So I say to you, do not worry about your life — what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Matthew 6:25 TLV

Rejoicing

February 17th, 2024

Rejoice in the Lord always — again I will say, rejoice!

Philippians 4:4 TLV

World vs God

January 27th, 2024

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For everything in the world — the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the boasting of life — is not from the Father but from the world.

1 John 3:15-16 TLV

Six Sisters

January 14th, 2024

A young woman disappears and is feared dead, potentially murdered by her abusive husband – a handsome, shady thug with a violent reputation.

But as detectives Carly Sanderson and Sergio Martin look into the matter, they can’t find a body, and the husband has an iron-clad alibi.

He was killed earlier the same day.

Soon, it is obvious that no one connected to the case is telling the truth—not the mother who says the husband did it, not the sister who may have played a role in the crime, not the husband’s meticulous daily calendar…

Maybe not even the dead woman herself.

A great stand-alone book and a perfect addition to this brilliant series, Six Sisters will keep you guessing to the very end.

ISLAND BREEZES

Is it magic, make believe or slight of hand?

How can it all fit together to create an impossible to solve murder? Or is it murders?

Detective Sergio Martin has to figure it all out in order to solve this case. Does he? Maybe. Maybe not.

Only the ending tells the truth. Don’t bother reading the ending first. You won’t understand the brilliance of it all without reading the book before the ending comes into play.

Thank you, Mr. Alatorre, for an exciting read. I’m ready for your next story. Please don’t make me wait too long.

The Amish Beauty and the Beast

October 17th, 2023

She’s an Amish beauty with a love of reading, hiding a painful secret. He’s a reclusive, scarred military hero who won’t let anyone in. Can true love really be enough?

On her way home from the bookstore, Belle’s buggy crashes in front of the old mansion that everyone else avoids, of all places. Though she just moved to Unity, Maine, she’s already heard the rumors of the vicious beast of a man who lives there, tormented by tragedies of his past. But Belle’s not afraid of monsters.

What she finds inside the mansion is not a monster, but a man. Scarred both physiologically and physically by the horrors of military combat, Cole’s burned and disfigured face tells the story of all he lost to the war in a devastating explosion. He’s been hiding from the world ever since.

After Cole ends up hiring her as his housekeeper and caretaker for his firecracker of a grandmother, Belle can’t help her curiosity as she wonders what exactly Cole does in his office all day.

Why is Cole’s office so off-limits to Belle? What is he hiding in there?

A mysterious hand-written letter, a sweet dog named Beast, buried regrets, and their mutual love of books will either bring them closer or tear them apart, but only if Cole can lower his guard and let someone in again.

ISLAND BREEZES

I know the story of Beauty and the Beast but have never read it.

I like The Amish Beauty and the Beast much better. It has tears, smiles and surprises.

I knew what I hoped the ending would be but was never sure how it would turn out.

This is a short book that you won’t want to put down until you reach the end. It caused me to lose some sleep.

Thank you, Ashley Emma, for the Amish version of this fairy tale. I look forward to more of these fairy tales.
