Candace Smith's Blog

Recently I was a judge in a contest. I was given 5 books to read and rate. Some of the books were in genres I was unfamiliar with, and I found the experience fun, informative and intriguing. I'm so glad I chose to devote the time away from writing to 'have' to read. I had the chance to enjoy some great books by some excellent authors. (Please see my reviews.)

Steampunk? Zombies? Erotic Fairy-tales? I tread uncertainly into these territories. You will notice I post primarily 5 star reviews. There is... acknowledging my eccentricity... a method to this madness. My mind is a multi-tasking chaotic mess. If a book doesn't grab me, and I mean enough to finish it in one sitting!, it is shelved and rarely read to the end. I won't review or rate it in the chance it might have gotten better if I stuck with it.

If a book captures me and takes me away so I forget my surroundings, it is worth a 5 star. All of these books definitely qualified and I highly recommend.

Captive Travelers is selling well on Amazon. SlipStream was released today by Strict Publishing. It is a fun, sexy gunslinger novel. For an excerpt, please visit: http://candacebooks.com/Slip-Stream.php
