Blurb:
It’s
the Liberty Heights Stampede! B-grade actress Paulette Stone finally lands a
great movie role. The catch? Equestrian skills required. Clueless Paulette turns
to Jim Kildare for help but Paulette is hopeless. The solution? Import former
rodeo champion Grandma Dixie Sue Kildare so Jim can concentrate on trying to
romance Renee Landis, winner of the world’s worst first date contests.
While
Renee does her best to ignore her feelings for Jim, Dixie Sue runs riot in
Liberty Heights with her riding school, backyard sales and matchmaking. Then
there’s the ghost haunting LouAnn Freedbush’s house complicated by sister
BettyAnn’s failure at witch college and root beer addiction. What does psychic
Wayne predict? Who is the ghost haunting LouAnn’s basement? Can Jim lasso Renee
and win her heart?
Review:
Look out Grandma Baumgart, Dixie Sue Kildare’s in town
and The Kildare Gang’s ridin’, ropin’ and shootin’ up Liberty Heights! Grandma Baumgart’s not the only one who knows
how to pick a girl for her grandson. Dr.
James Kildare (yup, just like the TV show and that was thanks to Dixie Sue,
too) has his heart set on Renee Landis.
Fortunately, Grandma Dixie Sue approves of his choice and sets out to
help him catch her. Poor Renee doesn’t
stand a chance. Good thing she feels the
same way, despite her track record of horrible first dates and never any
seconds. But this is Liberty Heights,
New Jersey where normal doesn’t exist, but hilarious does.
Why do Liberty Heights books go so fast? Why can’t they take longer to read so I can
stay there awhile longer? Oh, I’m not
asking Ms. Druskin to pad her books. The
story is what it is and padding doesn’t improve a book at all. I just love Liberty Heights and its crazy
denizens old and new, human and animal.
I loved watching Lou Ann Freedbush trying to help her sister, Betty Ann
dry out from her root beer addiction, while coping with the ghost in the
haunted house she bought. I love Wayne
the psychic beagle, Dizzy the practically comatose horse and even Phantom, the “killer”
horse. Oh, yeah—and there’s Betty Ann’s
search for a familiar. That’s one of the
reasons she flunked out of witch school.
She couldn’t find a familiar, and that failure sapped her courage when
finals time came. She knew the material;
she just couldn’t get it out of her head and onto the page, knowing that
without a familiar she still wouldn’t be able to get her license and join RWA—Registered
Witches of America even if she aced her final.
If you follow this blog and you haven’t fallen in love
with Liberty Heights yet, you may want to start at the beginning with Animal
Crackers. If you’re a fan like me, maybe
you’ve been waiting for Book Five. You
will laugh just as hard as you have been.
I promise.
Length: 215 Pages
Price:
$5.95
You’ll
notice I always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors usually receive 40% of
the book price from the publisher.
Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes &
Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author,
editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book
Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author
will receive about $0.83.
Downloading
the file from your computer to your Kindle is as easy as transferring any file
from your computer to a USB flash drive.
Plug the USB end of your chord into a USB port on your computer and
simply move the file from your “Downloads” box to your Kindle/Documents/Books
directory. I actually download my books
using “Save As” to a “Books” file I created on my computer that’s sorted by my
publisher, friends, and books “to review,” and then transfer them to my Kindle
from there. That way, if there’s a
glitch with my Kindle, the books are on my computer. Your author will be happy you did when he/she
sees his/her royalty statement.
