I'm working really hard to get an updated -- third edition -- of MURDERS IN THE SWAMPLAND --for for Kindle at Amazon.com.... The new version will include the original 17 stories and three sets of cop logs, with up-to-date information on the killers and, when possible, the victims. A few newer stories will be included,and then I will retire this collection to investigate new cases, which are just as dramatic, yet that have occurred more recently.

This review is from: Saying I Love You (Paperback)

I read this book out loud to my husband. He loved it! The poems are sweet, playful at times, and a pleasure to read. The cover art is very attractive, too. The author has done a fine job of conveying thoughts of love into poetry.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Saying I Love You (Paperback)

I am not usually a poetry reader. I was surprised how light and easy to read the love poems were. No deep meanings just short poems expressing love. Enjoyed them very much.

Book Description

Publication Date: June 28, 2012

"fascinating story full of twists and turns"

Mary is the only black girl she knows who has piercing blue eyes. All of her life, she has wondered where they came from. Her mother, Sadie, won't tell her, Sadie's nutty friend Corinne gets hysterical every time she see her...what to do?

After several episodes where she clearly isn't acting like herself, Mary is involved in an auto mishap and things go downhill/uphill from there. She doesn't believe she is herself; instead stating her name is Kate Wagner and she lives in Red River Parish, Louisiana. On top of that, she is a WHITE woman, not a "colored"!

The plot development of this story was fascinating. Ms Lieb's characters took on a life of their own as well as Mary/Kate's history, present and future. If you read this one, you will not be disappointed by the twists and turns of the plot and of Mary's life. I read it in one sitting and loved every minute!

MY 18TH BIRTHDAY, a book review

Patricia Lieb

Published by Solstice Publishing... Review ppears on Amazon books for Kindle

YEA.... finally, a review for MY 18TH BIRTHDAY...
By LAS Reviewer "The Long and the Short Of It Re... (USA) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: My 18th Birthday (The Annie Jo Series) (Kindle Edition)
Today is the big day and Annie Jo is eagerly awaiting the arrival of six PM. Upon that magical hour, she'll be officially eighteen. In celebration, she's decided to pack up all that is important... to her and hit the bus station - with a one way ticket out of her sleepy little town. Unfortunately, the universe has more in store for her than just a simple bus ride from Texarkana to Memphis. It's never quite that easy though, is it? Welcome to adulthood, Annie Jo, better hold onto your hat!

Annie Jo is a pretty uncomplicated character and her simplicity makes her endearing and likable from the start. Even while nursing a broken heart and carrying around the weight of things she can't change, she still manages to look life in the eye and see it for what it is - a rollercoaster ride of emotion and experience. Annie's a small town girl and it shows. She does the right thing for no other reason than because it's right. However, her small town outlook does lean towards naiveté at times, only reinforcing her innocence. Sometimes this makes her even more likable and sometimes it makes you shake your head. But she's always true to herself and that's a big part of why she's so interesting.

I enjoyed the way the author told Annie Jo's story leading up to her decision to leave Clover. She makes the flashbacks into instances of daydreaming while traveling on the bus. It was a creative and non-intrusive way to give us the back story we needed without slapping us in the face with it. I was also very impressed with the way she incorporated Annie Jo's awakening social consciousness into the story without making it overtly obvious she was doing so. There were two issues I did have with the story. One was the sometimes simplistic sentence structure and the other being the too often repeated descriptions and phrasing. However, it wasn't enough to completely distract you from the story, only slightly hindering your enjoyment for the moment.

My 18th Birthday is a great coming-of-age story set in the very turbulent times of the 1960's Civil Rights Movement. It brings the trials of the times front and center and shows you how one courageous, if a bit naïve girl, might have handled the situation. So much is packed into the twenty-four hours of Annie Jo's birthday, that you really have to read it to believe it.

Sunshine, freedom, and a little flower

Great Crested Flycatcher

April 23:
Already this spring a pair the Grey Toufted Titmice nested in the little log bird cabin that hangs in the dead tree by my bedroom porch. The parents and chicks flew-the-coop some three weeks ago. Now, an awesome set of Great Crested Flycatchers are bringing in sticks to add to materials left by this year's titmice, also from the Pine Warblers that nested there last spring. I'm so intrigged by the work these two are doing, so quickly back and forth from the soon-to-be the new hatching grounds of the new family.
