A Great book to Cozy up with Whispers from the Heart by Heather Hummel



I picked up this book from Amazon during one of their special offers.  Amazon has some great offers and I was glad to get this book by Heather Hummel.



Synopsis:                                                                                                  

Madison Ragnar leaves Colorado behind with her old life.   She starts over in Charlottesville Virginia and starts teaching at the local high school.   Olivia becomes one of her closest friends and helps to draw Madison out of her shell. All of the sudden a stranger makes his way into Madison’s life.  This stranger seems to pop up on a regular basis.   Olivia is convinced that this stranger is stalking Madison.  Is he stalking her?  Will Madison be able to set herself free from the past?

My Thoughts:

I really liked this book.  I would definitely say this book is worth checking out.  I loved how the author kept us guessing who this stranger is that seems to pop up in Madison’s life.  We the audience knows that she has a past which is slowly revealed over the entire story.  The only drawback for me is that this book is an eBook and I couldn’t jump ahead very well to find out what would happen next.  She does also have paperback books too.

One focus in the story is about Madison’s first period English class.  I liked how this story line was woven into the story.  I thought it helped move the story along.  We also were introduced to some of her students.   We are shown throughout the story how her students matured and how Madison was able to handle the events that occurred in her class.  I also would have wanted to be one of her students.

Ratings: 4/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
