Summer is ending, and we are eagerly awaiting the Autumn season. Well, I
am. I don’t know about you. I certainly did not enjoy the summer heatwave we had
here in the UK, and I am ready for a change. My children go back to school this
week, and we can get back in the work routine. For me that means many different
things. I am currently applying for part time jobs, with little success so far.
I am still trying to work out how to make my books sell, how to find my
audience, how to create products that people want to buy. It is a tricky
process, but I refuse to give up.

Book Review: Untangling the Webs by Joy Pearson
This book made me feel excited about growing older! Now, that might
sound odd, but bear with me. Untangling the Webs is the story of
relationships and real life. We follow the journeys of women who have
experienced love and heartbreak, who have battled through illness, raised
children, nurtured careers, and kept on going when life got tough. This book
picks up the story of a retired woman mourning for a missing lover, a woman in
her early forties who finds love when she has given up hope, of women who have
been “the other woman” in other people’s marriages. I liked the fact that all
the characters had flaws and strengths in equal measure, making them likeable
and believable. The webs mentioned in the title could well represent the physical
journeys taken by these women and men, as well as the entanglements of their
lives. They all meet up somewhere along the line, and I enjoyed reading the
story as it wove together, and bits of the puzzle clicked into place. Oh, and
there was some good sex in there as well, if you like it a little bit racy!
You can buy Untangling the Webs
in all the usual places, and you can request it from your local library in the
UK. Find Joy Pearson on Facebook
and learn more about her personal journey as she wrote this book. You won’t
regret adding this one to your reading pile!

Night Stairs to Dormitory #LoveCastles
Do you like my title? Sounds like a fascinating book, don’t you think?
Well, it hasn’t been written yet, at least not by me. I just returned from a
family holiday in Northumberland, and we visited the Holy Island Lindisfarne.
Using our English Heritage membership, we visited Lindisfarne Priory, and
enjoyed a fascinating tour of this religious relic. I found the site peaceful
and full of intrigue, including the information plaques that were scattered
about the ruins.

Secrets: Dreya Love Book 3 by Dana Lyons
There’s no going back.
Martin Nash was once seven years old and longed for words of love from
his mother. At thirty-five, he knows he’s never going to hear them from her.
But he’s willing to kill for as long as it takes … until someone tells him the
words.
As Dreya, Rhys, Quinn, and Simon discover the dangerous position they’re
in by being Noble, they search for a way to fit exceptional into their everyday
life. While old habits provide a never-ending challenge going forward, no one
would go back.
Nobility transformed them and their lives.
Nobility, a genetic modification created by Dr. Anthony Lazar, uses
latent animal DNA to cage the human ego and bring mankind a higher moral code
free of envy, greed, and jealousy. Noble means possessing an exceptional
character in the face of adversity. Dreya, Rhys, Quinn, and Simon discover
being Noble and exceptional in a human world isn’t easy.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Dreya puts herself in the line of fire
with a serial killer who has a fetish for eyeballs. What she doesn’t know is …
Nothing is safe and nowhere is private.
It’s not a good time to have secrets.
About the Author
Where did my writing begin?
In the winter of 2002 I sat down and wrote my first romance. This
surreal experience lasted 7 days, with a one day break in the middle. I wrote
10,000 words a day. What I produced was awful, but a great story. I had
obviously been bitten, and yet I didn't know how to write, simple as that. So
the process of learning how to write began for me with RWA. I jumped into the
conferences, seminars and online courses with determination, reading books on
how to write, and how not to write. I went to meetings with other want-to-be
writers and published authors and listened to what everyone had to say. I
shelved the first novel because another story had taken root in my mind and I
began THE ROSETTA COIN. My critique partner sent it back looking like sushi.
:-( But I kept working because I knew writing was a talent I could polish. The
paranormal experiences my characters work through are loosely based on the
possibilities of a Multidimensional Universe laced with the spooky actions of
Quantum physics. A new time travel romance is currently working, with plans for
another adventure novel coming next, followed by a sequel to Druae. Adding to
this mix, I have an idea for a time traveler series. It seems there is always
another story to write, bringing new readers to Dana's work.
