Book Details: Book Title: FlightLog: The Novel Adventures of a Stewardess Wannabe Who Becomes a Flight Attendant by Susan Humphrey Category: Adult Fiction (18+), 338 pages Genre: Women's Fiction, Chick Lit, Memoir(ish), Coming-of-age Publisher: Majuscule Press Release date: August, 2022 Format available for review: print (US), ebook (EPUB, PDF), audiobook (audible download) Tour dates: Mar 6 to Mar 24, 2023 Content Rating: PG. A few romantic encounters but light on the details. Reference to tobacco use.
Book Description:
“It was 1978. People didn’t have home computers, video players, or answering machines. We rented our telephones from local phone companies and hand-wrote letters. The terms ‘politically correct’ and ‘African-American’ had not been coined. ‘Eating disorders’ and ‘alternate lifestyles’ were not yet common household phrases. Only strippers wore thongs, which made perfect sense to me, as they only caused one to gyrate their hynie in a desperate attempt to dislodge the bothersome wedgie.” So writes Sherri Van Ness, an unassuming girl from the burbs of Kansas who’s about to embark on the adventure of her life when she signs up to become a stewardess. But it’s much more turbulent than this doughy-eyed 19-year-old ever imagined as she tries to navigate past grouchy passengers, fly-by-night relationships and the unforgiving, relentless, humiliating, monthly weigh-ins. Some dreams come true. Others require a vomit bag. That’s not to say Sherri doesn’t enjoy herself. Au contraire! There are friends to be made and men to be made and the maid who made up her room in New York is so nice! Yes, the work is difficult at times and the money isn’t always good, but there are perks: free flights and an endless supply of tiny vodka bottles and salted peanuts (peanut allergies hadn’t been invented yet.) Like Dorothy Gale sans Toto, Sherri leaves Kansas and finds herself amidst a cast of characters as strange to her as the Scarecrow and the Munchkins were to Dorothy. Her whirlwind journey takes her from innocent, insecure stewardess to mature and confident flight attendant. Or does she? Book your flight now with this very enjoyable read, put your seat back in the upright position, and enjoy the ride! 
Meet the Author:
Susan Jo Humphrey, the daughter of a diplomat, was born in Izmir, Turkey where she lived for three years. She also lived in Korea and Thailand, before returning home to the US with her family as a teenager. She has traveled all over the United States, and has called several parts of this country ‘home.’ Her many airplane rides as a child convinced her she must one day become a stewardess. Suz was a flight attendant for thirteen of her twenty-five years with UAL. She began penning FlightLog with the help of the Naperville Writer’s Group, outside of Chicago. There, she published in their annual pamphlet, had a humor piece printed in an online magazine, and contributed many articles to local newspapers. At the time of publication, she is busy working on FlightLog II. Away from the keyboard, Suz loves yoga, reading, cooking, listening to music and playing her guitar. She still enjoys mapping out travel to faraway places she’s never seen, as well as planning return trips to her favorite spots. She currently lives in Southern California and has two grown children. Today, she’s in healthcare, where she’s worked since 2014. Suz was the ‘baby’ of her flight attendant classes – and the ‘senior’ student in her nursing classes. She’s eager to write that story as well: a novice baby-boomer RN begins her dream career as a travel nurse – just as a pandemic breaks out! connect with the author: website

Coming Soon!   Join Us For This Tour From Feb 27 to Mar 17 Book Details: Book Title: PAPERBOY (A Dylan Tomassi Novel) by Dan Romanello Category: Adult Fiction (18+), 332 pages Genre: Coming of Age Contemporary Thriller Publisher: Sanitas Publishing, Inc. Publication Date: August, 2022. Tour dates: Feb 27 to Mar 17 Content Rating: R: A series of explicit sex scenes, minimal bad language and drug use are utilized for character and plot development. Book Description: Abandoned by his father as an infant and raised by a single mother among the wealthy and privileged in Fairfield County, Connecticut, Dylan Tomassi grew up poor. As a boy he is befriended by a mysteriously reclusive widow he meets on his paper route. She mentors him with sage advice on matters facing a young man growing up without a father. She never pays for her newspapers, and he never asks for the money because of all the good advice she dispenses. When she finally does square up, it changes his life forever. Dylan relocates to Florida and becomes a successful private investor, wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. His newfound socioeconomic status introduces him into the upper echelon of Florida society where he finds many things going on in the world simply don't make sense. With the help of his old friend and mentor, he navigates life in a turbulent modern-day society and vows to use his wealth to make a difference when he’s not sidetracked running into nefarious characters or busy keeping his best friend, wealthy playboy Alex Malloy, out of hot water. With corruption, debauchery, deception, and murder swirling around him, Dylan proves nice guys can finish first.  Meet the Authors: DAN ROMANELLO began his career working for a large Florida newspaper before attending law school at the University of Florida. After serving as an assistant state attorney, he entered private practice where he spent more than 20 years as a civil trial lawyer litigating cases in courtrooms throughout Florida.

He has the kind of mind that can make a person a national sensation on the television gameshow "The Connection Game"– and the kind of mind that can be the target of predators. Despite his brilliance, Benny and his family find themselves destitute, living in a basement apartment with one tiny window that affords them only the view of the feet of passersby on the street above. It is from this vantagepoint that Benny once again starts making connections. Mad, inconceivable connections. Connections that can change lives . . . and turn the entire world upside down.

Coming Soon!   Join us for this tour from Feb 20 to Mar 10, 2023! Book Details: Book Title: When the Smoke Cleared (A Murder Mystery in Malden) by Bill Powers Category: Adult Non-Fiction (18 +), 400 pages Genre: True Crime Publisher: PowersCourt Press Release date: Oct, 2022 Format available for review: print-softback (USA), ebook (EPUB, PDF) Will send print books out: USA Tour dates: Feb 20 to Mar 10, 2023 Content Rating: PG-13 Some violence some profanity Book Description: There is no greater distinction or responsibility for a law enforcement officer than to be selected to investigate homicides. The same is true for a prosecutor. It is analogous to a call up to the big leagues where the curveballs or slapshots are frequent and more challenging, the lights are brighter, the audience larger and louder, and the scrutiny and demand for perfection can at times be a bit overwhelming. This story follows an extraordinary murder investigation from the crime scene through to the arrest and into the courtroom. It is narrated by retired Detective Lieutenant Bill Powers, the former commander of the State Police Detective Unit for the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts: "When the smoke from the fire cleared and the water level receded, it was visually evident that a violent struggle, quite possibly a homicide, had preceded the fire. But where was the victim? The waterlogged bloodstains in the function room told us it wasn’t likely they stood up and walked out the door. We were confronted with an unusual dilemma. We not only had to investigate what happened and develop probable cause to make an arrest, but we also had to locate the poor soul who had spilled so much of their blood.” Walk the path of the investigation with Bill and his team, and then follow in ADA Adrienne Lynch’s footsteps as she guides the trial from opening statements through to the final verdict; a truly unique accounting with a bird’s eye view. Beyond a police and courtroom procedural, this story is about the personal struggles in the victim’s life and how her death impacted her family’s lives in ways no one could have foreseen. It is a love story that grew from unspeakable tragedy. Bill Powers writes from the heart because he spent twenty years living the life of a homicide investigator. He went to literally hundreds of death scenes and, while each made its mark, none had more of a personal effect on him than this case. Meet the Author: Bill Powers has been active in the Massachusetts law enforcement community since he joined the Massachusetts State Police in 1974. Over time he rose through the ranks and was promoted to the rank of Detective Lieutenant. He commanded the State Police Detective Units (SPDU) in both Middlesex and Suffolk Counties, where he had direct oversight and involvement in more than one hundred homicides. His State Police career came full circle when he was named Commandant of the Recruit Training Academy. He retired as the director of the Media Relations Section. Following his retirement, Bill was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the graduate program for forensic sciences at the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM). For the next seven years he lectured on criminal investigation and expert testimony to the graduate students. In addition, he produced training seminars for police investigators covering a wide variety of topics. Following his tenure at the BUSM he returned to the law enforcement profession as the Director of Public Safety at Wentworth Institute in Boston. Bill earned an undergraduate degree from Northeastern University with a major in Criminal Justice and a Juris Doctorate degree from the New England School of Law. He resides South of Boston with his wife Jane. Their two daughters and their families live nearby. He has been blessed with five remarkable grandchildren who sparkle like bright stars in the night sky. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ goodreads Tour Schedule: Feb 20 – Jazzy Book Reviews – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway Feb 20 - Locks, Hooks and Books – book review / giveaway Feb 21 – Stephanie Jane – book spotlight / author interview / giveaway Feb 22 – Cover Lover Book Review – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway Feb 23 – Paws.Read.Repeat – book review / giveaway Feb 24 – Novels Alive – book review / giveaway Feb 27 – Diane’s Book Journal – book review Feb 28 – The Adventures of a Traveler's Wife – book review / giveaway Mar 1 – fundinmental – book spotlight / giveaway Mar 1 - Deborah-Zenha Adams – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway Mar 2 – Mystery Review Crew – book review / guest post / giveaway Mar 3 – Book Corner News and Reviews – book review / giveaway Mar 3 - Sandra's Book Club – book review Mar 6 – Celticlady's Reviews – book spotlight / giveaway Mar 6 - Splashes of Joy – book review / giveaway Mar 7 - Honey Can Do It – book review / guest post / giveaway Mar 7 – Liese's Blog – book spotlight Mar 8 – Adventurous Jessy – book review / giveaway Mar 9 – Books and Games – book review Mar 10 – The Obsessed Reader – book review / giveaway Enter the Giveaway:
