Laid Out and Candle Lit by Ann Everett Reviewed by Lynnette Phillips

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Tizzy is half of the Lucy and Ethel team of Brownsboro, TX. She also communes with the dead and bakes some of the dreamiest Sweet Thangs in town (maybe the state). She happily takes a run past the cemetery every morning until the day she finds the body of the bank owner kneeling over her late husband's grave. Now Ranger Ridge Cooper has come to town to investigate and the fun really begins.

If you're looking for some light escapist reading with a couple of laughs, a few small town characters and a bit of romance mixed in this is it. Definitely a fun read!

Available in Kindle and Paperback Editions

Did You Ever Find Yourself Spellbound by a Book? The Outlander Series Continues

That was me when I started reading The Outlander--spellbound.

Good thing I'm not a genre snob or I would not have ever picked up The Outlander. I'm not into fantasy or romance. My favorite genres are historical fiction and mystery/thrillers/suspense and all of the sub-genres including legal, young adult and children's but when you get right down to it I'll read just about anything.

The Outlander just reached out and grabbed me and wouldn't let go. It had everything; action, adventure, compassion, family, loyalty, devotion, courage, triumph and tragedy and of course love. I was so disappointed when I completed the series (In record time I might add.).

That was it? No More?

Well now I, and millions of others, can rejoice. Diana Gabaldon is releasing another in her brilliant series in June of this year. It can be pre-ordered at Amazon now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

In her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears . . . into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it “a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries].” Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart’s Blood.

About the Author 
Diana Gabaldon is the New York Times bestselling author of the wildly popular Outlander novels-Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, and A Breath of Snow and Ashes (for which she won a Quill Award and the Corine International Book Prize)-and one work of nonfiction, The Outlandish Companion, as well as the bestselling series featuring Lord John Grey, a character she introduced in Voyager. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.
