“Hell Hath No Fury Like A Drag Queen Scorned!”

No, ‘The Pink Canary’ is not an English play – although if the great playwright, William Congreve, could be here today, and was given a chance to read ‘The Pink Canary’ by Yvonne Mason, ‘Hell Hath No Fury Like A Drag Queen Scorned’ just might be the title of his next winning play – based on Yvonne Mason’s new book of course, ‘The Pink Canary’.

I have read several of, Yvonne Mason’s literary works but I must say this piece is unique – exceptional in the fact that she waved her magic pencil like a wand – created a fresh storyline that includes some of her most outstanding characters to date.

As the story begins, it takes you on a roller coaster ride from New York to Miami. Imagine for a moment that a serial killer is loose in Miami, and he or she, is targeting Drag queens – accumulating body parts as trophies. An ex-private detective, now headliner and owner of the hottest drag queen establishment in Miami, teams up with a homophobic detective to try to solve the case. Add in ‘one’ badass drag queen toting a can of aqua net hairspray in one hand and a pair of Chinese hooker heals in the other – well, things are going to get ugly very quick!

I gave ‘The Pink Canary’ five stars for originality, delightful humor, and crime fighting suspense!

"Blood Alley" by Yvonne Mason - “Hair Raising – Bloodthirsty – Entertainment!

‘Blood Alley,’ by Yvonne Mason, is a terrifying short story that is unforgettable! The author skillfully weaves a mixture of horror and suspense. Her depiction of the characters and their surroundings are quite chilling. I thought I knew a little about what was in store for me getting into this book, as I have read Mason’s previous work – I was not disappointed! She originates the plot of the story using familiar surroundings and a cast of colorful characters. However, beware – after reading, you will have a second thought before stopping at a truck stop diner, taking an unfamiliar route to get to your destination, and even the howling of your four-legged friend will bring on a new meaning!

You definitely want to read all of Yvonne Mason’s chilling stories.

“The Toonies Invade Silicon Valley” is a magical piece of genius”

For anyone who wants to get in touch with their inner child, to experience the utmost adventure into a world where your imagination can run wild and free – ‘The Toonies Invade Silicon Valley’ will take you there and beyond! Davis’s storyline is unique and the characters are adorable.

With each turn of the page, I found myself visualizing the characters and all the while smiling – occasionally wiping away a tear. This story is more than just a gallop through fantasyland, it conveys how important it is to have, and to keep, a close family relationship – to work through the everyday confusion that we all experience.

Jeremy is an imaginative young lad who has created a comic strip like no other, full of colorful characters with exceptional abilities. Problems soon arise when he finds it difficult to ignore his parents sudden bickering at one another. It is at this time that we are introduced to ‘Doog’ – a cartoon character that is so clearly depicted by the writer, I forgot for a moment that he was a doodle. To Jeremy’s astonishment, Doog leaps from the computer screen and into the world of the living, and an instant friendship is born. However, Doog quickly explains that there are those in the cyber world that are not as friendly as he – doodles that want to escape and rule the world. Together with uncle Wom – a wise old doodle of a man, and several other lively characters, they embark on a journey to protect the living against the evil cyber bullies.

The dialogue is delicious and fresh as the story flows with ease. Betty Dravis has created an original, witty, imaginative, and just all out brilliant work of genius. I see an award winning comic strip and movie in the future for this amazing piece of literature – as well as for the creator, Betty Dravis. I have no doubt that children and adults alike will treasure this book, and will want to pass it on to generations.
