NEW #AUTHORS, NEW BOOKS TO READ!

This week I have read two books that are well out of the stream of ordinary. These #authors have both approached their subjects with a great deal of thought and craft.

Elizabeth Garcia’s The Reluctant Cowboy addressed some tough issues–such as violence, rape, gender identity, and love– but not with an in-your-face approach. She wove a story that pulled me in, made me feel a connection to young Jed, and consequently, to the pain and confusion he faced. I won’t say how it ended, but I will say I recommend reading it.

Chantal Bellehumeur’s, Just Another Common Killer. Not being a Ripperologist, nor really a fan of horror, still the book intrigued me and I didn’t put it down until I had finished it.  It was written in a reportorial style that added to the feeling of reality. Quite interesting, it kept me thinking even after I turned the last page.
