[Guest Reviewer] June Book Review: Exit 22 By p.m. terrell

June 2009 Book Review
Exit 22 By p.m. terrell
with Guest Reviewer Author & Artist Pamela June Kimmell

As a fan of her work, I can honestly evaluate this book and say without hesitation that P.M. Terrell has gone above and beyond with her latest thriller, Exit 22. She already demonstrated in her previous work the ability to create wonderfully believable characters and situations. Her latest novel simply demonstrates that just when you think she's the best she can be, she gets better.

This is a "can't put it down" type of book. Partly because of the tightly knit, well paced plotline but also because these characters are so real you find yourself pulled immediately into the riptide of suspense as you "live" the action. If you are like me, and enjoy a book that holds your interest, you will stay there until the very last paragraph and only then can you catch your breath.

Don’t you just love that feeling?

Author Extends Book Naming Contest

We previously posted a book contest to name Elle C. Turner's upcoming book in the Presley Thurman series. She's extended the contest until June 15, so you still have time to get in on it! If she uses your title, you'll win $100 to shop The Book Blues!

Here's the previous information:

How often have you seen a book and thought, "Wow. I could come up with a waaaaaay cooler title!"

(OK, maybe that's just us. Whatever.)

Anyway...

Indie author Elle C. Turner (real name Laina Molaski) is asking for our help in naming her upcoming chick lit novel. Part of the Presley Thurman Series, Elle's debut (and yet untitled) novel will be released in August 2009 and she wants you involved in the book naming contest.

Wait, that's not all!

If you are a Book Blues Bookstore customer who wins the contest, Elle will give you $100 gift certificate to shop The Book Blues Bookstore! The winner will also get his or her title in print, a signed copy of the first release, and your name in the dedication.

Groovy, huh?

Here's some info on the book:

Presley Thurman, lover of shoes and Starbucks, thinks she's starting a fun new career as a writer until it turns into something unexpected. The person she's to write about, a U.S. Senator is murdered! Presley hasn't seen this much excitement since the spring sample sale at Saks...

Head on over to Elle's blog to check out the cover. And then get your thinking caps on because you only have until May 30 June 15. When you're ready to enter your choices, go to Elle's contact page and fill out the required information with your title suggestions in the message field. (Don't forget to let her know The Book Blues Bookstore sent you!) Elle says, "Enter as many times as you wish when inspiration hits or when you're just really, really bored."

The winners will be announced in June and we'll re-post the winning title information here.

So, go on now, get creative (but don't embarrass us)!
