I am so proud to announce that the third novel in my Neighbors Series, Long Lost Neighbors, has finally been released! And it became available on my birthday no less! What a great way to celebrate!

 

Long Lost Neighbors was so fun to write. There is actually quite a bit of truth about my life written within these pages so it was fun to relive some memories, as well as explore possibilities.

The Girl In Between

Posted on by Frances

Just this past week I finished reading a novel by Laekan Zea Kemp called “The Girl In Between”. My blog has featured many book spotlights, but I have yet to do a book review. “The Girl In Between” deserves one!

 

First things first, here is some basic information about “The Girl In Between”:

  • It has 727 reviews with an average 4.1 star rating (as of 12/13/2016)!
  • It is the first in a series of four novels
  • The kindle edition is 289 pages
  • As of 12/13/2016 it is #7 in Science Fiction & Fantasy – Paranormal & Urban
  • I don’t think it states this somewhere, but I would say this novel is geared towards young adult. However, I’m an adult and still enjoyed it so don’t let that scare you away
  • The best part? The kindle edition is FREE!

 

I came across “The Girl In Between” when Continue reading “The Girl In Between” →

About the Book

amf “Stay back!” Joshua ordered. He kept his eyes on the scene below while waving his arm in Ruth’s direction. “Get deeper into the woods and stay down low to the ground.”

Joshua hazarded a glance behind him. He could no longer see Ruth and breathed a sigh of relief. In one swift move, he grabbed his rifle and lay flat to the ground. Extending the rifle, he aimed at the shorter man whose gun was pointed at Bradshaw. Continue reading “Birthday Bash!” →
