Entitled: Book Review: Wind Dancer by Jamie Carie
Wind Dancer by Jamie Carie
Genre: Inspirational/Christian historical romance
Title: Wind Dancer
Author: Jamie Carie
ISBN: 080544534X
Publisher: B&H Books
Blurb: A love story beyond imagination …
Isabelle Renoir is different. A free spirit who dances alone in the moonlight as a praise offering to God, she’s more at home in the woods with her long rifle and knife than cooking and cleaning like the other women in her wilderness town.
But as the shadow of the American Revolution stretches to the frontier, Isabelle finds herself on a journey that may overwhelm even her fearlessness and strength. And when the raven-haired beauty meets mysterious Samuel Holt, sparks fly. It takes an unthinkable attack and capture at the hands of Indians to push them together in a fight against deep spiritual forces …
Forces no physical weapon could ever conquer.
Review: This is a gripping, fast-paced Inspirational/Christian historical romance. It has lots of adventure. The characters are well-developed and realistic. Isabelle is a strong, fierce woman that knows who she is and doesn't need a man to define who she is. When Samuel and Isabelle get captured by the Indians, I felt torn with how the Indians were portrayed, but then I reminded myself that the book was historically correct in their portrayal instead of today's politically correct one. Jamie Carie definitely did her research about the American Revolution and life during that time. I liked the Indiana connection, since part of it was located in Vincennes. I think readers that love strong historical stories will love this, readers that love a great romance will find a gripping love story, and the readers that love an Inspirational novel that provides a great story with a great message will also find plenty to enjoy and inspire them in their faith. I highly recommend this novel.

I know it has been a while since I post a blog about the editing releases. I have been updating the listing on the sidebar.

This all woman cast will keep you guessing about who ends up with whom, who will survive, and more. If you love, lesbian scifi, you'll want to sink your teeth into this meaty novel.

Entitled: Book Review: Land of Entrapment
Book Review: This is a fantastic mystery. Even though it is a first novel, it reads like a seasoned pro wrote it as her 20th book. The characters are well developed. The read like real people. You won't want to leave them at the end. They'll become friends. The plot is fast-paced and gripping. The topic of white supremist groups is a tough one, but the author handles it with skill. This mystery was chosen as the Top 5 Mysteries of 2008 by the Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Awards and won the 2009 Golden Crown Literary Society (Goldie) in the category of "Best Lesbian Mystery." Even though this a lesbian mystery, I believe all mystery readers will find this book to have a story for them to sink their teeth into. I hesitate to call this a lesbian mystery because I recommend it to ALL mystery readers, mystery lovers. There are three books in this series. Review by Ellen Tevault

Entitled: Editing Releases for September 2010
I edited two books for Eternal Press that were released September 7th.
Inheritance by P.M. May is a paranormal romance. A love triangle with a twist - a ghost. Jennifer travels from the U.S. to England to live in her family's haunted estate. This isn't what she expected when she wanted to escape the aftermath of her failed marriage.
Malevolent Dead by Heather Kuehl is the second in the werewolf and vampire novel series. This follows werewolf Sarah Vargas from Fade to Black to her next adventure. If you love werewolves and vampires, you'll love this series. Sometimes they are enemies and other times they are allies. On top of all the action, you'll get a little erotica too.
Let me know what you think.
