5 flags! "This newest volume in the excellent series TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE from the authors of Jewels of the Quill ...romance is the key ingredient, but stirred into the mix are quantities of paranormal, thriller, suspense, humour, comedy, science fiction and futuristic, and Western historical... (offering) food for thought and every reading taste, and (serving) it up with pleasure and a sigh of satisfaction after each story."
~ EuroReviews

4 1/2 stars! "Once again the talented Jewels of the Quill offer a collection of enchanting stories. All the authors give readers what they want--adventure, mystery, romance and a peek into the unknown--and they never fail to entertain."

Reviews:

"This is a fine collection of stories...written by people who know both mystery and the Ozarks heritage...I strongly recommend it."
~ Sara Parker, State Librarian

"...a remarkable congregation of skilled and talented artists with an almost organic connection to the transcendent beauty and exotic secrets of this uniquely American landscape."
~ Loren D. Estleman, author of NICOTINE KISS, and Deborah Moran, author of the Jeff Talbot Antique Lovers' Mysteries.

"The stories vary in length, style, and approach," said [Editor Ellen Gray] Massey. "Some are historical, portraying the ancient Bluff Dwellers and the unique position of Missouri during the Civil War. Others include romance, fantasy, supernatural beings, humor, and adventure. All take place in the Ozarks and have a mystery to solve."

Reviews:
"Mysteries of the Ozarks is a masterfully edgy collection of short stories... Coming from a cultural heritage of storytelling, these authors present gripping and ironic vignettes using very sophisticated literary techniques in the instinctive manner of natural born writers."
Rating: 5 Hearts
Bob Spear for Heartland Reviews

"Spur Award winner Jory Sherman, who leads off, is the best-known contributor, but in my sampling I found borderline horror stories by C.J. Winters ("Missing Pete McGuire") and Shirleen Sando ("The Monster at Peter Bottom Cave") more diverting."

Reviews:
"Other stories, notably those from C.J. Winters, are very short and lightly comic. What they lack in substance, they make up for with cleverness."
~ Three stars, Cindy Harrison, Romantic Times Bookclub
(Anthology, "Beyond the Mundane: Unravelings"):

"...an anthology of mystery and horror stories in the tradition of those wonderful old Alfred Hitchcock books...C.J. Winters provides two overly enigmatic short-shorts, but scores with his [sic] third, the longer tale "How Tough Can It Be?"

Reviews:
"And mice are unlikely protagonists in "Thunderstruck" by C.J. Winters, a charming romance that is told from a unique perspective."
~Three stars, Romantic Times Bookclub

Reviews:
"White Elephants" by C.J. Winters (4.5 R.I.P.): New spin about the abandoned house in town. Not the characters I expected, which was very refreshing for me. I was relentless until reaching the end. Having an unique ending left me very satisfied.
