Ok, So I know I am suppose to feature all my new finds on Friday Finds but really when you think about it. It's now really a new find as I first heard about this author and book from J. Kaye. LOL. Actually J. Kaye was nice enough to pass my information along to Mrs. Nowell Butler . So you can imagine my surprise when Joylene emailed me asking if I wanted to review her book Dead Witness.

Now DeOlmos is after Valerie and her family but the FBI is going to try their hardest to protect Valerie. DeOlmos tracks Valerie down and almost succeeds in killing her. Now...

When Ms. Amiri asked if I wanted to read her latest book Druid Quest I was intrigued as I like books with a Celtic touch but mix in fantasy and I don't know. I have to say that I am now seeing why so many people enjoy fantasy books as Druid Quest was a good one. Here is my review. The Romans have destroyed Britannia and are moving fast to take down Queen Boudica and her band of followers. Sulwen, a druidess who barely survived the attack on Britannia knows what the Romans are capable of but she will do everything in her powers to stop the Romans once and for all.

As Rhys, Sulwen and Queen Boudica’s two daughters travel to Eryri, they will have to tread carefully as the Romans are approaching quickly. There in Eryri, Rhys can rally up an army to fight the Romans but will he get there...

I met Mr. Parker on Shelfari. He is nice, smart and a good writer. His books have the theme of Christianity in them. Now you might think well I am not going to read them then as books want to force there beliefs on you. Well I can tell you that Mr. Parker does not do that. He only makes reference to God, The Bible and maybe inserts some passages but he does it in an appropriate way. So if you are looking for something new to read or want to take a chance on a new book than check our all of Mr. Parker's books. For most of Jeremy Dillon’s life, it has been just him and his dad.

First off let me say thank you for doing this interview. It was a pleasure. Thank you! The pleasure is all mine, and I appreciate your interest in me and my work. What’s your idea of a relaxing day? Sleeping late, doing some writing in my pj’s until early afternoon, having lunch, and then just hanging out with my husband and sons for the rest of the day. Where do you draw your inspirations from? Who are your inspirations? The inspiration for my books actually came from a dream. In the dream, I was talking to a man I didn’t know and addressed him as Mitch, although I know no one by that name. When I woke up, I began to write the story that was forming in my head. Six months later I had completed my first novel, A Forever Kind of Love , and my “dream man” became Mitch Tarrington, my lead character. I feel that ...
