Readers’ Favorite announces the review of the Fiction – Drama book “The Other Shoes of Larry Martin: Book One: Revelation of Lies (Larry Martin Novel Series)” by Pavane Ravel, currently available at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FXMFGHR9.

Review Rating: 5 Stars – Congratulations on your 5-star review!


Reviewed by Asher Syed for Readers’ Favorite

The Other Shoes of Larry Martin by Pavane Ravel follows Larry Martin, a young reporter in Atlanta, whose employment and housing collapse in quick succession after his dismissal from his job with an extremist website. After eviction, he moves through the city and nearby towns, living in his car and makeshift camps while trying to continue writing. His days are governed by immediate survival needs as he navigates constant exposure to authority and worsening physical conditions.

An unexpected professional connection offers him a route back into journalism and leads him to document the conditions he once viewed indirectly. As his work begins to circulate, Larry remains focused on staying alive while reconciling himself to his complete change of circumstances with the consequences of earlier, deeply held beliefs and decisions.

The Other Shoes of Larry Martin by Pavane Ravel is a searing literary novel that leans heavily into a moral reckoning in contemporary America. Ravel takes time in unfolding Larry’s journey, allowing us to follow closely in moments that unsettle, such as the apartment confrontation that exposes harm and accountability, and a forest camp where a routine rebuilds a semblance of dignity, however temporary. Larry is a flawed protagonist that you cannot help but root for. His measured redemption appears through small acts: giving food, attempting to make restitution for thefts, and choosing repair over denial.

I think where Ravel shines brightest is in the settings and landscapes that immerse us in tactile, textured spaces. I actually quite liked being with Larry in his hand-built shelter, where the tiniest luxuries of washed clothes and cooked meals define a completely new view of survival. Overall, this well-written story is grounded in an America that few experience and is absolutely worth the time commitment. Very highly recommended.


ABOUT PAVANE RAVEL

This book was an important story to tell for Pavane, as Larry Martin is such a complex and fascinating character. Pavane enjoys humor and loves engaging and connecting with readers.

The Wait Is Over For The Next ‘Clara and Iris’ Mystery In The Trilogy. Kim Carter Has Just Released “Time Did Not Forget”. . .

Readers’ Favorite announces the review of the Fiction – Mystery – Murder book “Time Did Not Forget” by Kim Carter, currently available ahttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FX3DF82C.

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.”

All the time I wondered who Secora James was, and how we could
possibly find, let alone help, a mythical creature.

Wakinyan Tanka, the Great Thunderbird contacted me in a dream while I was in the hospital healing from a lightning strike. She was perched atop a misty cliff and stood at least eight feet tall as far as I could tell. Her stare had a primitive fierceness that made me feel paralyzed, unable to move or speak. She was aware, and telepathically said, “All life is tenacious. You have survived what most men would not. My kind has survived what many of the large ones from a cooler time did not. She marked the statement by raising a Mohawk of crimson-tipped feathers that ran from the crest of her head partway down the back of her gray-black neck.
I am Wakinyan Tanka.
Long ago, humans relied on the grace of my people to lift their prayers by the wind of our wings to the Great Mystery of which we are all a part of. To those who sought our aid all over the earth, we were the embodiment of effortless grace, the Winged Power who protected and destroyed.”


If you’re a reader or a movie enthusiast who loves the “Indiana Jones” saga and enjoys mystery, action, and adventure, you’ll love reading all seven books in the thrilling and gripping “Rising Wind” novel series.

OFFICIAL MEDIA PRESS RELEASE ~ TRAIL OF FATE

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


Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story

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.

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.

~Awarded An Exceptional Editorial Book Review Given by Reader’s Favorite August 2024.~

Reviewed by Carol Thompson for Readers’ Favorite

Trail of Fate, the first book in B. S. Daniels’ The Arduous Quest Western Adventure series, is 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 protagonist, Reg, is a man whose unyielding sense of honor drives him on a quest for justice.

His journey is fraught with danger, and the narrative expertly balances moments of intense action with deeper, more reflective passages, adding a layer of depth to the story. Daniels crafts a tale where every encounter and decision could lead to redemption or ruin, capturing the unpredictable nature of life on the frontier.

The prologue sets the tone with poetic musings on fate, questioning the forces that shape our paths. This philosophical undercurrent, which runs throughout the novel, adds depth and a thought-provoking element to the otherwise straightforward adventure.

Trail of Fate is written in the first person POV, which gives readers a more intimate view of the protagonist.
B. S. Daniels cleverly weaves a tale with many interesting characters in a way that’s easy to follow who’s who. The timing for this novel is perfect as Westerns are making a big comeback after a long lull.
B. S. Daniels has crafted a story that is both a tribute to and a reinvention of Westerns while setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting series.

Whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or a newcomer to ‘Classic Western’ stories
of action and adventure, the Trail of Fate is a journey worth taking.
