Daydream's Daughter, Nightmare's Friend: One Woman's Journey Through Two Hells by Nonnie Jules

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Daydream’s Daughter, Nightmare’s Friend by Nonnie Jules opens with a shooting. A teenage girl appears to have pulled the trigger. What would lead an outwardly normal, well-adjusted girl to shoot the primary breadwinner in a home stricken with poverty? Author Jules lures the reader in, sparing few details in this dark read. Think Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison for these modern times.


Maiya’s mother is a physically abusive alcoholic with little patience for her daughter (one of seven children fathered by several different men). Bad things happen, which leads to unimaginable and awful secrets far too heavy for a young girl to be forced to bear.


Maiya does have allies in her corner: a godmother who helps the girl deal with the consequences of abuse; a best friend, Charlotte, who wants to shield Maiya from the horrible realities in her corner of the world; loving grandparents who try to do what they feel is right by their granddaughter; and others who drift into her life at various times. But this story is about Maiya, about her struggle for a normal life, about one girl who seeks triumph in the face of certain defeat.


Nonnie Jules has proven herself a skilled storyteller of the first order. As far as debut novels go, this one ranks high on my list. There are some sexually explicit scenes, so this is not a novel for the youngsters. But for those who enjoy a good, solid story, Daydream’s Daughter, Nightmare’s Friend is one you’ll want to read.

So you’ve written the next great novel, put in the time and effort to get the manuscript polished to a high sheen, and spent untold amounts of money to get your masterpiece edited and published. It’s there on Amazon for everybody in the world to buy, read, and review—if only they knew the book exists! Sure, you’ve tweeted about it, posted short blurbs on Facebook, joined amazing author sites like Koobug.com and Goodreads. Maybe you’ve even spent a little extra money to have a web site set up. Is this enough? Are there other things an author can do to push sales closer to something resembling respectable?

Have you considered joining a book club? I don’t mean your grandmother’s book club, either. I’m talking about the Rave Reviews Book Club.

“Rave Reviews Book Club,” you wonder. “What exactly is Rave Reviews Book Club?”

I’m glad you asked. Rave Reviews Book Club is a unique group of authors and readers joined together by a desire to help lift the indie publishing industry to new heights. Let’s face it, there are many amazingly talented authors whose work is languishing on the e-shelves of Amazon.com, Smashwords, Barnes&Noble, and other internet outlets, never to be read or even acknowledged.

This is where Rave Reviews Book Club comes into play. It’s a simple concept, really, one designed to benefit member authors. Here’s how it works:

An author joins the club. This author submits the title of his/her book(s). Eventually, this book becomes one of the club’s selected reads. Fellow members purchase copies of the selected book, they read it and post reviews on Amazon.com, Koobug.com, Goodreads, Barnes&Noble, and any other site that accepts book reviews.

The author benefits from sales and reviews. The reader discovers new favorites.

Each member agrees to buy, read, and review at least four (4) of the selections over the course of the year. Think about it; that’s just one book every three (3) months. Easy enough, don’t you think? Promoting indie authors is the primary goal of this growing membership.

Rave Reviews Book Club even offers prize giveaways, Twitter support, and a weekly Author Spotlight blog tour.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, just visit the website for further details on becoming a member yourself.

"If Only There Was Music..." The Poetry of Forbidden Love by Nonnie Jules

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A forbidden dance spelled out in words that spill emotion across the pages. These words become real, palpable, designed to yank the reader into the very world in which the two participants live. "If Only There Was Music" is a poetic back and forth between individuals who find themselves entangled in feelings that, on the surface, should not exist, should not even be considered. But here they are, drawn to one another when they should not be. It's a situation in which many have found themselves. One cannot help to whom one is attracted. It's just a simple fact of life. There is a vivid sensuality within the forbidden. It is human emotion at its rawest level. The authors capture it and put it on display for all to witness. I am a fan of well-written poetry. This collection fits that bill.
