Aargh!
For some strange reason, Blogger insists on producing my last post as one continuous paragraph! Sometimes all this wondermous technology can leave one simply scratching their head . . . .
It was to have been her wedding day. It became a day of utter treachery and madness. Lily's life changes drastically when she finds herself entangled in a web of deceit, corruption, and murder. Suddenly the unwilling guardian of encrypted documents and a stolen fortune, Lily engages in a dangerous game of unmasking the men behind the crimes.
But solving the mystery is not enough -- will Lily and her true love survive the consequences of learning the truth?
What a great book. It was very hard to put down. I was on the edge of my seat practically from the first page, and I really enjoyed the local color. (Ted K. - Albuquerque, NM)
A thrilling novel about territorial New Mexico land dealings. This novel contains mystery, adventure, and unforgettable characters with strong passions of greed, love, courage, and loyalty. Short chapters add momentum to the fast pace of the novel. It is a fun read. I couldn't put it down. I wanted to solve the puzzle but I didn't want the story to end. (Las Cruces reader)
Tierra Red is exciting -- a book that is hard to put down from page one. The characters come to life and keep the reader guessing throughout. With the last page, one is already hoping for a sequel! If you like mystery and suspense, you will definitely love this book. (W. Ilse - Loda, IL)
Before I read the first hundred pages I concluded that I've read entire books that didn't have as much going on with character clarity and a meaningful direction with hints of the plot to associate with them. (F. Hosa-Dougherty - Las Cruces, NM)
Although I generally enjoy historical fiction and suspense novels, I don't often read until 5am to finish a book. This time I did. Tierra Red is so compelling and offers such a fascinating web of intrigue that I couldn't put it down. (R. Atkins - Friday Harbor, WA)
In today's world of economic upheavals, worries, and annoyances, this book is a breath of fresh air. It transports you to a different time and place with heroes, villains, mysticism, love, and thrill-packed adventures galore. (Patricia J. V. - Lexington, MA)
Congratulations on a good, good book! I liked that both the main story and the sub-stories maintained continuity all the way through to the end of the book -- and they are very believable. The descriptions are real enough that you can imagine yourself there . . . other descriptions just crackle! This was a book that I read quickly, but had to slow down near the end just to savor the story. (Jim Irvine - Prescott, AZ)
Wow! It's terrific. I can't wait for the next instalment. (M. Lawlor - Silver Springs, MD)
Tierra Red will grip you from the very first paragraph and you will find yourself drawn into the intrigue and danger of the New Mexico land wars. The book begins with terror and betrayal and runs the gamut of human emotions as you follow the lovely heroine through a tangle of lies and deceit into what promises to be a life filled with mystery, love, and triumph -- or does it? You will be reading late into the night to find out. (A. J. Richardson - Las Cruces, NM)
Captivating read! I could not put this book down and ended up reading it in just a few days! Exciting, romantic, gripping -- I was on the edge of my seat many times. I read the last few pages when I was 3/4 of the way through the book because I couldn't stand the suspense! I loved the complexity of the story and characters. Generally, I am not a fiction reader so I thoroughly appreciated the historic aspect of the book as well. My only question is: when does the sequel come out? (L. Jurist - Baltimore, MD)
From the first page, the author pulled me into the story. I had a hard time putting the book down. The historical detail combined with the mystery and intrigue made it a very enjoyable read. (Jamie)
I grew up in historic Lexington, MA with the background of the American Revolution permeating everyday life. Reading Tierra Red opened up an entire new page of history for me and one I think has been long neglected. If you want to learn how part of our country was built, about power and corruption, about a beautiful woman and romance in the Southwest, then do not hesitate to get this wonderful book and indulge yourself. (S. Kolovson - Kalamazoo, MI)
I just finished reading Tierra Red. I got so into the book that my poor family didn't get any attention from me for two days until I was finished! I was captured by the locations/places and the history that was included. I can't wait to take some trips right here in NM to put it all together. I can't wait for her next book!!! (T. Wright - Las Cruces, NM)
Great story. Good characters, plot, and great historical information on New Mexico. Highly recommend for all to enjoy. Especially good for book clubs to read and discuss -- this book has a great storyline that is a great discussion topic. (E. Seaberg - Albuquerque, NM)
As a new resident of New Mexico, I loved reading this book which is set in places very near our home. The characters were vividly drawn, the mystery compelling, and the romance steamy. What more could be asked of a good book? I plan to recommend it to my book club. (N. Miller - Franklin, IN)
A really fantastic read for everyone! This book has everything and will keep you up at night because you can't put it down. The mystery is exciting, the characters are wonderful, you can almost smell the roses and taste the coffee as you experience everything through this fantastic story. (M. Davis - Albuquerque, NM)
