Ice by Barbara M. Hodges and Randolph Tower

Want to generate a little heat, try some Ice.

Sherice Solomon, the serial killer known as Ice, is moving west.

Santa Maria, California police Detective Darcie Devonshire is sure Ice has made it to the central coast when a body turns up in a dumpster with the killer’s distinctive kill-slice across his throat.

With the discovery of the body, also comes the shock of Morgan Garrett, Darcie’s ex CIA partner and lover, standing beside the dead man.

Morgan stumbles upon the body while in a drunken stupor and has no memory of how he ended up in the alley. He is held briefly by the Santa Maria police and released. A decision to sober up takes him to Pacific Winds, a clinic for substance abusers.

At Pacific Winds, Sherice Solomon, has taken a position as a clinical psychologist.  With her first encounter with Morgan, she decides he will join her on her hunts.  A decision, Arahni, the soul in the shafra that speaks and guides Sherice, refuses to accept.

When Darcie and Morgan discover each other again old feelings ignite. This Sherice will not tolerate, there can be only one answer. Darcie must die.

"Barbara M. Hodges and Randolph Tower have created on very scary book. It contains all the elements of a great horror novel with a touch of fantasy. The fantasy didn't surprise me since Barbara is the queen of fantasy fiction. ICE is definitely a page turner, sometimes I had to grit my teeth because I guessed what was coming--and it did--in all it's horrifying and bloody gory. Enjoyed ICE even though it gave me night mares." ~ Marilyn Meredith, author of Lingering Spirit, an Axe to Grind and Dispel the Mist

"Authors Barbara M. Hodges and Randolph Tower take their readers on a wild ride to stop a killer before it’s too late. Two outstanding authors created this diabolical character who shows no remorse when killing, enjoys and thrives on the blood baths and wants to possess, not only her guided spirit, but Morgan too. Men or women, it does not make a difference to Ice. She wants control, and in her own mind her father’s approval which she never got. Vividly created and fast paced with each chapter told in the voice of one character, we feel their frustrations, fears; understand their motives and desires with a cutting edge result. Who wins and who dies? Find out when you read this outstanding novel by two great authors? What is the final fate of Darcie and Morgan? Only this reviewer and the authors know." ~ Fran Lewis, Reviewer

It's late June when Sam Champion drives into an Illinois town and sees a "Grow Browning" billboard, with the population, 3653, in changeable numbers, like those on a scoreboard.

Hot Summer Reading: Sandcastles of Love by Sydell Voeller


When Logan Becker's family embarks on a summer "house swapping" vacation in a beach town in Oregon, Logan is overjoyed.  Similarly, Tricia Merrit, the daughter of the other family, is thrilled to be in the farm belt of Minnesota.

Logan falls in love with the beach boy surfer of her dreams, but soon she discovers he's Tricia's boyfriend.  Logan's dreams are shattered.  Meanwhile, there's another boy who is attracted to Logan—the totally uncool Grant Duncan who is busy trying to launch a campaign to clean the local beaches.  Can Logan come to realize that true love often reveals itself in unexpected ways?

"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

"A wonderful story of a summer romance with interesting twists and turns..."  ~ Michelle Poulson-vick at Sharpwriter Reviews

"Ms. Voeller's talent is superb, and I was impressed with her ability to write as if she were the actual teenager in the book. Sandcastles of Love is a light-hearted young adult romance that's attention grabbing, well-written, and charming." ~ J.B. Leese,  A Story Weaver

“Young readers will enjoy Sandcastles of Love, particularly ones who love the beach.  Ms. Voeller’s descriptions of the Oregon coast are wonderful, as are the scenes where Grant teaches Logan to build sand castles.  Well-written, interesting, and delightfully romantic, they made me want to grab a bucket, take off my shoes and start digging...” Reviewed by Carrie Masek, Scribes World Reviews

Now available: Echoes by Erin Quinn

Echoes

One day Tess Carson gets the call she's always feared. Her sister has vanished. 

And so Tess rushes to a small town in California to look for answers. While the police follow evidence that connects her sister to a brutal murder, Tess is drawn into a danger that seems to reach back to the town's tortured past. Two enigmatic brothers offer Tess their help but the more she learns, the more they draw her in, the more she realizes that one of them is responsible for her sister’s disappearance. But which one?

As Tess searches for clues about her sister, she begins to experience strange and terrifying visions. Not simply hallucinations, they are flashbacks to a past life where Tess relives the heartbreak of another woman—one who is also torn by violence and love. Tess can’t deny the connection she feels to this woman, nor can she deny the sense that history is bent on repeating. Two men. Two brothers. One woman. A deadly combination. 

As the echoes of a long forgotten tragedy reverberate through her life, Tess realizes she must face her deepest fears before she can escape the terrifying cycle of vengeance and at last find the love denied her in a time gone by.
 
"Wow, right out of the blue and just when you least it expect it, a knock-out novel of romantic suspense. From the first page to the last, author Erin Quinn deftly juggles two intertwining stories, one taking place in the present day and another more than 150 years earlier, delivering nothing less than a fascinating read.... ECHOES is so far above the general run of romantic suspense, that I unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.” All About Romance

"Echoes is one terrific story which will hook you immediately and keep you spellbound as you travel through time.   Rich in mystery and romance, a cast of fascinating, unforgettable characters, outstanding narrative, and a love through time, this book is worth the money.”   Affaire de Coeur Magazine

"Secrets, peril and eerie revelations make this debut paranormal thriller stimulating reading. Those who love the parallel story technique will thoroughly enjoy watching this two-tiered story unfold.” Romantic Times

“ECHOES is a stunning page-turner that will grip readers from page one. This one is destined for the keeper shelf!” Love Romances

Now available: Male Wanted by Betty Jo Schuler

When Taylor Gayle advertises in The Town Crier for a male to date, Max Stuart misprints her ad to indicate she’s looking for a “sadomasochistic male to mate” and includes her address. To atone for his mistakes, Max becomes her live-in protector. Now, who’s going to protect this high school librarian from the unbelievably sexy newspaper editor? And who’s going to save Max?

Taylor Gayle names her plants, dulls her hair with a brown rinse, and envies her fraternal twin sister of her beauty. Max Stuart plays with noisy toys, brings home his sister's dog Muttso, and sets fire to Taylor's kitchen. The elevator in their apartment building is an accident-waiting-to-happen, but the landlady is more concerned with whether Taylor and Max are "cohabitating." Glorious Apartments are as misnamed as Progressive High School and Boomtown, Ohio. Nothing is what it seems in this slaphappy romance.
