Book Review-Rebel Queen-Michelle Moran

Saturday, February 28, 2015


This book is based on historical fact. The author outlines what has been changed in her prologue. England was really into colonization at one point in history and as George Bernard Shaw in 1897 according to a front piece in the book says:

"Every Englishman is born with a certain miraculous power that makes him master of the world. When he wants a thing, he never tells himself that he wants it. He waits patiently until there comes into his mind, no one knows how, a burning conviction that it is his moral and religious duty to conquer those who have got the thing he wants."

This is the story of India and the people, both villagers and high born leaders. There is one leader who is a female warrior and she breaks purdah for herself and 10 warrior females, carefully chosen to protect her. It is also the story of one of those chosen and how her life and the life of her family is changed forever by the invasion. The British have decided that they want India and will do anything to annex it.

This is a well written and thoughtful book, one I would recommend any person who likes historical novels with the ring of truth. I certainly enjoyed reading it. Remember history so that it does not happen again!

About the Book: (from Amazon)

From the internationally bestselling author of Nefertiti and Cleopatra’s Daughter comes the breathtaking story of Queen Lakshmi—India’s Joan of Arc—who against all odds defied the mighty British invasion to defend her beloved kingdom.

When the British Empire sets its sights on India in the mid-nineteenth century, it expects a quick and easy conquest. India is fractured and divided into kingdoms, each independent and wary of one another, seemingly no match for the might of the English. But when they arrive in the Kingdom of Jhansi, the British army is met with a surprising challenge.

Instead of surrendering, Queen Lakshmi raises two armies—one male and one female—and rides into battle, determined to protect her country and her people. Although her soldiers may not appear at first to be formidable against superior British weaponry and training, Lakshmi refuses to back down from the empire determined to take away the land she loves.

Told from the unexpected perspective of Sita—Queen Lakshmi’s most favored companion and most trusted soldier in the all-female army—Rebel Queen shines a light on a time and place rarely explored in historical fiction. In the tradition of her bestselling novel, Nefertiti, and through her strong, independent heroines fighting to make their way in a male dominated world, Michelle Moran brings nineteenth-century India to rich, vibrant life.

This book will be published on March 3, 2015

About the Author: (from Amazon)


Michelle Moran was born in southern California. After attending Pomona College, she earned a Masters Degree from the Claremont Graduate University. During her six years as a public high school teacher, Michelle used her summers to travel around the world, and it was her experiences as a volunteer on archaeological digs that inspired her to write historical fiction. She is the international bestselling author of Nefertiti, The Heretic Queen, Cleopatra's Daughter, Madame Tussaud, and The Second Empress. Her novels have been translated into more than twenty languages, and in 2011, her fourth book, Madame Tussaud, was optioned for a mini-series. Recently, Michelle was married in India, and it is no coincidence that her next two books will be set in the East.

Review - Instacandi - the Perfect Small Gift!

Friday, February 27, 2015



These sweet treats could not have come at a better time for me--I really needed some cheering up after the day that I had. I won't go into it--just know that it was BAD. It is bad enough it has been freezing cold around here!! I was so happy when I opened my mailbox and saw the pretty pink envelope with Instacandi's return address. It was a padded envelope so all the candy was in perfect condition--you know I opened it right away. Actually I received 2 of them! I don't know whether they made a mistake but I am forever grateful. A very pretty card was enclosed as promised with my message on the back


--I had them write CANDY FOR ME! The candy itself was in a small cellophane bag with polka dots. There was some confetti inside with the candy. I didn't waste too much time looking at it--I wanted at that candy.


I had choosen the Happy Candiversary assortment (in pic right above this)-This is what was included:

*Sweet-Tarts
*Caramel Creams Bullseye
*Bit-O-Honey
*Chocolate Candy Hearts
*Rainbow Lollipop
*Milky Way
*Mini Hershey Chocolate Bar
*Hershey Kisses
*Lime Sassy Green Striped Candy
*Starburst Fruit Chews
*Hard Candy Fruit Slices
*Lifesavers Hard Candy
*Three Musketeers
*Tootsie Roll Frutie
*Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

These are all miniature sizes-but each was fresh and mouth watering good (I've eaten most of one bag already-like I said it has been a bad, bad day).

Ordering is really simple. They got it to me quickly as well! These would make great gifts for those you want to get a little something to make them feel special.

All packages are $9.99 and include shipping!

Book Review-Skeletal-Katherine Hayton

Thursday, February 26, 2015


I had no idea what this book would be about when I agreed to read and review it. Katherine Hayton really knows how to write and draw the readers in. I could not stop reading this book--I read late into the night! It is not what you think by looking at the cover. It is the recounting of a dead girl's life-told by her-as she is sitting in the courtroom after they finally found her body and are having an inquest! It goes through the whole sordid life this girl lived--from an alcoholic Mom to be constantly bullied and to being contacted by a ghost that is attempting to help her. But all is not as it seems and if I go into much more I will give it all away. I really suggest you read this book--it is an after the the fact psychological murder mystery which you will not soon forget. I know I won't. There is some explicit language actually necessary to the storyline so the author recommends for 17+ only. The author has written two other books which I will be getting eventually.

About the Book: (from Amazon)

Three months before she died Daina Harrow faced a bully at school.
Six weeks before she died Daina Harrow suffered an assault in the park.
One week before she died Daina Harrow stole a secret people had killed to hide.

That was ten years ago. Ten long years.

Now, her bones have been found on a building site. A coroner's inquest has been reopened. A parade of witnesses is about to start.
And Daina's here. Watching every day as her mother cries in the courtroom. Watching every day as her friends, and her enemies, and her killers lie about her on the stand.
Watching, and making sure that no matter what the coroner hears, you know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

So help you God.

Warning: this book contains some bad language, and scenes of sexual assault. Recommended for ages 17+ only.

Read a chapter or two here

About the Author: (from Amazon)


Katherine Hayton is a 41 year old woman who works in insurance, doesn't have children or pets, can't drive, has lived in Christchurch her entire life, and currently resides two minutes walk from where she was born.

For some reason she's developed a rich fantasy life.

Rev/GA-ZenJen Organic Skin Care Trio-Night (arv 56.00)-US-Ends 3/25

Wednesday, February 25, 2015


I have 64 year old skin--not too many wrinkles thankfully--but there are a couple that I have noticed recently. Plus with this winter being so very cold my entire face is DRY. Now I have never had bags or dark circles under my eyes until the ophthalmologist told me I had to use eye drops twice a day due to a condition I have--bags and dark circles have appeared and I am not a happy camper!! So, when I was asked to do a review of ZenJen Non GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, NO Animal testing and Paraben Free products I jumped on it! Especially since there was an eye cream involved!! All ingredients are listed on each box-but here are the pertinent ones.

I received the Organic Skin Care Trio-Night which includes:

Good Night Moon Beam (Replenish) - Antioxidents, Vitamin A, Hyaluronic (click here to find out what this is!)


Botanical Complex-Nutrient Dense, Firming and Moisturizing.
Vitamin A: Carrot Juice and Sea Bucksthorne-full of Vitamin A-promoting healthy skin.
Rooibos Extract: Potent anti-oxident, Tightening and Soothing
Hyaluronic-Increase Moisture and Elasticity.


Ageless C Serum (Rewind) - Tighten, Brighten, Exfoliate


Acerola Cherries: Natural source of Vitamin C-65 times greater then an Orange-brightening the skin.
Derma Peptide Revitalization: Tighten, Tone and Cellular Renewal
AHA Fruit Acids: Exfoliates dead skin cells revealing Fresh, Smooth Skin


Wake Up Bright Eyes (Repair) - Diminishes Lines, Puffs and Circles


Revital-Eyes: Immediate and perceivable skin tightening and lifting
Avocado: High source of Vitamin K-lighten dark circles and diminish puffiness
Eyebright: Soothes and tones

Each box has the following message in addition to the full list of ingredients in each:

"Live in harmony with nature taking the natural path to healthy, more beautiful looking skin. We provide pure Plant based skin care created in small batches, balancing rejuvenating, nourishing and active goodness at optimal levels to repair and renew skin's youthful glow."


I have used them for a couple of days now and my skin does feel a lot more moisturized--not as dry. The lines on my forehead are far less noticeable. As for my eyes--it will probably take a bit longer for the bags to recede as said bags are being caused by prescription eye drops. The circles have definitely started to disappear. A little bit goes a long way and not much is needed to cover your entire face. The Cool night Moon Beam does have a strong citrus scent when you first put it on-but that disappears very quickly. I did not notice a strong scent at first application with the other two. The only downside is my hands feel slightly sticky right after applying it. But a little water and the stickiness leaves (no soap needed.

Sea of Love ebook-5 Winners-WW-Rev of Seaside Secrets-Melissa Foster-Ends 4/2


This is, in my opinion, one of the most heart wrenching of all the Melissa Foster Books. It hit home in a couple of ways for me anyway. Amy is the last of the Seaside girls to be "single". Her heart is set on Tony Black--but no one knows their deep dark secret. Family angst seems to have thrown these two for a loop. Will Amy be able to let go of her past--will Tony ever be able to trust again? Can they overcome their insecurities? Can the love they once knew blossom again? Will this be a happily ever after or not? Read the book!

Book Review-Marriage & Murder (A Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series - Book 4)-Dianne Harman


I definitely think anyone who loves cozy mysteries with a bit of clean romance, dogs and really tasty sounding food should read this series! Actually I can't see anyone not loving this series. And yes, I think it would be good for younger readers as well. But as always-parents read it yourself before handing it over! I may be attempting one or two of those recipes at the end of this book myself!

Kelly is still crossing her fingers behind her back and finding the clues her new husband needs to solve murders (he is the Sheriff which he keeps having to remind her!). Of course it is the dogs who ultimately keep everyone safe--and I laughed out loud at the last sentence in this book!

"Rebel and Lady looked at one another, rolled over, and went back to sleep."

About the Book (from Amazon)

4th Book in the much loved Cedar Bay Cozy mystery series from Amazon All Star Author - Dianne Harman

After a long courtship, Kelly, the owner of Kelly’s Koffee Shop, and Mike, the county sheriff, finally get married. Their honeymoon is cut short when Jesse, the owner of the local wine store called 'The Crush' gets murdered. Why would anyone want to murder Jesse, a likeable and legendary wine expert?

There are a number of suspects including his ex-wife, an alcoholic who hates liquor stores, a Mafia hit man, a wealthy French woman, two winemaking brothers, and even his sister. But who did it? Join Kelly, Mike, and their dogs, Rebel and Lady, as they seek to find the killer. Along the way, you’ll find lots of good food and mouth-watering recipes.

This is the fourth book in the best-selling Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series.

About the Author: (from Amazon)(Picture from Twitter)


Dianne Harman draws her stories and characters from a diverse business and personal background. She owned a national antique and art appraisal business for many years, left that industry, and opened two yoga centers where she taught yoga and certified yoga instructors. She's traveled extensively throughout the world, most recently dividing her time between Huntington Beach, California and Sacramento, California, where her husband was a Senator. An avid reader, Dianne brings the richness of her life experiences to her novels, Blue Coyote Motel, Coyote in Provence, and Cornered Coyote - all of which are available now in the Coyote Series. She is also the author of Tea Party Teddy and Tea Party Teddy's Legacy, California political novels.

Being a dog lover and having attended cooking schools all over the world, she couldn't resist writing about food and dogs - and her first cozy mystery, Kelly's Koffee Shop was written. It is #1 on the culinary cozy mystery list and #3 on animals. Her second book in the Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery series, Murder at Jade Cove, will be published soon..

An Award Winning Bestseller, Blue Coyote Motel was selected as a quarter finalist in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award contest, Goodreads Psychological Thriller of the Month Book, and e-thriller Book of the Month. Blue Coyote Motel and Coyote in Provence were finalists in Chanticleer's CLUE awards contest.

Blue Coyote Motel is a suspenseful love story which begins in the barrios of Southern California and spans the globe in such diverse locations as Provence, South America, and the Himalayas. The beautiful Latina, Maria, and her husband, Jeffrey, a scientist fired from a prestigious laboratory, struggle to build a new life in a remote Southern California desert area as owners of the motel.

Along with the anti-aging hormone, Jeffrey invents a "feel-good" wonder drug to help Maria with her depression. As Jeffrey becomes insane, he begins to experiment with the wonder drug. Six wayward travelers, including an alcoholic priest, a couple who own gold mines in Brazil, a depressed widow, a struggling salesman, and a Native American pediatrician, find themselves spending the night at the small motel. The next morning they wake up feeling better than ever. Has Jeffrey's miracle drug delivered? Or is the nightmare of addiction only beginning?

Coyote in Provence and Cornered Coyote complete the trilogy which spans the globe and introduces a character, Slade Kelly, a loveable irascible private eye, who many say has become their favorite literary character. The Mafia, food, wine, art, Provence, courtroom drama - all find a place in these books.

The Teddy saga is a multicultural romance set against the political background of California. It's the story of Nina, whose husband succumbs to the power of his office. Bigoted and biased, the ultimate irony occurs when she becomes romantically involved with the founder of the Republicans for Latinos, and in the process, discovers herself. The story continues in Tea Party Teddy's Legacy, a conclusion to Tea Party Teddy in the form of a novella.

$50 Amazon/PP-WW-BOOKER: Streets of Mayhem by John Mefford (Booker #1)-Ends 3/15

Monday, February 23, 2015


Do you like psychological mind blowing thrillers? Then this novel is definitely for you! I read it in one sitting-and am still shivering at some of the images which were artfully portrayed by the author's choice of words. Booker-a police officer is suspended after he finds one of the other officers beating up on an old drunk and will not lie and change his story.

Then the bombings begin----and Booker is bound and determined to help find the culprit or culprits responsible. He is toying with the idea of becoming a PI and does get his first job thanks to an old friend who owns a bar that Booker frequents. There is actually a bit of comedy, albeit street comedy, in this novel as friends interact with friends.

You will know who the bomber is and possibly why he does this--and all is explained at the end of the book. Does Booker become a PI--will he reconcile with his daughter's mother? All I know (or am willing to say at this point) is that I am glad this will be a series--one I will be following!



NEW RELEASE....

On a cool October afternoon, the majestic blue sky above Dallas is polluted with swells of gray smoke, carrying shattered memories of fifteen people, mostly children, who've just been killed by an explosion on a bus.

A white supremacist group claims responsibility, opening old wounds, turning neighbor against neighbor--fracturing the community.
A Southeast Dallas native, Booker T. Adams couldn't be more invested in the city…in the people he'd served for the last seven years as a beat cop for the Dallas Police Department. Without warning, it becomes personal for Booker on so many levels. And as panic grips the city, he must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to end the chaos.

With his career called into question and his family in the crosshairs of one terrorist act after another, Booker invests every fiber of his being to protect a broken community, and to stop the brutal, senseless slayings.

If he fails, terrorism will reign in the city of Dallas.

Review - Ourpact – Parental Control and Device Management

Saturday, February 21, 2015


Do you have a young child who has an electronic device such as a tablet or a phone? Do they use the internet and download apps on their devices? If so, you probably have the same fear as most parents; your child can be exposed to inappropriate and/or dangerous apps, websites, etc.


Ourpact is a newly developed app designed by ParentsWare that helps to control your child’s devices using parental control and management. You can block certain apps, block the internet, and schedule a usage time for your child’s device.

This app is extremely easy to use and set up. First, you download it on to your device and sign up for your free account. You will be entering your name, email address and a password for your account. After that, the app will prompt you to go to a specific web URL on your child’s device and pair them up. By doing this, you will have full access to what they are able to do, download, and the time they are allowed to use their device.

If at any point in time your child’s device is unmanaged, your app will alert you immediately so you can correct that if you want to. There are two ways to block apps on your child’s device using this app. You can choose between a manual block and a scheduled block. If you would like to perform a manual block, this will immediately block the app from being downloaded on their device. You can also use a scheduled block, which will allow them to use the app during a certain time period, but not before or after the set time you choose.

If you have company over and would like your child to stay off of their device, simply go to your FAMILY screen within your app and click on “Block Access” and that will go into effect immediately. You can always reverse that when company leaves or when you are ready for them to play on their tablet or phone again.



This app is great for parents who want to be able to monitor what their kids are doing and set a schedule for tablet/phone time during the week and on weekends. I highly recommend it!

Book Review-Mansion of Meows (A Klepto Cat Mystery Volume 9)-Patricia Fry

Friday, February 20, 2015


I just couldn't resist purchasing this cozy mystery with my own funds. I truly enjoy reading about Rags's escapades and his owner's who end up in more trouble then it sometimes seems worth it because of this rapscallion cat!! This time Rags has to be saved when he suddenly disappears from his documentary debut! Maggie and Savannah get lost in the marsh and Maggie gets conked over the head. There is a deep dark secret in the mansion and this time they have to call their sheriff friend from back home to help solve it!

About the Book: (from Amazon)

Rags's documentary is scheduled to debut. The showing will take place at the investor's San Francisco mansion, where the Ivey family and film crew will stay. Of course, the mansion holds secrets and Rags is instrumental in letting the cats out of the bag.
Savannah and Aunt Margaret share another daring adventure and, of course, find themselves in deeper than they expected.
This mystery may be the most eerie in the Klepto Cat Mystery series.
