Review: Courageous Love

-


        `Courageous Love` is a young adult, historical fiction book written by author Susan K. Marlow. I like the opening quote by John Wayne - America's Cowboy. `Courage is being scared to death...but saddling up anyway!`

        It's a bit mystery and gripping suspense with a tad of romance. Who cut the barbed wire fence, and why? Who set the horse barn on fire, and who is killing the cattle? This intriguing story will keep you reading to the end to ensure the safety of the Carter family.

        I don't read much young adult books because of the language used in a lot of them. I was intrigued by the title of this book and was pleased to find it was a clean read. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a clean young adult book.

This is a good read.
There are three more in the series, this was book #4.
I haven't read the others but this one was good as a stand-alone.
I hope you get a chance to read them.

Have a great day!!

Q & A with Ann Gabhart

Please welcome author Ann Gabhart to New Horizon Reviews

   Ann, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit New Horizon Reviews.

(1)  What is the hardest thing about writing?
For me, the hardest thing is getting that first draft out of my head and down on paper (or computer screen.) Once I get my idea and figure out my characters and place I’m ready to write that first line. Sometimes all goes well with the story for a while, but I generally hit a spot while writing when I wonder if the story is working, if I even have an idea worth pursuing, if what I’m writing makes any sense. The words for the next scenes can come hard then as I push through this lag in my writing energy. Writing a story is exciting. I love it, but it is rarely easy to get from Chapter 1 through thousands of words to the end. But once I have my first draft, I’m happy to edit. That’s the easy work for me.
(2) In your book, `These Healing Hills`, what surprised you mo…

It is my pleasure to have author MaryLu Tyndall visit my blog today. 
        MaryLu is the author of the `Protectors of the Spear` series. Please give her a warm welcome.

Q & A with author MaryLu Tyndall:

(1) What do you like to do in your spare time?      Spare time? What's that? You must mean the extra time I had before grandkids? LOL. ;-)  Well, I used to love to garden and oil paint, but I've had to put those aside for now. I do have a reef tank aquarium in my office that I really enjoy maintaining.
(2) What is your, just for fun, book?  You'll laugh at this, but anything by Ted Dekker is my go-to book for entertainment. I normally read historical romance, but Ted's books are scary, supernatural, Biblical, and page-turning. Love them! 
(3) During a chat what would your cup be filled to the brim with?   Coffee! 
(4) How do you best bring glory to God?   Well, hopefully, I do bring glory to God. It certainly is my desire to do so every day of my life. I would…
