Really not sure why I’m writing a column today…I mean, it is the End of All Things, right?

Well, anyway, since the year is winding down maybe even if the planet isn’t, it seems like an appropriate time for me to go back to the well I have gone to so many times before, and share with you some real one-star reviews on real books.

Lynne Cantwell Announces New Title

Author Lynne Cantwell is pleased to announce the release of her new urban fantasy, paranormal romance, Tapped: Book Three of the Pipe Woman Chronicles.

Ah, winter in South Dakota…

Naomi’s caught some kind of bug, and she hasn’t seen Joseph in weeks. But she lets Shannon drag her on vacation: a road trip to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to find Naomi’s father. There, they find more than they bargained for: a dream wolf, a mysterious walled compound that might or might not belong to Loki, and a lot of snow.

Shannon certainly knows how to show a friend a good time…

Tapped: Book Three of the Pipe Woman Chronicles was released on December 2, 2012. It is available on Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.

Featured Book: Dear Crossing

Dear Crossing
by Marjorie Swift Doering

Ray Schiller’s personal demons are sucking him down like quicksand. Moving his family from Chicago to Widmer, Minnesota in an effort to leave a tragic past behind has only added to his problems. Now, with his marriage on the verge of disintegration, the grisly murder of a prominent Minneapolis businessman’s wife at the couple’s lakeside summer home, forces Ray to follow the trail of evidence to the Twin Cities. Working with homicide detective Dick Waverly, they begin to look into the widower’s carefully guarded personal life. The executive’s plan to take over his father-in-law’s corporation depends on keeping them in the dark.

The case is turned on its head when ambition, power, love and hate result in lethal consequences. With the case turned on its head, Ray is forced to return to Widmer where an unthinkable incident makes him the subject of a harrowing Internal Affairs investigation. Pushed to the brink personally and professionally, Ray realizes the “devil” is in the details.

Dear Crossing is available from Amazon.
