A Connecticut Christmas A Connecticut Christmas
by Gail Sattler

Gail, I just finished, Snowbound for Christmas. and I loved it. It was such a sweet story, and so easy to read. That is the kind that I like. I couldn't put it down, and it was short enough to finish at one setting. Every year at this time I start looking for Christmas stories to read. I bought 9 books. When I finish them I will be ordering books from your web site. Thanks for making it easy to contact you and get a peek at other books that you have written. I am so glad I found your stories. I also loved the four short stories set by different authors in the same town. Loved is the correct word. This was my first 4 different stories in one town book. I think it is great.
Thanks,
Carol A. Glasscock

A Courtesan's Desires A Courtesan's Desires

Heather Haven - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: A Courtesan's Desires (Kindle Edition) This story pulls you in from the first paragraph. Any tale about a young girl on the threshold of womanhood tossed around by the politics, religion, and social mores of the time is always an intriguing read. A Courtesan's Desires - and yes it can be titillating -- is well-written by an author who knows how to use the turn of a phrase. With only a few words, Ms. Sheffield can create visual images that trigger the emotions in the most jaded of us. She has created a protagonist who is likeable and believable, one you are concerned about and root for all the way. My thought is the novel might be expanded upon and if so, could become a literary piece of no little importance. At 47K plus words, the subject matter and world we are taken to have much more to offer us. However, take what you can get, and going where we go with Ms. Sheffield is a satisfactory journey. This is a very fine story written by an accomplished writer who can weave an exceptional tale.

R. A. Rach "Rosemary Morris" (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: A Courtesan's Desires (Kindle Edition) Killarney Sheffield chose a young Hutterite girl, Rachel Sholis, for her heroine. The Hutterite community, which I had not heard of until I read A Courtesan's Desires, is an offshoot of Anabaptists who, like the Amish and Mennonites, originated in the radical reformation in the 16th century, To find out more about the life of a Hutterite girl, like her heroine, Killarney Sheffield spent a day at Red Willow Hutterite Colony in Stettler, Alberta. Undoubtedly this experience enriches A Courtesan's Desire. Nothing in Rachel's innocent, God-fearing life prepares her for the brutality to follow when she embarks on a ship with her family and other Hutterites to found a new colony overseas. Ship-wrecked she ends up in England in Newgate Prison. After her release is purchased Rachel is trained to be a courtesan, whose only objective is to please men, by her master. I admit I found it difficult to believe that an English Duke, who becomes Rachel's protector, would be connected with the Pinkerton Agency but, as this is crucial to the plot, it did not matter, and neither did a few historical inaccuracies because the story swept me along until I reached the last page and sighed with satisfaction.

5 stars—”A fascinating historical tale”

“This is an interesting medieval romance that uses a late twelfth century setting to tell a tale that in many ways feels contemporary with a sleuthing warrior and a woman hiding from her husband. The story line is fast-paced, but obviously driven by the relationship between the lead couple as he suspects her of thieving and and lying while she prays he proves her love for him is right by protecting Ewan. Catherine Kean writes a fascinating historical tale.”
