Jencey's Writer's Corner

Today I am going to present another new to me author, for the first time on Writer’s Corner. Amy E. Reichert will be visiting with her book The Simplicity of Cider .

When an offer is made to sell the orchar...

Thank you to Harper Collins for a copy of The Alice Network . I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I received no financial compensation for this review.

A Brush with the Beast , by Richard Sones, is an action-packed Christian Fiction novel. We are excited to  share an excerpt from this  book.  “Good morning, Mr. D.” chirped Gail. She was always happy, unnaturally happy. She was happy when no one was supposed to be happy. Nick didn’t like that about her, but she was the best secretary he had ever had. He groaned in response to her cheerful greeting and disappeared into his office. “It can’t be all that bad,” he heard her holler after the door had been shut. Only fifteen quiet minutes had elapsed when a light tapping emanated from the door. “Sir, would you like a cup of coffee?” “She must be on something,” Nick thought when he heard her. “Sure, Gail, come in.” The door opened and the cheerful secretary came in using both hands to carry saucer and cup. She wore an off white dress that hung past her knees. Her silver hair was colored dishwater blond, but not so anyone could tell. It reached her shoulders in gentl...
