Thank You for These Terrific Reviews for When Adam Fell

I've been remiss in sharing all the wonderful reviews When Adam Fell has gotten since it was released. This is partly due to having been under the weather, partly due to having traveled to Orlando and back for the Dreamspinner author event, and partly due to finishing #6 in the Foothills Pride series, Short Order.

But now that I'm back online somewhat (I'm going into edits very soon for #5 of the Foothills Pride stories, Relative Best, I thought I'd better share the half of the great reviews Adam has received. So here's the list--with links so you can read more than the sentences I include here. The other half of the list is coming in the next blog post.

Bayou Book Review: 5 / 5 stars

Definitely a fantastic addition to a fabulous series! Well written, emotional and all around fantastic! Very recommendable!

A.M. Leibowitz: 9 / 10 fountain pens

I don’t have a lot of books that are an automatic read, but this series is in that club. I’ve been following the intersecting lives of the characters since the first story, and I get a little thrill when I see there’s a new one.

Inked Rainbow Reads: 4/5 stars

This was a nice story of learning to retrust and love someone for a second chance at love. I do like Pat Henshaw’s story because it’s not all sex, they have wonderful meaning to the stories.

Rainbow Book Reviews:

Another excellent, fun, sexy romance with appearances by many of my favorite characters. I would've loved this story to be longer, as I think forgiveness, on both Adam and David's side, might have taken longer in a real-life setting, but overall the author did a very good job. This was a sweet and loving look at second chances. Thank you, Pat.

Prism Book Alliance: 4/5 stars

Another sweet and thought-provoking addition to the Foothills Pride series.

Divine Magazine: 4/5 stars

When Adam Fell is a heartwarming, thoroughly enjoyable, story…. the journey they took and the way the story came together made for a compelling 4 star read.

On My Shelves: 3.5/4 stars

When Adam Fell is a lovely story about redemption and learning to love again.   It’s a story about forgiving the ones who hurt you and forgiving yourself for your part in the hurt. It’s a story about being strong enough to lean on someone for support and being there for that same someone, so neither of you fall.

Scattered Thoughts & Rogue Words: 3.75/5 stars

I love this series and each couple that has come about.  The Foothills Pride series is rich with wonderful stories, believable people and moving romance.  When Adam Fell is the fourth, grab them all up!  I highly recommend them all.

BFD Book Bag: 3/5 stars

I was a bit disappointed in this one. Just like with book 3, I thought this story was incomplete and rushed. There were big gaps in the story.

Unquietly Me:

I enjoyed this quaint, adult, second chance MM romance. It was a quick, easy read–low on angst, honest, and heartfelt.

More reviews to come in the next post.

A View of the Foothills in Spring

Before I started writing the Foothills Pride series, my husband and I joined a camera class and drove around the Sierra Nevada foothills looking for spots to take photos. We'd eat in small town diners and cafes, walk up and down wood plank sidewalks, and take pictures.

Here are two of the pictures I took of the foothills in early spring, a year before I even started writing the series.

The Foothills Pride Series Grows

Upcoming for the Foothills Pride series: #5 in the series, Relative Best, releases as does a paperback edition of the first four books in an anthology edition--all in late summer/early fall.

Relative Best is the story of Ezekiel Bandy, owner and proprietor of Bandy's Finest Hotel which backs up to Stonewall Saloon in Stone Acres, California. Zeke is intrigued with Victor Longbow, who's looking for a photo of his Navajo ancestors to validate his existence. But complications at the Bandy Hotel complicate Zeke's search for love just as Vic's obsession does his.

Until then all four books (What's in a Name?, Redesigning Max, Behr Facts, and When Adam Fell) are available online wherever eBooks are sold.

Contributions Welcome!

At the beginning of When Adam Fell, Adam is given a check from his former lover and a list of GLBTQ organizations to which he can give the money should he decide not to accept it.

I got the idea about this list from Elisa Rolle, whose Rainbow Awards are a big part of the GLBTQ writing year. I asked her if I could share her list, and she graciously agreed.

I'm a supporter of three organizations (PFLAG, Sacramento PFLAG, and Lambda Literary), and I urge all my readers to support the organizations of their choice. We can't do enough to support equality for everyone.
