Dark Streets Shineth, a Christmas murder mystery
Dark Streets Shineth, a Say a Prayer whodunit
Clare Revell
PBGroup Holiday Extravaganza novella, December 1, 2020, 102 pp
Barnes and Noble
Ebook Currently on sale for 99 cents
YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT. YOU'D BETTER NOT CRY. SANTA CLAUS IS GOING TO DIE...DCI Boaz Matthias isn't a Christmas person. He never has been. Not since he discovered the truth when he was seven. Christmas is a lie and a con and nothing is ever going to change his mind. Being given a temporary six week assignment isn't helping his mood either—as it means Christmas with the family. Only good thing is the accidental meeting of someone he thinks he could grow very fond of.
DC Isabel York loves Christmas. So much so that she decorates her desk with lights, tinsel, and a novelty advent calendar. When her boss is called away, his replacement is the last person she's expecting to see—her fledgling boyfriend.
In the middle of a nasty case, Isabel is nevertheless determined to show Boaz the real meaning of Christmas. The only problem is that work and pleasure just don't mix—at least not according to him.
I loved these characters throughout the Say a Prayer series. They’re intentional short segments of murder investigations at a particular police station in England. They are well-researched and populated with all-too-real people. Isabel hasn’t been a DC all that long, but her intuition and ability to connects dots has had other officers in her department…shall we say jealous? While most of the problem people were shifted around to other departments or fired, a few officers are still afraid of her and try to make her life miserable. Things get a little worse when their favorite boss has a family emergency and the temp is a grinch. Not just a grinch but the fellow who Isabel had started dating prior to his new assignment. The new temp, Boaz, walks in on an already-in-progress murder investigation. Someone is killing store Santas, and as it’s Isabel’s case, she’s in charge, much to the chagrin of the remaining problem parties in the department. Isabel’s got a lot to deal with this Christmas amid a boyfriend who hates her favorite time of year, numbskulls who whine at work even as Isabel continues to develop her self-confidence on the job, and a morgue filling up with bodies. Where can a person find a cup of Christmas cheer with all this mayhem?
Clare is a British author. She lives in a small town in England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, and her three children. Writing from a early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fanfiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make.
Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American, the books contain British language and terminology. The first draft of every novel is hand written.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars.

About the Book
Novelist Olivia St. Madeleine is intrigued by a handsome and
mysterious stranger she sees when she's Christmas shopping. Who exactly is he,
and what is his story?
Gabriel Winter definitely has a story. One he's been running from for years.
He's renovating a house next door to a friendly and persuasive grandmother, who
is, unbeknownst to him, Olivia's Nana. Through Nana's insistence, Liv helps
Gabe wallpaper and paint, and in return Gabe fulfills one of Liv's secret
childhood dreams.
But past hurts and secrets threaten to drive them apart rather than draw them
together. Will they find the courage to share their secrets with each other and
with God, and allow Him to redeem Christmas?
I adore a little bit of reality check in my romantic
fiction. And not mincing situational reality with saccharine. We’re all broken—all
of us—and we know it. How we face it shows our true character. This author
knows how to pack a lovely punch in a short story. Like your good reads in
little bites around the holidays? Redeeming Christmas is a perfect fit.
Streams in the Wasteland, Redemptive Romance by Carol James:
Carol is an author of inspirational fiction. She lives in Lilburn, Georgia, a
small town outside of Atlanta, with her husband, Jim, and a perky Jack Russell
"Terrorist," Zoe.

Love Stumbled In with Nancy Bolton
Inspirational Romance from Prism Lux, November 13, 2020
172 pp
About the Book:
In the years of World War I and the flu epidemic that followed, American
society and its people underwent profound changes. Carrie and her adopted
family are not spared these changes and tragedies, yet what can they do but
continue on the best way they can? As Carrie comes of age, she is faced with a
future very different than the one she hoped for. She gave her heart, only to
have it returned back to her and now she must search herself to find a new
direction or give in to the temptation to simply give up and let circumstances
dictate her life.
Judd
has spent his young adult years coping with the aftermath of war injuries and
profound family losses. With no time to grieve or recover, he is thrust into
the role of family head and pours himself into steering his brothers and Carrie
to adulthood while also seeing to the needs of the family farm. Like Carrie,
his losses have caused him to grow cold towards God, leaning only on himself to
bear the weight of his responsibilities. The pressure has forged a resolute
hardness in him and an unwillingness to be close to anyone. The life journey of
both is in need of new direction, if they will choose to take a chance and step
toward it.
Enjoy this Excerpt:
Her mind wandered back to days spent with Mama, watching her cook, and sharing the small triumphs while she learned. Memories warmed her and loosened her tongue. “I wish she could know how good I am at it now. With her gift for pies and cake, and mine for bread, maybe we could’ve run a bakery together. That would’ve been wonderful.”
Lucas
rumbled out an indeterminate sound. “Two women running a bakery? Never heard of
that.”
Carrie’s
wistful, nostalgic mood shattered. How backward. Was Jesse the only man in this
family with any foresight?
Quenching
a sharp retort, she kept her voice airy. “It’s the twentieth century, in case
you forgot. Women can do pretty much anything these days. Vote, get a job. Why,
I read a story the other day about women policemen in California.”
Lucas sputtered out a laugh. “You just called them policemen. Wouldn’t they be policewomen?”
She scowled at his smirking expression. “Ha-ha. You know what I mean.”
About Nancy: Nancy Shew Bolton is a wife, mother of five grown sons, and grandmother to a boy and girl. Ever since she learned to write, she would jot down her thoughts and impressions in little snippets of inspiration in the form of poetry, song lyrics, or short essays.
