When I first saw the title Nell, I pictured the wild-child title character from the Jodie Foster movie, and I was sure I would never get that mental picture out of my head. About fifty pages into the book, I had lost that mental picture entirely. I was so engrossed in the storyline that I…
Ever have a friend who was a total bitch? Figuratively we all have, but what about literally? What if the friend you thought were dead came back to earth as a dog with the intention of making up for the terrible wrong she did you? Lydia Keane always considered herself a good friend to Amy…
Don’t let the premise of this funny book put you off because adultery is involved. The actual adulterous affair happens before the book begins, however, and the lead characters are not the adulterors. Lydia Keane had an affair with her best friend Amy’s husband, David. Lydia and David are killed, and Lydia has to come…
Eternity had a great concept, combining witches and reincarnation. I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, the plot was full of surprises that weren’t really all that surprising, and the characters made stupid decisions. To top it all off, the viewpoint switches were distracting.

So I wondered how I was going to react to Rainbow Moonglow, the psychic heroine of Sue Civil-Brown’s novel, Chasing Rainbow. I ended up liking Rainbow…
I’m not a big fan of anthologies, but I enjoyed this one–probably because it contained four longer stories intend of five shorter ones. The paranormal elements added to the stories, and all the stories had elements of humor as well.
“He was a totally sexual creature. Handsome as sin, sensual as silk. His name was Rejar…” For those who haven’t read it yet, I suggest you begin and finish Rejar while listening to Loreena McKennitt’s new CD, The Book of Secrets. You will then understand for the first time perhaps the full measure of the…
“It is not in the being, but in the recognizing” Yaniff, The MysticI was privy to these cryptic words weeks before I received the galleys of this book, but they never carried more meaning than in its conclusion, and perhaps, in my own life. For if Dara Joy’s Rejar (which preceded this story) is the…
