Here's my choice for this week!


 The Queen's Pardon
 (Alexis Carew, Book 6)
J.A. Sutherland
Kindle Edition, 349  pages
    October 29, 2018 
Science Fiction

Allies and enemies are not always what they seem.

Trapped on a hostile world, hunted by pirate bands and abandoned by her fellow captains, Alexis Carew must lead her small band to safety, even though it seems every hand is set against her. Stalked by pirates in the skies above and shadowy, alien figures on the planet below, Alexis must convince former enemies to trust her even as she discovers where the tendrils of her true enemies lead.






 Why I can't wait for this one!

That cover grabbed my attention RIGHT AWAY!! 
Then, of course, I read the plot synopsis, and was totally blown away! A kick-butt female protagonist? Space pirates? WOWZA!! I'm in!! 
The only thing that would make my joy complete
is if these books were released in print.... 



Be sure to catch the Alexis Carew
series right HERE!









J.A. Sutherland spends his time sailing the Bahamas on a 43' 1925 John G. Alden sailboat called Little Bit ...

Yeah ... no. In his dreams.

Reality is a townhouse in Orlando, Florida, with a 90- pound husky-wolf mix who won't let him take naps.

When not reading or writing, he spends his time on roadtrips around the Southeast US searching for good barbecue.

What do you think of my
choice this week?

    1. Hi, Sarah!

      I have just discovered this series, and am VERY excited about it!! The down side is that it's SIX books in! (Although I'm pretty sure there's a seventh book on Goodreads, which I saw last night. Yikes!)

      Glad you're interested in this series, too!! But hey, with a kick-butt female protagonist and space pirates, of COURSE you would be!!

      Thanks for commenting!! CHEERS!!! <3 :)

  4. I see that this is the sixth book in the series. I am a stickler for reading series in order so I would want to read the earlier books first. It does sound like an interesting series.

    1. Hi, Brian!

      Yeah, I'm the same way..... but someday, somehow, I'll get to the first book in this series! Lol. I would LOVE to have these books in print, but I AM running out of shelf space....lol.

      And yes, it's DEFINITELY an interesting series!!

    1. Hi, Verushka!

      It all depends on how much background information a writer carries over from the previous books. Some authors don't carry that much information over, and some do. Regardless, I'm with you -- I'd like to jump right into this one! Lol. (Normally, I'd prefer to start with Book 1.)

      Thanks for commenting!! <3 :)

  6. So this is book 6? While it sounds interesting, I'm afraid that's almost too far for me to go back. Hope you get a chance to grab it. Booker T and Cass send their best WOOF WOOF and Booker T is fully healed from his surgery and ready to take on the world!

    1. Hi Barb!

      Yup! I sure know how to pick books righ smack in the middle -- or further along -- of a series, right? LOL.

      I would, of course, much prefer to start with Book 1, but this one looks SO FREAKING GOOD, I might be tempted to start with it!! Lol. I mean, a kick-butt female protagonists, and SPACE PIRATES?! WOWZA!!! Bring 'em on!! :)

      I'm SO glad that Book is fully healed from his surgery!! He'll soon be back to posting on "Can't Wait Wednesday", right along with Cass, right? Looking forward to that!! :) :) :)

      Thanks for commenting!! BIG HUGGLES TO YOU AND THE BOYS!!! AND "WOOF, WOOF" TO THEM, AS ALWAYS!!! <3 <3 ,3 :) :) :)
