POSITIVE REVIEW. The following review just reached us from Mr. Dan Hays, Book Reviewer to Salem, Oregon's Statesman Journal:
It is perhaps unlikely that a publisher specializing in romance novels would be based in a small Eastern Oregon town. But unlikely or not, that is exactly where Black Lyon Publishing is located. Evidently it is a particularly fitting place to be, because virtually all their books are superior examples of their genre. Their latest is From the Dust, a work of depth and genuine sentiment from a Canadian author [Ryshia Kennie.]
The opening paragraph of the novel is not what one would normally expect from a romance. It reads: “He died with liquor on his breath and poison in his soul. Doc MacPherson claimed that between the alcohol and the arsenic there were enough chemicals in his body to keep him pickled to the second coming.”
The time is 1935 and the setting is remote Saskatchewan. The central character is a woman of achievement who has left all that behind, an intelligent woman who has been reduced to the essentials, and is ready to fight to keep what little she has.
Rich in period detail and full of nicely-drawn characters, From the Dust is a solid romance that also has a good deal to offer to those who don’t normally read romances. Romance lovers would also do well to seek out other Black Lyon titles…including one by its Publisher, Kerry A. Jones. Orion in the Winter Sky is just as fulfilling and intriguing as its title would suggest, as is Jones’ Cast in Stone.

The rest remain steamy.
