Not a Whisper
J.L. Hopf: “What a great read. I didn’t see the end coming. Can’t wait until the next book is out. Fast paced, twists and turns and a little romance thrown in. WTG!!”
J. Hall: “This is an easy-reading story about the characters in a small community. It’s well written with clear development of the different characters. The writer makes it so believable that the reader is drawn into the daily life in this small town.”
Barely a Spark
G. White: “I just finished Barely a Spark, and it was one of those rare to find books you just don’t want to put it down. The book is a roller coaster ride, with an action packed story full of suspense and surprises. You have your small town characters with all the drama and humor that are such a delight to read. Great book, a great read.”
Anita T.: “I love these books! The mystery keeps you guessing, and there’s a nice twist at the end of this one. The characters are people I’d love to know, so it keeps my interest in their world. What a delight to read such well written and wholesome stories!”
Almost a Touch
Sharon A: “I love the small town settings, the believable characters, a little romance and surprise ending. I highly recommend this book and the previous books in the series. It is my personal belief that most everyone would enjoy this author’s writing style.”
Betty K.: “I have been anxiously waiting for book #3 of the Klondike Series, and wasn’t disappointed! You grabbed me at the first page, and I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure…..thanks for the ride!”
I thought I’d check in with my readers and see what length book you prefer. I find that since I started writing cozy novels, the length has gotten shorter. There’s good and bad to that. The good is it takes less time for me to write the books. The bad (maybe) is the books are read in a shorter time period.
I inherited my father’s ability to read rapidly, so I prefer long books. Otherwise, they’re just like a quick bite of candy, gone too soon!
Same here – when I had to buy paperbacks, I only got the really thick ones or I was done in an hour or two. Now I have no issue with shorter but it seems I actually have less time to read than when I was working. LOL!
I can have a short novel read within 3 days so Prefer long novels but will read any length.
I’m pretty much the same.
I tend toward series so they are normally 60k-80k range. However, prequel need to be novella size – just long enough to wet your interest! I will read any length for a stand-alone.
That’s my target range…
It really depends on how engrossed it makes me feel. Really good ones always make me wish they were longer. Like mysteries! The cozies I prefer in the normal range without half of the book describing what they wore and every little step they took. And I abhor cliff-hangers!
