Night Corridor Book Signing and New Reviews
Joan Hall Hovey signing books at Coles Bookstore, McAllister Place, in Saint John, New Brunswick on Saturday May 28.
"Suspense from the get go. Night Corridor is a great read that will keep the reader guessing the identity of the killer till the end. You also cannot help but wish the best for Caroline in her new life journey. Mystery, suspense and a bit of romance all make it worth your time to read." ~ Matilda, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance & More
"This book is intricately plotted and will surprise even the most devoted mystery reader. I challenge any reader to stop on page 190 of this 255 page book, to tell me who is the real serial murderer. The answer will surely blow you away. It did me. Gripping suspense!" ~ Sandra Heptinstall, Midwest Reviews

First Degree Innocence by Ginger Simpson
First Degree Innocence
Carrie Lang’s sheltered life ends with a prison sentence for involvement in a bank robbery. Her arrest comes on the day she’s called in sick and stayed inside, so she can’t explain how an eye-witness describes her in great detail, down to the make and model of her car.
A terrible mistake has been made, and her insistence of innocence falls on deaf ears. Even her fellow inmates don’t believe her as it’s a claim they all make. Alone in the world, she has no one to turn to for help, and not a single soul to campaign for her freedom…at least until she makes a valuable friend.
In the meantime, a plan for retribution is brewing, and naïve Carrie finds herself smack dab in the middle of an evil scheme concocted by the prison bully. A ten year sentence seems mild when she’s threatened with death for refusing to participate. Can Carrie find a way out of this horrible nightmare, or is she destined to spend her days locked in terror, isolation, and the cold gray interior of prison walls?
"Ginger Simpson pulls the reader in on page one and doesn't let go until the end of the story. What a brilliant, emotional story - one I will never forget. Bravo, Ms. Simpson for writing a masterpiece!" ~Marie Higgins
"Have you ever wondered how it might feel to be wrongly accused? Ginger Simpson masterfully takes you on such a journey. Readers are emotionally drawn to the trials and tribulations of the main character, Carrie. For a suspenseful look at life behind bars and a story that promises justice in the end, I highly recommend First Degree Innocence." ~ Ciara Gold
"First Degree Innocence is a captivating, thrilling story that gripped me from start to finish. The heroine, Carrie Lang, is relatable and charming, despite her horrible situation, and the hero is a charismatic Prince Charming with handcuffs. Ginger Simpson has truly outdone herself with this riveting piece of work." ~ Miranda Miller, Editingrealm.com
"A riveting and highly entertaining read. This book starts out with a bang and continues through to the last page. First Degree Innocence is an exceptional book that will have you hooked right from the beginning. If you love to root for the underdog, look no further, you've found the perfect book." Val, You Gotta Read Reviews
"This book took me on a wildly emotional ride as I rapidly turned the pages until I had consumed the entire book down to the final satisfying sentence. The various character interactions are portrayed realistically. All have well-defined motivations, and it was quite easy for me to picture the on-going action like a movie in my head. Speaking of which, this story would make an awesome movie! Highly Recommended." ~ Laura, Coffee Time Romance & More, 5 Cups
"First Degree Innocence tells the story of a young woman who learns to overcome fear, stand up, and face her nemesis head-on. The pay-off may be worth the pain. I recommend First Degree Innocence to any reader, especially one who enjoys an intense story with a little mystery. You'll be surprised and pleased with the ending" ~ Celia Yeary, Reviewer

Great new review for Sandcastles of Love by Sydell Voeller
"For one amazing summer, Logan Becker's family trades their home in Minnesota for a beach front home in Oregon. Logan's thrilled to experience something different, as is Tricia, the teen daughter of the family heading to Minnesota. When she meets the boy of her dreams, she expects her summer is going to really be unforgettable. What Logan doesn't realize is that her dream boy is actually Tricia's boyfriend, and that there's another boy who really wants to be Logan's special someone for the summer.
Sandcastles of Love is a very short teen romance. Despite the short length, the story is solid and definitely well suited to romance readers. Logan does come off as a little selfish, but I remember those days and it comes with the age.
For light summer reading, Sydell Voeller's teen romance is a great choice. I'm betting that many teen girls will relate to Logan and wish they had their very own beach romance." ~ Tracy Farnsworth, Round Table Reviews

More great reviews of Chill Waters by Joan Hall Hovey
"I love when I discover new thriller/mystery authors. I have just finished Joan Hall Hovey's Chill Waters and it is a superb suspense novel. She grabs you from the opening pages and the suspense does not let up until the chilling conclusion. Move over Mary Higgins Clark. Hall Hovey writes a taut psychological thriller without explosions or car chases, but this is truly well written suspense. I plan to check out her other novels, Nowhere to Hide and Listen to the Shadows. Joan, you have a new fan." ~ James A. Anderson, Author, Deadline
"Joan Hall Hovey's Nowhere to Hide was billed as scarier than Silence of the Lambs. It's easy to see why. The man of many faces, Charlie Morley, fits all the serial killer profile hallmarks: resentment of his mother, cruelty to animals, first killing as a child, and sexual sadism. He's also a sociopath who had unnatural feelings for his half-sister, who he killed. Tommy Prichard, the bad boy of Jenny's Cove, with an alcoholic father who has no regard for women, might follow the same pattern. The local authorities and the entire town think so, particularly after the murder of Tommy's girlfriend, Heather Myers, who bears a striking resemblance to Charlie Morley's stepsister Marie.
Unfortunately, Rachael Warren, moving back to Jenny's Cove to lick her wounds in her artist grandmother's old house after the breakup of her marriage, also resembles Marie. And Tommy gets the blame for some freakish stalker happenings at her cabin. But Heather, along with psychic artist Iris Brandt and Iris' handsome widowed nephew Peter, Tommy's teacher, believe the boy is innocent. Is Martin Dunn, Rachael's new tenant on her grandmother's property, just a harmless writer? And what happened to the mysterious doctor who attended Heather Myers just before she was murdered in the hospital? What sinister role does Tommy's abusive drunken father Nate play in the gruesome goings-on? Are Iris's psychic visions accurate? Will Tommy be exonerated? Why do the good residents of Jenny's Cove seem like such psycho magnets? Will Rachael and Peter find true romance? And will you be able to sleep with the lights off after reading CHILL WATERS, a taut thriller that combines well-drawn vivid characters with an engaging plot?
Rachael is a magnetically likeable heroine, and Peter Gardner fills his muscular frame well as her sleuthing counterpart concerned about his student. Rachael's transformation from walking wounded to feisty survivor will leave you cheering." ~ Kristin J. Johnson

New Book Trailer for Winter Fire by Kathy Fischer-Brown
Trailer by Kim Chatel of Blazing Trailers.
Winter Fire
When Ethan Caine pulled the unconscious woman from the half-frozen creek, he had no idea that his world was about to explode. Dressed in clothes of Iroquois design and on the run for a murder she might have committed, she stirred up dark secrets from his Indian fighting past. Yet she was everything he desired. He needed to know the truth.
When Ethan Caine pulled the unconscious woman from the half-frozen creek, he had no idea that his world was about to explode. Dressed in clothes of Iroquois design and on the run for a murder she might have committed, she stirred up dark secrets from his Indian fighting past. Yet she was everything he desired. He needed to know the truth.
He needed to find a way to trust her.
Banished by the Seneca who had adopted and raised her, ostracized by the whites in the settlement, Zara Grey wanted only to be accepted. "Ethancaine" treated her with kindness and concern. It was easy to trust him. But her Indian ways disturbed him, and in her heart she would always be Seneca.
"Reminiscent of 'Last of the Mohicans' with its raw, haunting mood, Winter Fire, by Kathy Fischer-Brown, is a compelling story of love and hate, acceptance, and forgiveness. Oft times painful, it is a rich, exciting read through a dark time told exquisitely by an exceptional writer." --Bonnie Napoli, author of Shadows of the Eclipse
5 Stars "[The] characters leap off the page into your heart. I highly recommend it for avid lovers of an excellent read in historical romance. This novel is a keeper." --Shelia Jordan, Women On Writing

"As the story unfolds one can't stop reading. I would recommend this story to anyone looking for a touching read with great characters and a wonderful setting." --Wendy Keel, eBook Reviews Weekly

Ms. Fischer-Brown has accomplished this! Bravo! Winter Fire is a true winner. Read it, you’ll love it!" --Margaret Marr, Romance at its Best

5 Hearts for Kicking Bots by Vijaya Schartz
"I really enjoyed this book. Even though I hadn't read the previous two... I have always been interested in the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi and this story nicely filled in the blanks... Melissa was a very believable character, proving the old adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely... Sevastian, on the other hand, had to come to grips with the fact that he did not always have to be the one in total control of any situation... exceptionally well written. I am definitely going to have to find the previous books and check them out as well." ~ Xion, The Romance Studio, 5 Hearts
