Lyn Reviews Marta Perry’s The Wedding Quilt Bride

The Wedding Quilt Bride by Marta Perry

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I must first say that Marta Perry is a very dear friend; however, that doesn’t mean I can’t write an honest review of her work. If I didn’t like her books, I wouldn’t review them. BUT I ALWAYS LIKE HER BOOKS! And this one is no exception. Her characters are primarily Amish of course in this story but they could have been anyone.
The conflict revolves around their pasts and what they “think” is true. Which turns out not to be as true as they thought.

Lyn Reviews Gretchen Sprague’s Murder in a Heat Wave

Murder in a Heat Wave by Gretchen Sprague

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wandering through a local second-hand bookstore which was closing (Sigh…), I noticed this book and picked it up–intrigued by the title. I read the blurb and the first page and decided to buy if for 50 cents. After I read it, I was sorry, I hadn’t picked up the other two titles in the series. And looking Gretchen up online, I discovered that she died suddenly around 2004 and that was the end of her mysteries. That’s a lesson to all authors–WRITE FAST. None of us know how many books we will be able to finish. (I am taking my own advice.

Need Comments for Another Cover Model or Four! #1

I have another newer historical series coming out this fall. Yippee!
And of course, I need help choosing the most evocative model for each cover.
“The Carlyle Women” is a family saga of four generations in one family from the start to near the end of the 20th century. Each heroine and hence each model will reflect the period that she lives in. They are: 1920’s, 1930-40’s, 1960-80’s and 1990.
As usual I’ve done the spade work and have a choice of 3 or so for each. Please vote here on my blog or Facebook page. As usual each cover will reward one commenter with a $10 amazon gift card in four random drawings one for each–such a deal!!

PLEASE SHARE YOUR CHOICE AND REASONS and maybe you’ll win a gift card!–Lyn Cote
