Black Oil, Red Blood


Attorney Chloe Taylor suspects she's been litigating on an uneven playing field against Big Oil giant PetroPlex, but when her star expert witness turns up dead, she knows. PetroPlex is harboring a shocking secret--one which has the potential to skyrocket gasoline prices, spark an energy market meltdown, and cause destruction on a global scale. Chloe races to stop the villains before  time runs out. (Smashwords Blurb).

I was one of the lucky one's to received a copy of this book from the author, Ms. Diane Castle. It was my first time reading it but I feel it won't be the last. It is one of those books that reads just as good, if not better, upon rereading.

This book has it all, murder, mystery, greed, suspense and a of course romance. Ms. Diane Castle’s well paced plot and engaging characters make this an entertaining novel based on legal corruption in the oil industry. I’m not a fan of legal thrillers but Diane Castle was able to hook me with her fantastic dialogue. The story is based in small town Kettle, Texas, where a big oil corporation reigns and a witty attorney Chloe Taylor fights against this giant in winning cases on wrongful death settlements. The book moves quickly and the suspense it’s addictive. Great novel!! Don't forget to check the book trailer. 
Thank you for stopping by O; )

New Short Stories Cover Reveal

Princess Camryn is a kind, humble girl who is taught to believe she is a horrendous creature.

Being unattractive was not acceptable for this arrogant Royal family known for their exquisite beauty.   The only way to prevent Princess Camryn from becoming a Queen is to make her disappear forever.   With the help of her sister, the Queen finds a warlock to cast a spell on the Princess.   The princess is cursed to a sparkling rivulet form by the despicable warlock. The only way to break the spell was for a kind, handsome prince to fall in love with her in her new form before she turned eighteen and for him to seal and dry the creek’s source.

Read and Write Spirit

During the past twelve weeks I’d seen and marveled at how technology rules not only in social media and publishing but in encouraging young adults to write and read. It’s nice to see tweens and teens using technology not only to socialize but to read and find their ‘writing spirit’ as well. For the most part YA literature is written by adults with a fascination for ghosts, vampires, fairies, high school crushes and anything to do with the tribulations we go through our teenage years. Now in days we see more talented young writers express their feelings by putting it in a novel. Fresh from the tribulations of teenage-hood. It’s refreshing to see this trend and I hope this continues to grow because it gives us “adult writers” a window to the past and inspiration for the future. One of these young writers’ is Saga Berg; she is the author of Nordic Fairies. From the moment I read the blurb I became intrigued with the story of Svala and Viggo. The author was kind enough to send me a copy
