Reviews
"You know you're in for a wild ride from the opening passages of Linda Ballou's new collection of travel stories titled Lost Angel Unleashed. The book is filled with as riotous tales as the scary plane ride she endures in the first story. Each story here has its own charm. Each is a little nugget of literary deliciousness. AJ Llewellyn, Mystery Author Lost Angel Unleashed is a scrumptious read. You may find that it is tempting to rush through it, just for the pleasure of letting your eyes ""gulp down"" Linda's beautifully descriptive prose. Read it at a more sedate pace, so that you can really take in all the delightful details she masterfully crafts into each story. Anne Holmes, CEO-National Association of Baby Boomer Woman"
