Whatever You Do Stay Alive By: Sherry Robinson



Whatever You Do Stay Alive
By: Sherry Robinson

When I first started reading this book, I felt sorry for April Conners. She was being put in a bad position representing an ‘alleged’ criminal on trial for murder of the Mayor’s daughter. 

This is her first solo case, and all she wants to do, is show them all that she can do it, whether or not the guy is guilty or not. 

Aprils job is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that her client is not guilty. The town won’t have it. As far as they are concerned, the guy is guilty as hell.

April on the other hand, realizes he could be, but she needs to do her job and nothing else. While everyone else has already convicted her client, she has to deal with the implications, and abuse from the Judges, and dirty looks from everyone, and outbreaks from her client. She is about fed up, and ready to throw in the towel, when finally, she decides to speak with one of the Judges and asks him to consider recusing himself. 

Eventually that Judge does as she asks, and she gets yet another Judge, who also doesn’t put up with anything in his court room. Once again, April is thrown to the wolves by yet another Judge. 

About ready to give up, April can hardly wait to go home for her date with her boyfriend later that night. Finally, she will be able to take her mind off of the case, and maybe even relax, and enjoy herself.

To make a long story short, somehow, her client gets released, and her plans for a relaxing night, turn into a night from hell. Thus, the title: “Whatever You Do Stay Alive.”

Eventually, April learns by looking up online, that the Mayors daughter was not her clients first kill. She in fact, was seeing even more than she wanted too, when she realized that this idiot had even killed her boyfriend, and intended on killing her next. 

You will read a down right shocking mystery thriller as you witness first hand from April Connors eyes, her life in danger, and the wrath of the killer she is dealing with, and how she hopes to overcome him, but will she? 

You will need to read this overwhelming five-star book and find out. This is an exciting book, that will keep you wanting more as you sit on the edge of your seat, cringing and waiting, and worrying about April. You will be pleased, trust me.

Here are my questions for Sherry:


1.  What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
The title just came to me one day, so I decided to act on it. It took me about six months to write this book.

I also like to crochet in my past time, as well as spend some quality time with my grandchildren.  I also like watching horror movies.

7. Where is your favorite place to write?
I can write anywhere, but mainly I write in my room.

8. Have you met any great new since you became a writer? Like fans or anything?

See You in September By: Debbie Zello



See You in September
Refuge Series Book 1

By: Debbie Zello

The cover of this book is quite an eye catcher, a gorgeous hunk sitting there with bare arms, and white shorts, and a tattoo on his shoulder. 

Onto the review: Cheri Winslow’s life was just starting to return to normal, finally her and David were through, and she could move on. 

One Summer, Cheri was at her cottage, and managed to meet a fascinating neighbor next door. Gareth Marshall. She found him exciting and fun to be around, and he couldn’t resist her charms, even though he wanted to.

Cheri and Gareth spent a lot of time together, and eventually they had to return home. But that didn’t stop them from agreeing to meet back at the cottage in September for more passion and fun.

Wouldn’t you know it, the jealous ex-husband David decided he would interfere with their plans, and ruin everything. The man has every intention of ruining Cheri’s happiness, and attempting to prove to her that she made a mistake. 

The question is, will Cheri and Gareth teach David a lesson, or will David over power them both? What do you think could happen in this five-star book that at first, seems like is going to be a romance, until in September, it appears to be a thriller? Will you, the reader be able to keep up? Will you vote for the bad guy, or the good guy? Whose side are you on? So many twists and turns, right up until the end, that you will not be able to put this amazing book down. As always, Debbie Zello, will make your head spin with her amazing five-star, stories! She is one fantabulous writer!

Here are my questions for Debbie:

1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
As with nearly all of my books, the characters gave me this story. Cheri began telling me and Gareth wove his in between. I spend about a month on this one. The revision took another few weeks.



2. Who did this gorgeous cover?
The cover model is Kennedy Gilbertson. This is his first cover and he will be on the cover of all four books in the Refuge Series. Tiffany Huegele is the cover artist. Thank you for liking it!


3. Do you have photos or descriptions of Cheri, David or Gareth?
Cheri is a petite woman in her early 30s. She doesn't see her beauty and just thinks of herself as a regular woman. Gareth is a big man. Cheri asks him how he got so big. He's a former Marine and took his service to his country very seriously. David is ugly on the inside but blessed on the outside.



4. What are you working on now?
I'm writing a young adult story. Yes, I'm taking the plunge. The working title is I Don't Think Were in 2017 Anymore. It's about Dorothy, from The Wizard of Oz, great granddaughter, Dee. Dee finds Dorothy's shoes and goes on fantastic adventures. It's a funny and historical journey. 
The other three stories in the Refuge Series are finished and in various stages of publishing. The next one, A Snow Covered Nightmare, will be out in October. Followed by, Found in Understanding and The Masters Wife.



5. What makes you desire to write?
I ask myself that all the time. It's an expensive art. You have to have a thick skin. There is an enormous amount of competition. Still, the voices won't stop, so I write on, hoping that someone will enjoy where I take them for a few hours.



6. What led you to become the fabulous author you are today?
Well, aren't you the sweetest person! Thank you for that. I put my faith in the readers. I'm praying they find me and give me a chance.



7. Have you ever had writers block? Whether or not you have- what do you suggest to bypass it?
I have stopped from time to time. I just go with it. Fighting to write makes a terrible story. Relaxing and allowing the creativity to flow even if it's not on my timetable is best. I tell new authors the worst thing you can do is say the book will be done on a certain day. That's too much pressure. It will be done when it's finished.



8. What is your favorite thing to do OTHER than writing?
I love to read. That's how you learn to be a better writer.


9. Do you put any of you in your characters?
Yes, I do! In fact, Cheri is the most like me so far.


10. What are your hobbies?
I used to paint folk art. I don't have the time anymore. I love watching old movies.
