The Winter Verdict by Dan Buzzetta is a tightly constructed legal thriller, blending courtroom drama with danger, personal stakes, and corporate ambition.

The novel opens by redefining its protagonist, Tom Berte. There was a time he wanted nothing more than to be a first-chair trial lawyer. Now his greatest peace comes from riding the first chair up Castle Ridge Ski Resort, skiing early and alone as the resort awakens. That peace is shattered when Tom files against Phoenix Holdings Group on behalf of Faith McReynolds. Faith wants to halt the development between the dense forest bordering the resort and the Bensonville Reservoir, proposed by Phoenix Holdings Group. The tension escalates quickly when, while skiing toward Majesty Mile, Tom hears a shrill shriek, followed by a thunderous blow to his face, the outline of a shotgun, and a single fired round. This was an unmistakable message that this lawsuit is far more dangerous than it appears.

As the plot unfolds, the threats escalate. Phoenix Holdings wants to settle the lawsuit by buying Castle Ridge Ski Resort. They feel this is a “win-win” for the parties involved and hope that Tom’s respected judgment will persuade Faith McReynolds and the town council. Complicating matters further is Tom’s shadowed past as a former government asset. As danger and risk would never fully leave him, the FBI quietly keeps a watchful eye on his family. A malfunctioning Turret lift leads to a massacre at the resort. Tom receives a threat demanding his silence about his knowledge of Phoenix Holdings Group, or he has to face the deaths of his wife and daughter. The warning appears to have come from someone who had info about Phoenix's plans, and this shifts the narrative to a race against the clock.

The protagonist, Tom, is torn between the peace he enjoys on the mountain and the burden of his legal obligations. Faith McReynolds is in stark contrast with the shadowy executives and enforcers of Phoenix. They represent unrestrained power and greed. Tom’s past comes back to haunt him and is woven into the legal arguments and the action-driven scenes.

The writing maintains a good balance between pacing, legal matters, and violence. Buzzetta also effectively keeps the legal writing accurate while not weighing the writing down.

Quill says: The Winter Verdict by Dan Buzzetta offers a captivating account of ambition, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas, incorporating authentic legal knowledge and deep emotional elements.

 #Bookreview of A Real Collusion

By: Stu Strumwasser

Publication Date: April 1, 2026

Publisher: Green Circle

ISBN: 979-8218885762

Reviewed by: Alma Boucher

Review Date: February 23, 2026

A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser is a bold and politically charged novel, blending conspiracy, satire, and civic drama into a cautionary tale about the fragility of American democracy.

The book examines a secret alliance between the Republican and Democratic parties. This illegal duopoly is operating behind closed doors to consolidate power and maintain control of the U.S. government. The real threat to democracy is internal corruption, and it is cultivated domestically and sustained by bipartisan self-interest. Strumwasser crafts the story of an ordinary man who stumbles into extraordinary circumstances and becomes the unlikely face of a grassroots rebellion.

The novel is narrated by Skip Winters, a friend and confidant of the protagonist, John Campbell. John is just a regular resident of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. John’s life is turned around forever when he disrupts a political committee meeting with a blunt declaration: “I object to you, to this committee, to this whole process.” What begins as a spontaneous outburst evolves into a movement. Initially attending what seems to be a local referendum on cigars, John inadvertently ignites public frustration with a broken political system. This was perceived by a journalist as a symbolic referendum on bipartisanship. Encouraged to run for City Council and later forming an exploratory committee for the 2013 mayoral race, John becomes the reluctant leader of The American Coalition, a rapidly growing independent movement. The Coalition threatens to expose a conspiracy with implications for the 2016 election. John becomes the medium for a message of reform, and the masses respond, demonstrating how a leader can be created when truth resonates widely enough.

Strumwasser examines issues such as economic inequality, political collusion, and the decline of the middle class. He points out that over twenty years, the richest Americans grew their share of the nation’s wealth from about twenty percent to nearly thirty percent, mostly at the cost of regular people. The novel warns about the risks of complacency and the problems that come with too much power in too few hands. The Democratic and Republican parties are shown as partners in a closed system, and not true opponents. Through John’s reluctant change and Skip’s journey from campaign manager to congressman, Strumwasser explores integrity, ambition, loyalty, and the price of standing up to those in power. John's message is clear: democracy needs citizens to stay alert, demand transparency, and take part actively.

Strumwasser's writing is urgent, and the pacing accelerates as John’s movement gains momentum. It mirrors the rapid rise of real-world political insurgencies. The narrative voice is wry, observant, and occasionally lined with satire. It keeps the story grounded even as events escalate into high-stakes political drama. Though the novel is concept-driven rather than character-driven at times, the authenticity of John’s everyman persona and Skip’s reflective narration lend credibility to an otherwise sweeping political conspiracy. The power of the work is in its ideas and its provocative “what if” premise.

Quill says: A Real Collusion is an ambitious and timely political thriller that challenges readers to reconsider the structure of American governance.

 #Bookreview of Beneath the Seventeenth: From Vietnam to Home

By: Clint Goodwin

Review Date: February 23, 2026

In Beneath the Seventeenth: From Vietnam to Home, author Clint Goodwin presents a remarkable collocation of warfare focused on the outward and private perspectives of participants in the Viet Nam conflict– as seen through the eyes of horses.

Horses have always been part of US military operations at home and abroad. Previously part of calvary battles, in recent times they are used for such endeavors as pulling caissons – military wagons transporting bodies to gravesites. The primary equine featured here is Rusty, raised on a US Marine Corps base and shipped to Saigon, his care overseen by Dr. Bobby Bates and French onlooker Clair Lefebvre, two of the book’s central humans. Clair connects with another -Texas Cajun Nic Nola, a teen volunteer. Bates’ son Jeremiah, an unusually bright teen, volunteers for service in Viet Nam based on his strong wish to serve his country. These and other combatants and military administrators have contact with the horses and one another as they face the horrors of warfare.

Goodwin details tactics and methods used by the US in that era: widespread poisonous substances like Napalm and Agent Orange, and weapons rushed to patent, including innovative developments like bombers and jets. By contrast, the mostly peasant Viet Cong defended their country against intruders using such crude but deadly means as Punji pits, disguised by underbrush, into which a Marine might fall and be fatally injured by implanted spikes. Goodwin states that “Between 1961 and 1969, over eleven thousand American servicemen died in Vietnam.” Depicting this distressing scenario as observed by Rusty and other steeds, Goodwin reveals the immediate pain of their human caregivers, which will be followed post-service agonies – wounds and depression - yet finally bringing both soldiers and horses back to peace and safety.

Goodwin, son of a World War II veteran and raised on a Texas cattle farm, has served as a US sailor, naval officer, and federal employee. Author of six similar books concerning varied warfare scenarios, he is a remarkably skilled historian, melding human conflict with contributions of steeds immersed in the fray. Goodwin thoughtfully pronounces that though the Viet Nam conflict was never officially declared as "war” by US Congress, he employs that term to honor its veterans.

Quill says: Goodwin’s book will doubtless attract readership across a wide spectrum: veterans and their families, horse lovers and respecters, and a fresh generation appreciating its wisdom, information and illumination.

 #Bookreview of Railroad Man, Legacies Son

By: Dan E. Hendrickson

Publisher: Headline Books

Publication Date: January 30, 2026

ISBN: 978-1958914915

Reviewed by: Tripti Kandari

Review Date: February 9, 2026

Blending romance with a high-stakes thriller backdrop of suspense and history, Railroad Man: Legacies Son by Dan E. Hendrickson is an emotional yet adventurous tale of Arthur Edwards, an ex-naval officer who must navigate his way through ambition, cultural conflict, and redemption.

A historical thriller-romance, the novel ushers readers into the dangerous and fast-changing world of the late 19th-century American West. It centers around Arthur Edwards, a former Union naval officer who now facilitates the expansion of the Union Pacific Railroad. Arthur’s duties involve not just laying tracks for frontier towns like Cheyenne and Sheridan, but also handling the accompanying politics, power struggles, and deep-rooted corruption.

As this disciplined figure works to modernize railway operations, he meets Aylen Perry, a confident, educated young woman. The bond the two slowly build creates a strong emotional tension between personal healing and professional duty. The plot unfolds through events of railroad expansion, tribal land rights, and greedy cattlemen conspiracies colliding into an intense conflict. The standoff between the Crow Nation and the U.S. cavalry, the ranchers’ plotting, and the danger surrounding Aylen and her family turn what seems like a historical romance into a high-stakes thriller. A race-against-time atmosphere forms, wherein Arthur must face the ultimate test of his courage, loyalty, and leadership.

The theme of duty versus personal happiness stands out strongly in the book. Arthur is a war-traumatized hero whose life is driven by responsibility and service. Although he has left behind his role as a naval officer, the soldier’s mindset never truly leaves him. Aylen Perry arrives as a turning point in his life, symbolizing the emotional anchor of Arthur’s healing journey. His responsibilities continue to act as hurdles in their relationship, reflecting the very human struggle of finding balance between duty and personal fulfillment. Simultaneously, the recurring conflict between railroad progress and Indigenous rights explores themes of cultural respect, coexistence, and justice.

Hendrickson employs strong visual imagery and presents a cinematic writing style, with snippets of battle flashbacks, vivid frontier landscapes, and high-tension rescue scenes. There is an emotional warmth in the dialogues, yet they also carry suspenseful urgency. The historical details don’t seem to weigh the narrative down, while the work strikes a fine balance between romance and action, making the plot both entertaining and meaningful.

The work caters to lovers of historical fiction, Western frontier adventures, and slow-burn romance. With elements of courage, cultural dynamics, conspiracy, and emotional healing, it makes for an immersive thriller.

Quill says: Railroad Man: Legacies Son is a thrilling historical adventure of courage, love, and legacy set on the canvas of the expanding American frontier.

 #Authorinterview with Dan E. Hendrickson

Today, Feathered Quill reviewer Tripti Kandari is talking with Dan E. Hendrickson, author of Railroad Man, Legacies Son.

FQ: Our hero, Arthur Edwards, carries deep trauma from the Civil War. How did you approach writing his emotional healing alongside his role as a hero?

HENDRICKSON: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a very serious condition that many soldiers have as a result of something terrible that happened to them or that they saw/experienced during war. My own father experienced this from trauma and life-threatening wounds he received serving in the Philippines during WW2. I can still remember my mother telling us about the nightmares he had that he refused to talk about with me or my siblings. He was able to open to my mother eventually and talk about what he experienced and that was key for him growing and learning to deal with it. I used that experience to help develop Arthur’s journey to healing in the book.

FQ: Railroad Man, Legacies Son blends romance, historical conflict, and thriller-like suspense. How did you decide on this mix of genres, and which element was the hardest, and the most enjoyable, for you to write?

HENDRICKSON: Life cannot be put into one genre. For me a story is not worth its salt unless it has at least an element of romance in it. I love to write action and adventure and in my last few novels I have delved into writing more historical fiction. Although the research for historical fiction can be intense at times, I really enjoy it probably due to my journalistic background. The Romance in this book was my biggest challenge. I wanted to develop that portion of my writing to another level. I took a writing class with Oxford University while I was in the middle of working on Railroad Man, Legacies Son and it really helped me in this category.

FQ: The tension between railroad expansion and Indigenous land rights is central to the plot. What message or perspective do you want readers to take away from this conflict?

HENDRICKSON: The message is that there is no cookie cutter stance that you can take on this issue. In my research into the conflict that occurred amidst the controversary with the railroad, cattlemen, and Indian Tribes in western United States over the beef market and using rail lines to ship the product exposed it to be a very complicated issue. Everyone was in favor of the lines going through. But it was the competition to benefit the most from it. The railroad wanted the business, the cattleman wanted the convenience, and the Indians wanted to benefit. The cattlemen were afraid that if the Railroad gave into the tribes demands and offered them unlimited at no cost shipping in payment for using their land it would undercut them at the beef market. They didn’t want the tribes to develop herds bigger than their own. The railroad made a lot of wealth off the cattleman but needed the tribal lands also.

FQ: How much historical research went into the railroad and frontier setting? Did you rely more on archives, real events, or imagination?

HENDRICKSON: All of the above. I grew up in Sheridan Wyoming and a lot of this stuff is common knowledge there. Though not so well known in the rest of the country.

FQ: Aylen represents a new kind of woman in the West, a woman who is educated and independent. Can we see this as your attempt to challenge stereotypes about women in historical Western fiction?

HENDRICKSON: Wyoming gave women the right to vote in 1869. It was the first place in the US to do so. There was a lot of reason why the then all male legislatures did that, but the women’s suffrage movement was a vital factor. By 1883 the territory was considered a stronghold in the union for women’s rights. So, a lot of the character attributes of Aylen are quite believable for that time period. Yes, I did want to represent a more truthful aspect of independent women who existed back then.

FQ: Which scene was the most emotionally difficult for you to write, and why? 

HENDRICKSON: When Swiftwind, the Appaloosa Stallion, chose Arthur at the railroad work camp north of Sheridan. Swiftwind is such a key part of Aylen’s past and connection to her Crow heritage. I was really concerned about getting it just right. Depicting the man who hates, and is terrible at riding horses, to be chosen by the most unrideable horse in the territory. It could have been a disaster but they had to learn to work together in order to go and save the ones they love the most. I wanted it to be both magical and humorous.

FQ: If this novel were adapted into a film or series, who would you cast as Arthur and Aylen?

HENDRICKSON: Arthur: David Corinswet, Aylen: Amber Midthunder

#Authorinterview with Benjamin McGreevy

Today, Feathered Quill reviewer Alma Boucher is talking with Benjamin McGreevy, author of Verse by Verse: A Daily Devotional Through the Whole Bible — Volume 1: Genesis 1–11 — Where the Story Begins.

FQ: What inspired you to write a verse-by-verse devotional book rather than a topical study?

MCGREEVY: Throughout church history, many of the most thoughtful theologians studied Scripture slowly and thoroughly, often working through books of the Bible line by line. They believed that no verse was accidental and nothing in God’s Word was expendable.

In today’s culture, however, it’s easy to gravitate toward familiar passages or favorite themes while unintentionally skipping over the quieter verses that don’t immediately stand out. I wanted to create a devotional that encourages readers to slow down and rediscover the beauty of careful reading.

A verse-by-verse format helps ensure that nothing is overlooked. Every verse has theological depth, historical context, and practical significance. By moving steadily through Scripture rather than jumping between topics, readers can see how each verse contributes to the larger story God is telling.

My hope was to create something that fosters consistency, attentiveness, and a deeper appreciation for the fullness of the biblical text.

FQ: Why did you choose Genesis 1–11 as the starting point for this series?

MCGREEVY: Genesis 1–11 lays the foundation for the entire biblical narrative. In these opening chapters, we encounter creation, the nature of humanity, the entrance of sin, judgment, mercy, covenant, and the beginnings of God’s redemptive plan. Nearly every major theological theme in Scripture can be traced back to these first eleven chapters.

If we misunderstand the beginning, we often misunderstand everything that follows.

I chose to start here because Genesis 1–11 shapes how we think about God’s character, human dignity, moral responsibility, and the need for redemption. These chapters are also frequently discussed, debated, and sometimes misunderstood, which makes careful, verse-by-verse reflection especially important.

By slowing down and walking through these foundational passages one verse at a time, readers can see how the rest of Scripture builds upon what is introduced at the very beginning. It seemed fitting to begin the journey where the biblical story itself begins — “In the beginning.”

FQ: Who did you have in mind while writing this book: new believers, seasoned readers, or both?

MCGREEVY: I intentionally wrote this devotional with both in mind.

For new believers, I wanted something structured and steady — a guide that walks through Scripture clearly and thoughtfully without assuming prior theological training. The verse-by-verse format helps remove intimidation and replaces it with consistency. Instead of wondering where to begin, readers can simply move forward one verse at a time.

For seasoned readers, I aimed to offer depth without becoming overly academic. Even familiar passages can reveal new insight when examined carefully. Slowing down allows readers to revisit foundational truths with fresh eyes and greater appreciation.

Ultimately, whether someone is opening the Bible for the first time or has been studying it for decades, my hope is the same: that they would engage Scripture more attentively and discover that every verse is worth examining.

FQ: What does this verse-by-verse devotional offer that other Bible studies might not?

MCGREEVY: When we focus primarily on a theme, there’s always the risk of unintentionally narrowing our attention to that single lens. Themes are valuable, but God’s revelation in Scripture is far richer and broader than any one topic can fully capture.

A verse-by-verse approach resists that narrowing effect. Instead of filtering Scripture through a chosen subject, it allows the text to speak in its own order and emphasis. Some verses confront us, others comfort us, and others quietly build theological foundations that we might otherwise overlook.

By slowing down and examining each verse carefully, we begin to appreciate the fullness of what God has revealed. It’s an attempt to give the text the attention and reverence it deserves — trusting that every verse contributes meaningfully to the larger story.

FQ: What challenges did you experience writing this devotional while still staying faithful to the original biblical text?

MCGREEVY: The biggest challenge wasn’t a single difficult passage — it was the sheer scope of the project.

There are 31,102 verses in the Bible. Even at a pace of five verses a day, working through all of Scripture would take more than seventeen years. That reality forced me to confront the importance of consistency and discipline. Writing a verse-by-verse devotional isn’t something you complete quickly; it’s something you commit to over time.

Staying faithful to the text required building a daily rhythm of study, reflection, and writing. Some days came easily, while others required perseverance. But that steady pace mirrors the heart behind the project itself: Scripture is not meant to be rushed. It is meant to be walked through patiently and faithfully.

In many ways, the challenge of the process reinforced the very message of the book — that careful, consistent engagement with God’s Word over time is both demanding and deeply rewarding.

FQ: How can readers apply ancient texts in Genesis to modern struggles and daily decisions?

MCGREEVY: Scripture reminds us that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. That means the truths revealed in Genesis are not just historical—they are deeply relevant to our lives now.

By carefully studying the opening chapters of Genesis, readers can begin to see God’s intention behind creation, the value He places on humanity, and His design for how we relate to one another and the world. These truths provide a foundation for making wise choices, cultivating healthy relationships, and understanding our responsibilities in everyday life.

Even in the midst of modern struggles, the patterns and principles in Genesis—like stewardship, obedience, and trust in God’s plan—can guide our decisions, offering both clarity and reassurance that God’s ways are consistent and good.

FQ: What overarching message do you believe Genesis 1–11 offers modern readers?

MCGREEVY: Genesis 1–11 reveals that God is relational and that He created humanity to experience His love. God is not merely loving—He is Love itself, existing eternally in perfect relationship within Himself: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From the very beginning, humans were made to reflect that divine communion.

Adam and Eve were created to participate in this love, to mirror God’s unity and distinction, and to experience intimacy with Him and with each other. Humanity was designed for relationship, not isolation. But when sin entered, humanity separated itself from that original intention, hiding from God’s perfect holiness—not because His love failed, but because sin obstructs fellowship with Him.

Yet even after the fall, Genesis hints at God’s redemptive plan: His love endures, and He provides a way to restore the relationship that humanity was always meant to enjoy. The opening chapters of Scripture, therefore, are not just history—they show us the pattern of God’s love, our purpose, and the hope of reconciliation that carries through the rest of the Bible.

FQ: Which passage in these early chapters had the biggest impact on you personally?

MCGREEVY: It’s hard to single out one passage, because going through Genesis 1–11 systematically caused me to internalize the text in a way I hadn’t before. Studying it verse by verse made me slow down, notice details I might have previously skimmed, and see how each part contributes to the larger story of God’s love, order, and design.

As I grew through writing, I intended for readers to grow alongside me. Life is a journey, and Scripture is meant to guide us step by step. By engaging each verse carefully, both the writer and the reader are invited to grow together in understanding, faith, and reflection on God’s Word.

FQ: What do you hope readers walk away with after completing Volume 1?

MCGREEVY: My hope is that readers finish Volume 1 with a firm foundation for growing their relationship with God. By engaging each verse carefully, they gain a deeper understanding of His character, His love, and His design for humanity.

I also hope they develop the habit of thoughtful, consistent Scripture study—seeing that even small, daily steps can lead to meaningful growth. Ultimately, I want readers to leave with a sense of closeness to God and a renewed desire to continue exploring His Word, verse by verse.

FQ: What can readers look forward to as the Verse by Verse series continues?

MCGREEVY: As the series continues, readers can look forward to moving deeper into Scripture, exploring each book with the same careful, verse-by-verse approach. Each volume will build on the foundation of the previous ones, offering fresh insights, practical application, and thoughtful reflection on God’s unfolding story.

Beyond understanding individual verses, the series will help readers see connections across Scripture, highlighting God’s love, justice, mercy, and redemptive plan.

I also plan to convert the devotional into a free blog on versebyversebook.com, so that those who may be struggling or unable to purchase the book can still access its wisdom and grow in their understanding of Scripture. My hope is that this journey will encourage consistent engagement with the Bible, helping readers grow spiritually while enjoying the richness of God’s Word—one verse at a time.

 #Authorinterview with Eliza Kelley and Debra Whiting Alexander

Today, Feathered Quill reviewer Alma Boucher is talking with Eliza Kelley and Debra Whiting Alexander, authors of Eliza Jane Finds Her Dog Squad.

FQ: What inspired the Eliza Jane Series, and how did the idea first take shape?

ELIZA: I inspired the idea when I was younger. I have Tourette’s and created the superhero, Tinklelocks, in pretend play with my grandma (“Nanny”). Since Nanny has written a lot of books already, I suggested she and I write a story about a girl superhero with Tourette’s. At the same time my teacher, Ms. Rosales, gave me an assignment to write a story with pictures. So I wrote about Tinklelocks (Eliza Jane's secret superhero). Ms. Rosales surprised me at the end of the year and made it into a book! That inspired Nanny and I to publish a real one. I surprised Ms. Rosales with a published copy of our first book a couple years later.

FQ: Young readers can relate to Eliza Jane’s character. What qualities were important for you to capture in her?

ELIZA AND DEBRA: We both agreed Eliza Jane should be funny like a real kid, a little quirky, adventurous, strong, brave and not-so brave sometimes, and a good friend to everyone. 

FQ: How did the collaboration between you both work during the writing process?

ELIZA AND DEBRA: We did most of our best work and brainstorming during our weekend sleepovers. It was not unusual for us to stay up until 2 AM talking through our story ideas, creating all the characters and scene ideas. Then, Nanny (Debra) wrote the rough drafts and Eliza weighed in on them and added more ideas. During the months of writing, we both had moments all through the day when we were in the car, or the shower, or on walks and we had to quickly find paper and a pen to jot down a new idea or something we wanted Archie to say in the story!

FQ: Why was it important to discuss the anxiety surrounding new school-year transitions?

ELIZA: Because it’s true for kids and was important to the story.

DEBRA: Anxiety is such a natural feeling and reaction for most, if not all children to experience at one time or another. It’s especially true at the start of a new school year.  We knew our readers would likely relate to that.

FQ: Were any parts of the book inspired by real-life experiences with children or pets?

DEBRA: Yes! For example, Eliza has Tourette’s and was able to write about the real ways she experiences tics and actual ways she copes with her condition. She has also enjoyed riding a blind horse who inspired the horse named "Popcorn" in our story. Just like the character Eliza Jane, Eliza’s tics disappeared as soon as she climbed into his saddle. Finally, Archie is based on Eliza’s real companion animal who has been a source of comfort since she was diagnosed with Tourette’s. In real life, Archie was always able to calm her tics, reduce stress, and help her sleep.

FQ: How do you balance the life lessons with fun and engaging storytelling for the younger reader?

ELIZA: We just told the truth.

DEBRA: We did. Making mistakes is a part of life and learning. We showed that even when we have challenges and hard things to deal with, life can still be fun. There can be happiness and fun times even in the midst of regrets, sadness, or grief. Life gives us both.

FQ: What lesson do you hope children take away after finishing the book?

ELIZA: Be your true self.

DEBRA: And be kind and accepting to everyone. We are all unique and different in so many ways.

FQ: What kind of adventure can we expect next for Eliza Jane and Archie in the future?

ELIZA AND DEBRA: Not only is an exciting adventure involving travel on the way, but some big changes are also in store!  We have started our third book in the series so stay tuned!

FQ: What was the most rewarding feedback you have received?

ELIZA: That my friends loved it. And children from fifteen different schools in the United Kingdom voted and gave our first book a winning medal. They said reading it had helped them understand Tourette syndrome which they didn’t know about before.

DEBRA: Hearing from readers that our story inspired them, made them laugh and sometimes cry.  Best of all, they told us they now better understand this medical condition that’s more common than most people realize. Our mission is accomplished but we're not done yet.
