Finally! Some Good Reviews
I get lots of 'likes' clicked for my books, but nearly every review is one star. And this is usually after a free promo. What is it about readers who read free books that fires them up to trash the story and author so quickly? If I can't give a book at least 3 stars, I won't review it. I will not crush an author.
Anyhow, I've learned my lesson. Don't expect anymore free books anytime soon from me.
It's been awhile since I've done a free promo and I have found some people do like my books well enough to take the time to type out a 5 star review, squee!
I suppose I trigger something emotional in readers. Either they HATE my books or the LOVE them. If they are expecting the normal NYT bestselling commercial fiction, that's not what they are getting. My books are quite different. I don't write a book that I feel will appeal to the masses. I write the story that comes deep from my demons and angels. I can't help it.
Anyhow, here are a few 5 star reviews I've discovered:
"EXCELLENT I loved this orginal story. Time travel, romance, evil villians, and strange family secrets made for a real page turner or screen tapping. Well done author." "Wow! I've never been a real super natural, other worldly type kind o reader. But, figured it was free so I'd read and ditch if I didn't like where the story was going. Loved this book. Couldn't put it down. So creative and enjoyable!" The Immaculate DeceptionBy Sherry Silver
After her SUV meets the business end of a deer, Oh-Donna is pulled into an exciting dreamland far away from her peon job and selfish siblings--where mystery, murder and romance take over. Her debonair angel takes her time traveling through the sordid pasts of her Secret Service Agent mother and her genius medical researcher father--who was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. Oh-Donna discovers she is the first baby born from an ovarian transplant. She must sleuth out the dark secrets of her D.N.A. and close an unsolved murder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read January 12, 2013 By Pamela K Kinney
Format:Kindle Edition
"Hundred Dollar Bill is set during the Forties--one of my favorite eras. It has a spunky heroine, Chloe Lambert, who also happens to be a Secret Service agent working undercover to find the counterfeiter ring in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. She must flee when the man she became involved with and found out is married, is killed by his wife and she is framed for the murder by the counterfeiters. Thanks to help from her landlady, she travels to Miami Beach, Florida where she gets a room above a bakery and a job in a bank, counting pennies. The setting may be glamorous but her life is no longer that. But things change.
She runs into an old flame and fellow agent, Mike Taurus. He doesn't believe she is guilty of killing anyone or even being treasonous. But others do believe this, including possibly the current president, Franklin Roosevelt. Mike joins Chloe in a madcap endeavor to solve this caper. Worse, there are bad guys after them, plus it seems her murdered boyfriend is not dead as she was lead to believe. Things couldn't get more complicated for the hero and heroine, but this adds more fun for the readers.
If you enjoy watching the Lucille Ball madcap comedies or any of the great mysteries/comedies of the Thirties/Forties, plus read a good romance, then this book is for you. Ms. Morris does a dandy fine job with the storyline and sucks you into it and you don't stop until the HEA end."
5.0 out of 5 stars A Hilarious Ride Through 1945 October 6, 2010 By Diane Scott Lewis Format:Paperback "When Secret Service Agent Chloe Lambert is framed for murder by counterfeiters, she follows their devious trail from Washington DC to Miami. Complicating her mission is Mike Taurus, a handsome man from her past, who's also an agent. Chloe and Mike collide in several interesting ways as she struggles to clear her name and solve the crime which involves the White House of President Roosevelt. Kick back and enjoy this amusing caper where you'll never know who might show up: the intrepid First Lady for one." Hundred Dollar BillBy Sherry Silver The year is 1945. Roosevelt is President. World War II is coming to a head. Thieves, spies and other wise guys are working everywhere…including in branches of the U.S. government.Chloe Lambert is a sweet little thing whom mothers love to love and sailors love to pinch. She's also a sharp-tongued Secret Service agent—a Secret Service agent who has been framed for murder by a band of counterfeiters. Mike Taurus, also an agent, is tough as nails, cool as ice and devilishly handsome. He also has a past with Chloe. As the two of them make a mad dash from Washington, D.C. to Miami Beach, they'll stop at nothing to solve this monumental caper. It's a made-for-the-movies adventure that Alfred Hitchcock could only wish he'd dreamed up himself! Read the First Chapter!

A Hilarious Romp
March 26, 2012 By Diane Scott Lewis Format:Paperback"If you enjoy quirky characters and unpredictable plots, you'll love this book. Sandra Faire joins a writers conference on a train to get her "crappy" life in order and pursue her dream of being a cozy mystery author. But nothing goes as she hopes, including her run-in with the most inappropriate man, a hunk of a detective she calls Lt. Hottie. Plus, her meddlesome mother barges in on the journey to make matters more complicated. People end up dead and Sandra scrambles to uncover the truth in her own calamity of a mystery.
Sandra is the hapless everywoman with a lousy job and a non-existent love-life. Suspend belief and join her on this madcap romp as she weaves her way through one mishap after another. And this all starts with her finding a body on the beach. Extremely funny." Inappropriateby Sherry Silver By day, Sandra plucks trash off Cocoa Beach, points tourists to the restrooms and sometimes discovers dead bodies. By night, she’s a cozy mystery author wannabe. Sandra has an aversion to cops, one homicide detective in particular. They have nothing in common except pheromones. She was eighteen the first time he kissed her and the last. Five years ago, he answered his cell and ran off to work, leaving her panting on the kitchen table with a hurricane looming.
Lieutenant Hottie is married to his career. He moved up the ranks early and engrossed himself in bringing murderers to justice. Serious relationships are out of the question, he’s too busy and not interested. The only woman he wants is off limits. He has built a wall around his heart and won’t let himself be hurt again.
Sandra is attending a writers conference aboard private rail cars. It was organized by the wife of a popular televangelist. The writers are traveling alongside devout Christians on their cross-country crusade. Sandra's loving but hyper-critical mother has finagled a ticket to ride. The morning before departure, Sandra finds a dead sailor on the beach. On the train, Sandra must keep her lips off Lieutenant Hottie and unmask the murderer before another soul derails. All aboard!
