Reviews & Giveaways: Angel’s Den and Dead Reckoning
Angel’s Den is a historical set in the early days of the United States. The characters follow the Lewis and Clark trail in 1808, a couple years after the original trip.

Dead Reckoning Review and Tour
Dead Reckoning is Ronie Kendig’s debut novel and an absolute page-turner. I’m already hearing rumors that her second novel is even better which I frankly find hard to believe.

Watch Over Me Review
Watch Over Me is a powerfully offering from Christa Parrish. She has quickly become an author whose books I will read — unusually since her books aren’t suspense, straight romance, or a historical time period I love. This one is classified as contemporary fiction, but with overtones of women’s fiction. Even so, Watch Over Me pulled me in from the …
The Male Factor: A Review
Shaunti Feldhahn’s latest book, The Male Factor: the Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions, and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace grew out of her realization that time and again women short circuited their success in the workplace because they don’t understand the rules of the game.
