Reality? Not yet. And, fortunately, this is not about the unfortunate Tiger Woods scandal, exactly. The Widowmaker, a recently published 384 page novel, by author Gene Cartwright, writing as ‘Michael Manstar’ is ahead of its time. But as today’s headlines show, time may be catching up.

In 2006, they launched the idea to the world. Authors create a page with their bio, books, and tour dates. Venues looking for speakers list their site on BookTour.

Gumbo Justice - Holli Castillo, Author - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
'Ryan couldn't keep her thoughts from drifting back to the homicides on the short drive home.

It was the ultimate humiliation, and the same way he had committed his own gang murders, including the one Ryan had tried to prosecute. And Jeremiah had been beaten, the same way he…

This book is made up of 3 individual stories. All three are short reads and other than the setting, which is Mexico, all three are completely different.
The 1st story is about the passing of Father Rodrigo and the secrets that died with him.
The 2nd is about Angelina and her escape from a kidnapper.
And the 3rd, which was my favorite, is about Nuna and her mysterious power to heal.
This was truly a great collection of short stories.
