My latest review is for Wool (Omnibus Edition) by Hugh Howey. This was a fantastic read and the first 5 star review I've posted on my site since launch.

Achilles Forjan by Kelli Jae Baeli
![]() ". . .an action packed, psychological thriller that captivates the reader with dynamic characters and sleight-of-hand clues covering a gamut of genres." ~Justice Harlow, author of The Recipe & Shall We Consummate? Burlington, Vermont was a city known for its near-nonexistent murder rate. So when bodies begin to appear along with a mysterious note and a humiliating gesture from the killer, local authorities scramble to discover who is responsible. A complicated series of events points to Amy Jane Spenser as the prime suspect. She is troubled by sleep deprivation and frequent memory lapses. Her job as a paramedic feeds her compulsion to help people, but ultimately only renders her a crippled witness to the human condition. Amy struggles with doubt over her own mysterious behavior, and is left with no alibi for any of the murders. Her friend, Karma, uses her degree in Criminal Psychology and a gift for psychometry to search for clues to Amy's innocence, in spite of a persistent detective. The suspense builds as lives intertwine, and destinies dangle precariously over an abyss of secrets and suppositions, until nothing can ever be the same again. 5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Kelli Jae Baeli!, Tanya Gotcher This is the third of Ms. Baeli's books I've read and I plan to read more of them. She is an absolute MASTER of characterization! After I read her books, I catch myself wondering about the characters as if they were real people. And, no, this is not a sign I need to be in a mental ward somewhere; rather, it is a testament to how authentic her characters are. This authenticity extends to her plots as well. I can especially speak to the authenticity of the plot and characters in this particular book because I work in the emergency services field myself. This book in it's entirety, down to the smallest of details, is real enough to be based on people whom I know and work with daily. One final big plus!... more often than not, I can guess "who done it" before the ending of a murder mystery and that just ruins the whole book for me. I also view it as a weakness in the writer's talent. However, not so in this gem of a psycho-thriller/murder mystery! I was totally and happily surprised! Reading this one was time well spent! ============== For information about the book, or to purchase, visit http://jaebaeli.com/AF.shtml |

All right. So go on over to FANGTASTIC BOOKS and read my brand new interview. I guarantee a giggle or two and an undeniable sensation of "Man, that was time well spent."
PLUS - if you comment at the end of the interview you will be eligible for a free giveaway of my hockey/vampire extravaganza, SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME! Do it now. Do not hesitate, lest you find yourself sitting mournfully by the burned out hearth on a dryrotted rocking chair thinking to yourself - "Why the hell didn't I read that interview and take that chance on winning a free e-book!" Act now, before the coming technical landslide renders the e-book obsolete... |

It's Not My Mountain Anymore
My book "It's Not My Mountain Anymore" is pure dose of Appalachian reality. Since it was released July 1, 2011 I've been BooK-Leggin all over the place.
![]() It's fun but very different since I rarely ventured beyond our GA state line. I'm a 7th generation Appalachian and a veteran of the famous* Foxfire Books. It's Not My Mountain Anymore enjoys raving reviews. 5,511 copies were downloaded during a Kindle promotion last week. I'm deeply grateful because sales sparked by free download interests allow me to give back to those who preserve our dying heritage. ![]() The book is mountain stuff for the mountain minded. My folks lived by faith between the sun and the soil. It also looks at changes I've observed in our neck of the woods over the past 50 years. There is not one $5.00 word in it and you won't need a hammer to crack its simple message. The book has a 5 Star rating on Amazon. Have I bragged enough?? I'd be honored to share a heartfelt journey with you! ![]() Thanks, Barbara |

I've added some new tools to my website - one for authors, one for readers in the UK.
First, for authors: Create Apple & Amazon Links for any Country will create a link that redirects to your book page on the Amazon/Apple store in the user's country. (UK users go to Amazon UK/Apple UK, German users go to Amazon DE/Apple DE, etc) For readers in the UK: View Amazon.com Page at Amazon UK is a bookmarklet that you drag to your browser's bookmark bar. If you're viewing a book on amazon.com, it'll take you to the book's page at amazon.co.uk. If you're happy editing the JavaScript, it's not difficult to tweak it for other countries. |
