New Blurbs by the WW Ladies
November 21, 2007
Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and for most it's turkey, family, sweet potatoes, traveling, pies and looking at the sale papers for Black Friday. Yes, it's almost become a national holiday. That day after Thanksgiving. when the retailers finally get into the black for the first time this year by opening their doors at 4 a.m. with unbelievable bargains and only 5 of each item in their stores. For those of you who choose to indulge in the adventure...be safe out there.
Now the WW ladies and friends will give their picks of the week.
Coyote Dreams by C E Murphy
Reviewed by Joyce
Joanne Walker was content as a mechanic, but is now a reluctant police officer. She’s also recently discovered her heritage as a Shaman. In this third book of The Walker Papers, Joanne must figure out why her friends and co-workers are falling into unexplained comas. The answer can only be mystical, and to divine the cause to save them, she works to reconcile the obligations of her new-found shamanic powers and her desire for an ordinary life. I was glad I started the series with the first book, Urban Shaman, because as many series books do, things get more complicated as they go along. I like Joanne, I like her friends, and I like how she faces the difficulties in her life. The next one won’t be out soon enough.
Beyond Fearless by Rebecca York

Psychometry - you ask? It's a technique of mental measurement. Dull-you say? Not on your life.
Customers in a nightclub where our heroine, Anna, is employed as a psychic, are asked to place an item on a tray for her perusal. She is able to discern several facts about each of them and even she does not understand why or how she came by this ability.
The plot is amazing in its intricacies of hate, love, fear and intrigue, and murder. Imagine being able to communicate without speaking, heal without touching or destroy in absentia.
And another question you want to ask? Is it sexy? Oh my, YES! A play by play description of all the above makes it an unusually exciting story.
Insufficient Mating Material by Rowena Cherry
Reviewed by Joyce
Insufficient Mating Material follows the lives of the galactic ruling family introduced in Mating Net and Forced Mate. Rowena Cherry has carefully crafted an intricate dynasty that thrives on political intrigue and personal danger. Having done extensive research with Survivorman Les Stroud, her believable descriptions of surviving on a stranded island are mixed with humor and sexy interludes. Rowena Cherry is brilliant, and leaves me in the dust with chess references, bridge game plays, and Tarot readings, all with which I am unfamiliar. Insufficient Mating Material is not a stand-alone story, requiring the history in the previous books to understand it, but the complex family tree provided aids in bringing it all together.
The Undead Next Door by Kerrelyn Sparks
Reviewed by Samantha
Heather Westfield, a mother and teacher, living in Schnitzelberg, Texas, has always dreamed of being a cloghes designer. She gets her chance when Jean-Luc Echarpe, a famous fashion designer with many dark secrets, opens a store in town. Danger enters when Heather becomes involved with Jean-Luc and is marked for an assassination. With his old-fashioned values, Jean-Luc insists on Protecting the woman of his desire in this captivating tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. A definite read.
Bottom Line: On Friday, after shopping of course, kick back, grab a drink, have a leftover turkey sandwich and relax with a great book. It is official Christmas season and life's bound to get even crazier until 2008. Happy Thanksgiving!!
