Woodland Daughter is released!

After being sick the last week or so, I've missed celebrating the UK release of my Edwardian historical, Woodland Daughter!

This is the first book I've written set in the early Edwardian era of England and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.

Another 'first' for me is writing a book where the heroine is married and a mother at the start of the book, that made a wonderful change for me.

Woodland Daughter is only available in hardback, but it… Continue

Key Lime Squeeze Reviewed by Steven Clark Bradley

Book Review:

Key Lime Squeeze by Ron W. Adams

Author Ron Adams has taken readers into the world of the sleuth with his excellent and crafty new novel, Key Lime Squeeze. Ron is an artful painter with words as he takes the reader into a sinister world that is really not exactly a hard-boiled crime drama and not exactly a story of the mafia, but a fine and adroitly woven tale that is both familiar and unique. It is indeed a book that I found to be riveting and which kept me asking… Continue
