Lyn Asks the April Question

booksbylyncote.com Posted on by

Do you Enjoy Real History

or What Hollywood Dreamed up?

The April Question is: Do you enjoy reading and “learning” about the true history of the West? I love doing historical research. (I have a Master’s Degree in American history.) I love reading eye witness accounts of actual events and digging into what really happened, not what Hollywood “dreamed up.” How about you? Do you have any pet peeves about this? I have some!  Please leave your pet peeves here–ie, what have you seen on the screen you thought could not be accurate?.

Tease: Did you know that from 1821 to 1846 that Texas was

  1. a Spanish colony
  2. part of the Mexican Republic
  3. a sovereign nation and finally
  4. part of the USA!

That many changes in such a short span of time gives my characters A LOT to survive and thrive through.I can’t wait to take you on the journey  life and loves of the people of Texas—all of them in my series, LONE STAR COURAGE. –Lyn

A Christmas Mystery in Venice and Other Winter Tales : 3 Short Stories (The Homeswappers)A Christmas Mystery in Venice and Other Winter Tales : 3 Short Stories by Adriana Licio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A delightful collection of three short stories featuring the basset hound, Leon and his to bipeds: Dora and Etta. Each setting was charming and distinctive, and each story intriguing and a bit finger nail biting. A great collection. A light holiday read!

Lyn Reviews Richard Houston’s A View to Die For

booksbylyncote.com Posted on by

 

A View to Die For (To Die For #1)A View to Die For by Richard Houston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I hadn’t realized that I had read two other books in the “to die for” series. The cover is dominated by a large, shaggy dog, not like the Disney classic, just a big furry canine. Anyway, that’s Fred who does not have a point of view and it’s just a big, lovable pet. The cast of characters are definitely not the kind of people I usually hang around with, and I had sympathy for the hero, amateur detective, since he WAS able to think logically. I understood why he moved away from his family! Anyway, very twisty Turny plot with plenty of red herrings, and a fun dog!
