About Yesterday’s News:
Antiques can be a dangerous business. Especially when you’re dealing
with a desperate politician, a sexy ex-cop, and a couple of “spirited”
companions.
Anna Yesterday owns Yesterday’s Antiques in small town USA. When she finds an old newspaper clipping lining the drawer of an antique dresser, she realizes she’s never heard the horrible story of rape and suicide detailed on the yellowed newsprint. So she starts to dig, and her sleuthing exposes an ugly cover-up that casts the residents of Crocker, Indiana into danger and intrigue, and leaves them with a corpse.
About Sam Cheever:
Award winning author Sam Cheever mixes in a little fun, a little magic, and a little real-life spice to create her sexy fictional characters. Sam’s fun-loving creations fight their way through a dizzying array of dangerous challenges without letting little things like dangerous bad guys, angry, manipulative gods, evil dark world denizens, or killing Furies dampen their zest for life and hot love!
In her real life, Sam lives on a hobby farm in Indiana with 11 dogs, 2
horses, 1 barn cat, and one husband. Not necessarily in that order.
When asked why, why, why on the 11 dogs (yes, they all live in the
house!), Sam simply shrugs and says she’s stupid. But what she really
means to say is that she’s a dog-aholic. She of course can’t be blamed
for her addiction. She is a victim. And along those lines, if anyone
knows of a support group for this addiction please write Sam at
samcheever@samcheever.com and fill her in.

Reader review . . .
When Anna pries open a drawer on an antique dresser in her store, she finds an old newspaper clipping telling of a horrible crime. Realizing that there must have been a cover-up in her small hometown of Crocker, Indiana, she, with the help of her sexy assistant Pratt, begins to investigate the decades-old story. But someone in Crocker doesn't want the truth told.......
As a rule, I'm not usually a fan of "ghost stories" (with the exception of Aunt Dimity), so when Joss and Bess first made their appearance in the story, I almost stopped reading. However, the characters were so engaging that I could not stop reading. With the setting of the novel being an antique store, it is fitting to have an unsolved mystery from decades before. As this is the first of the series, hopefully we will learn more of the back stories of not only Joss and Bess, but also of Anna and Pratt.
3.5 stars

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my book.
I loved both of them. I think the review has finally shown up on the "Threads of Yesterday" post. They were both great!
