Review

Do bad guys make good books?

You know he is somewhere out there. Your soul mate. Your other self. All you need to do is find him and you'll feel complete the way you've never felt complete before...

Except that finding him is strictly forbidden.
Finding him would break the Seventh Taboo.

And then, one night, you meet him. Every hormone and every cell in your body shouts that he's the lost half of yourself you've been searching for. Your logic disagrees. Which are you going to believe? The primeval instinct or your training? Your heart or your mind?

To what lengths will you go, what risks will you take, to prove to yourself that he is the one?

"A brilliant story! I want more!

Nalini Singh,

New York Times Bestselling Author

of Hostage to Pleasure

 

"The Seventh Taboo is a sweet quickie."

Erato

The most up-to-date Poetry Collection

Pipers Ash, September 2007

ISBN: 1904494811

 

This book consists of four earlier collections of poetry by Yvonne Eve Walus:

·        The Pillow Book

·        Love Kills

·        NOT Porn

·        Exposed

 

A collection of free-form free-mind free-word poetry.  Created by a woman for women… and for men who want to understand us.  Enter our minds, if you dare.

The poems use innuendoes and shadows to play with your mind…

… Because the mind is the sexiest part of the body.

Excerpt from Erato:

 

grotesque fairytales, 101

 

once upon a time

in a land far far away

lived a princess

in a fort-like castle

made of her heart

 

one fateful day

a Pinocchio of a man

stormed the fort-like heart

and they were married

(to make it a virtuous story)

 

the princess liked

his lying nose

his donkey ears

but best of all

she liked his wooden soul

 

all princesses fall for that, my baby,

and so you'll make the mistake

when you grow up one day

one fateful day

in a land far far away

 

now sleep

My short story (Murder in the Air) in "Making Changes"

Interview with the Dragon - July 2007 e-Book Spotlight

Echelon Press, July 2007

ISBN:1-59080-574-7

 

Humans have feared dragons since the beginning of time. When a journalist visits a dragon imprisoned for theft, she’s in for a surprise. This dragon is well spoken, has a slightly different take on the human behaviour, and feels that dragons have been persecuted long enough.

 

"Witty dialogue and slightly different take on dragons make this an interesting insight into a dragon’s point of view. ... A well written and believable tale, about an extinct species that joined the Dodo after St George bravely did his knightly duty killing the last of the species."  -- Pam Slade,

 

"A... tightly-plotted story; a fun take on what the modern dragon might have turned out to be. The reader is not left terrified of a future with dragons in it, which is perhaps a pity." --Liz Simmonds

Small Price To Pay

Echelon Press, 12 February 2007

ISBN 1-59080-536-4

When a woman overhears her husband planning a tryst with his lover, it isn't his infidelity that sets her on a course to rediscovery, but a simple comment, not meant for her ears…"She's too vain to have an affair when she's fat." In that moment, she decides to take her life back…regardless of the price!

"Small Price to Pay" by Yvonne Walus is a real romp!  Loads of fun, and an absolutely witty take on the meanings of revenge and pleasure.  Yvonne turns the conventions upside-down to make a wonderfully entertaining read! "

~Heather S. Ingemar (http://catharsys.webs.com), the author of "Darkness Cornered", Echelon Press

 

"Ms Walus has taken fiction to yet another entertaining level with this short story"... You can find another fabulous review from Coffee Time Romance here.

"Murder @ A Little Bead Shop"

ISBN: 1-59080-499-6

 

Suzan Aileen Cottrell loves working in a bead shop. She also loves her other job: breaking into banks (electronically) and being paid by the bank bosses to do it. Her life gets busy when mysterious incidents begin disrupting the comfortable routine in the Little Bead Shop. To add to Susan's load, her daughter's marital life needs cyber rescuing and her own love life is in danger of revival ....

Excerpt:

I fixed myself a cup of hot chocolate, and drank it at the computer as I waited, even though I have this strict rule about no food and drink around the machine. Still, at times, rules are made to be circumvented....

Born2LiveLife: Ok, I'm back.

Suz: What happened?

Born2LiveLife: One of the firewalls was trickier than anticipated.

Suz: Need any help?

Born2LiveLife: Not with the firewall, no. I'm in all right now, it just took a bit of tweaking. Tell me how to fix my marriage though.

... a delightful short story, with enough twists and turns to please any murder / mystery reader.... ~ Pam, Love Romances and More

 

As the story developed, the characters revealed more complexity than was first apparent.  The story reminded me of Hitchcock with its twists and turns and unexpected ending. -- Carolyn Williamson

Atlantic, Pacific, Indian - The Three Oceans

Pipers Ash, September 2006

ISBN: 1-904409470-6

A collection of modern short stories grouped by their geographic location: Europe, Africa, Australasia, North Pole. Visit post-communist Russia and communist Poland, see South Africa during its transition phase out of apartheid, or relax on Tahiti while struggling with a moral issue of whether or not to return a wallet full of cash - the choice is yours when you read this book.

"I took it away with me to our beach house and surprise, surprise, my husband started reading it. He only ever reads books on how to play golf or how to build houses and Scriptures so I was quite surprised when "he couldn't put it down". He especially enjoyed the first story (Skin Traders) and commented that you kept him guessing with every story. " -- Carole Hawkins

Published by Pipers Ash, 2006

ISBN-10: 1904494722

ISBN-13: 978-1904494720

 

Reviewed by Sue Vassen

This is a collection of 57 poems composed during a four-year period in which the author, despite the arrival of two babies, took part in an online poetry workshop called Word Expo. Each workshop listed prescribed words and every poem needed to use at least three. Following this system my writer's weekly meeting had a lot of fun, composed our own poems and will continue to do so. What could be better than 57 poems, and their trigger words to get you going in a dry time/

The poet emerges as a girl who will try anything just to get the poem down; there is no writerly pride or stuffiness. There's a poem per page and a green ribbon bookmark to match the dark green cover.
