Persevere along an uphill climb, on a slow downhill descent, through vast valleys, through dry, hot, windy deserts, the splashy ocean surf and grassy meadows. Defy long shot odds when dreaming! Dream big! This mantra has worked for me. It all began with horses. Horses first galloped into my life when I watched western movies with my Dad. Mom noticed my eyes sparkle when I talked about horses.
Two events led to the creation of Plenty, my second Suspense novel. First – the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. Feminist fury lit the fire. As Rich Lowry of the New York Post wrote: “…“Fifty Shades” is a version of the age-old Boy Meets Girl story, except the Boy is a dangerous creep…” https://nypost.com/2015/02/16/50-shades-an-anti-feminist-juggernaut/ I had to call out this trilogy for what it represents: sugarcoated sadism. A young virgin for a rich sadist love story with a Happily Ever Ending. Yuck! Really?
Not a Page Turner
“I quit reading after the first few pages. Yes, the female main character is strong and feisty. But a skilled writer could find a way to show that, other than having her scoop vomit off the floor with her bare hand and smear it on a man.
First, “…I really didn’t care for the characters, they are very stereotypical–either very very evil…” I disagree. Gordon, Grant’s powerful father, supports environmental causes and advocates for the town park. He has compassion for terminally-ill children…
DLT – Dark Interesting Book
“I had to think about this one for a few days before writing this review. The blurb references Fifty Shades but that just doesn’t resonate for me. This is dark, very dark and more of a thriller than an erotic novel for me. The characters are not as fully fleshed as I would have liked and seemed almost one dimensionally good or evil. I did like that Camille showed good personal growth becoming the woman she is meant to be and that she helps clean up the town. I do want to go back and read the first in the series. Due to dark events that are possible triggers I recommend this only for the mature reader of darker novels.
