Notes of InterestSetting: Virginia—mid 1800's
Before Pen to Paper: I was recovering from a serious neck and head injury when these characters came to life. I have since learned to compensate but the injury severely affected my inner ear and my balance for years. Fletcher's affliction intrudes on his life as it did mine. Other parts of the storyline are based on actual happenings in my life, as are the surroundings. My grandmother's home (demolished before the creation of The National Historic Register) had been built by a bootlegger with hidden compartments, peepholes and tunnels leading to the river. The home's uniqueness was a parents' nightmare but a child's delight! paperback ISBN: 0-75962-767-3 hardcover ISBN: 1-4033-3417-X eBook ISBN:9781456605230 |

— Kirkus Reviews "Season of the Shadow is an amazing and intriguing romantic suspense! I was captured from page one into the lives of Fletcher and Kyndee and didn't stop until the last page. The characters are complex and realistic, lending authenticity to the time of the story. As the plot develops, the intrigue deepens and there are twists and turns keeping this reader entranced. I totally loved it!! 5 stars" — Wendy at Minding Spot "Season of The Shadow is a long but well-written and well-edited story of a man, Fletcher Stedman, who has his home, his life, and almost his life taken away from him… totally believable characters who are true to those long-ago times… Fans of historical fiction will enjoy Fletcher's book Season of The Shadow." 5 Stars — Alice at Readers Favorite "Season of the Shadow takes Southern flair and envelops it in a swath of mystery…a tumultuous journey of passion, rage and finally reinstatement of characters into their rightful lives. Bobbi Groover provides crescendos and delights for a solid tale of love lost and finally fulfilled. " 4 Stars — Keri English at IndieReader "It does have engaging characters, excitement, and page-burning intensity. And it is well worth reading. If you have not read anything by Bobbi Groover, I suggest you read Season of the Shadow, and then read Inn at Little Bend…I look forward to the third book in Ms. Groover’s Crisfield, Virginia trilogy when both couples are plunged into the fury of the Civil War.
