After a lifetime of being protected and sheltered by her parents, Kate is thrown into a state of turmoil after their sudden death. With nowhere else to turn, she finds herself living with her fiancé, a conniving businessman who is well on his way to becoming a corrupt super-lawyer. At the same time, Kate’s father’s law firm houses more secrets than a politician’s hard drive. Later, she receives a shocking surprise when a long-lost half-brother enters her life. Can Kate rise to these challenges, discover the truth and re-emerge as a stronger, smarter version of herself?

By News Articles1
After her parents killed in a car wreck, Kate then finds out that the man she is going to marry is cheating on her. She decides to make a new start and goes to live at her grandmother’s Florida plantation home which needs a lot of work. She’s rich so that’s easy enough. The problem is that her inheritance comes with a secret that puts her at great risk. When we meet AJ, his reasons for helping Kate are shrouded in mystery. Murder, stalking, and international intrigue give the story plenty of twists and turns. A dash of romance spices things up for us. Great story, characters and settings. A very good read.

Meet author L.A. Remenicky – “Saving Cassie” (Fairfield Corners Book 1) – #Romance, #Mystery&Suspense, #Suspense, #Ghosts, #Paranormal, #Demons&Devils

Lori

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

It’s been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve been an avid bookworm since I first learned to read.

How long does it take you to write a book?

Usually, about 3 – 4 months.

What is your work schedule like when you’re writing?

It varies due to my “day job” – I try to write something every day – doesn’t always happen.

What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?

I don’t know if it’s interesting or not but I have to have music playing in the background. I can’t write in total silence.
How do your books get published?

I am with a small, indie publisher – Lavish Publishing.

Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?

Most of my story ideas come from music lyrics, but I also get ideas from television shows, random comments, pretty much anything that makes me ask “What if?” Saving Cassie came from a dream and the lyrics to (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams.
When did you write your first book and how old were you?

I wrote Saving Cassie during NaNoWriMo in 2013 (I was 49). A friend mentioned this really cool contest where you try to write 50,000 words in a month. I thought, why not? So I signed up and wrote 50,000 words that November, it was a mess but that mess turned into Saving Cassie. After a lot of editing, I published it 2014.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?

Read, watch television, travel.
What does your family think of your writing?

I’m lucky in that they are very supportive. My mom reads all my books.
What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

That I could write something that others enjoy reading.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

I currently have 7 published along with a short story and a novelette in anthologies. My favorite is Saving Cassie, only because it was the first.

Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?

Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Finding a critique partner/alpha reader who will be honest (and not just say they love it) is a huge help.
Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?

Not much except from my very small core group of readers.
Do you like to create books for adults?

Yes, I love writing romance.
What do you think makes a good story?

That’s a hard question. A good story will draw you in while leaving just enough to the imagination – difficult to explain.

As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

I wanted to be an author or a famous singer. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket so it’s a good thing I can write, lol.

Any books in the works?

Yes, I am currently finishing up the 2nd in the Love On The Double Duet – Beyond Duty (Loving Jessie’s Girl is book 1). I am also working on a story for an anthology and a couple of other ideas that are still in the planning stages.

What are your plans for the future?

Writing, of course. Finish the Fairfield Corners series (2 more books planned), start a Rockstar series.

After ten years in the big city, Cassie Holt is back in Fairfield Corners. She may look like the same girl who left home a decade before, but she’s hiding a dark truth from everyone. When her demon-possessed ex-fiance threatens her life, her best friend–who just happens to be the local sheriff—offers his help.

Deputy Logan Miller has been burned by love. He’s not looking to get involved, but duty calls when the sheriff tasks him with Cassie’s protection. Thrown into close quarters with the gorgeous bookseller, sparks fly. Logan is drawn to Cassie, but it’s hard to trust someone so guarded.

With Cassie’s life and the future of the world at stake, can Logan protect Cassie–and his heart?

Spooky and impossible to put down

I have to start by saying that this book was a pleasure to read. It is also the first that I have read by L.A. Remenicky. That being said, I found her characters to be real, believable, down to earth and charming.
Cassie is a woman who has never felt “right” in her own skin, and things start to happen that make absolutely no sense at all. First, her parents are killed leaving her orphaned and alone with her grandmother. Then her grandmother dies in a mysterious way leaving Cassie the sole heir of the house she grew up in and her grandmother’s bookstore. All places that mean a great deal to her, but somehow host something out to get her.
Logan is a new cop who just happens to meet Cassie in typical cop fashion…she gets a speeding ticket. He has no knowledge that his boss, the sheriff, is also Cassie’s best friend and the closest thing to a relative she has now. Logan is immediately drawn to Cassie, and it slowly reveals itself in a haunting and highly anticipated way. Logan was sent to save Cassie from the demon entity that inhabited a “friend” from her parents’ past. Spooky, right? I thought so too. How do you fight a demon? How do you hold onto the love of your life and the warmth of the past? What happens when that demon is dead set on destroying not only you but everything you thought you could ever want? Cassie knows.

Well done!

This is a neat little psychological thriller. I found myself visualizing the scenes as they unfolded, and that doesn’t happen too often for me. I will read more books by Mr. Bussa.

“The Fingerprint Murders” (Carson Reno Mystery Series Book 10) by Gerald W. Darnell – #Mystery, #Thriller, #Suspense, #Hard-Boiled, #Crime

Ger fingerpring murders

Line Blurb

All Carson Reno Mystery Series Books are standalone novels. It is not necessary to read them in any particular order.
Someone is brutally murdering people in Memphis, and for unknown reasons, the killer wants Carson involved.
They’re not just killing people, they’re removing the victim’s fingers and leaving strange clues everywhere. Carson becomes involved when the killer sends him severed thumbs – each wrapped in bloodstained paper containing Bible scripture.
Clues are everywhere, but none of them make any sense and aren’t connected – yet.
Old names surface and the mystery gets stranger and darker as Carson tries to solve the ‘Fingerprint Murders’.

Fantastic book by Gerald W. Darnell!

I think of all the books I have read by Darnell this one was the best!
The twists and turns in it kept me on the edge of my seat. Carson Reno had a real mystery when the dismembered thumbs did not match the bodies. Moreover, the end was remarkable.
I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Reno is at it again!

Of course, I am a big Carson Reno fan. Just when you think you figure it out, something happens … full of intrigue and captivating characters, I loved this story. Reno is one of those unforgettable characters, and Darnell brings the pages to life, with his unique and formidable writing style. Reno grabs your attention and leaves you hanging on every single word. As always, I look forward to whatever comes next from Darnell’s pen and whatever hunt Reno will be on next.

A fantastic start to a series.
By Anna Edward

This was my first paranormal romance, and I’m a total convert. I love the dramatic storyline, the hot sexy and the fantastic characters.

Vanessa is a heroine to be proud of. She is a very strong woman who risks so much just to protect what is hers. Travis is very much an alpha male, and I could feel the hotness oozing off the page. I would have like a bit more of his backstory to be included in the novel though, just to make him that little bit more rounded as a character.

The supporting characters and the villain are well defined. The villain definitely deserved his ending.

The book is well written, and overall I would highly recommend.

What a Long, Strange Ride It’s Been
By Backstage Blogs

The final book of a seven book series, and what a long, strange ride it has been. I really had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up the first book in the series in January, but this has been a very intense, interesting, twisting and turning, jaw-dropping journey from book one through the last page of book seven.

The title is Avenged, it is the end of the series – you simply know that s&%t is going to get real for this final installment, and it certainly does. Tori and her ragtag group are going to settle things once and for all, and it is quite an all-out melee.

The FBI – we finally get to see exactly who is playing on what team, and under whose direction. This has been the most compelling underlying storyline for me probably from book one. Seeing how this one falls into line is what I have been waiting for.

Tori’s Men – who is going to make it out alive becomes the most important question, at the crux of things more than who means the most to her. Everyone knows the risks..will it be worth it in the end?

The **bleeping** Organization – finally have all of the missing pieces come together on this mysterious bunch? Can Tori possibly take on something this big?

Tori’s big surprise – I had figured it out in the last book, but how long is it going to take her to see, and what will it mean for this story? How much will this interfere with what she needs to get done?

As always, well crafted, action-packed, well written and edited, it is all perhaps most important in this final book that it all comes together, flows, and brings closure. Ms. Jacobey gets excellent marks on all of the above.

Again, for mature audiences only. For explicit violence and sexual situations. I did receive a complimentary copy of this book for review.
