Winifred's Making the News!

June 24, 2009. Nominated for Best Book of the Week at The Long and Short of It. Orange Blossom gives 4 1/2 books, saying: "...Miss Mae certainly knows how to spin a mystery and drop the clues in exactly the right place at the right time... All the characters are so distinct. I could almost hear the intonation of their voices. I definitely had a visual in my head from the word picture presented by the author. Miss Mae is definitely becoming one of my MUST READ authors..."

Thank you, Orange Blossom!

June 4, 2009. Anya of Coffee Time Romance gives Five Cups. She says: "...The book is a clever take on the Holmes/Adler style of mystery. It has ‘who dunnits’, tricky clues, characters that rival the best of the genre. Our heroine, Winifred, is clever and interesting, but not infallible, while Remington is charming and provides the strength for Winifred..."

A Top Read Excellence at WRDF Reviews! Raye Stainel says: "...This was such a wonderfully charming and enjoyable read! I chuckled at the dry wit and pondered the twist and turns of the mystery....While “watching” the development of the very sweet romance between Winifred and Remington, you get to play a game like “Clue,” or even better -- one of those computer games where you have to solve the riddle in one room to get to the next! I had to catch my breath at some spots of danger and I said “ah ha!” as riddles got solved and doors got unlocked! There are surprises galore…in the clues and in the true identities of some of the characters! As Winifred and Remington are thrown together and working out clues, they discover that their fathers have a certain surprising connection that they may have to overcome....I enthusiastically recommend this book for a very fun puzzler and sweet romance!"

Thank you so much, Ms. Stainel. Read her review here.

May 31, 2009 from Linda Morelli of MyShelf.com says:

"... is a tantalizing mystery, one that admirers of Sherlock Holmes will surely love. Each character faces a different ordeal to overcome, tests that kept me on pins and needles as I tried to solve the mysteries along with them. Being a lover of mysteries and romances, I enjoyed the personal challenges confronting Winifred and Remington, due to the ties of their pasts, along with their growing love for each other.

Miss Mae has written an intelligent, suspenseful plot, its various threads expertly intertwined, with a thoroughly satisfying ending. "

"...You know how every now and then you come across one of those great reads that gets you
excited? I had no idea what to expect when I started Miss Mae’s new release which she
graciously awarded me in a guest blog contest. I have one word for the author: Wow.

Dear Winifred is a horseless carriage from page one. My head was spinning by the third
chapter and I couldn’t stop. Talk about a Victorian fun house: revolving rooms, trick mirrors,
and trapdoors, with a cast of characters cleverly plopped onto your Adventure Sundae scoop
by scoop..."

Danielle Thorne, reader and author of The Privateer.

From Val, of YouGottaReadReviews
gives the highest rating of "You Gotta Read". Some quotes: "...Words cannot tell you how
good this book was. I can say I was holding my breath during the action scenes. I can say
my eyes bugged out of my head and my jaw dropped during some scenes but until you read
this book for yourself, you cannot appreciate it as much as I did..."

Thank you, Val! Her review can be read here.
