Reviver Book Review

Image
I don't usually read horror, but my cousin was in town and she loves the genre. So we downloaded the audio book from the library (love my library!) and played it on the road on our way to Thanksgiving dinner. I was hooked. Reviver by Seth Patrick begins with Jonah Miller performing a revival. This is not the kind of revival we usually think of. In Jonah's world, there are people who can revive the dead for only a few moments. There are two main reasons to do this: 1) the dead are revived to say good-bye to loved ones, and 2) the dead are revived to name their killer. Jonah's job is to ask the murdered dead about their deaths and try to get information on their killer. Everything is routine until Jonah's most recent revival. When the dead woman Jonah revives speaks to him in a voice he knows is not her own, he realizes there is something in the darkness beyond death and it's watching him. After a famous writer is murdered, Jonah becomes involved deeper than h...

here is a link that will take you to the book: http://bookstore.xlibris.com/Products/SKU-000780005/The-Wizard-and-the-Fairy-Princess.aspx The Wizard and the Fairy Princess - H. F. Galloway : Xlibris bookstore.xlibris.com about the author: Having always been a storyteller, I was asked by a friend of mine if I would create a story with her being one of the characters. She had always dreamed of being a fairy. I said “Sure,” not having much knowledge of what being a fairy was. Churning my brain, I began the research. Every night, a piece of the story arrived while I slept, filtered in the subconscious mind. Being a writer, I get to savor the story like a fine meal, embracing every moment until sadly, happily, and unexpectedly it comes to the end. synopsis:A human is accidently transported back to an enchanted world where fairies live, and he begins to acquire magical powers, eventually becoming a wizard. At the same time, a fairy egg...

I want to thank Tasha for having me as a guest on her blog. I love talking about how I came to be a writer and how I put my stories together. My promise to my readers is that I write authentic crime while telling arresting stories. As a retired twenty-one year veteran of the Los Angeles Police department, I weave small bits and pieces of my experiences as a police officer into the stories I write. Police work is not always pretty and sometimes the reality can be troubling to those who don't wear the badge. Those who do wear the badge usually learn coping mechanisms for the evil acts people inflict on one another. Most police officers like to think they are trained to handle whatever the streets throw at them – and usually they are prepared. However, a year or so ago, police officers all over Southern California and, in particular, the LAPD were on edge – and with good reason. A former LAPD officer felt he'd been wrongly fired from the department and wrote a rambli...

Miss Maryland/Children's Miracle Network Donations!

Hey ya'll! I'm hoping to participate in the Miss Maryland competitions this year, but first I need to raise some money for the Children's Miracle Network! By donating to help me compete, you will also be helping sick children in the Maryland area and supporting the Miss America Organization. I had the best time being Miss Queen Anne-Hillsboro VFC Fire Prevention Queen 2012-2014, Distinguished Young Woman of the Eastern Shore for the Class of 2014, and Job's Daughter Honored Queen for Bethel 7 (Dover, DE) and hope to have great times with the Miss Maryland organization as well. Besides those "royal" titles, I also love lifeguarding, scuba diving, travelling and writing for PrincessReviews! If you could help spread the word about donating, or donate anything yourself, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you! xoxo, Tasha PS. Each contestant also needs a platform, or cause other the CMN that they'll be supporting. After finding out about the dangerous ...
