2 nd Chance is the second novel in the Women’s Murder Club series by James Patterson with Andrew Gross.   I liked the first one and wanted to see what I thought about the second one in the series.   Does it make the series worth continuing? Synopsis: Lindsay is enjoying some time off when she gets the call about a shooting in a San Francisco neighborhood.   She has received a promotion since we last met her in First to Die .   The clues eventually lead to the main suspect of Chimera.    Who is he?   Will Lindsay be able to find him in time?   Call in the Women’s Murder Club of Jill, Cindy, and Claire.   Can they help Lindsay piece together case before more bodies show up? My Thoughts:   Was it worth it?   Yes, I enjoyed the story.   I happened to listen to it.     The story was narrated by actors Melissa Leo and Jeremy Piven.   I haven’t been a fan of their work on the screen, but thoroughl...

Next week I start my 2015 season of attending ComicCons and Fan Expos to promote my books so I thought it would be a good idea to write something about my experiences with those as the topic for this guest post. First of all, ComicCons and Fan Expos are an amazing place to make some personal contact with a lot of different people who don't yet realise that they are fans of your books.

This "instant feedback" is also incredibly valuable for me in terms of the books I write in the future as well. Generally speaking these events will offer two types of booths or tables: the larger (and more expensiv...

Earlier I shared the book Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge, and now I am sharing about the eight session study guide.   This book is the companion and study guide to the material mentioned previously.   Now it is time to apply what you have learned! Synopsis: There are eight sessions that correspond to the chapters in the book.   There are instructions at the beginning of the sessions to let you know which chapters in the book to follow.   She asks questions included with scripture.   Ultimately asking how this impacts you?   Your relationship with God?   How do we move forward? My Thoughts:   I love bible studies that create great stimulating challenge for us readers.     I feel sometimes that I was spoiled by the homework from Beth Moore.   Stasi has less homework so if you aren’t a fan of lots of work then this study guide is for you!    I think the study has a great structure and explores the to...
