Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie She’s Dead has a title that just draws your attention. And the book lives up to its fun title. There’s magic and quirky characters and lots of humor. I loved Mara’s voice – humoristic and a little sarcastic. Aside from that, there’s also an intriguing plot, especially in the second part of the book when the mystery-part really kicks off. And we end with a thrilling bang. All in all, a fun read and a good start to a series I will definitely be keeping my eye on. Recommended for those that like paranormal humoristic stories with a suspense twist.

Dear Samantha,
Sorry to approach you using your comments, but I could find no email address to send this to.
I know your time is limited and have to be very selective in the books you review, but I would count myself very lucky if you considered my book A Soul's Calling for review on your website.
A Soul’s Calling is a memoir about a man who listened to his heart instead of reason. The book, a work of speculative non-fiction, is part travelogue, part hiking adventure, with shamanism and magic woven throughout.
A Soul’s Calling transports readers to Nepal's rugged but enchanting Khumbu Valley where mountains speak and nature is imbued with a special kind of magic. The novel is an inspiring modern day adventure that weaves the timeless themes of living an authentic life, the consequences of power, and what a man would do for unrequited love.
Scott, a forty-something attorney, is average in every way except one. He has a connection to the Other Side. He speaks to Spirit and Spirit speaks to him. He sees, hears, and interacts with an invisible realm that is beyond ordinary human perception. When Scott learns his soul has been spiritually compromised he travels to the ancient kingdom of Nepal to win it back. Once there, he hikes the Himalaya carrying a mysterious bundle and a stick laden with prayers from Luminous Beings hoping to come face to face with the greatest mountain on earth: Mount Everest. As his journey unfolds, Scott is called on to battle his fear of heights, the thin air, and his physical limitations. Powerful, sweeping, and deeply moving, readers will search their hearts as the book draws to a stunning conclusion.
If this sounds appealing, I would be happy to provide you with a Kindle copy through Amazon. To read an excerpt from the book, please visit www.scott-bishop.com or you can view it using Amazon's Look Inside feature here:
