Review: The Rose Man by Terry M. West

The Rose Man by Terry M. West

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Terry M. West first wrote The Rose Man in 1987 but never released until this year. It is a great story that exhibits the natural writing talent that Terry pours into all of his works whether they be short stories or full length novels. "The Rose Man" tells the story of a man named Dane and his encounter with a Creole street peddler who sells individually wrapped roses. Things start out gently and then unfold into a nerve jangling tale of supernatural revenge and horrible death. I was very impressed with West's ability to bring the Creole dialect to life and I can assure it is spot on. As with all of West's works that I have read, I was never bored and thoroughly entertained from start to finish.

Review: Gwen Gladstone: A Tale From The Town of Harmony

Gwen Gladstone by Dan Trumpis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"Gwen Gladstone..." is a sad and moving tale about a 13 year old girl who becomes stricken with episodes of depression and anxiety after the sudden death of her mother. She goes from being one of the popular girls in school to becoming an outcast shunned by her former friends. Gwen's father marries a woman she knows nothing about and they move into this woman's home in the town of Harmony. What becomes of Gwen in her new surroundings I will leave for you to discover, but this is a great book for readers of all ages.
