The Hemlock Aperture by Steve Hooley is this week’s Reader Friday post. I’ve had requests from readers for a book for their middle-grade reader and didn’t know where to point them. But once I read one of Steve Hooley’s Bolt Series books, I was hooked. I had someone to recommend. A little background on Steve. He’s a retired doctor who …
The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch is this week’s Reader Friday. This week I’m doing something a little different in that I’m giving you the last three sentences of the first chapter: “I fear this will be my last entry. But I fear every entry might be my last. She’s tried to kill me before.” And now I’ll leave …
Where’s the Quetzal? (The Empty Nesters Book 2) by Jen Dodrill is this week’s Reader Friday. Here are the first two lines: “I woke, panting and sweating, sheets twisted around my feet. Eight months since the murders and the Keatons’ escape, and I still suffered from crazy dreams.” But first the photo and verse. This is a photo of the …
One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: “He inhaled the stiff resolution of her death. She’d seen Cyrus. Remembered him.” But first the photo and verse.

The Hunted Heir by Jayna Breigh is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first paragraph: ANOTHER NEW YEAR’S Eve, and Nona Taylor’s prayer remained unanswered. Still. The digital clock on the microwave read 6:20. Five hours and forty minutes until midnight. Five hours and forty minutes until she begged God—again—to grant her one, her only, request. But first the photo …
Suppose I Hadn’t Listened by Barbara D’Antoni Diggs is this week’s Reader Friday. Here are the first few lines: Israel 1973. For a week I braved the rush hour traffic between Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington D.C.. On the seventh night, I was asked a question. It never occurred to me my whole life would change if I answered, “Yes.” But …
A Will and a Way (Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farms Book 11) by Johnnie Alexander is this week’s Reader Friday. here’s the first line: “One last tiny stitch, a snip of the thread, and the gentle application of a bandage brought an end to the lifesaving operation.” But first this week’s photo and verse. I took the photo at a …
