Specrtral Evidence by Eileen Charbonneau and Jude Pitman.

 Five out of Five stars review for Spectral Evidence by Eileen Charbonneau and Jude Pitman.   Until I read Spectral Evidence by talented novelists Eileen Charbonneau and Jude Pitman, I did not know what the title meant. A definition of it   is “evidence based on the dreams and visions of the accuser.” During the Salem Witch Trials that I knew little about, “it was testimony entered into the court record by witnesses, who testified that a specter spirit came to them in a dream and caused harm to them.” Eileen and Jude draw their readers back to colonists in Newfoundland, who, in 1692,     wanted to stay out of Old World politics. When war was declared between France and England they feared the might of the French navy. Events are experienced through seventeen-year-old Charlotte Jaddore whose Mi’kmaq and Beothuk grandmothers taught her ‘sacred healing arts.’ Will she help her father to save their prosperous American relatives arrested after neighbours acc...

Girls Succeed, Inspirational for Girls 9 Years Onward

  When I was a child, my mother told me if I worked hard and overcame any obstacles   my dreams would  come true. In this inspirational book, Girls Succeed, Ms Rose reveals the stories behind successful career women. Women who turned their dreams into reality. She traces sixteen women’s paths to their achievements.   The women have diverse occupations. I bought a copy for my granddaughter to read about a top competitor in dressage, horse trainer and teacher, a national and world cyclist, and a Gold Medallist ice hockey player.

A children’s picture book artist and author, a clown, a social worker among others, and a devout woman, who followed her calling to Christian ministry. I don’t hesitate to recommend the book for girls from eight years old onward. It will give them confidence and show them ...

Rocky Path to Novelist's Successful Publication

  Rocky Path to Publication by Novelist, Rosemary Morris.   Many people daydream about what they would like to accomplish. I am fortunate because my dream of becoming a published historical novelist has come true. Looking back, it seems that since childhood I prepared to share my tales of times past. Maybe, while I was in my cot, a good fairy blessed me with a vivid imagination. If so, it was too lively for my parents, who couldn’t relate to it. They wanted a child with her feet firmly planted on the ground. Instead, my head was either filled with history, make-believe people, or the book I was reading.   So many obstacles intervened between my dream and reality. I have three very painful memories connected with writing and reading. The first, is my mother’s refusal to give me some paper on which to write a story when I was ten years old. The second is of borrowing a book every day from the library, and the librarian’s doubt that I had read all of them. The third ...
