Celebrate with Linda Welch

Celebrate with Linda Welch

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 5, 2010

It is nice to be able to celebrate the good news of a friend, and I am very happy to say that we have reason to celebrate. The landscape of publishing is changing, in particular with the advent of the ebook, and self-publishing is increasingly becoming a viable option, and one which is beginning to grow legs as a door opener for other opportunities, as Boyd Morrison proved with his book The Ark, as was discussed in previous post Who Needs a Publisher Anyway?

Review 158: Hit List by Darcia Helle

Review 158: Hit List by Darcia Helle

By LK Gardner-Griffie on July 29, 2010

What would you do if you came to visit your mother one day and found her huddled in the closet, rocking back and forth, clutching a baby blanket tightly in her hand? And how does the confused and fearful woman connect to a mafia like-gang, drugs, a baby ring, sleezy cops, and an unknown assasin?

Review 149: Eye of the Witch by Dana Donovan

A phone rings in the middle of the night, and former police detective Tony Marcella know who will be on the other end. His friend and partner for thirty years on the force, Carlos Rodriguez, is calling Tony because he has a case, that isn’t a case and needs his former partner’s help.

Review 145: Sewing a Friendship by Natalie Tinti

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 29, 2010

This past weekend I had the pleasure of participating in the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books held at UCLA. This particular event is awe inspiring as an author to see the number of people all excited about books.

Review 142: As the Twig Is Bent by Joe Perrone, Jr.

Review 142: As the Twig Is Bent by Joe Perrone, Jr.

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 26, 2010

For as long as I can remember, I have loved reading mysteries. The idea of discerning clues as I read the story and trying to come up with the answer before the detective does has always given mysteries a little extra spice for me.

Review 131: Okay by Katherine Marple

Review 131: Okay by Katherine Marple

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 15, 2010

Sixteen is a pivotal age, stranded between childhood and adulthood. At sixteen life ranges from ecstasy to despair and the cause of the emotion can be trivial or momentous. I remember wanting to be taken seriously, to be treated more as an adult than a child.

Review 125: T’Aragam by Jack W. Regan

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 13, 2009

Review 121: 600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster

Review 121: 600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 23, 2009

What would life be like if you were a 39 year old man plagued with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and Asperger’s Disorder? What would happen if your routines were upset and suddenly life seemed to be spiraling out of control?

Review 114: I Rode With Cullen Baker by RLB Hartmann

Review 114: I Rode With Cullen Baker by RLB Hartmann

By LK Gardner-Griffie on October 1, 2009

As I Rode with Cullen Baker opens, we are met with a scene evocative of Gone with the Wind with Tara burning in the background. Set in the South in the midst of the civil war, fifteen year old Jessica Linville watched while the Federal cavalry burned her house to the ground.
