The Hatmaker's Heart by Carla Stewart

About the book: 

For Nell Marchwold, bliss is seeing the transformation when someone gets a glimpse in the mirror while wearing one of her creations and feels beautiful. Nell has always strived to create hats that bring out a woman's best qualities. She knows she's fortunate to have landed a job as an apprentice designer at the prominent Oscar Fields Millinery in New York City. Yet when Nell's fresh designs begin to catch on, her boss holds her back from the limelight, claiming the stammer she's had since childhood reflects poorly on her and his salon.

But it seems Nell's gift won't be hidden by Oscar's efforts. Soon an up-and-coming fashion designer is seeking her out as a partner of his 1922 collection. The publicity leads to an opportunity for Nell to make hats in London for a royal wedding. There, she sees her childhood friend, Quentin, and an unexpected spark kindles between them. But thanks to her success, Oscar is determined to keep her. As her heart tugs in two directions, Nell must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for her dream, and what her dream truly is.

My Review:

 

This was a novel that took us from the a millinery shop in New York City in the 1920s to London during the wedding of Prince Albert to Elizabeth and finally to Kentucky.  I really enjoyed this story and getting to know the character or Nell, she is a really strong character.  I liked reading about a woman who in the 20s was more worried about making her own way in life than she was about finding a husband.  This was a well written novel that flowed really well.  I say great job Carla.

Season of Change by Lynette Sowell

About the book: 

An Amish widower finds love in unexpected places.

Amish widower Jacob Miller believes it was a mistake to visit the Amish village of Pinecraft for winter vacation, especially after his daughter is struck by a car. Stranded in Sarasota until his daughter recovers, Jacob grows increasingly wary of events that unfold in his unfamiliar surroundings---including the strange curiosity of Englischer Natalie Bennett.

Natalie never thought her circus career as an aerial silks artist would end with a blown-out knee at the age of 25. She also never knew her late mother had a secret---that she was once Amish.

When Natalie meets the Millers at the Sarasota hospital, she is attracted to their warm hospitality and simple ways---and soon wonders if they can help her find her mother's family. As Jacob and Natalie fall in love, their worlds collide. Will their differences tear them apart? Or will their love be strong enough to blend their clashing cultures?

My Review:

 

This book started out kind of slow for me, but once I got about halfway through, I didn't want to put it down.  I really liked the characters in this book, and I really rooted for Natalie and Jacob to find their way to each other.  This is the first Amish book that I have read that was set in Pinecraft, and it seems like a very nice place, one that I would like to visit.  This was well written book that flowed really well.  I also liked that there was more going on in the book than just Jacob and Natalie's romance.  I look forward to reading more in the Seasons in Pinecraft series.  Great job, Lynette.

Maltipoos Are Murder by Jacqui Lane Review and Guest Post

 

 

 

 

 

Maltipoos are Murder
A Doggie Spa Mystery
Published by (Entangled Ignite)
Cozy Mystery – 320 Pages


Release Date: 5/27
Synopsis
Can a murder investigation keep these opposites from attracting?

Cara Rogers wants a fresh start after a slew of bad luck in Washington DC. Moving to Virginia to help her aunt run La Maison de Chien, a doggie spa, is just the peace of mind she needs. No stress. Just her aunt, the dogs, and wide-open country.

But when she finds Aunt Marian floating in the doggie swimming pool, the rest she so desperately needs flies out the window. The only witness to the death is Rex, an apricot maltipoo, and while he may not be able to talk, he’s communicating the only way he knows how—one paw at a time. And Rex’s clues lead to murder.Can Cara keep the doggie spa afloat, convince Middleburg homicide detective Cole Sampson that Aunt Marian’s death was no accident, and keep Rex from the killer’s clutches before they all end up as dead as dogs?

My Review:

If I could afford it, I would take my dogs to La Maison de Chien, even though there was a murder there.  This seems like a very cool place for dogs.  I really enjoyed this cozy.  It was just the way I like a cozy to be, the killer is someone you don't suspect at all.  I love when a writer does that with a cozy.  I also liked the characters in this story.  I was very well written and was very fast read.  It flowed really well.  Once I started it, I couldn't put it down.  The only bad thing, it wasn't long enough, lol.  Great job!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.

My Favorite Tips from Writing Craft Books

 

Jacqueline Corcoran

 

Since I was a teenager, I’ve loved writing craft books, and I’ve picked up many tips along the way.  What are some of the best tips I’ve learned?  Here is a list of the books and the “best of” from them. 

 

1.      http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Breakout-Novel-Workbook-Donald/dp/158297263X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401672136&sr=8-1&keywords=Writing+the+breakout+novel+workbook

 

Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook by Donald Maass and the other Maass books, Fire in Fiction and Writing Twenty-First Century Fiction.  I like the Maass books because they offer ways of writing that are non-linear.  I don't like books that have you outline each scene in a mechanistic way, because I’m more on the pantsing side of the plotting equation.  The Maass books rely a lot on reversal.  Think of an idea, and then reverse it, have the opposite happen, or have the opposite motivation for a character. I rely regularly on reverse brainstorming for when I’m stuck on “what happens next?”

 

Another tip I use regularly from Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook is to describe the quality of light in a scene.  It’s unique writing advice and, if you think about it, light is present in every moment we’re in, and it can set the mood for your scene.

 

A dialogue tip I’ve gotten from Fire in Fiction is to limit lines of dialogue to five words.  No one wants to read speeches, and this forces you to do the snappy dialogue thing.  Another dialogue tip Maass gives is to only have one character speaking and the other responding through body language alone.  This forces you to rely on non-verbals for communication.  When you revise, you’ll put in more dialogue typically but it helps for me with first draft writing to get down some interesting ways of portraying character exchanges. 

 

2.      http://www.amazon.com/Write-Away-Novelists-Approach-Fiction-ebook/dp/B000GCFWWS/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1401672802&sr=1-1&keywords=elizabeth+george+write+away

 

Elizabeth George’s Write Away.  Elizabeth George is one of my favorite mystery novelists, and I was delighted when she came out with a writing craft book.  The tip I like best in Write Away comes from how Elizabeth George describes her process.  She writes in present tense, summarizing what is going to happen in a scene, and then goes back and writes it as a scene later.  I’ve adopted this technique because I find that figuring out what’s going to happen can really be difficult, and at least this way, you know where you’re going and are not just stumbling blindly around in the dark.

 

3.      http://www.amazon.com/Art-Book-Proposal-Eric-Maisel-ebook/dp/B001ROAKEO/ref=sr_1_52?ie=UTF8&qid=1401662951&sr=8-52&keywords=writing+the+book+proposal

 

The Art of the Book Proposal by Eric Maisel. I write non-fiction as well as fiction and in the The Art of the Book Proposal, he has a great technique where he takes the reader through all the ways you can approach a non-fiction work from the secular to the spiritual, from the formal to the more colloquial.  It really gets you thinking about different angles on how to structure a book, and I have used it for my fiction as well.

 

4.      http://www.amazon.com/Word-Painting-Guide-Writing-Descriptively-ebook/dp/B005G14LQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401674088&sr=8-1&keywords=Word+Painting

 

Word Painting by Rebecca McClanahan. This is a wonderful book about crafting descriptions.  Each chapter ends with a list of exercises that have you try out the material that was discussed.  One of my favorite exercises is switching the lens.  I can start with interior monologue within a character, then have the character focus on something close up, and then switch to looking at something faraway.  

  

5.      http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Dialogue-Tom-Chiarella/dp/1884910327/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401676686&sr=8-1&keywords=writing+dialogue

 

Writing Dialogue by Tom Chiarella. I haven’t picked this one up in awhile but it has given me some invaluable lessons on writing dialogue, such as not having characters ask each other “why?”  I write mysteries mostly and questioning and determining motivation is a stock part of how to figure out who committed the murder.  But I learned that you don’t have to rely on questioning all the time, and that making statements instead can make the dialogue much more interesting, less obvious and linear.  The author also poses an exercise in which each character has his or her own direction and agenda for the dialogue that is not necessarily linked to what the person before has said.  I still do this exercise at times in order to make a section of dialogue more snappy and interesting.

 

What are your favorite tips that you’ve incorporated in your writing that you originally learned from writing craft books?

My Review:

 

I really loved the Irish Wolfhound, Angus, in this story.  I think it would be awesome to walk into a shop and see a dog like him there.  I enjoyed this cozy, it is the first I have read in this series, but I will certainly read more.  It kept my attention throughout, though it wasn't really and edge or your seat who-dunnit.  It was little more laid-back.  I liked the setting of this story and the friendships among the characters.  It was well written and pretty easy to follow.  Great job, Amanda Lee, I am looking forward to more.

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.

MUSING AT THE MUSEUM

THREAD END, the latest book in the Embroidery Mystery Series, involves a museum exhibit of antique textiles known as the Padgett Collection. Included in the exhibit are kilims, tapestries, and wall hangings.

I love going to museums, and the textiles are some of my favorite displays. Years ago, I was touring an antebellum mansion and saw dresses and military uniforms in glass cases. They were so tiny that I thought they must have belonged to children, but the tour guide said people were that much smaller in those days compared to the present day. I enjoyed seeing the First Ladies’ inaugural gowns at the Smithsonian too. Gowns and dresses from bygone eras enchant me.

My children and I went to a living history museum one day and saw how wool was spun into thread. While we were there touring the rooms, my son saw a deck of playing cards on one of the tables. They were spread out so visitors could see the individual cards. My son, who was only about eight at the time, frowned and said, “There aren’t any numbers on these cards.”

The woman giving the tour said, “Why would you need numbers on the cards when you can count?”

There were some beautiful handmade quilts at both this living history museum and at a museum my daughter and I visited in Pennsylvania. The quilts in Pennsylvania were Amish and had some lovely, distinctive designs. There was a quote on a plaque in the Pennsylvania museum that gave the sentiment that the quilter’s finished piece knew a lot of secrets and held a lot of tears.

I enjoy wandering through these rooms—be they in mansions, farmhouses, or storefront buildings—and imagining what life must have been like for the woman who wore that gown…or crafted that quilt…or spun wool at that spinning wheel. There are stories all around us. We simply have to listen.

Out of the Ruins by Karen Barnett

About the book:

Abby's shattered faith in both God and man is challenged when the terrible earthquake hits 1906 San Francisco.

While her sister lies on her deathbed, Abby Fischer prays for a miracle. What Abby doesn't expect, however, is for God's answer to come in the form of the handsome Dr. Robert King, whose experimental treatment is risky at best.

As they work together toward a cure, Abby's feelings for Robert become hopelessly entangled. Separated by the tragedy of the mighty San Francisco earthquake, their relationship suddenly takes a back seat to survival. With fires raging throughout the city, Abby fears for her life as she flees alone through burning streets. Where is God now? Will Robert find Abby, even as the world burns around them? Or has their love fallen with the ruins of the city?

My Review:

 

I really enjoyed this book.  The first part was about Abby's sister Cecelia's fight with leukemia and how Drs. King and Larkspur were using the new technique of X-ray therapy to treat the disease.  It was interesting to read about the beginnings of cancer research.  The second part is about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and it's aftermath.  After reading this, it is hard to fathom how these people endured not knowing if their loved ones were alive or not.  This was a very well written book that kept my attention from beginning to end.  The faith element in this book was awesome.  When Abby learned to rely on GOD, everything go easier.  Great job.

My Review:

 

This was a very profound book that really had a lot going on.  There is a great faith element in this book, it really shows how GOD is always there and how he orders our steps.  It also shows how he is faithful if we follow him and do his will.  The writing was really good also, as the story flowed well.  I also liked all of the characters.  This is a fast read but in no way is it a lite read.
