I just wrote a brief review for Amazon; I so appreciate it when people review my books and always try to review what I’ve bought too.
Having waited nine years for a new CD, I’m delighted to say that it really was worth the wait! If you ever liked the Mavericks, then you will love ‘In Time’, 14 brilliant songs written and produced by Raul Malo, the charismatic lead singer. Since the Mavericks last CDs, Raul has had a successful solo career, but I’m thrilled that he has reunited with Robert Reynolds, Paul Deakin, Eddie Perez and Jerry Dale McFadden to produce ‘In Time’. Just the sound of it is amazing, powerful, strong, and with terrific depth provided by the accordion of Michael Guerra and other guest musicians such as Al Anderson, Jay Weaver, Jamie Hannna and Seth Walker.
Many of the songs are instantly recognizable as Mavericks numbers, but that does not detract from their quality nor their originality; I like songs with narrative, and this is what you get, each one tells a story and just glancing at the titles will give you an insight into the sort of thing you are going to enjoy.
If you are a fan of the Mavs, then you have to buy this CD; if you have never heard of them, buy it and be prepared to have a unique musical experience… and then go and explore their back catalogue!

I am a writer living in the west of England, presently editing my three short novels for reluctant readers ready for publication.
My latest novel "Night Vision", is about Neil and Beulah Cameron, who find their marriage on the edge of breakdown, caused by Neil's unfounded jealousy of Beulah's best friend. However, their attempt to start again is undermined when Beulah finds Neil has a strange and dark side and many secrets of his own, maybe connected with his long dead brother and a missing girl.
"Loving Judah" is a story of love, loss, betrayal and hope;. Aislin McManus is devastated by the death of Judah, her stepson. The tragedy, which should have brought her closer to her husband, is driving them apart... Then Aislin finds a lost stranger...
"The Stalking of Rosa Czekov", is about an ordinary person who through an extraordinary act of courage brings herself to the attention of a dangerous stalker. Rosa's cousin, Tyche is determined to bring the stalker to justice, putting her own life at risk.
"Farholm", is a gripping story of a woman's search to find the truth about her husband on Farholm Island, risking death to uncover the lies he told her.
You can find my novels on Amazon as e-books.
I hope my blog will engage you with my other interests, music, family history and food... Most of all I hope you engage with my writing and my thoughts on the process... at least on my process!!
Bravo Lois!
Thank you, Jordana! I’v so much more to say but I thought brevity was called for here so I tried to be pithy! Which is your favourite track?
