For anyone who doesn’t know, I am the Vice President of the Big Honkin’ Chickens Club. Deborah Raney is President. Members of the BHCC are too afraid to read suspense books by Brandilyn Collins. (I read one once and had nightmares for the next week.) For anonymous readers, not reading suspense is not a problem. What they don’t read is not Ms. Collins’ concern because she doesn’t know who they are. However, I am a friend of Brandilyn’s, and her friends don’t get off so easily. She even dedicated a book to Deb Raney and me. I think that one was about spiders. {{shudder}}
The fact that I am an officer in the BHCC, and yet Brandilyn still calls me a friend and has had me as a guest in her home should tell you what a forgiving soul she is. And so, although I cannot read her books myself because I am a chicken, I can happily recommend her books to others. She is a great writer. Trust me on this.
Brandilyn Collins is the bestselling author of Violet Dawn, Web Of Lies, Dead of Night, Stain of Guilt, Brink of Death, and Eyes of Elisha, just to name a few.
Brandilyn and her family divide their time between the California Bay Area and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. She also maintains an informative blog called Forensics and Faith where she daily dispenses wisdom on writing, life, and the Christian book industry.
The figure remained still as stone. Leslie couldn’t even detect a breath.
Spider fingers teased the back of her neck.
Leslie’s
feet rooted to the pavement. She dropped her gaze to the driveway,
seeking…what? Spatters of blood? Footprints? She saw nothing. Honed
through her recent coverage of crime scene evidence, the testimony as
last month’s trial, the reporter in Leslie spewed warnings: Notice
everything, touch nothing…
Leslie Brymes hurries out to her car on a typical workday morning…and discovers a dead body inside.
Why was the corpse left for her to find? And what is the meaning of the message pinned to its chest?
In Coral Moon,
the senseless murder of a beloved Kanner Lake citizen spirals the small
Idaho town into a terrifying glimpse of spiritual forces beyond our
world. What appears true seems impossible.
OR IS IT?

Don’t miss Coral Moon by Brandilyn Collins.

VP in good standing of the Big Honkin’ Chicken Club
As VP of BHCC you should limber up your scared-stiff fingers. You mispelled the title of Coral Moon.
LOL, Sue! I wondered about the spelling, but was too scared to look at the cover to see if Robin got it right or not. In spite of my utter fear of BC’s novels (I DID read Eyes of Elisha and gained 10 pounds as a result, since I could no longer walk on the walking path in our town because it was exactly like the one where the body was found in EoE.) But I do agree with Robin that BC can flat WRITE! And if you’re eligible for the BHCC, please do NOT let that stop you from reading Brandilyn’s wonderful women’s fiction – the Bradleyville Series. Frankly, I’m glad she’s not writing women’s fiction any more. Robin and I don’t need the competition…right, Robin? ; )
Sue, you must have been writing your comment at the same moment I was correcting all of the Corals in my post because there were no comments when I went to fix the errors. I used Corel’s WordPerfect for over 15 years, and I guess my fingers just did their own thing. At least my head knew that Coral was the correct spelling.
Madam President Deb, it was Eyes of Elisha that scared me so bad, too. Yikes! And yes, I’m thankful Brandilyn is happily writing suspense.
Robin
Deb and Robin, you know I love ya both. And yes, I am such a forgiving soul. But I’d send ya both five pounds of chocolate–your choice of brand–if you’d read Web of Lies–the BOOK I SO THOUGHTFULLY, GRACIOUSLY, CONSIDERATELY AND WITH ABSOLUTELY NO TEASING INTENT OR ILL WILL–dedicated to both of you.
Heh-heh.
LOL! Both, or each? Throw in half pound of fine coffee and you’ve got yourself a deal, Missy B. (I’ll suffer a lot for chocolate and coffee…and phooey on the caffeine, since I’ll be WIDE awake anyway. Will there be a quiz?? How will you know we truly read it? ; ) But I’m up for the challenge! Robin? And I’m thinkin’ DeBrand’s. I always hear Colleen Coble and her buds over at Girls Write Out raving about it. Ooooh! This is fun! : )
Okay, I’m pulling my book off the shelf where it’s sat for two years, wrapped in brown paper. ; )
Girls, girls! I haven’t made it through Violet Dawn yet, though I HAVE tried. And I MAY try again. However, I did recently read Deb Raney’s “Remember to Forget.” The ending scared me so much you’d have thought I’d just trembled through a Brandilyn book!!! When I told Deb, she acted mighty proud of herself. 🙂
Wow! I love Brandilyn’s books. I’ve noticed since I’ve started getting older, like the past four or five years, my reading tastes have changed. I read more suspenseful books like Brandilyn’s than my usual romance and women’s fiction fare. Don’t understand the change, but I’m truly enjoying reading Brandilyn’s scary novels!
