This entry was posted in Book Reviews Books/Writing Goddess Fish Promotions Tour on

And now for something completely different! I seldom write nonfiction reviews — mainly because reality scares me. Today’s featured book, presented as part of a Goddess Fish Promotions tour, offers advice for every business owner–and authors absolutely qualify as business owners. See my review and be sure to enter the giveaway. S.K. Reviews Totally out of my so-called area of expertise, but who couldn’t use a jolt of advice now and then? I’m a writer, not a business exec.

Such a Good Mom by Julia Spiro

Murder and Motherhood! S.K. Reviews SUCH A GOOD MOM

This entry was posted in Book Reviews Books/Writing Mystery Novel Magic on

Such a Good Mom by Julia Spiro is a reasonably satisfying mystery with a message I found particularly poignant. So, the mystery—Somebody killed a young woman on Martha’s Vineyard, and Brynn’s husband is arrested. Brynn may have to face unpleasant truths as she tries to clear her husband of the charges. Was he involved with the dead woman? Did he commit the murder? If not, how can the evidence against him be so damning? The poignant part is the honest […]

S.K. Reviews Deadfall by Aline Templeton

New Release! Deadfall is book 6 in Aline Templeton’s DC Kelsey Stang series. Deadfall stands nicely on its own. I’ve not read any of the others and could see there were things that continued from those previous books, but nothing detracted from the story in this book. In fact, those things made me want to backtrack to those previous books in the series just for fun. A word about developing character and setting—Do it! Templeton takes her time, lovingly describing […]

By now you know my tastes–spooky or steamy or Scottish or all three–and when I find something share-worthy, I like to pass it along. This month’s selection falls firmly into the spooky category. Spirits of Southeast Alaska came to me by way of my daughter who got it by way of a co-worker and friend who just happens to be the author. Anyone who loves a good ghost story will find this little book hard to put down. From the […]

Book Review: Santorini Sunset by Clair Croxton

Nobody’s perfect but Caroline feels less perfect than anyone else on the planet. Yes, I’m fat and can’t keep a man. Move on please. Nothing to see here except humiliation. I’ll make an appointment to get the loser L tattooed on my forehead before the wedding. Small talk with Mother is like a bikini wax done with hot tar. She’s pressed to be matron of honor at her super-model sister’s wedding and she invents a hunky boyfriend to save face—since […]

Greetings and Felicitations.  During this gift-giving season, I’d like to suggest you forget the department stores and support local businesses including local artists and writers. With that in mind, I’m going to be posting reviews of books by local authors from now until Christmas.  If you have a book you want me to review, leave a note.  I can only read so fast, but I’m willing to try.   My Review: Pam Foster cooked up quite a tasty dish in […]
