“Reviewed By Alma Boucher for Readers’ Favorite
Time Did Not Forget by Kim Carter is the fourth book in the Clara and Iris Mystery series. Widows Clara Samples and Iris Hadley, both in their mid-seventies, are private investigators based in Atlanta, Georgia. Their latest case takes them to Biloxi, where they agree to help their friend Charnell find her long-lost nephew, Cobie, who was kidnapped years earlier from a daycare playground. Despite the ransom being paid, Cobie was never returned, and the kidnapper vanished without a trace.
The case had gone cold, and no investigator wanted to reopen it. When Charnell takes an ancestry test that reveals she has a living nephew, she becomes convinced that Cobie is still alive. Not long after, Clara and Iris receive a mysterious newspaper clipping about a house fire in Fairburn, Ohio, from fourteen years ago, in which a local couple perished. Could this long-forgotten tragedy be tied to Cobie’s kidnapping all those years ago?
Time Did Not Forget by Kim Carter is a complex and captivating mystery that kept me hooked from beginning to end. The story moves at a rapid pace and is packed with action and unexpected twists that make it impossible to put down. The engaging writing style drew me deep into the investigation, leaving me constantly wondering what would happen next. Several plotlines seamlessly merged without detracting from each other.
The characters were realistic and relatable. I enjoyed Clara and Iris’s banter during their investigation, but Iris was my favorite character. Iris was frank and expressed her opinions, regardless of their appropriateness. The book was excellently written, and the events were so descriptive that I could not turn the pages fast enough.”

“The Board Extraction” is a work of fiction that falls within the political suspense drama, slice-of-life, and sociocultural writing subgenres. It is the third installment of the ongoing saga titled “The Other Shoes of Larry Martin,” which chronicles his life and personal journey.
The work is best suited for adult readers with its complex themes, and was penned by author Pavane Ravel. The author continues to deliver a thought-provoking and immersive narrative centered around the formerly indoctrinated Larry and his new liberal ethos in life. As the narrative unfolds, Larry Martin’s character evolves, and he grapples with the consequences of his decisions. The story goes beyond mere entertainment as it delves into self-examination, personal growth, and the weight of one’s choices. Author Pavane Ravel’s writing is adroitly beautiful, blending political and social issues with drama and romance together seamlessly into Larry’s ongoing life journey to find himself.
I was thrilled to be back in his world and see what happened next in his interpersonal relationships. This multifaceted installment offers new elements of romance, humor, and drama that play out in perfect balance against the more topical issues of political and business power plays. Larry’s unexpected detour into modeling was one of my favorite sections, as it’s always so relatable to see him be such a fish out of water.
What struck me most was how much this series resonates with readers from diverse backgrounds and beliefs because it’s Larry’s open-mindedness and sense of discovery that bonds us to his cause. It’s a reminder that our decisions, big or small, carry consequences and shape our paths, and the information we build those decisions on is never foolproof.
Overall, readers seeking a resonant series that encourages introspection and contemplation about our own choices need look no further than The Other Shoes of Larry Martin for everything they need. I’d particularly recommend The Board Extraction for a unique blend of entertainment and reflection, which offers valuable insights into life’s complexities.“

Follow Reg, a man torn between his test of will in his quest for justice and the welfare of all he holds dear. Will he find the cattle rustlers or lose everything he holds dear? Will fate give him justice or despair?
Justice and Destiny Collide in B.S. Daniels’ Gritty Debut Western “Trail of Fate”
B.S. Daniels’ “Trail of Fate” kicks off The Arduous Quest series, reviving the classic Western genre for a new generation of readers.
“This author should have been born 150 years ago. Daniels reflects the cowboy lifestyle in his choice of words and interaction.”— Amazon Reviewer
FORT LARAMIE, WY, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the Western genre experiences a resurgence in popularity, author B.S. Daniels steps into the literary arena with “Trail of Fate,” the first installment of his new series, The Arduous Quest. This novel blends classic Western action with philosophical underpinnings, offering readers a fresh take on a beloved genre.
Set against the rugged backdrop of the 1890s American West, “Trail of Fate” follows Reg, a man driven by an unyielding sense of honor on a quest for justice. As Reg navigates the unpredictable frontier in search of cattle rustlers, he faces a pivotal choice between his pursuit of justice and the safety of all he holds dear
Reflecting on his transition from bull riding to writing, B.S. Daniels states: “My experiences in the rodeo circuit taught me about grit, determination, and the unpredictable nature of life – themes that are central to ‘Trail of Fate.’ Through this series, I aim to capture the spirit of the Old West and share it with a new generation of readers.”
“Trail of Fate” stands out for its first-person narrative, providing an intimate view of the protagonist’s journey. The novel’s prologue sets a philosophical tone with poetic musings on fate, adding depth to the adventure that follows.
Early readers and critics have praised “Trail of Fate” for its authentic portrayal of the Old West and its compelling storyline:
• “… a riveting homage to the gritty and action-packed world of classic Westerns. From the very first page, Daniels immerses readers in the untamed landscapes and rugged lives that defined the Wild West, delivering a story that is as thrilling as it is evocative. The timing is perfect as Westerns are making a comeback after a long lull. B. S. Daniels has crafted a story that is both a tribute to and a reinvention of Classic Westerns, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting series. Whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or a newcomer to Westerns the Trail of Fate is a journey worth taking. – Carol Thompson for Reader’s Favorite
• “A gritty Western about an old-fashioned hero and his horse. You can tell by the author’s descriptions and prose that he is steeped in Western lore and the West itself… Besides entertaining sentences, his characters are well developed and his descriptions detailed.” – Sandra Cox, Amazon Reviewer
• “A great Western in the 1800s of Colorado ranching country. Daniels takes you on an imaginative, captivating ride that draws you in, with lots of colorful characters, and keeps you yearning for what’s coming next.” – William Kruse, Amazon Reviewer
Now available through major retailers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble, “TRAIL OF FATE” (ASIN B0DFZ4J9RS) is positioned to appeal to new and long-time Western enthusiasts of the Wild West genre.

Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story
by Elizabeth Upton Non-Fiction – Memoir 241 Pages Reviewed on 09/06/2024 By K.C. Sanders
“Before I left high school, most of my teachers were nuns, not to mention a source of fascination. What did they wear to bed at night? Are they bald under those black veils? What do they confess if they don’t even sin?
As a young teacher, I worked with and learned a lot more about nuns, but only after I read Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story by Elizabeth Upton, could I conclusively say that nuns are, indeed, very human!
Upton’s journey from becoming a nun to leaving took 21 years, beginning when she was only 16. In an utterly honest voice that shares every emotion, and the more hidden, natural urges a young teen feels, Upton opens up to readers in her memoir. We feel every battle with herself and her superiors that resulted from her choice to dedicate her life to God.
Becoming a nun is far from easy. Personal interaction between nuns is discouraged. Nuns in superior positions take their religious fervor and powerful roles to extremes, and the degree of dedication required would try anyone’s strength and patience.
Then, of course, there’s the difficulty younger nuns experience denying their attraction to the opposite sex, as celibacy is not just demanded of Catholic priests! I loved the honesty with which Elizabeth Upton shares such emotional and physical details. That takes courage. Readers need to bring an open mind to Secrets of a Nun.
Those who see normal urges as sinful might be offended by Upton’s frankness. The rest of us will applaud Upton’s decision to write a tell-all about her life as a Catholic nun. It is a memoir I recommend to any young woman contemplating donning the veil.
“Read this memoir long before you take those final vows.“ ~K. C. Sanders Book Reviewer~

Secrets of a Nun is a revealing, uncompromisingly honest, and deeply moving look into one woman’s soul.
At fifteen, Elizabeth, a talented athlete, gives up her dreams of competing in the Olympics to become a nun. Separating from her mother and twin sister, she leaves her friends and familiar world behind to pursue a saintly life. But she finds herself unprepared for what lies ahead. While her cloistered life commences as a profound spiritual and emotional journey, personal disenchantment takes root and slowly grows over the next twenty years.
Elizabeth recoils against the restrictive atmosphere of convent life. She struggles with conflicting emotions until a forbidden love affair forces her to come to grips with her needs as a woman. Over the course of striving to find her authentic self, she ultimately feels compelled to leave the Order.
A true story inspires this fascinating account of courage and passion. It will shock you and bring a smile to your face as you follow the course of a young woman’s obsession to become a spiritual seeker—an obsession that, over time, transforms into a deeply felt desire for personal liberation.
“A fascinating book into oppression and control and finding a way out without losing convictions and passion for Christ’s Love. I learned a lot.”
