Interview with Lisa Regan
1. When did you start reading?
My parents and grandparents always read to me. I was reading on my own at 5.
2. What was the first book you remember reading?
The Monster at The End of This Book with Sesame Street’s Grover in it. I knew that Grover was the monster at the end but it still scared the crap out of me every time I read it!
3. What attracted you to or got you started reading?
My grandfather, Walt was a big reader. He used to go to the library once a week, come home with a stack of books and mow right through them. My mom and stepdad always read, and there were always books in our house. For as far back as I can remember I was surrounded by books and readers.
4. What was the first book that had a real ‘wow’ factor for you?

Interview with Kim from Read Your Writes Book Reviews
Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Kim from Read Your Writes Book Reviews. If you love to read and want to know if a book is good or not, Kim writes really thorough reviews that let's you get a feel for the book, so you can tell if it is one that you will like to read or not.
Kim's Bio: Oh, the tell me about yourself question.... Let’s see... I’m a shy girl from Texas, who loves Tex-Mex. I don’t talk very much, because I’m shy. But get me on the computer and I’m a totally different person. I’m a former accountant (but I’m nice and a little funny) turned stay at home mom to two humans, two cats, and a Husky. I’m lucky enough to hear the Pacific from my living room.
Read Your Write Website: www.readyourwrites.blogspot.com
1. When did you start reading?
Honestly, while most girls were reading Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, I was reading The Knowledge Encyclopedia. I could actually tell you everything you wanted to know about all 50 states. Then when everyone was reading the latest Sweet Valley High books, I was reading the one magazine my mother bought, Newsweek. Are you sensing a nerd vibe? I didn’t really start to love reading until around 2008, when the first Twilight movie came out. I had to find out what the big fuss was all about so I started to devour the books. After reading all of them in a fairly short amount of time, I discovered I liked reading. Up until that point I was always on my computer playing The Sims.
2. What was the first book you remember reading?
I’m going to have to say Run Spot Run, because that’s the book that popped into my head.

Wind's Aria by Tessa Stockton - Review
Wind's Aria by Tessa Stockton - Review
BLURB:
Elected as the Songstress, Aria takes her place on the sacred platform to sing before every dawn. As long as she does so, peace and abundant life belong to her people. One morning, amidst a strange wind that brings with it a curse in its eerie howl, Aria loses her ability to make music. But the encroaching death that transpires isn’t her biggest tragedy. It’s that she adores the cause of her blunder, for he’s a magnificent winged creature who’s stolen more than her voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
“Who are you?”
He pushed further back into the shadows as she strode closer. “Someone you need not know.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
When he didn’t answer, she sighed.
“What a strange, terrible day,” she mumbled. “Well, at least tell me your name . . .”

Untangling the Knot by Deanne Wilsted
UNTANGLING THE KNOT
By
Deanne Wilsted
BLURB:
“I did what?”
Twenty-eight year old Gabriella Bessu is St. Therese’s meticulous wedding ceremony coordinator. So the fact that she has mistakenly signed her newest couple up for an annulment, rather than a wedding, sends her Catholic guilt into overdrive.
But who can blame her? The groom is gorgeous and his two kids tug at Gabriella’s heart in a way that overcomes all her best intentions. Before long she’s in over her head, fixing her mixed-up plans and helping the children and dad come to terms with their haunting grief for the mother and wife they lost years earlier.
Can Gabriella untangle her own fears and accept the messy life that God has handed them?
EXCERPT:
Gabriella heard Mandy’s screech all the way down the corridor. Oh no! That didn’t sound good. She’d sort of thought Mandy appeared wound up when they had first arrived at the office but she couldn’t imagine what would have made her explode like that.
She didn’t have to wait long to find out. Seconds later, Mandy stormed into her office pointing a piece of paper at her like a gun. Within moments, Ryan and Fr. O’Shea followed her through the door, Ryan seeming confused and Fr. O looking apologetic.

Review of Seven Year Itch by S.D. Skye
The Seven Year Itch by S.D. Skye – Book Review Tour
BLURB:
Her Family Was Vexed With a Generational Curse. Now for Lie Detecting FBI Spy Catcher J.J. McCall, the Truth is in The Seven Year Itch.
FBI Special Agent J.J. McCall is a born lie detector who recruits foreign spies to catch American traitors. She and co-case agent Tony Donato have lost two of their most critical Russian sources in the past two years, and they may lose another in just a few short days if they don’t catch him, The ICE PHANTOM, a rumored insider spy more insidious and elusive than Ames and Hanssen combined. They suspect he might be burrowed deep inside FBI counterintelligence—and his body count is going up.
Drawn into an unsanctioned mole hunt, they have a week to catch him, save a key source’s life—and their own. While J.J.’s lie detecting ability helps them narrow down the list of suspects, the lie she tells to herself may help the ICE PHANTOM defect to Moscow and get away with the murder of the man she loves.
Skye’s debut FBI Series, filled with mystery, espionage, romance, and suspense, will keep you burning through the pages until J.J. catches the very last spy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Review:
The Seven Year Itch is a good spy story. FBI Agent JJ, who is cursed or blessed, depending on how you look at it, with an interesting twist on how to detect liars, must use all her skills to discover who killed two of her spies and who is selling the United States secrets.
Sure that there is a mole in the FBI, JJ and her partner Tony, have to figure out who it is before all their hard work is destroyed and more people die. JJ manages to turn another Russian to be their informant and who is also willing to help them figure out who is illegally passing on their FBI information.

Interview with Roberta Capizzi, author of The Melody in Our Hearts
Interview and GC giveaway with author Roberta Capizzi...
1. When did you start reading?
I didn’t go to kindergarten, so I spent the days with my mum; she read books for me, until I wanted to learn to read all by myself and she taught me to read using children’s magazines. I fell in love with books and I never stopped. Books have been my life ever since.
2. What was the first book you remember reading?
Ooh tough one! It was a long time ago, so I don’t really remember, but there’s one book I remember reading and loving when I was a child: The eyes of the Amaryllis by Natalie Babbitt.
3. What attracted you to or got you started reading?
I guess it was in my DNA, because I can’t remember a time in my life when I haven’t been reading. I’ve always been a bookworm, and I remember visiting my relatives and asking my older cousins if I could borrow their books, so I could read them while my parents spent time with my uncles and aunts.
4. What was the first book that had a real ‘wow’ factor for you?

Identity Crisis by Eliza Daly - My Review
Identity Crisis by Eliza Daly - Review
When Olivia Doyle’s father dies under suspicious circumstances, rather than inheriting a family fortune, she inherits a new identity. She learns they were placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program when she was five years old. Her father was involved in an art forgery ring and testified against the mob. Brought up not to trust anyone, Olivia has a difficult time relying on U.S. Marshal Ethan Ryder to protect her, and to keep her secret. She fears her father may have continued his life of crime through her art gallery. She has little choice but to depend on Ethan when she realizes someone is now after her. Olivia’s search for the truth leads her and Ethan across country to a family and past she doesn’t remember.
At the age of ten, Ethan witnessed a brutal murder. He vowed when he grew up, he’d protect people in danger. Protecting Olivia is difficult when she won’t trust him. He soon realizes his desire to protect her goes beyond doing his job, but if his judgment becomes clouded by emotions, her safety could be jeopardized.
Can Ethan and Olivia learn to trust each other when they uncover secrets that will change their lives forever?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Review:
I really enjoyed this romance. It grabbed me from the first chapter, where Olivia is burying her father and then she reads a letter he has left her. She discovers he'd been a criminal and they had entered the witness protection program when she was little. Not only is she angry at him but she fears he might have used her Art Gallery as a front for selling his art forgeries. Determined to prove that isn't true and to find the family she never knew she had, she calls the agent from the Witness Protection Program.
Ethan, the agent who has taken over their case, is determined to keep Olivia safe, when her dad's and then her place is burglarized. He suggests...

Flying in Shadows by RT Wolfe
Flying in Shadows by RT Wolfe - Review
BLURB:
Andy Reed is a fast-talking, high-flying building developer and has been in love exactly one time in his life. Dr. Rosemarie Piper has not only been his best friend since childhood, she is the most highly respected upcoming conservation biologist in the northeast who can, also, hold her own in a bar fight. Rose learned her love for conservation from her mother. She learned her love for Andy through a lifetime of memories and connections. What she had never learned was she was the product of a brutal assault by a serial rapist and extortionist. Rose’s mother worked for twenty-six years to keep Rose’s identity hidden. Now, Andy vows to keep their polar differences from ripping them apart while keeping her safe and catching a killer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
“Hot, built and sexy is here.” Grace chided as she popped a canapé in her mouth.
“I told you; he’s all yours.” Rose shrugged slightly, watching him laugh with his brother from her peripheral vision.
“Tempting, but I have a date.” Grace gestured to the snack table as said date tipped over a bowl of dipped chocolates onto the white linen tablecloth.
Rose noticed Andy and his date as they walked toward a table holding the shrimp and sushi samples.
Grace elbowed her playfully in the ribs. “It’s the knight. Don’t kick him in the face this time. He saved the cranes.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Review:
For me, Flying in the Shadows was an intersting read. It was like reading two stories. The first half was more of a young adult book about Andy and Rose and how they met as kids and...

Review and Interview with Dawn Husted
Author Dawn Husted - Interview and Review of her book Silently Screaming
1. When did you start reading?
I read a lot of the American Girl books as a young kid, they were thin and filled with adventure, plus very easy to read. As I became a teenager, I was more interested in sports and activities rather than reading. However after college, when I became a mom, I started reading again. Books were a doorway into another reality without actually having to go anywhere. I loved it and from there, my passion for writing grew.
2. What was the first book you remember reading?
American Girl – Samantha; I forgot all about these books until now. And I can remember staying up really late with a flashlight, just so that I could finish reading.
3. What attracted you to or got you started reading?
A book series I started reading years ago was the renowned Twilight. Of course I’ve read much more, but that was the series that started it all. From reading these, I got this crazy notion to begin writing my first book, Nicova, a book that sits quietly in my desk drawer (poorly written). However, creating that book was what inspired me to keep writing. Shortly after that, I wrote the Windor Series. Writing has become an addiction and passion that I have to carefully balance with the daily life of being a mom. It’s been a great journey and I hope to never run out of ideas!!
4. What was the first book that had a real 'wow' factor for you?
I like too many books now; they all have that ‘wow’ factor in one way or another. I’m passionate about science fiction and...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Four: Excerpt
“Well, what do you want me to do?” Nikki began getting a little nervous. This couldn’t be a good thing. The baby wasn’t supposed to come for a few more weeks. What if he wasn’t developed a hundred percent? What if he is…what’s the word…premature?
“I dropped my phone on the ground and it slid under the wall. I need you to find it and call my mom, FAST.”
Nikki bent down and looked beneath the door on the right. A shiny glittery case sparkled back at her and she grabbed the phone, then tried to open the door where Caroline was.
But it didn’t budge.
She tried the door again.
Nothing.
“Caroline!” Nikki’s chest rose up and down, and her hands felt weak.
Caroline still hadn’t responded.
Nikki knew it would be gross, however she didn’t care and knew that she had to. She leaned down and slid underneath the stall door touching as little of the ground as possible, and that’s when she saw Caroline.
Her hands were permanently pressed against the side walls and her eyes were focused on an invisible area in space. Nikki unlocked the door right away, providing more room for air to flow, trying to jar Caroline from her comatose state.
“Okay, don’t worry,” Nikki said. “I’m going to call your mom, and she’s going to take you straight to the hospital.”

Cover Reveal - Just One Cup by Cassandra Giovanni
Just One Cup

Emma Walker was a writer who'd lost herself to someone else's anger--who had given up on ever feeling like herself again. Evan Levesque was a rock-god--the one all the woman wanted, but he'd never gotten used to the loneliness between the stage and real life.
