Just for Readers

E-publishing, like all publishing, varies in quality. For those looking for a fresh romance, here's a winner.

Linda Laroque's debut novel, When the Ocotillo Bloom ,which was released by www.wingsepress.com in February, is very well done.

Ms.Larouque penned a story full of people I'd love to meet and animals so real they made me remember what it's like to bond with a horse or a dog.

Her story is unusual in several respects. It is sweet without being cloying, there are with grown-up conflicts, and realistic resolutions. The story is set on Texas ranch, where the cowboys actually ride horses, and give troubled kids skills for coping with real life.
