Back in 1972, in a town called DeClare, Oklahoma; a terrible and tragic act was committed. Two lives were lost….Gaylene Harjo and her son, Nicky Jack. Gaylene’s body was found stabbed to death but the strangest part of the whole situation was Nicky James. No one every found him. Everyone feared the worse had happened to Nicky James like his mother especially after his pajama bottoms were discovered by the river bank. Thirty years have passed and everyone has forgotten. A stranger by the name of Mark Albright shows up in town. He starts asking questions about Gaylene and her son, Nicky James. The sheriff gets suspicious and checks into Mark. What the sheriff finds out about Mr. Albright will leave him speechless. So people don’t appreciate Mr. Albright coming into town asking his questions and opening wounds again. In fact you could say some people will go to the extremes to keep their secrets from being uncovered. First off I have to comment and say that I thought Shoot the Moon was ...

As much as Susannah and her fiancé, Henry does not like the idea, Susannah agrees. Besides it’s only ten days with her soon to be ex-husband. What’s the worse that can happen? For me the characters in Line of Scrimmage , both Susannah and Ryan are what made the book so enjoyable for me. The chemistry they shared between them as well as the personalities about them was great. Ryan is every woman’s fantasy...a hot, sexy, macho football player. I have not read many sports romance books, in fact I can count how many ...

Ok, so yesterday you read my review. Well today you can read my interview. After my interview is instructions on how you can win a ARC copy of Farworld: Water Keep that will be autographed by Mr. Savage himself. First off let me start be thanking you for doing this interview. I promise I will be easy on you as FarWorld: Water Keep is your first YA book. Hehe Easy? Does that mean no algebra questions? Have you always been into fantasy books? I’ve always been a fantasy reader and lover, but this is my first foray into writing them. If you could meet anyone died or alive, who would it be and why? Well I think it would be pretty yucky to meet someone dead. And they’d probably be ticked off at getting pulled out of their graves. I’d love to pick the brains of someone like JK Rowling though, or Stephen King. I’d love to talk writing with them. I know he’s dead, but how cool would it be to discuss writing with Tolkien? Do you find that your taste in books and movies differ? If yes why. Def...

I saw this fun idea over at Booking Mama http://bookingmama.blogspot.com/ . Her friend Amy came up with the idea. Read here Amy from My Friend Amy has a terrific idea -- she's doing a Book Blogger Appreciation Week during September 15th - 19th. Here's the basic information from her post: Book Bloggers: You work hard. You read books, you write reviews, you maintain relationships with your readers, publicists, and authors. You are constantly running to the post office to mail your giveaways and participating in carnivals to help boost traffic. You sometimes want to faint when you see the size of your TBR pile, but faithfully you read. And you do it because you love it. Book blogging is for most a hobby. But it's a hobby that takes a lot of work and time. It's a labor of love. Amy has been blogging for three years but only really got into book blogging in the last year. She have found, without a doubt, that book bloggers are the kindest, most open minded, and supportive g...

J. Kaye tagged me here http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/2008/08/book-buzz-tag-general-market.html Here's the idea (you can copy this paragraph to use in your post): I am going to list three categories of books. 3 MUST Read Books, 3 Keep Your Eyes on These, and 3 Look For These Soon. Keeping with the theme, I am going to tag at least 3 bloggers. They should put these same lists on their blog but SUBTRACT one book from each list and ADD one of their own. Then they should tag at least 3 more bloggers. It will be fun to see how the lists change as it goes around the blogosphere. Please come back to this post and leave a comment so I can see how the lists are changing as they go around the blogosphere. Since this is Book Buzz...please keep your lists to titles released in 2007-2009. Mine are in Red 3 MUST Read Books : Blackout by Lisa Unger Skin Deep by Gary Braver The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen 3 Keep Your Eyes on These: Testimony by Anita Shreve Contagious by Scott Sigler Names...
