This Time Forever
Linda Swift
This Time Forever is an historical romance full of feisty
heroines: Clarissa, who married for
money, Angeline, her sister, who
thinks she should do the same, and Polly,
a slave, who dares to claim her humanity. Enter dashing, dutiful heroes: Philip, who turned his back on the
lucrative family business to practice medicine, and Devon, who refuses to let his poverty and lack of education define
his character. Always, there’s the particularly churlish villain: Malcom, who doesn’t let marriage
interfere with his carnal pleasures or allow duty to family and country keep
him from saving his own skin. A larger number of supporting characters are
well-crafted and integrated into the story.
Set in the bloody conflict of the Civil War, the novel
parallels the lives of the characters from both North and South and unites them
in a larger battle of hearts and minds. Despite the long time span within the
novel, the author makes skillful use of dialogue, letters, and
meticulously-researched historical narrative to keep the action moving at a
satisfactory pace. There are enough explicit passages to satisfy readers who
look for them but few enough not to offend or discourage the reader who prefers
to skim through the same.
This Time Forever receives a five-star rating and
recommendation from the reviewer.

Ghosts of Denton:
The history of the mysteries in a
small Texas town
Shelly Tucker

have a ghost or two. Denton, Texas has many! Ghosts, that is. Author Shelly
Tucker claims, "People come to Denton and never want to
leave...ever!" This book contains a fraction of the ghost stories told in
the area. Established in 1857, this frontier town was wild and rambunctious.

book, you will find tales of the Goat Man at Old Alton Bridge, a ghostly
hooligan, and a librarian who never "checked out." There is the tale
of the sheriff who protects and serves the community from beyond the grave, and
of the outlaw Sam Bass, whose spirit still roams the streets. Find stories of
Nurse Betty tending patients from the afterlife, a theater manager who can't
leave his job, a Texas hero (who survived The Massacre at Goliad to die in a
Denton fire) still searching for his gold, and the spirit of John Denton
