*****REVIEW ~~IT'S ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE: Loving And Living Well With Autism

By Author Kathy Almeida And Author Gayle Nobel

"UNDENIABLY UPLIFTING, FILLED WITH COURAGE, A TRIUMPH!"

After raising a child with special needs for thirty years and caring for

many other children with special needs to this day through my Nursing

career, I have not read a book that perfectly describes exactly what the

child needs and how to give it, with the exception of this novel. Kathy

Almeida and Gayle Nobel show the reader the exact necessities of

children with special needs, and how to provide excellent care. Through

their experience, they explain how to cope, to provide love with discipline

in all situations and stress the importance of hope, regardless of

unexpected challenges. I have read the eyes, and heart of many children

with autism, asperger's disease, and children with multiple disabilities.

Kathy Almeida and Gayle Nobel can comprehend, and relate to such

feelings, because they lived and survived through it. The two authors

of this book are not only guardian angels to children with special needs,

but every parent who has lived through it is indeed a hero. Through the

expertise of knowledge, along with a heart of gold, the loving parents of

these children are gifted, and deserve as much praise as they give to

special needs children. I highly recommend this book to all parents,

teachers, and caregivers of special needs children. I also recommend

this book to all parents who don't have special needs children, but wish

tolearn from the advice given through experience, and for all readers

who are interested in learning about special needs. Kathy Almeida and

Gayle Nobel provide educational tips, funny and serious moments, and

the importance of bonding relationships. Each author clearly specifies

through everyday challenges what works for them, and the child.

Furthermore, they focus on a positive attitude of helping these children

to lead productive lives through constant praise, and encouragement,

while building on self-confidence. Kathy Almeida and Gayle Nobel are

experts in providing love, acceptance, and hope, which are essential

necessities for special needs children. "IT'S ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE:

Loving And Living Well With Autism" is a triumph in the same respect

as portrayed in the true story RADIO, and is as inspiring as RAIN MAN

with Tom Cruise, and Dustin Hoffman.

*****REVIEW ~~BLOOD WEB: A Caitlin Diggs Novel~~By Author GARY STARTA

Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review!

"AN EXPLOSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER!"

Inspired by the work of Stephen King, along with Gary Starta's love for science

fiction, and concern about the domination of Americans, compelled the author

to pen a follow-up novel to "WHAT ARE YOU MADE OF." "BLOOD WEB: A Caitlin

Diggs Novel" was born a Masterpiece thriller of the supernatural, reminiscent of

THE X-FILES, a popular television series. FBI Agent Caitlin Diggs, and Shenk

are the two main characters. Agent Caitlin is assigned to a case, involving the

investigation of a killer, while searching for an evil crystal, with controlling

powers. Unfortunately, when Agent Cailen accepted this police job, it was shortly

after Geoffrey was killed. He was not only her undercover partner, but also the

man she loved. With an unstable mind, ignoring an early retirement request

made by her parents and her haunting determination to seek revenge for the

murder of Geoffrey, she purchased her airline ticket and sets out on her most

challenging, dangerous mission. Shenk is a mentally deranged teenager, who

is not only a runaway, but is also a demented killer. He is possessed by an evil,

ancient crystal. This heart-pounding novel that's packed with electrifying

suspense is highly recommended for all thriller lovers. The pages are covered

in blasting action, while the despicable villains come to life, and the emotional

roller-coaster-ride will leave you on the edge of your seat. The story transforms

into an intense, nail-biting thriller that will send chills up your spine as a

twisted serial killer is hunted down, while the entire nation is at risk. Does the

crystal possess psychic powers upon Agent Diggs, and does she fall prey to its

bloody desires? How many innocent people does Shenk murder? Does the Right

Hand organization find Agent Diggs, or does she find them? The line drawn

between biological life form and mechanical life form by Gary Starta in a

predicted nightmare that technology could dominate the world is portrayed

through charismatic characters, disturbing violence, and spellbinding drama.

In a terrifying race for time, is there a way out for Agent Diggs? "BLOOD WEB:

A Caitlin Diggs Novel" is as cleverly entertaining as DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, and is

as mesmerizing as THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS with Jodie Foster, and

Anthony Hopkins.

*****REVIEW ~~THE SECRET LIFE OF A SNOWBIRD~~Author Len Schritter

Subtitle: "An Inside Look At Retirement In America's Sunbelt"

"FUNNY, ENTERTAINING, AND TOUCHING!"

After living in the Northeast forty-five years, then moving to Arizona, I have

listened to many people voice their opinion on life in the two different worlds.

But no one can describe it better than Len Schritter, a potato farmer from Idaho,

who migrates to sunny Arizona as one of our many winter visitors. With perfection, he describes how it feels to be snowbound, constantly dreamng of

the warm sun. From blizard-after-blizard, to being a main attraction at the gulf

course in the Southwest. From his chilling bones during raging snowstorms, to

the palm trees at his Las Vegas mini-vacation. He describes his life as a snowbird

with humor, and heartfelt emotion as he tells stories about the two different

lives he lives, and great adventures with all the folks he made friends with

in Arizona. There's never a dull moment for Len and Diana as they remove their

winter coats, and venture out into the wonderment of retirement paradise,

while absorbing the sun. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is retired,

everyone who's contemplating on becoming a snowbird, and to those who enjoy

a heartwarming read, with a blend of humor. The author will guide you to fine

dining in Arizona and Mexico as he describes all the people he met on his

different bus tours, while admiring the Southwest mountains. The reader will hear about all the fuss at bingo drama hall as the saga continues, while learning

about the main topics discussed at the community pool. "THE SECRET LIFE OF

A SNOWBIRD: An Inside Look At Retirement In America's Sunbelt" is as funny

as THE-OUT-OF-TOWNERS, and as entertaining as GRUMPY OLD MEN with

Jack Lemmon, and Walter Matthau.

*****REVIEW ~~PENNY & RIO~~ By Author JENNIFER SWANSON

"ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"

Jennifer Swanson's extraordinary children's story is a sweet tale about two dogs,

an owl, a groundhog, and a cat. Penny and Rio are two dogs who are complete

opposites, with unique personalities. Penny is curious, noisy, and a great detective. Her sister Rio on the other hand, is quite content to just be lazy, and

sleep the day away. Penny attempts to persuade Rio to help unravel the mystery

in their backyard, which Penny has been observing, and investigating. Penny

becomes rambunctious to begin research on the four intruders, invading Penny

and Rio's territory in the dark of night. As the adventure begins, we are introduced

to the actions of Buster, Shadow, Nutty and Feathers. They are determined to invade the house next door, while Penny comes up with her own ingenious plan

as she continues to spy, during Rio's naps. Does Penny succeed to stop the critter

invasion, without her sister's help? Why was the neighbor's house a target for

the intruders? What information did we find out during the peculiar evening

gatherings? Penny steals the show with her astounding ability, determination,

and courage, despite getting punished for her actions. I highly recommend this

cute children's book for young readers, for dog lovers, and for everyone who's

still young at heart. The moral of the story is educational, the illustrations are

colorful, and the thrills make you laugh. The reader will learn about unexpected

circumstances, and how we should love and respect our pets through a journey

of acceptance. "PENNY & RIO: The Mysterious Backyard Meeting" is as fun-loving

as LOOK WHO'S TALKING NOW, and as entertaining as Walt Disney's AIR BUDDIES.

*****REVIEW ~~NO MAD~~ Author SAM MOFFIE

Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review!

"WILD, FUNNY AND TOUCHING!"

Sam Moffie takes the reader on an unforgettable road trip that's better than a

seven-day-stay at Disney World, but is similar to Disney World's famous ride through America's past, present, and future. The main character is Aaron Abrams, a forty-seven year old English teacher whose life changes in a matter of minutes, after one phone call of good news, and one moment of watching his twenty year marriage go down the tubes. He was informed of an exciting book deal he couldn't refuse, offering one-hundred thousand dollars in advance to write the

"Yearbook" and the bad news was witnessing his wife and brother engaged in sex at his own home. During two moments of his life he will always remember, he decides to act with nonviolent behavior as he grabs his dog, and hits the road. As his road trip begins in Ohio and ends in scenic Niagara Falls, his journey becomes an incredible rambling, funny, and rambunctious trip that the reader will never forget. While driving on Interstate 80, the reader learns that Aaron is a guy who drowns his sorrows by becoming best friends with his golden retriever, how addicted Aaron is to the game Jinx, and his obsession about hemorrhoids. As the fascinating journey continues, we learn about Aaron's quirk for Newman's Own Virgin Lemonade, the odd characters he meets along the way, and the rediscovery of America seen through his eyes. We learn about the pain he had to bear from the betrayal of his wife, the blow to his head from his brother, and the powerful influence of flashbacks from the 70's music in relation to life's experiences.

Before the end of Aaron's voyage, we also learn that he is a nurturing father of three children, a Romeo in new romance, and his thoughts about his daughter's pregnancy and her impending marriage. The adventurous journey continues with sidesplitting sexual encounters, the use of illegal narcotics, and aliens. As the reader takes history lessons during Aaron's new found freedom from New York to Boston, and Gettysburg to New Mexico, we are introduced to many bizarre characters. For the icing on the cake, the author creates the amusing events of the Crazy Horse Monument. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an adventure that's heartwarming, packed with entertainment, and filled with humor. Will Aaron ever find a place he could call home again? What shocking events did Aaron learn, while interviewing his fraternity brothers? Find out the answers in this unique, thought-provoking, fun ride. The author's down-to-earth

candor in this fast-paced novel, packed with engrossing stories in a splendid plot will take you to places you've never been to, and make you crave for more. Does Aaron fall in love with his agent's assistant? Where did Aaron meet the nymphomaniac, pothead State Trooper? Fasten your seatbelt, and continue this amazing road odyssey down memory lane of the past, and present. "NO MAD" is as touching as WHERE THE HEART IS, and as funny as NOTHING TO LOSE with Martin Lawrence, and Tim Robbins.

*****REVIEW ~~RAELIKSEN~~ AUTHOR RENEE VINCENT

"A RADIANT ROMANCE OF TENDER FEELINGS AND SWEET SURPRISES!"

The setting of this novel takes place in Connacht, Ireland 916 AD. As we reflect back in time to the Early Middle Ages, it was an era when Ireland was in turmoil,

Irish countryside became a battlezone, and was eventually overrun by chieftains.

It was a time when the Irish were warned about Northmen raids. A time in Ireland

when there was much more at stake than just a claim on Ireland's flourishing port, and a time where a brick wall was created between Christian, and Pagan men. During this era, there were two sides to the Northmen, those who terrorized, and those who wanted peace in a feuding world. However, many of Ireland's children were raised to believe that the Northmen were murderers, thieves, and savages. These children believed that Northmen had no morals and values. Therefore, these children grew up fearing Northmen. Mara was one of these children, but despite all beliefs, nothing stopped her from visiting the River Shannon, which was her favorite place. She visited the river often, where she would sing the songs her mother taught her. From the age of nine, after Mara's mother passed away, the River Shannon became a beautiful memory of Mara's visions of her Mom. No one ever knew of Mara's secret, except Daegan, who was the son of Raelik. He would hide from her, but watched her many times as she sang at the river, while secretly falling in love with her. He wasn't brave enough to tell her

until after he saved her life from a group of criminals heading to the river. At the age of sixteen, Mara began to fall in love with Daegan, but feared what actions would be taken against him when her father finds out. What would her people

think, the daughter of the King of Connacht, in love with a heathen? What challenges must Mara and Daegan face, after Daegan safely returns her home?

The ever-existing hostility and outrage in Ireland existed, but not between Mara

and Daegan. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys historical romance with a blend of drama. The setting is painted with vivid descriptions of Ireland in its true beauty, the plot is electrifying, and the romance is sizzling. Renee Vincent painted the three great virtues of Ireland page-after-page, honor, chivalry, and love of freedom. How often did brutal contacts occur, and were all Northmen monsters? Will Mara have to struggle for survival after her father finds out about her relationship with Daegan? Will Daegan be executed? Will Mara ever fill the empty space in Daegan's heart, or will she run in fear? "RAELIKSEN" is as captivating as A WALK TO REMEMBER, and as inspiring as THE COURAGE TO LOVE with Vanessa Williams.

*****REVIEW ~~THE ACRONYM: White Nights Of St. Petersburg by REBECCA LERWILL

"HIGH-VOLTAGE ENTERTAINMENT, FAST, FURIOUS AND FEVERISHLY ROMANTIC!"

Rebecca Lerwill's sequel to "RELOCATING MIA" is an incredible action-packed

adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Mia Trentino is on her way to Russia to testify against a member of the Russian Mafia for the horrifying events she witnessed while held in captivity. Douglas Farland is Mia's fiancee, and one of Acronym's agents, a spy who desperately tries to keep Mia alive. As a mission that's almost impossible begins to brew, Douglas must tangle and cross the monster who will stop at nothing to prevent Mia from testifying, otherwise known as the brutal Sergei Selkin. As intense suspense and drama explode on the pages of this novel, like the Fourth-Of-July, Douglas is reported as missing, and framed for treason. To accomplish this mission, the brass knuckle toughness must succeed, the good guys need to win, and the bad guys need to vanish instantly. But that's only the beginning, someone needs to watch the moves of the devil in the blue dress, your worst nightmare, better known as Ludvika. Will the battle be won

against the evils of the Russian Mafia? Will Mia ever testify about her horrifying

abduction without the protection of Douglas? Does anyone find Douglas, and will he ever be able to love Mia again? I highly recommend this book to action and suspense lovers, who enjoy a thriller that's blended with romance. The author colored the pages with nonstop twists-and-turns from high-voltage action to sweet, sensual romance, laced with drama. "THE ACRONYM: White Nights Of St. Petersburg" is as fast and furious as LETHAL WEAPON 4, and as mesmerizing as

THE JUROR with Demi Moore!
