Jilly-Bean

Jilly-Bean

Book Description

 

Temperatures are rising and superstition reigns supreme!

Eighteen year old Jillian Crossland has her life planned out. Or so she thinks!

Despite her better judgement, a séance one evening sets a blueprint for disaster when fate steps in and shakes up her plans and her life!

Jilly-Bean is a novel that explores contemporary life in the throes of global warming and on the edge of madness.

Book Review

 

This story was very much character driven.  The plot was slow to start and was very convoluted in many places.  However, the characters were well thought out and very well rounded.

I had problems trying to stay focused on reading.  There were many times when the story became too overly descriptive and my mind would end up wandering elsewhere. 

It was a nice story.  However, it never really drew me into it.   It just felt like it was going nowhere.

I'd like to thank-you for taking the time to review my novel Jilly-Bean. Unfortunately, the copy you receved was not updated for changes that were made to the ending. I tried contacting all the recipients but I guess I missed you? A few chapters were switched around. The reason I did this was so there would be better flow and continuity of events. The book is now part of a series. Would you be able to contact customer service and get the revised copy downloaded to your Kindle? I had another reviewer do the same thing and apparently they can do it within seconds.





Cheers!

Long Time No Post

Well, I finally got rid of my old website. I just couldn't handle all the spam comments I got on a daily basis. I might have some of my posts saved to my computer. If so, then I will put them into this blog. In the meantime, I am going to try to become active in blogging again. I can't promise anything. I had gotten so discouraged by the spam, that I had completely given up.

Review–An Apple A Day

  Image via Wikipedia Book Description   From Old Testament proverbs to modern phrases like "the best things in life are free," An Apple a Day takes a fun look at expressions that "have stood the test of time." Read through from start to finish or search through the list of hundreds of the most common proverbs, arranged from A to Z for easy reference. You'll learn about each proverb's surprising origins, why some are valid and others are not, the derivation and meanings behind them, and their relevance in today's society. Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century. But while it is always useful to have a second opinion (A sounding board? Someone else to blame?) it might also be worth bearing in
