When I was looking for novels to review for Black History Month, I saw the publisher’s notes about The Healing by Jonathan Odell and it sounded like a perfect choice. Maybe because this novel is based on oral histories of the period, it wasn’t until I finished The Healing that I learned Jonathan Odell is white (see the quote below). I feel this story really needed to be told. I believe sometimes the most unlikely stories come to the very people who are meant to tell…

When the publisher made available an advanced readers copy of Black Diamond by John F. Dobbyn, I jumped on it. I used to be a fan of horse-racing mysteries but I hadn’t read anything like that in a long time so it seemed like it was meant to be. After reading Black Diamond, I learned it’s Book #3 in this mystery series; however, it makes a great stand-alone novel. If you like a good mystery like I do, you’ll be pleased with this…

Castledance is a very well-written book of fantasy. I love the story, the plot, and the romance in it. The colorful people and places are vividly described in its pages.

The forces of evil are lurking about the land and they are staying secretly quiet for purposes of their own. The rest of the races must unite to vanquish the foe or die alone. It is beautifully written with vocabulary of its…

Angry and surly he hangs up on her and goes home thinking that this might as well be the end for them. He is there for her, but she surely is not there for him. At home, he finds her there sitting in the dark.



He stood still, ambivalent. He wanted to kiss her blind, go into her body and never… Continue

Some have asked me why I made the main character, the heroine, the 17 year-old Noane, African American (although she is in fact neither from African nor American, since Quest takes place on a mythical Earth in mythical times).



My answer has no political, racial or social application. I made her that way because that is always how she appeared in my head. Right from the start, Noane came to me out of the mist - or myst? - just as she is. Long black braids, beautiful brown skin,…
