Genre: Historical / Gothic Romance  Lady Jayne Disappears |
| -From Amazon- When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company. When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, writing the family into the story as unflattering characters, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance--and perhaps even her father's death. Author Joanna Davidson Politano's stunning debut set in Victorian England will delight readers with its highly original plot, lush setting, vibrant characters, and reluctant romance. ISBN-13: 978-0800728755 Will she find the answers she seeks...or die trying? Rarely does a cover and/or title become the deciding factor on whether I want to read a book. But Lady Jayne Disappears was one of the exceptions. I didn't even read the back cover blurb before deciding that I wanted to read this book. The use of grayscale and a dramatic 'vanishing' font made for a very mysterious and effective image. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.
 Joanna Davidson Politano |
There are several types of debut books, ranging from “I can't even finish this” to “this book was so good I wish there were more books available from this author.” Lady Jayne Disappears was definitely in the latter category. It was truly hard to believe that this is Joanna Davidson Politano's debut novel! I was hooked by this Gothic romance from the start! A couple of historical anachronisms did not deter my enjoyment of the story one iota. I was very quickly immersed in Joanna Davidson Politano's richly mysterious atmosphere peopled with characters that are never as they first appear and all have hidden motives of one kind or another. This deliciously spooky novel had more twists and turns than an English manor and I was quite surprised by some of the final revelations!
Lady Jayne Disappears is a wonderful read that is not to be missed! And I will be watching this new author with great interest.

The Austen Escape
by Katherine Reay
| -From Amazon- Falling into the past will change their futures forever. Mary Davies finds safety in her ordered and productive life. Working as an engineer, she genuinely enjoys her job and her colleagues—particularly a certain adorable and intelligent consultant. But something is missing. When Mary’s estranged childhood friend, Isabel Dwyer offers her a two-week stay in a gorgeous manor house in England, she reluctantly agrees in hopes that the holiday will shake up her quiet life in just the right ways. But Mary gets more than she bargained for when Isabel loses her memory and fully believes she lives in Jane Austen’s Bath. While Isabel rests and delights in the leisure of a Regency lady, attended by other costume-clad guests, Mary uncovers startling truths about their shared past, who Isabel was, who she seems to be, and the man who now stands between them. Outings are undertaken, misunderstandings arise, and dancing ensues as this company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation, work out their lives and hearts. ISBN-13: 978-0718078096 Is it just an escape or will they find all that they seek? |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.
 Katherine Reay |
The Austen Escape is, I think, the fourth novel by Katherine Reay that I've read. And I think one of the most interesting. Katherine Reay has a knack for creating flawed characters dealing with the same issues that we do in real life. Life is messy, it isn't just black and white, it doesn't have straight lines, people have hurts and quirks that affect every aspect of their lives and the decisions that they make. Mary and Isabel, and even Nathan, truly personify this in The Austen Escape. They make mistakes, they make false assumptions, and they even try to hurt those closest to them because they themselves have been hurt. Sound familiar? Yeah, definitely does to me, too.
The Austen Escape is a book that will tug at the heart, convict the reader a little, and is also simply a fun, yes, I'm going to say 'escape' into the world of modern day Bath, England, and the fascination with Jane Austen and the Regency Era. That being said, Jane-Austen-philes will love all the references to her novels and their wonderful characters but readers, like me, who have read some but not all of the books and watched some but not all of the movies will not feel bogged down by just another remake. The Austen Escape is its own story and only borrows the best parts from the 200-year-old novels. Fans of Katherine Reay will not be disappointed in this new book from such a talented author.

 Melanie Dobson |
I quickly became a fan of Melanie Dobson's after reading a couple of her wonderful time-split novels. Enchanted Isle was a delight to read, filled with Melanie Dobson's trademark attention to historical detail, multi-faceted characters, and rich descriptions of English life. The Lake District did indeed come to life and the amusement park was nearly a character in and of itself. Not to mention the touch of Gothic romance was perfectly delightful.
I'm not usually as quick of a reader when using my Kindle, finding it easier to be distracted by other things, but this time I had a hard time putting it down. Enchanted Isle is definitely an enchanted story and if you enjoy this author's stories as much as I do this is one book to put on your Must Read list!

Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse return once again to the vast expanse that would become the 49th state. The magic word 'Alaska' was really all it took for me to take an interest In The Shadow Of Denali. I've read books from the authors individually but this is the first one that they co-authored.
I had a hard time connecting with the main characters at times, finding them both to be quite naive. But I did appreciate Allan's journey to forgiveness, a struggle, which for a myriad of reasons, many of us are familiar with. For me at least, the real stars of the book were the Curry Hotel and Denali 'The Great One'. Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse brought them both life with such vivid descriptions it was almost like being there.
In The Shadow Of Denali is a sweet romance with some dashes of danger from a nasty villain and especially the capricious Alaskan weather. Fans of both authors will enjoy this trip to Alaska of the 1920s.

by Nadine Brandes
| -From Amazon- What more can you sacrifice than your life? Parvin Blackwater is dead. At least that's what the Council and the world thinks. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. Now she will rise again. Strong, free, and fearless. Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Can a one-handed Radical and a scarred ex-Enforcer really bring shalom to the world? ISBN-13: 978-1683700463 It was her Time to Die, then to Speak, and now to Rise... | This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.
 Nadine Brandes |
I'm not a dystopian fan, never have been. But I AM a Nadine Brandes fan! In the space of four days I've finished books 2 and 3 in the Out Of Time series. That's 800 pages in four days. I. Just. Couldn't. Stop. Reading. Where do I go now that I've turned the last page of A Time To Rise? I don't know. I'm never at a loss for something to read but this series will be one that stays with me for a long time, I think.
As I've read this series something different has stood out to me in each book. This time it was trust, total trust in God, even when it makes absolutely no sense. Parvin has had to this in each book but in A Time To Rise she must do it over and over. There is a lot about forgiveness in this story but that ultimate trust in God is was what really spoke to me personally.
Nadine Brandes has really run her characters through the wringer in this series, and A Time To Rise was no exception. It was a good conclusion to a powerful series. All of the threads and loose ends are finally woven together in a surprising way. Emotionally moving, nail-bitingly suspenseful, this is a book not to be missed. May we all find the Shalom that Parvin strives to find for herself and her people...

My Review
From very different backgrounds can they find love?
What a sweet historical romance! It's really hard to believe that this is one of Angie Dicken's first novels! My Heart Belongs In Castle Gate, Utah: Leanna's Choice is a wonderful addition to this fun series! Entertaining but taking on some difficult issues including prejudice and crippling regret.
Prejudice is the enemy for Leanna and Alex, both of them even deal with it a little bit in their own hearts. I very much appreciated how the author, intentionally or not, portrayed that prejudice comes in many forms and from all directions. Readers will find themselves delighted as love and hope begin to win out over the darkness.
My Heart Belongs In Castle Gate, Utah: Leanna's Choice is a lovely story, slim in size and in many ways a quick read, but definitely an enjoyable one. This book, and the entire series, is a must read for historical romance fans. And I think Angie Dicken will be a new author to watch...

“Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27:14
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27:14
I wrote a story five years ago. My footing was finally solid on how to write, after a couple ACFW conferences and connecting with my bestie writing sister, Ashley. So in 2012, I poured my heart out within the parameters of what I’d learned.
|
The story I wrote stemmed from my heritage. From a very young age, I’ve been inspired by my grandfather. He was the son of a Greek coal miner who came over from Greece in the 1910’s. My grandfather always had wonderful stories to tell–he stirred up my intrigue for WWII era as he was a Purple Heart recipient (twice), and spoke of freeing concentration camps and invading Hitler’s homes; my grandfather lived a rags to riches legacy, having been born in a tent in a coal town, and then becoming a successful home and commercial builder–I declared I’d be an architect at age eleven…even majoring in Landscape Architecture in college.
Papou was one of my greatest heroes. And my novel was a tribute to him, to my Greek roots, to an American legacy. |
My great grandfather, born in 1884
and immigrated to Utah in 1910’s. |
So, at ACFW 2012, I took my novel to conference with more confidence than I had before. This story caught the attention of an agent– and I signed a contract with the Steve Laube Agency in November of that year. That was amazing…I chuckle now because the name of the room that I interviewed with Tamela was the “McKee” room–the last name of my heroine. A sign? Maybe. When she sent my story out for all publishers to see that next month, I thought my time for that book was just around the corner.
And…
Now it’s 2017, and that story is under contract with a publisher as of Fall 2016.
What timing, right?
Why the heck did it take so long? Not for lack of trying. My agent and I took every possible measure.
Why did I get rejection after rejection, and write two other books in the wait?
What happened between then?
Only in looking back, do I see why I had to wait for this book. And when I look back, I realize just how much Timing is His and there’s nothing I can do to speed it up or make it mine. All I can do is take courage, and wait.
I’ll give you a quick recap of what happened between 2013–when the book was put in the proverbial drawer of unwanted manuscripts–and now, 2017, the year it will get published (um, after a few rewrites and edits–always learning…).

|
In looking back, this is what I see:
My Community was Built. I fell in love with my writer friendships. A bit dramatic? Maybe, but it’s the truth. I connected with ladies who knew my heart as a writer, and allowed me into their lives in an authentic, Christ-loving way. I found hope in the writing journey because my friends held my hands and rubbed my back when all seemed lost. And in this, I grew not as a writer, but as a heart. My heart became soft for the needs of others and the value of authenticity in this short, precious life.
|
|
|
There was a Pride Monster, and He needed to kill it. Oh, Lord, if ever there was a pride monster, it was me. My gut reaction in every rejection, every criticism, every other person’s success was a measurement against them according to me. Yuck. Do you know what the best way to kill a Pride Monster? Starve it. Even though I had my sweet friends and my agent encouraging me along the way, my heart was set on publication and I was not getting that. I wanted it so badly that I turned ugly when it seemed to slip through my fingers with every rejection.
|
And I spiraled and I came up for air to those authentic friendships speaking Truth in love. God knew what He was doing when He built my community, and He knew He would use it to lift me up and tear down my ugly.
|
The Darkest Valley Was Ahead. Everything stood still in 2014. My personal crisis gave me little room for any true focus on my writing success. If anything, it made the effort seem petty. When you go through your days wondering if you’ll make it to the next morning without a complete mental breakdown, you can’t really dream. My dream in those moments was to crawl out of my skin and run away. This was not about my writing, this was about God’s faithfulness to someone who was losing faith–in the person she loved, in the life she constructed, in the heart that was broken. Looking back (I did climb up and out of this valley), I needed this valley walk (or crawl) to happen when it did–without a book on the shelf, without confidence in something that I had accomplished. I needed brokenness to become stronger and know that my strength has nothing to do with me.
|
|
There are several other moments and signs that I see as I look back, but I’m not going for the longest blog post of 2017, but I do want to share two sweet confirmations that the timing really is His.
|
First, I got a book contract! You know this, but, the contract came at a time when I had grown peaceful in the journey–the pride monster lay slain, and I picked up a pen and took an opportunity. My Oklahoma Land Run book with Love Inspired Historical won the Manuscript Matchmakers contest…and WAS coming out in Spring 2018. |
I had secretly told those closest to me, that it would’ve been nice for it to come out in September instead… just because that’s when the book opens–September, 1893–the historical date of the Land Run.
So, what happens after I turn in my complete book a few days before its deadline? My editor tells me they bumped up my date to September of 2017. And I am sure, for them, it had nothing to do with the history, but for me, it was everything to do with the history–and His timing. Look for my debut novel, The Outlaw’s Second Chance this September!
There’s more…
My second contract came in! And this was a wonderful surprise. My agent and I had found out last spring that a new series was being launched based on geographical places around the U.S. I immediately thought of my Coal country story. So, I put together a proposal for a book I’d written long ago…and got a contract with Barbour this Fall for my novel, My Heart Belongs in Castle Gate, Utah.
But, the timing? November 2017 is my release.
God’s Timing in its finest…The book comes out during the centennial year of my grandfather’s birth. He was born in Dec. 1917 in Carbon County, Utah. My hero and my inspiration for this very book.
I just can’t stop smiling at the chance to honor my late grandfather with a story written by his third generation Greek American granddaughter who was inspired by his roots grown a century ago.
If only he could be here now. But I know he’s smiling, too.
A century.
It took a CENTURY.
Only by God’s grace, and His perfect timing.

A Time To Speak
Out Of Time book 2
by Nadine Brandes
| -From Amazon- What happens when you live longer than you wanted to? Parvin Blackwater wanted to die, but now she’s being called to be a leader. The only problem is, no one wants to follow. The Council uses Jude’s Clock-matching invention to force “new-and-improved” Clocks on the public. Those who can’t afford one are packed into boxcars like cattle and used for the Council’s purposes. Parvin and Hawke find themselves on a cargo ship of Radicals headed out to sea. What will the Council do to them? And why are people suddenly dying before their Clocks have zeroed-out? ASIN: B013Z40BIS It was her Time To Die, now it's her Time To Speak... | This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.
|
I didn't mean to... I really didn't... I had other books I needed to be reading. I really did. But I just couldn't help myself... Ever since I finished reading A Time To Die, and it ended on such a cliffhanger, I've been thinking about Parvin, and Solomon, and Willow, and Elm, and Mr. and Mrs. Blackwater, and all of the other characters, some who had become my friends and some I that I felt were my enemies as well. Yeah, Nadine Brandes is just THAT good! My emotions were totally engaged with the first book and I found that to be even more true with A Time To Speak.
And this time around I found myself thinking even more about what it would be like to know your exact time of death and wondering how it would affect me if I knew. Would I, coward that I am, realize that I had nothing to lose and that nothing I could do would add another second to my time? You see, I already know the one thing that Parvin, and all of the others in the USE, struggle with, every moment of my life is in God's hands. I do not draw a single breath without Him. Pretty deep for a YA book you say? Maybe. But I have to say that I like to find a YA book, or any book, that both entertains and makes you think.
A Time To Speak is an utterly engrossing story. I couldn't seem to put it down, I just HAD to know what would come next. This book is a bit gritty but it is also oh so wonderful. Nadine Brandes has written a story that will stay with the reader, YA and Adult alike, long after that last page is turned. Now, on to book three...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives A Time To Speak by Nadine Brandes a 4.5 Bark rating.
And this time around I found myself thinking even more about what it would be like to know your exact time of death and wondering how it would affect me if I knew. Would I, coward that I am, realize that I had nothing to lose and that nothing I could do would add another second to my time?

Author
Reading and history have been my passion since early childhood when my parents encouraged both. I was introduced to Christian fiction around age 4-5 while listening to radio drama adaptations of books by great authors including Janette Oke. I have been a voracious reader and avid library patron ever since. I started Tell Tale Book Reviews in December 2012. I am also an active volunteer in the areas I hold most dear, library, museum, and pets. Hobbies include a small bead jewelry business, watching classic movies/ TV, listening to Irish/Celtic music, and autograph collecting.
TELL
2008-2017
Born in October, he was a purebred Alaskan Malamute. His red fur and sparkling green eyes highlighted his happy and loving personality. He loved walks, hugs, sneaking human food treats, and Milk Bones.
