Inside the Book

Title: FATAL AGREEMENTS
Author: Ashley Fontainne
Publisher: RMSW Press
Pages: 449
Genre: Mystery/Suspense/Thriller
BOOK BLURB:
Whispered rumors tickled the ears of the residents of an entire town for decades about the disturbing secrets of the old Halstead House, dating all the way back to the early 1920s. Most people didn’t believe them. Several people will soon discover they should have listened.
Three years after struggling to cope with the death of her beloved father and escaping an abusive relationship, Samantha Chapman decides it’s time to return to her hometown of Hot Springs. She buys the ramshackle Halstead House, eager to transform the dilapidated, abandoned piece of history into her new law office and residence, hoping it will be the start of a brighter chapter and a safe haven to escape her personal demons.
Instead of newfound freedom, things take a dark turn when the resurrection of the old home reveals the disturbing secrets hidden within its walls. When youthful transgressions of numerous people come to light, including ones some members of the Chapman family are desperate to contain, it reveals the sins of the past. They collide with the grave mistakes of the present, creating a perfect storm of chaos and death for not only the Chapman family but others as well.
Some will survive.
Others will get burned.
Sam and her loved ones realize some family secrets should have remained buried.

My Take:  This is the first book I have read by Ashley Fontainne and I supremely enjoyed it.  It had everything you could want in a thriller and then some.  You could basically feel the creepiness come off the page from the very beginning and it just kept building from there.  I will definetly be going back and reading some more of this authors books.  If you like thrillers then this is a book for you.

Miss Management by Traci Highland

Miss Management banner 2Pump Up Your Book is pleased to bring you Traci Highland’s MISS MANAGEMENT Virtual Book Tour October 1 – November 30 2018!

Inside the Book

Miss ManagementTitle: MISS MANAGEMENT
Author: Traci Highland
Publisher: Cheshire Lane Press
Pages: 215
Genre: Romantic Comedy
BOOK BLURB:
Mags has gotten herself in a ton of trouble: she’s lost her job, any hope for references, and she’s going to run out of money…. fast.
Yeah, sure, it may be her fault for punching her boss, but the jerk totally had it coming.
Nobody listens to her until she reaches her boiling point, and by then, well, she’ll admit that there’s no stopping Mr. Fist To The Face.
Now her years of hard work as a speech therapist are about to go down the drain unless she can find some way to salvage her career. So when her Aunt Elise calls to say that she has a job for her, it’s not like she can say no, even if the job is up in the wilds of Vermont.
Between stuffed moose, sloppy dogs and sexy men, Vermont proves to be a lot more interesting than she expected. But when she uncovers a scheme that would put her new employers’ livelihood in jeopardy, more than just hydrangea bushes are about to get squashed.

My Take:  This book is the second in a series and it might be good to read the first book but you can totally read this book without reading the first one.  There are some humorous parts but there is also some serious things talked about like PTSD and body image.  All together I enjoyed this book and I will probably read other books by this author.

Deadly Ground by Thomas W. Starbuck and Judy Belshe-Toernblom: On Tour

Posted on August 1, 2018
Deadly Ground by Thomas W. Starbuck and Judy Belshe-ToernblomDeadly Ground by Thomas W. Starbuck and Judy Belshe-Toernblom

Category: Fantasy,  Romance, Science Fiction Lite, Post Apocalyptic

Deadly Ground
“Deadly Ground” – a riveting story about the human race under threat, with a rare DNA condition providing a second chance for humanity. A fast-paced novel that reads like an apocalypse movie with a biological viral disease, some romance, and aliens in the mix, centered on the unforgettable human main character AB, who becomes the hope for humanity’s regeneration.
By author Thomas W. Starbuck, whose storyline for “Deadly Ground” was adapted and written by Judy Belshe-Toernblom.

Praise Deadly Ground by Thomas W. Starbuck and Judy Belshe-Toernblom

“Great concept…makes you think. Could history be repeating itself? Fast read. Anxious for the sequel.”- Peggy Holder, Amazon
“A really good book and definitely a page-turner. I really liked the characters which is so important to me when I read a book. And the story really makes you think a lot about the things that are going on around us throughout the world. This was a different type of book than I normally read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book has something for so many readers’ interests – some fantasy, some romance, some sci-fi. It’s also a quick read. I’m looking forward to the author’s sequel to ‘Deadly Ground’.”-Tamara, Amazon Review

Praise Boonville Redemption: The End Of The Beginning by Judy Belshe-Toernblom

“Unique and wonderful on multiple levels. Told from a dog’s point of view, the tale of love, betrayal, and ultimate redemption is woven in a tapestry of beautiful description, colorful history and memorable characters. Set in the quaint town of Boonville, Anderson Valley, Northern California, the book resurrects Boontling, the valley-specific, and near- lost language of Boonville’s earliest settlers. It’s a great read that will draw you into the quieter, gentler times, captivate you with the lush scenery, prompt you to curse or cheer the townsfolk of 1800s Boonville.”- J. Helen Elza, Amazon
“A touching story about the good and evil that is part of the human experience. The characters inspire one to think about forgiveness and redemption. Very engaging and beautifully written. Loved reading it. So good I wanted the story to continue!”-Garden Girl, Amazon

About Thomas W. StarbuckDeadly Ground by Thomas W. Starbuck and Judy Belshe-Toernblom

Thomas W. Starbuck, an eternal optimist, finds joy in everything around him – from quality time with his active family to quiet meditation and contemplation about the world around him. Never living life in the status quo, Tom had an idea for a story.
This spark of an idea for a screenplay turned into Tom’s first novel, ‘Deadly Ground’, published in April 2018. To give Deadly Groundthe soul it needed, Tom worked with gifted writer, Judy Belshe-Toernblom, on both the screenplay and novel, and they were recognized by the 2018 Capital Fund Screenplay Competition Top 100.
Tom is the father of two daughters and a beloved granddaughter, who one of the Deadly Ground characters was named after. He lives with his wife of 45 years in Des Moines, Iowa, where he graduated from Drake University and worked in financial services for 32 years prior to retirement in 2009.

Buy Deadly Ground by Thomas W. Starbuck and Judy Belshe-Toernblom

My Take:  I really like dystopian stories and this is no exception.  Ab is a scientist for the CDC and is on vacation when he gets word that there is a virus that is killing everyone that contracts it.  He goes back to the CDC to try and make a vaccine for the virus but despite his and others hard work he ends up the only man on earth left alive because of his DNA.  He does still have his dog with him so he does have some form of companionship but he soon wishes he had some human companionship.  This is a short book so it doesn't take long to get through and it is full of the action and adventure.  Highly recommend.  
I received a review copy from Virtual Author Book tours but the opinions are my own.
