For Moving In

Seriously Reviewed said "You know? Every so often you read a story that starts a little slow on the first few pages and then.....BAM it just explodes! This was one of them for me."

Kaye's Book Review Page
on which she said The book is "short, sweet, light-hearted and just plain fun."

Vince at Philosophy of Romance said "Alice Audrey’s voice is fresh, feisty, full of surprises and always fun. The author also deals with real people having real problems and she does it in a very insightful way."

Nessa at Chrysalis Stage said "If you like sweet, fast-paced romance with a hot hero and all of the misunderstandings that two people can throw at each other, then you will love this story."

Night Owl Reviews didn't have anything nice to say about it. Hey, you can't win them all.

Brenda Talley of Romance Studio said " I recommend this book to anyone. It was a pleasure to read and I shall look for more of her work in the future. "

By Guta Bauer at Murphy's Library did it twice! Once in English and once in Portuguese. I'm assuming they both say, "Life goes on, choices need to be made and we can never let our past deny us of our future. That’s just some of the things we learn from this story. "

If you did a review of my book, let me know! I'll be glad to link to you, even if you didn't like the book.

Chesapeake by James Michener p. 566

A ship, like a human being, moved best when it is slightly athwart the wind. When it has to keep its sails tight and attend its course. Ships, like men, do poorly when the wind is directly behind, pushing them sloppily on their way so that no care is required in steering or in the management of sails; the wind seems favorable, for it blows in the direction one is heading, but actually it is destructive because it induces a relaxation in tension and skill. What is needed is a wind slightly opposed to the ship, for then tension can be maintained, and juices can flow and ideas can germinate, for ships, like men, respond best to challenge.

Planning Ahead

Jill: What are you doing, Jack?

Jack: Checking out the texture of the road in front of our house.

Jill: Oh…. Why?

Jack: You know there’s a beer festival going on this weekend right?

Jill: Yeah. So?

Jack: I figure this is as close to home as I’ll get when it’s over.

Looking Down from Above

“It’s all right, baby. She’s gone on to a better place. But she hasn’t left you behind. I’m sure she’s looking down on you from above.”

The boy shivered. “Just when I thought she couldn’t spy on me anymore.”

Suzie’s House 258 : A Look at “I Am From”

Suzie's House

Ben brought a poem of sorts over for me to critique. I actually have some university training in poetry, though it’s been long enough that I couldn’t tell my limerick from my canticle. All right, I’ll admit I’ve got my limericks down pat, but you know what I mean. It’s not my focus. Then again, neither are a teenage boy’s homework assignments.

Honeymoon

It was supposed to be beautiful. She wouldn’t let him touch her until they were married, because only when consecrated could their relationship be beautiful. He did all he could to make it right for her, but in the end, a simple ceremony can’t make a grunt sound like a song.

Suzie’s House 257 : When the Truth Broke Loose

Suzie's House

“Would you quit being so pissy already?”

“Ben?” Lisa and Tracy both looked at him like he’d just grown another head.

Gene didn’t bother to look at him at all, just kept walking. Then again, he was well ahead of them on the sidewalk, so maybe he couldn’t hear. Or he just didn’t want to hear.

“What? Don’t I have a right to get fed up with him? Weren’t both of you just complaining about him?”

King Trevor by Susan Helene Gottfried p. 3


The first time he came to, Trevor wasn’t even sure he was awake. When a guy like Trevor Wolff was awake, there was noise. Usually of his own making, but not always.

This is the first paragraph from the book.
