Rainbow Award Honorable Mention for Drama Castle

I am thrilled to report Drama Castle, the 7th Nicky and Noah mystery, received a Rainbow Award Honorable Mention in the Mystery category! Here’s a quote from the judges: “Wow. Is all I have to say about Drama Castle by Joe Cosentino. It's funny, enchanting, dramatic, and even suspenseful. The dialogue is quick-witted and realistic, full of humor and puns. The plot thickens when would-be actors and heirs to a real castle start dropping off like flies. The characters feel true to life, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, good and bad sides. The writing is done with humorous flare and the pace is fast, while never too rushed. I was kept guessing and hoping throughout. And the ending wrapped everything up with a nice red ribbon. Cannot recommend this higher! I'm definitely adding all the other stories in the series to my TBR list."

Lovely Drama Dance Review from Edge Media Network

“Author Joe Cosentino has crafted yet another cast of colorful, quixotic and deliciously catty characters, each of whom desperately tries to take center stage - and, in some cases, dies trying....Considering The Nutcracker is a holiday show, Cosentino offers a refreshing break from the summer heat and invites you to cool off in Vermont with the welcoming company of Nicky, Noah, and Taavi." Thank you Christopher Verleger of Edge Media for the lovely review of Drama Dance, the 8th Nicky and Noah mystery novel!

Rainbow Award Honorable Mention for Drama Detective, 5th Nicky and Noah mystery novel!

As Nicky might say, "I'm happier than an anti-gay politician in a gay bar during a blackout!" I'm very happy and proud to report Drama Detective, the 5th Nicky and Noah mystery novel, received a Rainbow Award Honorable Mention today. Here is part of what one of the judge's had to say about it: "To say it’s tongue in cheek would of course be an understatement, but what surprised (and gladdened) me was the amount of heart in the story, particularly in the family dynamics and relationships between Nicky, Noah, and Taavi. There are a lot of sobering issues addressed in this book, but the over-the-top silliness that abounds coupled with the uncomplicated prose delivery softens the blow and allows for the dark to work together with the light....there were also several comic gems that had me laughing out loud. I enjoyed this! It put a smile on my face." http://myBook.to/DramaDetective
