First of all, my sincere thanks to Heather for her generous offer to give away a copy of Miranda Warning, either print or ebook, and for her informative post on indie publishing. Miranda Warning is a good novel and an enjoyable springboard for the A Murder in the Mountains Series. I also want to thank…

                  An interesting mystery accompanying graphic sex scenes. Not sure which gets more attention. Since I'm an adult, married, have had two sons, I read through the sexual episodes for one reason: to know what to expect from this author, to realize and confirm the graphic nature of sex in the general market – and…

  For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord,   and he examines all his paths. The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him;   the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline,   led astray by his own great folly.   Proverbs 5:21-23…

Guess what I've discovered? In Christian fiction sex is taboo. At least anything past "longing looks" and "deep kisses" and occasional thoughts of "possibilities" related to those…

                        Now this escape into the secular market held a bit more of what is expected from general market fiction. There were language issues, one fairly graphic sex scene, and a gay Nigerian artist. Add to that the hopelessness of the dying P. I. Jimmy Booker, and you have a sad, borderline depressing, novel about Jimmy's last case.…
