Blue Diablo by Ann Aguirre
I am well and truly hooked on Ann Aguirre’s books. I thought her Sirantha Jax books were absolutely amazing and then I read about Corine Solomon and was totally blown away! WOW, can Ann Aguirre write or what?! Corine acquired the gift of handler when her mother gave her life up in a fire so Corine could live. Now when she handles a charged object, she can tell what happened to the last person who handled the object but at great cost. She has the scars on her palms to prove it. Now Corine thinks she’s given up that life ...
A Piece of My Heart by Kemberlee Shortland
I’ve read several of Kemberlee Shortland’s short stories and have enjoyed their quirkiness so I was looking forward to reading her book set in Ireland. I have an affinity to Ireland as I am of Irish descent. Kate Conneely has been in love with Mick Spillane since she was a little girl. She thought they were very close as they always walked home from school together and they would go to their private place to just be with each other and discuss their day but one day that all changed and Kate didn’t know why. She only knew that Mick ...

Time for Eternity by Susan Squires
Susan Squires’ Companion books are stupendous. I’ve read them all and they just get better and more intriguing. This one is no exception. Frankie Suchet had fallen in love with Henri Foucault when he lived next door to the woman she took care of and in the Reign of Terror in 1794 Henri saved her from an angry mob who took her employer away. Unfortunately during an accident in which she cut her hand, she accidentally came in contact with Henri’s blood and was turned by his Companion. The only thing she wishes she could do was go back in time ...

Lucan by Susan Kearney
I’ve been reading Susan Kearney’s books for a long time but when she started writing Paranormal Romance and Futuristic Romance, I was totally hooked. Lucan is the first in her Pendragon Legacy series. It’s future Earth and humanity as we know it is about to be wiped out. The women are sterile and everyone is dying. Lucan Rourke has to find out to get to Pendragon so he can find the elusive Holy Grail and bring humanity back from the brink of extinction. Lady Cale is a high priestess and a healer of her people on Pendragon. She also is forbidden ...

Doubleblind by Ann Aguirre
I started reading the third book of the Sirantha Jax saga with some trepidation. I enjoyed reading the first two so much that I just simply didn’t want to be disappointed with the third one. I was anything but disappointed! Whew! What a series this is turning out to be! In this book Jax finally gets to Ithiss-Tor but she has to deal with a lot of things. For one, a faction of the Ithtorians does not want her there. Big surprise, huh? Another is March has changed and Jax can’t get through to him. If ...

Laughter is the Best Medicine-Final Post
Posted by DivaCheryl
When I started this series, I wanted to show cancer patients the upside of chemotherapy. It’s not the dreadful experience it used to be. Drugs help patients tolerate the toxins of their chemo “recipes” and minimize the side effects. I also hope I’ve shared the importance of laughing. Physiologically, a good belly laugh is healing. It’s important for patients to... [Read more]

Spreading Wings
Posted by DivaTrish
I recently finished a book project that was so completely out of my comfort zone that I was hyper for months. After all, I write contemporaries which I hope are funny. Suddenly I was asked to write a historical fantasy in a land far, far away. It was a treat to be asked, as the editor who suggested me was a complete stranger. But they were asking me to do WHAT? The only thing that came close to being... [Read more]
Happy 4th of July
Posted by DivaDolores
I hope everyone had a pleasant and fun 4th of July. We are camping in Tennessee. From our campsite we saw three different magnificent displays of fireworks. I always get a little teary watching them burst against the dark sky especially when a local radio station synchronizes patriotic music to the brilliant explosions. The phrase “O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave”... [Read more]

Posted by DivaCheryl
Cheryl's new "cranial prosthesis" Enough with the red hair. I now have a new cranial prosthesis–no fooling, that’s what it’s called for insurance and IRS purposes–and I’m wigged. This one is more like my own hair, except easier to maintain. But enough about hair loss. Today’s post is about turning into my mother, many a daughter’s fear *LOL*.... [Read more]
Laughter is the Best Medicine III: The Bald Truth
Posted by DivaCheryl
Not all chemotherapy causes hair loss, but mine has. I wanted it to. If I’m losing my hair, the drugs are working; they are killing off the cells that grow fastest in my body. This is a positive sign. In preparation for hair loss, I studied various options, like turbans, hats and caps, wigs, scarves, and combinations. I live in Florida and it’s summer. Hello! I am not wearing hot turbans... [Read more]
