White Swan Wishes Wes Snowden
The meeting between young Michael Grayson and the lovely Signet Bergeron, one early September day, on the misty shores of Lone Pine Lagoon appears, at first glance, to be just a chance encounter. But was it? Possibly not, because Mike’s mother, Peggy, thinks their meeting was destined to happen.
When Signet tells Mike about the legend of the White Swan Widow and her gift of three wishes, it triggers the beginning of a tumultuous lifetime love affair that starts and ends on those same misty shores. Mike comes from a family of New England scallop fishermen, while Signet’s family has a mysterious background in Paris.
Despite their backgrounds, Mike and Signet develop a growing bond that is savagely torn apart when the young couple is attacked by thugs on New Year’s Eve.

Claudia crumbles into a world driven by fear. With her trust challenged by those she loves, Claudia turns to the enigmatic Saul Reardon and together they embark on a dangerous journey in search of answers.
The protagonist is easy to relate to, living what she thinks is an ordinary life, down to earth, with a sense of humor. Colorful, unique details about her physical reactions and her surroundings, using all the senses, draw me into her situation right away with the hook of a mystery - what smells like a dead body. This novel doesn't mess around with expository, just jumps right into the action like entertainment should. When new delightful characters are introduced, I bond with them too. Masterfully written prose, graceful and urgent.
Claudia Cabriati keeps you on your toes as you follow her through the book. Well written and real page turner.
Everyone has a past. Everyone has memories good and bad. Claudia Cabriati has no memory of her first eight years of life. Some things are etched in memory such as the stench of death. Claudia smells death in her apartment. The odour evokes memories of her Papa and Nona and a time she was called Carina. The past is best forgotten until conspiracy and murder brings it back.
You won't be bored even for a second with this riveting tale of murder and frightening things. I enjoyed it from cover to cover.
This sounds fabulous, looking forward to it.

The Secrets of Raven's Rest L.C. Kincaide
When the truth can’t stay buried…
The advertised position seemed ideally suited to her, but was it a coincidence or a clever trap?
Leaving the messy London winter behind, Lila Paige looks forward to living in the Gothic manor in the country and her new position as paid companion to the reclusive Mrs. Ravenshaw.
When she arrives, others are already waiting at Raven’s Rest with their own motives. Madness, murder and the Ravenshaw Will become the talk of the day. Piecing together fragments of conversations and her own disturbing discoveries, it becomes clear that a sinister plot is unfolding.
While Lila searches for clues to how she fits in their schemes, the web around her tightens. Can she escape in time, or is a tragedy about to repeat itself?
* This is a preview of the book. It is available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited.

Really amazing story about what love can do with us. I like how characters are so real and so vivid, you drown in their story. Natasha is so strong woman and I admire by her. She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.

Who says water and oil don't mix?
Before Vinny, Raja worked solo. His unique connection to people and his intuitive brilliance was all he needed to solve crimes. Having a partner never crossed his mind. When he met Vinny that changed.
The death of a prominent banker takes Oxford-educated private investigator Raja Williams on a case to his home turf, the Caribbean. Vinny Moore, a hipster hacker who got caught with her hand in the government's cookie jar, is pressed into service helping a CIA task force stop a prolific cocaine smuggling operation in the Caribbean.
When the two cases cross, Raja and Vinny meet with explosive results. They are as different as night and day, but together they form a dynamic crime-fighting team.
Book 0 in the 12-volume Raja Williams series.

Littlethumb Sneezed Truant Memphis
"Littlethumb Sneezed triumphs as both a fast-moving mystery and literary character study. Memphis writes with effortless dexterity and a lighthearted tone, imbuing the story with a subtlety that keeps the story both swift and fascinating. Add a devastating turn of fate as the penultimate twist, and Memphis hooks in the reader as the book barrels toward a tough but satisfying conclusion. A wonderful, entertaining novel with a deep understanding of what motivates humans to do what they do, for a thoroughly original work of literary fiction." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
That title alone made me laugh. Can't wait to dive into this one!
Splendid book for fans of off-the-wall humor.
A crafty writer that knows how to surprise the reader yet supply them with a satisfying conclusion.
The first couple of lines got me hooked
