Continue ReadingJust wanted to do a quick post about WHSmithEbooks.com which is powered by Overdrive, Inc.. It’s a UK site that I browse regularly when I can’t find a digital copy of an ebook in the US ebookstores. And no, I don’t use nor buy Kindle ebooks because I find it akin to throwing my money away. Anyway, what books have I found there? […]

Continue ReadingMarie Treanor’s Undead Men Wear Plaid was a fun read and available from Triskelion Publishing. Ms. Treanor is definitely an author to watch and her backlist I plan to purchase after I do this quick review. Her newest tale is a novella so it was a very quick read for me as I couldn’t put it down.
