online group for professional, indie writers I amassed quite a few connections, including some incredibly successful people. That’s how I kind of *know Allison Winn and get the chance to follow along with her new ventures — including her prior novels with movie and series rights bought by big-name Hollywood folks. Her latest novel, The Insomniacs, is a murder mystery that Parade magazine’s reviewer thinks should be the next season of Only Murders in the Building and should have a sequel pronto. Not that she needs my help to promote her newest novel, but I think you will enjoy it too. I highly recommend you read The Insomniacs and all of her other books, especially if you need a boost of spirit. And, yes, she’s a lover of dogs, especially rescued labs and lab mixes.

    Book Review Away to Me

    While getting through 4 straight days without electricity, internet, cell phone service, and running water due to a massive wind storm, I felt thankful that I’d already bought and downloaded Patricia McConnell’s first-ever murder mystery novel — Away to Me — for my Kindle. Grateful too that my Kindle was 90% charged when the power went out last Thursday. You probably know McConnell from her longtime work as an animal behaviorist and author of many nonfiction books.
