AMY'S BOOKSHELF REVIEWS BOOK SPOTLIGHT

Scott Eveloff MD - Do Not Resuscitate

Sherri L. Dodd - Hummingbird Moonrise

Sherri L. Dodd - Hummingbird Moonrise

When medical intern Harry Lindmark’s patient gruesomely dies, he fears an Angel of Death is loose in his hospital. Soon, however, Harry falls under suspicion when unexpected deaths mount. His desperate investigation to clear his name reveals a nightmarish conspiracy—hungering souls of those long-dead are killing his patients, led by the vengeful soul of former physician Sylvester Morrow, as heartless in death as he was in life. Their motive is as unimaginable as it is grotesque—they are seeking escape from a painful afterlife limbo by claiming bodies left vacant at the moment of death only to be restored to life through modern medical resuscitation.


Burdened with his infant’s death and a wife grieving alone due to his long hours, Harry must now confront a more urgent challenge. How can he overcome entities that have already escaped the limits of life itself? The dead have their own plans for the living they envy, leaving Harry in desperate pursuit of some solution to save all those he cares about.


In today’s hospitals, instruments of healing can so easily be turned into instruments of death. With a belief in worlds existing beyond, Do Not Resuscitate becomes uncomfortably possible.

The past two years have taken their toll on Arista Kelly. Once an eternal optimist, now she has faced the darkness and must recalibrate what true happiness means for her. Meanwhile, Shane, her ex-boyfriend, is pulling all the right moves to help keep her sane from her heightening paranoia. But it doesn’t help that Iris, her Great Aunt Bethie’s friend, has disappeared.


Still, one additional trial remains. While searching for Iris, Bethie and Arista stumble upon a grand revelation in the eccentric woman’s home. With the discovery, they realize their run of chaos and loss of kin may have roots in a curse that dates back to the 1940s—the time when their family patriarch first built Arista’s cottage in the redwoods and crafted his insightful Ouija table.


This pursuit will not follow their accustomed recipe of adrenalized action, but the high stakes remain. Will the mysterious slow burn of unfolding events finally level Arista’s entire world or be fully extinguished, once and for all?

After a nightmarish day, Anna loses her job and her boyfriend. Eager for a fresh start, she flies to Europe to find a picturesque village where she can write—never planning to return.


Though her autism means Anna struggles to connect, she takes a job as an umbrella girl on the MotoGP motorcycle racing circuit to make ends meet. Traveling across Europe with the team, she is soon caught up in the exhilarating world of racing.


Isaac is a motorcycle racer who lives forever in his brother's shadow. His older brother is the most famous motorcycle racer of all time—a twelve-time champion. When Anna joins Isaac's team, he dares to imagine a life beyond racing—one filled with love and family. His newfound happiness improves his performance on the track, but his success causes friction. For the first time, Isaac becomes a contender for the championship and his brother's rival.


Anna and Isaac must advocate for themselves, or their newfound happiness will skid off track.


Start your engines and grab your copy of Racing Towards Destiny—filled with heart-pounding race action and steamy romance.

 For Sophie and Pierre, Provence should have been heaven: fine food, a luxury home over looking the Mediterranean, and an easygoing Hollywood “talent scout” for a boss. Instead, they get a floozy-hoarding fraudster tangled with mobsters and shady deals. Between funding the boss luxury home, and chaperone the pseudo hired talent the scoundrels plan an escape worthy of a heist film. With mafia enforcers on their trail, they race across Provence, pausing only for mouth-watering meals and a taste of freedom. Will they get away clean—or find themselves on the menu?

B. William Hoolihan- Pirate's Promise

In the shadowy, hurricane-ravaged Florida Keys, the young blacksmith turned pirate, Smith, embarks on a treacherous journey to honor the legacy of his mentor, the legendary Caesar. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of historical piracy, the narrative sweeps through the 16th to 18th centuries, where ambitious Spanish explorers ruthlessly amassed treasures from Native American societies, shipping their ill-gotten gains back to a desperate Spain.


Among this swirling maelstrom of ambition and conquest, a real-life treasure emerges in Florida—who could have imagined? Centuries later, the truth behind this treasure and its piratical past beckons two very different generations. George, now the seasoned mentor, and Billy, his eager protégé and the story's narrator, embark on the adventure of a lifetime to unearth Caesar's legendary hoard.

Join the #BEKIND Campaign

Kindness is not weakness.  

It’s the strength to listen when others turn away.  

It’s the courage to speak gently in a loud world.  

It’s the choice to see worth in every soul—especially our own.  

I created this campaign because I’ve been dismissed.  

But kindness refuses to be silent.  

Join me. Wear it. Share it. Live it.  

Be kind. Always.
