Friday, November 29, 2019


If you like non stop adventure with a slight time travel--well not time travel exactly--but souls reappearing century after century because of a feud that began centuries ago--and like traveling the world with the characters--you will love this book! Of course there is romance involved--but we will have to wait for the next book to see what happens there. Good guys--bad guys--good hearted souls who have to kill to protect others and of course pirates--there is not much that this book doesn't touch on! Twists, Turns and so much more---and an ending that will make you want to read the next in the series!!

About the Book: (from Amazon)

This award-winning first novel sails from France to Spain, Morocco and Egypt. A sword mistress will aid René and an ancient brother will oppose him. For a timeless hatred, blood is not the only payment. Death is but the least of life’s penalties.


Sold aboard a slave ship, René Gilbert must remember who he was in a previous lifetime to save those he loves in this one. A three-thousand-year-old vengeance waits.


Alexandre Dumas meets Horatio Hornblower and The Mummy in this sweeping, swashbuckling tale. ̶ Kirkus Reviews

The Sun God's Heir: Return, is an epic story, taking you into a time where actions and words ripple from the past into the present and then invade the future. A truly remarkable story. ̶ Readers Favorite

$25 Amazon/PP-1-WW-Snowfall at Moonglow (Christmas at Moonglow Bk #5-Deborah Garner Ends 12/15

Wednesday, November 27, 2019



This is one series I look forward to reading with every new one put out! Do you like warm, fuzzy feeling novels filled with good will and love and delicious cookies? (Cookie recipes at the end of the story) Then this series is one you will enjoy. I have read them all and although it helps if you read them in order--there is really no need-but fair warning--you will want to read the rest!!

The Timberton Hotel is like a home away from home--guests reappear each Christmas to partake in the marvelous hospitality and camaraderie with the help of the resident chef and artist Mist. The owner of the hotel is lovable as is her boyfriend who is forever stealing food before the guests-he is the official taste tester! He has a sixth sense of when to appear in the kitchen!!

I can't say enough good things about this series--except I truly wish I could visit a place like this-a truly magical respite from the troubles we all have.


NEW RELEASE….

Each holiday season, new and returning guests gather in the small town of Timberton, Montana, to celebrate Christmas at the Timberton Hotel. Resident artist and chef Mist’s unique way of offering exceptional cuisine, exquisite décor, and a touch of the unexpected, has a way of bringing visitors and local townsfolk together in heartfelt camaraderie.

As this year’s guests arrive with hopes of a white Christmas, unseasonably warm weather hints at a less-than-wintery wonderland. But whether the snow falls or not, one thing is certain: with Mist around, there's bound to be a little magic. No one ever leaves Timberton without renewed hope for the future.

Mistletoe at Moonglow, The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 1 

The Timberton Hotel has always provided a perfect Christmas retreat for regular guests, as well as newcomers. But the small town of Timberton, Montana, hasn't been the same since resident chef and artist, Mist, arrived, bringing a unique new age flavor to the old western town.

When guests check in for the holidays, they bring along worries, fears and broken hearts, unaware that Mist has a way of working magic in people's lives. Old-fashioned time spent together, exquisite food, conversation and a snowball or two offer guests a chance to trade sadness for hope. One thing is certain: no matter how cold winter's grip is on each guest, no one leaves Timberton without a warmer heart.

Silver Bells at Moonglow by [Garner, Deborah]
Silver Bells at Moonglow, The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 2 

Christmas at the Timberton Hotel arrives each year with a unique set of guests, some returning, some new. When this holiday brings a celebrity seeking reprieve, sisters who are distant yet closer to each other than they think, a widow approaching a new horizon, and an eclectic smattering of local townsfolk and visiting relatives, the season is certain to be eventful. Add in a hint of romance and there's more than snow in the air around the small Montana town.

Elegant decor and exquisite cuisine from resident artist and chef, Mist, form a backdrop to much needed camaraderie, bringing strangers and friends together. When the last note of Christmas carols has faded away, the soft whisper of silver bells from the front door's wreath will usher guests and townsfolk alike back into the world with hope for the coming year.

Gingerbread at Moonglow, The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 3



The small town of Timberton, Montana, boasts an ambiance of near-magical proportions during the Christmas season, due in no small part to resident artist and chef Mist's mysterious way of working small miracles in people's everyday lives. Each year, return guests and new arrivals mingle with local townsfolk to enjoy companionship, exquisite decor, and exceptional cuisine at The Timberton Hotel.



As the aromas of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses mix with heartfelt camaraderie and sweet romance, guests share reflections on family, friendship, and life. Although decorating the outside of a gingerbread house may prove easier than deciding what goes inside, no one leaves Timberton without renewed hope for the future.


Available to buy from...... 
Nutcracker at Moonglow, The Moonglow Christmas Series, Book 4



The small Montana town of Timberton has a way of bringing magic to the holidays, especially for guests of the local hotel. Resident artist and chef Mist has a way of touching people's lives with exquisite cuisine, imaginative art, and her own ethereal nature. 



When a nearby theatre burns down just before Christmas, cast members of The Nutcracker arrive at the Timberton Hotel with only a sliver of holiday joy. Camaraderie, compassion, and shared inspiration combine to help at least one hidden dream come true. As with every Christmas season in Timberton, this year's guests will face the New Year with a renewed sense of hope.

A good Chef's knife is always a good utensil to own-actually owning more then one is not such a bad idea-I happen to need a new one right now. I'm not certain what the tape light is or does--my guess is that there is a light so that if you have to measure something where there is little to no light this will definitely make it a lot easier to get the correct measurement. Really read both the reviews below then come back and enter--the chef's knife alone is worth it!!
