Reviews!

To any authors/publishers/ tour companies that are looking for the reviews that I signed up for please know this is very hard to do. I will be stopping reviews temporarily. My husband passed away February 1st and my new normal is a bit scary right now and I am unable to concentrate on a book to do justice to the book and authors. I will still do spotlight posts if you wish it is just the reviews at this time. I apologize for this, but it isn't fair to you if I signed up to do a review and haven't been able to because I can't concentrate on any books. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time. I appreciate all of you. Kathleen Kelly April 2nd 2024

Mission: Believe 
Rise Again Warrior Series Book 1 
by Stacy Eaton 
Genre: Contemporary Military Romance  
Staff Sgt. Shane Logan is lucky to have come from a privileged family, and after losing both of his legs in the war, he now has the best prosthetics that money can buy. While he is trying to move forward with life, he struggles with the past and the way people react to him and his disability.

Dr. Lauren Falcone works tirelessly to help veterans deal with the trauma and pain of their deployments. Her unique virtual approach to therapy keeps her busy, and the assistance she provides to service members as they recover mentally helps her resolve her own anxieties.

When Shane meets Lauren at a fundraiser for his father’s organization, he wonders if there just might be a chance for him to get his dream off the ground and maybe find a normal life with someone who can look past his flaws and see the man he is inside.

Shane and Lauren are drawn to each other by their hope to make life easier for veterans, both physically and emotionally. Their goal is to build Shane’s dream organization, Rise Again Warrior, that will assist veterans to integrate more easily into society and have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art technology and therapy.

Now, if they can only have faith in themselves, learn to deal with their own demons, and believe in each other, they might find a way to bring this dream to fruition.

Mission: Accept 
Rise Again Warrior Series Book 2 
Dana Donahue might be Shane Logan’s cousin, but she’s nothing like him—she’s quite the opposite of him. Her thoughts focus on what money and people can do for her. She never approved of Shane joining the military and knows little about the world he has lived in for most of his life. All that will change when she has to ask him for a job after her father cuts her off.

Derek Stall lives on the streets by choice—not circumstance. Memories of what he did under order sometimes haunt him, other times give him the strength to move through one more day until he can finish the mission he started.

A chance meeting between Dana and Derek will lead to an unlikely friendship that might just save his life, but the drastic differences between them could be the dividing wedge that keeps them apart.

When Derek feels he has to leave Rise Again Warrior to complete his mission, he begins to realize that he could be leaving behind more than just a few friends. Could he be leaving behind the possibility of a healthy future before he finally accepts his past?

The Bone Cutters by Renee S. DeCamillis Book Tour and Giveaway!


The Bone Cutters 
by Renee S. DeCamillis 
Genre: Psychological Horror, Supernatural Thriller 


Horror, Psychological Thriller, Supernatural, a novella from the 2019 New Bizarro Author Series from Eraserhead Press: 

Dory wakes up in the padded room of a psychiatric hospital with no recollection of how she wound up there. She soon finds out she's been Blue-Papered--involuntarily committed. She gets sent to the wrong counseling group and discovers a whole new world of psychiatric patients she'd never known existed. At first she just thinks they're cutters, all marked by similar scars, but then she finds out that those scars are from carving into their bodies where they chisel and scrape their bones. They harvest bone dust, and this dust is highly coveted and sought after, as well as highly addictive. When they realize she's never been"dusted", Dory becomes their target. After all, dust from a "freshie" is much more valuable than theirs. Frightened for her life, she desperately tries to prove to the psych. hospital staff that she's not delusional about these particular patients wanting to slice her open and scrape her bones. The staff doesn't believe her. They all think she's crazy. Dory ends up on the run, fighting for her life, trying to avoid getting "dusted" by The Bone Cutters. 

Like Girl, Interrupted and "The Yellow Wallpaper", The Bone Cutters is one woman's dark and surreal experience with a madness that is not necessarily her own.

Beginning With Cannonballs by Jill McCroskey Coupe Book Spotlight!


BEGINNING WITH CANNONBALLS
A Novel By Jill McCroskey Coupe
She Writes Press
Publication date: May 26, 2020;
Fiction; ISBN: 978-1-63152-848-4, 5 1⁄2 x 8 1⁄2,
Trade paperback, 232 pages,
$16.95 E-book
ISBN: 978-1-63152-849-1, $9.95 
Description: 
“This lyric novel is a gorgeous mosaic, fragmented in a way that lets the
reader into the gaps in order to complete the meaning, to connect the
narrative dots. Beginning with Cannonballs reminds me of an Alice Munro
story, one that looks at people’s lives over decades, like catching them
in snapshots, so we can see how they relate to the people they once
were. Jill McCroskey Coupe is one savvy, irresistible, and fearless writer.”
—John Dufresne, author of I Don’t Like Where This Is Going 
“The book takes on important and timeless issues of race, racism, and
cultural shifts in America.”—Centered on Books 
“...a thoughtful novel about the meaning of friendship...”—Booksies 
“Beginning with Cannonballs spans fifty years in a poignant yet difficult
friendship. Through each episode, each explosive cannonball, the novel takes
an unstinting and courageous look at how societal forces can seek
to destroy the truth that lies beneath the surface of our skin: that we are
all sisters and brothers at heart.”
—J.E. Irvin, author of The Dark End of the Rainbow and The
Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone 
“Jill McCroskey Coupe’s compelling story of an unlikely friendship in
the segregated South is unforgettable. Hanna and Gail’s struggle to
defy the odds of racism and social status is truly one of hope. Such
lovely and deft writing from a masterful storyteller. A must read.”—
Kim Bradley, short story writer and Assistant Professor of English, Flagler College 
In the 1940s, in segregated Knoxville, Tennessee, Gail (white) and Hann
a (black) shared a crib in Gail’s parents’ house, where Hanna’s mother,
Sophie, was the live-in maid. When the girls were four, Sophie taught them
to swim, and soon they were gleefully doing cannonballs off the diving
board, playing a game they'd invented based on their favorite Billie Holiday
song. 
By the time they’re both in college, however, the two friends have lost
touch with each other. A reunion in Washington, DC, sought by Gail but
resented by Hanna, sets the tone for their relationship from then on.
Marriage, children, and a tragic death further strain the increasingly
fragile bond. How much longer can the friendship last? 
Jill McCroskey Coupe’s first job was gathering (collating) in her father’s 
printing plant in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the foothills of the Great Smoky 
Mountains. A former librarian at Johns Hopkins University, she has an MFA in 
Fiction from Warren Wilson College, located in the heart of the Blue Ridge. The 
Southern Appalachians will always feel like home to her, but so does Baltimore, 
where she has lived for more than thirty years. Her first novel was TRUE STORIES 
AT THE SMOKY VIEW (She Writes Press). Her new novel, BEGINNING
WITH CANNONBALLS, is due out from She Writes Press in May 2020.
