By Eleanor Kuhns

July 18, 2013

The Seventh Trumpet by Peter Tremayne is the 21st mystery of ancient Ireland featuring Sister Fidelma of Cashel, now a married woman, but still a dedicated advocate for the law (available July 23, 2013). Although we think of the seventh century as a primitive time, the Dark Ages if you will, Ireland was then a…

A Time of Change by Aimee and David Thurlo

Fresh Meat: A Time of Change by Aimee and David Thurlo

By Eleanor Kuhns

March 28, 2013

A Time of Change by Aimee and David Thurlo is a stand-alone romantic suspense novel (available April 9, 2013). I am a long time fan of the Aimee and David Thurlo Ella Clah mysteries. A Time of Change is a stand-alone, but like the Ella Clah novels, it is set in Navajo country in New…

(I've already shared my thoughts on Bad Action Heroes and…

December 13, 2012

I love action movies, good, bad and indifferent. I don’t just watch them; I inhale them, and sometimes the worse they are the more I like them. Usually these strictly B movie action flicks do poorly at the box office. Successful ones earn back the money they cost to make. Under Siege, a Steven Seagal…

Dirty Secret or Best Ad Ever? Mature Librarian, Video Game Fanatic…

By Eleanor Kuhns

November 15, 2012

I’m going to lay my dirty little secret right out there; I love video games. Since I am a woman of a certain age, and a librarian, most people react with shock and astonishment. I can hear the words, “what’s wrong with you?” trembling on their lips. At ComicCon a few years I obtained the…
