Healing Waters by Nancy Rue and Stephen Arterburn is not a novel that’s easily described. I guess I could label it part mystery, part drama, part romance. Although it’s the second book in the Sullivan Crisp series, it stands alone (so well, in fact, that I didn’t realize it was part of a series until…

I Love You, Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan
One of the first memories I have of politics is Ronald Reagan’s speech accepting the Republican Nomination for President in 1980. I was mesmerized by this man who became our President. I thought he was charming, well-spoken and sincere. Reading I Love You, Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan confirmed that I…
On Reading: Poetry
Every once in a while, I think I should read more poetry. And by more, I mean some. To be honest, I’m not sure I’ve read any poetry (other than the occasional greeting card) since college. So, when I saw 100 Essential American Poems at the library, I picked it up in hopes that I…

The Night Watchman
Ray Quinn is a cop who’s lost it all…his health, his job, and the woman he loves. Nearly a year after the ambush that wounded him and killed his partner, Ray finds himself reduced to being a night watchman at a condo unit in Orlando. His nights are spent with an overeager co-worker and sudoku…
Before the Season Ends
I’ve been trying to expand my reading horizons lately, and have (for the most part) enjoyed the change. Still it was a great treat to pick up Before the Season Ends by Linore Rose Burkard and come back to one of my favorite eras, 19th Century England. I was intrigued from the opening lines, Something…
