Back Cover: 

Let it Rain begins a monthly, twelve story different author anthology, each concerning the adventures of those who visit Lacey’s Lamp.

 

He doesn’t give a damn about me. Lonely and bored, Blaire steps out of the sizzling sunny day into Lacey’s Lamp expecting a cool drink, not to be asked what she thirsts for more than anything else. Captivated by the festive light dancing in the barkeep’s gaze, she spits out the first silly thing that comes to mind. Unfortunately as thunderclouds gather, Blaire learns how dangerous wishes can be.

When Scott opens the door of a strange shop, the man behind the counter asks what he yearns for. Scott throws caution aside and goes for the shooting star, tossing every coin he has in the well, blowing out all the birthday candles, as he speaks from his heart. She still loves me, right? After the clouds burst, Scott comes to understand how erotic genuine desire can be.

Excerpt: 

Good Lord, this barkeep had a sparkly grin. The smile made Blaire think of nutmeg and cinnamon, dangling mistletoe, and cool fat snowflakes. She blinked green and red dots from her vision. She hadn’t seen anyone beam goodwill like this since her nine-year wedding anniversary on the twenty-fourth of December. But that was back east, before they’d moved to this godforsaken desert where people decorated cactus with garish bells, tinsel and fake snow. One year now.

 

The woman’s grin widened. “I’m Lacey. This is my lamp.”

 

“Er, looks like a bar to me.”

 

“Not if you’re a genie.”

 

Oh God, the woman’s a nutjob.

 

“Lacey’s lamp. I get it.” No I don’t.

 

“You’re my first customer. Wish for whatever you want.”

“Hmmm.” Blaire licked her lips.

About the Author:

Arlene Webb started with poetry. The pet cemetery got the biggest rocks she could make her siblings drag, with a message tucked under each. Later years found her threatened with counseling for essays on how to kill the gym teacher in ten easy steps. She survived parochial high school by stuffing thoughts into the closet.

 

She came out after her one and only went off to college, and the greenhouses she ran were flattened by a tornado. Forced into the family retail floral shops, she grabbed a blank notebook and then progressed to the keyboard in order to escape customers and ceramic figurines.

 

She loves to lose herself in another's point of view, no matter the species, and prefers subtle humor and strong plot in all genres. She also loves to hear from readers.

OUR READERS REVIEWS:

Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.

GOODREADS READER REVIEW


 

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.

-Goodreads Reader Review


 

Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.

I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.

Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars


 

"...murder, mystery and intrigue..plus did I mention our hero is a witch? Tex and his best friend Olivia are brilliant characters, really well written and I love tex's dad. Can't wait to read more about tex in the future! -Amazon Reader Review


 

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.

She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.

False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
