REAL BAD THINGS by Kelly J. Ford - Review & Giveaway

 


In Kelly J. Ford's new novel, REAL BAD THINGS (Thomas&Mercer), it's been twenty-five years, since Jane Mooney admitted to killing her abusive step-father. But there was no body, so cops let her go and she moved to Boston to start a new life. Now there's been a flood, a body has surfaced from the river and authorities suspect it might be her dead step-father. Jane returns to her small Arkansas town to turn herself in, prepared to serve jail time for killing the man who made her life a living hell.

READ BAD THINGS is a slow burn of twists and turns leading to a surprising ending. You may suspect you know what's going to happen, but don't count on it. FORD has created complex plot lines and characters that you won't soon forget.

THE LIONESS of LEIDEN by Robert Loewen - Review and Q&A

Image
There are no shortages of true accounts and novels based on WWII. The Lioness of Leiden (GreenleafBookGroupPress) is a historical novel written from first-hand memories of author, Robert Loewen's mother-in-law, Hetty, along with her roommate, Mimi and 17-year-old, Maria.

They became Dutch resistance fighters fighting the Nazi Gestapo in the Netherlands, taking on more and more dangerous assignments.
