How do you go from teaching medicine to writing mystery novels?

Today I'm delighted to welcome author Vee Kumari to my blog, as she celebrates the release of Dharma, a Rekhaq Rao Mystery.

So, Vee, how does someone with a background in medicine end up writing a mystery series?

What Did Jesus Say About All This?

Today I'm spotlighting and reviewing a gorgeous book called What Did Jesus Say... by Rev. Terry Christian. I was lucky enough to get an ecopy of my own and I loved it.


so here's my review:
What did Jesus say…
by Rev. Terry Allan Christian

Subtitled “The Seven Messages from the Master,” and graced with a beautiful beach-and-ocean cover, Rev. Terry Christian’s book makes me think first of the Passion of Christ, and second of that wonderful “Footsteps” poem, as steps walk across the sand. And indeed...

A Few More Titles from my Review List

I love to read and I enjoy writing book reviews. But enjoyment isn't love, so I've decided to spend more time reading, more time writing books (which I also love), and more time editing (which I get paid for), therefore less time reviewing.

Hope you can find a good book "just for you" in this list.
I reviewed Willa's Grove by Lau...

Locked in, locked out, wondering who we are or who we will be when the changed world gets back to "normal"... It seems like a good time to read a good book about women wondering just who they are.
