Book Review by Tammy R. Phillips
Author Sabine Keevil proves that she is a woman who knows
how to bring fantasies to life with simple words printed
on a page. Combining her natural ability to tell a good
story with a touch of mystery, suspense, and romance, her
latest book release, Long Way Home, becomes a novel that
is hard to put down.
In Long Way Home, the followup to the previously
released Guitars & Cadillacs, Keevil shares the story
of record company heiress Victoria Masters and bad boy rock
star Calder McKnight, known more commonly to his fans as
the "Dark Knight." Masters arrives in Nashville
to clean up a publicity nightmare caused by McKnight's band,
Knight Rider, while McKnight comes to town with the intentions
of trying to salvage his career.
Before a face-to-face meeting has time to
take place, however, both find themselves in a different
kind of meeting at a local park. Calder doesn't realize
the cute new girl he's met is the head honcho who has just
released him from his recording contract, and Victoria doesn't
realize the simple cowboy who caught her eye is actually
the infamous "Dark Knight" without his normal
stage attire.
The twists and turns are many, but the end
result is a deep and abiding love found when least expected.
For a little background information on the
author, Sabine wrote her first novel when she was only 14
years old. She adds that she has had stories and characters
running around in her mind for as long as she can remember.
"I've never been at a loss for ideas," Keevil
commented in a recent interview. "On the contrary,
they're crowding my mind, fighting for space. Sometimes
it's a song that makes you wonder what kind of a story could
be behind it, a newspaper article, a comment I overhear.
Anything. Writers play a constant game of 'what if' –
what if this happened or that, and we take it from there."
The theme of country music in her SoundMaster
Romance Series comes from a lifetime of enjoying music.
"I'm definitely a country music fan foremost,"
she has said, "and that's what my radio is tuned to
on any given day, but I'm also open to listening to all
kinds of different music and to be influenced by it –
from opera to rock-n-roll. If you were to look through my
admittedly vast CD collection, you'd find everything from
Abba to ZZ top to Sinatra and James Last. And, of course,
a huge country collection."
Due to her ability to relate to country fans,
readers are certain to enjoy the "ultimate fantasy,"
as she has labeled it, of being swept away into a world
where dreams really do come true. Both books, Long Way Home
and the first in the series Guitars & Cadillacs, are
available at www.thinkingdogpublishing.com (link below).
If you're looking to escape into a world of romance the
downhome southern way, Sabine Keevil is the author to take
you away.
