Great Review – Jacob's Ladder

I got thrilling praise for Jacob's Ladder from Night Owl Reviews, and I thought I'd share it here. It's a Night Owl Reviews Top Pick, and the reviewer gave it a very long and thoughtful review. Among other things, she said:

Z.A. Maxfield has a lyrical way of writing that makes it easy to escape into the world that she creates for her characters. I admit that I'm not a fan of the first person narrative when it comes to reading romances. Honestly, I usually avoid them, because I really prefer...

Terrific Review

I got a terrific review for Jacob's Ladder from Jenre on Reviews By Jessewave! She had these kind word to say:

For those of you who, like me, have fallen in love with this series, Jacob's Ladder is an absolute must. For those who haven't read any of the books in this series yet, it is possible to read this book as a stand-a-lone, although you will probably want to read the rest of the series once you read this one! I highly recommend Jacob's Ladder and I'm greatly looking forward to the next...

SN3 Excerpt

Because some of you asked…

It surprised me when I awoke and didn't hear the bus's engines. I'd coughed a little, taking care to turn my head and press the cough into my shoulder, the very model of good, ethical hygiene. When I dragged my puffy eyes open, I realized that the older gentleman who had been sitting next to me had left for parts unknown. So had the girls who sat in front of me. The pain meds had long since worn off, leaving me achy and febrile.

I focused my eyes and saw the face of t...

Contest For SN3

Jacob's Ladder, St. Nacho's 3

So, anyway, I thought we'd have a contest.

Good LUCK! Notes without SN3 Contest in the subject line might not get in, BTW, I've only just figured out how to collect all the...

Pardon Our Dust

By now you may have realized that I'm giving my website an overhaul. It isn't that it was necessary, per se, but a girl doesn't like to wear the same dress for YEARS, and with summer coming I thought it the perfect time to show up in something new!

Unfortunately, when I took my website from the old server and moved it to the new, all my images disappeared. I can't say that's the worst problem I've ever had so I'm just taking my time and going through post by post to put them back. Hopefully...

Stirring Up Change

Things don't always go as you plan, do they? MLR Press and I planned to have my foodie novella, Stirring Up Trouble, out by middle to late May and it doesn't look like that is going to be possible. Since I always like to take my time in the figurative kitchen of my imagination, making sure that everything is Done To Perfection (Ooh, I smell a sequel) and served up piping hot for my readers it makes sense to wait till it's fully cooked and ready to go…

Next month, I'm expecting the release of...
