Death by Honeymoon (Book #1 in the Caribbean Murder Series)
On the rugged, wild, eastern shore of Barbados, Cindy and Clint are enjoying their dream honeymoon, when paradise quickly turns into hell. Cindy finds her newly beloved taken away from her, drowned in a freak accident in the ocean. The local police are quick to declare it an accident, to insist that he was caught in a sudden riptide. But Cindy, left all alone, is not convinced.
Cindy must return to her and Clint’s now-empty home in New York and face her in-laws, who never wanted Clint to marry her, and who did everything to make her engagement and wedding hell. She must deal with all of these women’s backbiting, gossiping and unspoken accusations, while she tries to get a handle on her own grief and to get clear on what really happened to Clint.
Cindy is mailed an anonymous photo of a woman she had never met, addressed to Clint. As she tries to unravel the mysterious package, as she begins to dig deeper into Clint’s emails and files, she realizes how many secrets Clint had been hiding from his past. She realizes that she didn’t really know the man she loved. And she also realizes that Clint was murdered.
She digs deeper, into the depths of Clint’s massive corporation, DGB oil, and as she starts to unearth information she shouldn’t, she goes too far. Soon her own life is in peril. On the run, she realizes that the only way to get answers, and to save her own life, is to return to where it all began: Barbados. As she heads into the dark underside of the island, into the heart of the local villages, she is shocked to discover what really happened to her husband on their honeymoon.
But by then, it may already be too late.
Death by Honeymoon (Book #1 in the Caribbean Murder Series)
4 star Amazon review: “The Outsider is a beautiful historical novel – by Kentuckian Ann Gabhart – set in the 1800′s in a Shaker community – Pleasant Hill – located near Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Just this alone made me want to read this novel. I live less than 10 miles from the restored Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill and have spent many hours roaming the surrounding hillsides.
In this book, the main character is a young Shaker woman – Gabrielle – who is completely happy living with her Shaker brothers and sisters , living the life of purity and hardwork. That is until an outsider – Dr. Brice Scott – intrudes on their lives and makes his way into her thoughts, and eventually her heart. The Shaker culture and society are so realistic I felt like I was there, like I knew these people. Living so near a restored Shaker village, I have grown up reading and researching the Shaker culture, so this book is very true to the life these religious people lead.
Because the entire story doesn’t happen just on the grounds of the Shaker village, readers are given a realistic view of war during this time and historical medical information, in addition to the treatment of strangers to the Shaker village. There are also other glimpses into this disciplined lifestyle, from the demanding hard work to the fanatical religious servies.
This book was a fascinating read and Mrs. Gabhart’s flowing prose seemed to leap off the pages and jump straight into your heart. Gabrielle’s transformation from the quiet, shy girl into the beautiful young woman is presented with sobering details and fleeting views from the past.
I recommend this book, not only as a work of historical fiction surrounding the lives of the Shakers, but as a delightful work of pure unadultered literature. The Outsider is a worthy find among the multitude of fiction and genre books being released today,” Bobbi.

Out of Time: A Paranormal Romance
5 star Amazon review: “Kindle is opening my horizons and Out of Time is a great example of the wonderful treasures you can find if you get lucky. Despite the ‘paranormal romance’ subtitle, Out of Time is really more of a time travel romance with a paranormal complication as part of the conflict than an actual paranormal romance, since neither of the leads go bump in the night, but it is a really good time travel romance,” melindeeloo
Out of Time: A Paranormal Romance currently FREE on Kindle.
Amazon is having a ‘Big Deal’ Kindle book sale – yeah! Over 900 titles are listed at prices from 99c to $3.99. I just had a look and there are some really great titles in all genres.
Face the Winter Naked
5 star Amazon review: “Face The Winter Naked is a poignant tale of a family’s plight during the Great Depression. Plagued by traumatic memories of the First World War, Daniel abandons his family, leaving his wife LaDaisy to fend for herself and the children. The narrative alternates between Daniel’s life as a hobo seeking work and LaDaisy’s struggle to keep her family alive while fighting off the advances of a man with the power to leave her and her children homeless. Turner’s engaging writing tells their stories with compassion and insight and vividly brings to life the feel of the era. If you liked Water for Elephants, this is one for you,” MonK
