The evil killer is on the loose to hunt his next victim and nothing will stop him. He is determined to punish anyone who crosses his path, or makes him look bad. Unlike most serial killers, he may be a psychopath, but there's something different about him. His trademark and his motives are chilling, making you feel as if simply knowing about his existence will indeed cause many sleepless nights. Gavin, a homicide detective is so obsessed with catching Krogan in the act, that his 'motto' to shoot first and ask questions later would take effect immediately. Why was the detective bitter with Krogan, and what did the serial killer do to Gavin's grandfather? I highly recommend this gripping novel to all thriller and time-travel lovers, who enjoy high-speed action with intense suspense as well as paranormal fiction. W.G. Griffiths weaves together an incredible, compelling story that moves like a speeding bullet. A Masterpiece, based on Spirituality, reincarnation, and past life experiences and that's only the beginning through this riveting story. After living in Long Island, New York, forty-five years, I am indeed a witness to the author's picture-perfect setting. W.G. Griffiths dives into the supernatural, creates intriguing characters and has the reader hooked in the first chapter. The reader not only becomes addictive and craves for more at the end, but this mesmerizing story will leave you to ponder on why these incidents happen. What did the Reverend do, and how does the villain survive all the car crashes? What does the turtle represent? What will it take to prevent ongoing brutal attacks against more innocent victims, does hypnosis help, and will justice be served? Who else will be drawn into the killers' explosive game in a race against time? "DRIVEN" is as exciting as CAPE FEAR, as bone-chilling as ALONG CAME A SPIDER, and as haunting as THE OMEN.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5213758068188908087?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5213758068188908087/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5213758068188908087' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5213758068188908087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5213758068188908087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2012/01/5-star-reviewdriven-author-wg-griffiths.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;DRIVEN&quot; Author W.G.

A country in which we are entitled to 'Freedom Of Speech!' A country that has fought for 'Human Rights' generation-after-generation, but how far have we gone, and are we really there yet? Author and Scholar Agron Belica speaks out on a delicate subject, which has been a disturbing issue for decades. We have the Right to vote, and the Right to choose, but what Rights do our children have as many decisions made for them are Not their own? "DAY AFTER DAY' tugs at the heartstrings, brings tears to your eyes, and is powerfully moving! The song hits home, but the fight goes on, and how long will it continue? Will our children and great grandchildren sing the same song, before justice is done? How many decisions were made for our children went wrong, changing their lives forever? The words in this touching song will not only remain in our hearts, but will haunt us long after we listen!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-6817993830741215850?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/6817993830741215850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=6817993830741215850' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6817993830741215850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6817993830741215850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-of-day-after-day.html' title='*REVIEW of  &quot;DAY AFTER DAY&quot; Author/Scholar/Vocalist~AGRON BELICA'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AfzahLvnzW4/TtGApdnGRII/AAAAAAAAA9s/ayFKUvTBzEA/s72-c/AGRON.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-7320789257097066680</id><published>2011-11-25T18:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-25T18:22:38.315-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"UNRAVELING ANNE" LAUREL SAVILLE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SDoR4_YVgTI/TtBIvL6a9SI/AAAAAAAAA80/sdMr5942mg0/s1600/UNRAVELING+ANNE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SDoR4_YVgTI/TtBIvL6a9SI/AAAAAAAAA80/sdMr5942mg0/s1600/UNRAVELING+ANNE.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;~Amazon Vine Review&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;~Vine Voice&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Geraldine Ahearn"AuthorGeriAhearn"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;~The Most Helpful Favorable Review&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"A MEMOIR OF SUCCESS, FAILURE AND SURVIVAL!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Once a beauty pageant winner, an artist, and a fashion designer. One woman who should have been given the opportunity to pass on the true meaning of success and accomplishment to others. Instead, her life ended in tragedy. A beautiful woman, a heroine who was found brutally murdered. How is it possible that the life of a shining star winds up living in the streets, suffering from alcoholism and mental illness? How can a child comprehend the tragic death of her mother as she copes with loss, horror, and sadness? Laurel Saville penned a touching, emotional and compassionate memoir, describing the heartbreaking story of her mother's life, and her tragic death. I highly recommend this endearing memoir to all those who had to face the loss of a loved one and trauma inflicted upon them due to tragedy, while searching for a guiding light on the road to survival. The author shares her personal experience with the world on how one can move forward, after living through a troubled childhood. One woman was defined by how she died, and one child was defined by what she survived. "UNRAVELING ANNE" conveys how strength and love can be the building blocks to a better life, after we find the answers to tormenting memories of a childhood, filled with chaos and danger.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7320789257097066680?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7320789257097066680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7320789257097066680' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7320789257097066680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7320789257097066680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/11/5-star-reviewunraveling-anne-laurel.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;UNRAVELING ANNE&quot; LAUREL SAVILLE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SDoR4_YVgTI/TtBIvL6a9SI/AAAAAAAAA80/sdMr5942mg0/s72-c/UNRAVELING+ANNE.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-9154366241846984466</id><published>2011-11-04T17:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T17:00:39.432-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"WHEN SHE WOKE" HILLARY JORDAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-psxqHO7TaTU/TrR5AyE046I/AAAAAAAAA7k/CA9h_0yd2-o/s1600/WHEN+SHE+WOKE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-psxqHO7TaTU/TrR5AyE046I/AAAAAAAAA7k/CA9h_0yd2-o/s1600/WHEN+SHE+WOKE.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;~Amazon Vine Review&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;~Vine Voice~Geraldine Ahearn"AuthorGeriAhearn"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"WHEN THE COLOR &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;RED&lt;/span&gt; IS NOT SO PRETTY!"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hannah Payne is devoted to church, and family. However, her ideals and beliefs begin to change after she is arrested. Her nightmare begins when she awakens to cameras broadcasting every move she makes, while covered only by a paper gown. Her skin color was genetically altered to match the type of crime she is accused of, which is murder. According to the state of Texas, she is a Red, and the victim is her unborn child. How does she protect the child's father, who is a public figure? Did Hannah engage in a forbidden love affair? Will there be prison time, rehabilitation, or will she be thrown back into society? Who draws the fine line restrictions between church and state, and can Hannah survive in a hostile world? As she walks the road of self-discovery, is she uncertain about the values she once believed in? I highly recommend this book to all dystopian thriller lovers. Hillary Jordan created a fast-paced, chilling Masterpiece. An intelligent fable, with suspenseful twists-and-turns from beginning to end. "WHEN SHE WOKE" is as fascinating as Stephen King's THE LANGOLIERS!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-9154366241846984466?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/9154366241846984466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=9154366241846984466' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/9154366241846984466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/9154366241846984466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/11/5-star-reviewwhen-she-woke-hillary.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;WHEN SHE WOKE&quot; HILLARY JORDAN'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-psxqHO7TaTU/TrR5AyE046I/AAAAAAAAA7k/CA9h_0yd2-o/s72-c/WHEN+SHE+WOKE.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-2269107561605501177</id><published>2011-10-17T17:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T17:10:07.971-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"MYSTEERIE MANOR II:The House That Keeps On Giving" Author SHARON HAYS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FSJwr9YLmtQ/Tpy8_PlA49I/AAAAAAAAA40/tWTm1-Lb1P8/s1600/MYSTEERIE+MANOR+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FSJwr9YLmtQ/Tpy8_PlA49I/AAAAAAAAA40/tWTm1-Lb1P8/s1600/MYSTEERIE+MANOR+2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.amazon.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.barnesandnoble.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.SharonHays.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AMAZON'S MOST HELPFUL FAVORABLE REVIEW~~&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"A NAIL-BITING, BONE-CHILLING SPECTRUM OF TERROR!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Maryanne O'Donnell was looking for the perfect house that she could invest in. She found one with all the top qualities to meet her standards, with her love for antiques, and history. She becomes fascinated with an old, Italian beauty, excited to move in with the love of her life. However, what she didn't realize was the fact that she got much more than what she bargained for. Maryanne knew about the creepy reputation and the spirits at the Valencia, preparing to rid of the spirits, prior to moving in. Did Vivian's psychic powers cleanse the Manor permanently? How many tragic deaths were reported from the time of construction to its last owner? Did screams bounce off the walls, and what unexpected chilling events took place, behind closed doors? Is the Valencia Manor in Colorado an eerie mansion, with its own personality? Who felt a cold breeze from behind the walls, and is pushed forcefully from a terrifying presence? Will evil continue within the world of spirits? I highly recommend this gripping horror mystery to all thriller lovers, who enjoy explosive drama, and intense suspense. Sharon Hays created a haunting, intriguing, and captivating story of the supernatural, made for the movie screen. A Masterpiece of paranormal suspense, thrilling twists-and-turns, along with horrifying events leave you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Strange accidents, bizarre adventures, and mysterious deaths require extra help from many detectives. But will the priest and psychic also be needed to fight a paranormal entity in this spell-binding thriller? What did it take to convince Mario to believe in spirits? What happened to Maryanne, and did Joan believe that Maryanne was not dead? "MYSTEERIE MANOR II: The House That Keeps On Giving" is as terrifying as THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, as chilling as THE EXORCIST, and as scary as THE HAUNTING.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-2269107561605501177?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/2269107561605501177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=2269107561605501177' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2269107561605501177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2269107561605501177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/10/5-star-reviewmysteerie-manor-iithe.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;MYSTEERIE MANOR II:The House That Keeps On Giving&quot; Author SHARON HAYS'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FSJwr9YLmtQ/Tpy8_PlA49I/AAAAAAAAA40/tWTm1-Lb1P8/s72-c/MYSTEERIE+MANOR+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3150275571549080897</id><published>2011-09-23T15:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-23T15:38:11.153-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Amazon Vine REVIEW~5 Stars~~"DARK SOULS" Author PAULA MORRIS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MmEZnjnZvto/Tn0FxGCcNoI/AAAAAAAAA4M/xaWY9ikCL9k/s1600/DARK+SOULS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MmEZnjnZvto/Tn0FxGCcNoI/AAAAAAAAA4M/xaWY9ikCL9k/s1600/DARK+SOULS.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amazon Vine Voice~Geraldine Ahearn"AuthorGeriAhearn"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"A MESMERIZING, ASTONISHING &amp;nbsp;SUPERNATURAL TALE!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Miranda and Rob are involved in a horrifying car accident, and for different reasons, they blame themselves. After the death of Miranda's best friend, Miranda and her brother become victims of guilt from the traumatic event. Miranda's parents decided to take Miranda and Rob with them to York, England, while doing business, hoping that a vacation would ease the pain and help to heal the soul. However, strange incidents begin to happen, and Miranda's world that recently turned upside-down is about to get worse. What bizarre events occurred around town that were related to Miranda and Rob? What did Miranda and Nick have in common? Does Miranda fall in love with the man across her window? Will the suffering end for Miranda and Rob? I highly recommend this spine-chilling novel to all those who enjoy ghost stories, combined with mystery. Paula Morris takes the reader through a haunting tale of the supernatural with an intriguing story in a picture-perfect setting. In DARK SOULS, the reader is invited to walk through the Gates, and witness spooky ghosts on crowded streets as the buildings light-up and you can hear footsteps on shining cobblestone. The breathtaking descriptions created by the author will make you feel as if you are standing near an enchanted storefront. Visions of the unseen world with intense suspense and twists-and-turns will keep the reader interested from beginning to end. The characters come to life, a mystery will keep you guessing and the engaging story that's filled with paranormal activity, decorated in Old England appeal, will not disappoint!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3150275571549080897?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3150275571549080897/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3150275571549080897' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3150275571549080897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3150275571549080897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/09/amazon-vine-review5-starsdark-souls.html' title='Amazon Vine REVIEW~5 Stars~~&quot;DARK SOULS&quot; Author PAULA MORRIS'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MmEZnjnZvto/Tn0FxGCcNoI/AAAAAAAAA4M/xaWY9ikCL9k/s72-c/DARK+SOULS.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-2981448814179309153</id><published>2011-09-16T14:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-16T14:56:36.239-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"PSYCHE'S PROPHECY" Author ANN GIMPEL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7UjMsHDQyEs/TnPCJR9PwtI/AAAAAAAAA3s/MXfJhdenYoU/s1600/ANN+G..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7UjMsHDQyEs/TnPCJR9PwtI/AAAAAAAAA3s/MXfJhdenYoU/s1600/ANN+G..jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"AN INTELLIGENTLY CRAFTED THRILLER WITH RIVETING INTENSITY!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Doctor Laura Mclnnis not only has a special gift that helps her with her patients, but she is a gift to the world she lives in. Although Laura's unique psychic is a secret, her clinical experience isn't enough when multiple threats begin to enter the world of chaos she lives in. As Laura is confronted with helping a couple sort out their problems, danger begins to increase, and survival becomes the name of the game. Who had the same dream as Laura, and what was it about? Why did Laura consult a psychic, was she in love with Trevor, and did they trust each other? I highly recommend this book to all contemporary fantasy lovers, who enjoy mystery, combined with intense suspense, and romance. Ann Gimpel's expertise in psychology shines through page-after-page, blended with thrills, chills, and mystical-magic made for a movie screen. The author takes the reader through a haunted house of horror as Laura is faced with a crisis as the clock ticks fast in her desperate search for answers. What powerful force does Laura struggle with, and how does the old woman help? Time is running out, along with the comforts of civilization, is there hope for the future? "PSYCHE'S PROPHECY" is as thrilling as WHAT LIES BENEATH, as chilling as THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE and as mysterious as THE SIXTH SENSE, with Bruce Willis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

An era when the trauma and ill effects of mental illness were misunderstood. During this era, one woman was forced to battle abuse, alcoholism and the responsibility of raising two children, while fighting for survival from a psychotic breakdown.

Then one day, his parents were divorced, his teen years were more than complicated and his entire world began to shatter, like broken glass. At the age of seventeen, Jesse began to live in a world of his own. As an only child, who was faced with separation, betrayal, anguish and one brave teenager who fell to the ground in a desperate search for answers on how to survive. What drew Jesse further apart from his mom, and was his dad the hero that he made him out to be? What ran through Jesse's mind, while watching the twin towers in flames, what fears and guilt terrified him? What did his mom write in the note, and what message was left on the answering machine? I highly recommend this book to young adults, parents, and teachers. Sara Dean penned an incredible story that relates to today's society, family unity, divorce, and loss of a loved one. The author takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride from beginning to end, the characters come to life, and the story will tug at your heart, page-after-page. What secret did Shandy share with Jesse, and was she telling the truth? What did Jesse do to Nicky in an outrage, and why? Why did Jesse want to enlist in the Army, and did Nicky follow his footsteps? Does Jesse bond with his grandmother, and does he get his life back? "FORGIVING JESSE" is as heartfelt as PAY IT FORWARD, as entertaining as A WALK TO REMEMBER and as emotional as STEPMOM, with Julia Roberts, and Susan Sarandan.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0Ba2PZrriw/Tjr5kFVo5gI/AAAAAAAAA0w/4TSuqCuARDE/s1600/colored+books.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0Ba2PZrriw/Tjr5kFVo5gI/AAAAAAAAA0w/4TSuqCuARDE/s1600/colored+books.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-4859694516633020686?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/4859694516633020686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=4859694516633020686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4859694516633020686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4859694516633020686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/08/5-star-reviewforgiving-jesse-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;FORGIVING JESSE&quot; Author SARA DEAN'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gaWFfAYo-Bg/Tjrz3LL0INI/AAAAAAAAA0o/OnPeOKzKR6Q/s72-c/SARA+DEAN%2527S+BOOK.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3686351223997778506</id><published>2011-06-08T16:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-09T13:04:29.947-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star Review~~"FROM THE DEPTHS OF A WOMAN'S SOUL" Award Winning/Best Selling Author "CHRISTA JAN RYAN"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i1EYR0uugbc/Te_6BR82j2I/AAAAAAAAAy4/CmxACbPmxYE/s1600/ChristaBook2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i1EYR0uugbc/Te_6BR82j2I/AAAAAAAAAy4/CmxACbPmxYE/s1600/ChristaBook2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"A GUIDING LIGHT OF INSPIRATION TO A FUTURE OF PEACE AND ACCEPTANCE!"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;One of the most traumatic events in a lifetime is coping with the loss of a loved one.

One woman emerges from overwhelming pain, then regains the strength to reach out to families with a renewed sense of purpose as she guides them on the road of acceptance, peace, and tranquility. "FROM THE DEPTHS OF A WOMAN'S SOUL" is as emotional as PAY IT FORWARD, with Kevin Spacey, and Helen Hunt.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DbMJqANsp2k/Te_-xhqwjcI/AAAAAAAAAy8/1BCydx62WxY/s1600/Christa+PICTURE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DbMJqANsp2k/Te_-xhqwjcI/AAAAAAAAAy8/1BCydx62WxY/s1600/Christa+PICTURE.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3686351223997778506?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3686351223997778506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3686351223997778506' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3686351223997778506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3686351223997778506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/06/5-star-reviewfrom-depths-of-womans-soul.html' title='5 Star Review~~&quot;FROM THE DEPTHS OF A WOMAN&apos;S SOUL&quot; Award Winning/Best Selling Author &quot;CHRISTA JAN RYAN&quot;'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i1EYR0uugbc/Te_6BR82j2I/AAAAAAAAAy4/CmxACbPmxYE/s72-c/ChristaBook2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-6043792804976440234</id><published>2011-05-29T18:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-30T11:13:05.121-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"FORK IN THE ROAD TO APOCALYPSE" Author JEFF GONSALVES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7o7knCXhqyk/TePeEmm0qhI/AAAAAAAAAyY/Yq2AAG8WBgY/s1600/Apocalypse-432x648-300dpi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7o7knCXhqyk/TePeEmm0qhI/AAAAAAAAAyY/Yq2AAG8WBgY/s320/Apocalypse-432x648-300dpi.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"THE FINE LINE BETWEEN NIGHTMARE AND REALITY IN A HAIR-RAISING RIDE!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Elliot Anderson creates bizarre illusions in his own battle with his psychic mind, his mother is manic-depressive, and his uncle sets out on a mission to protect Elliot, regardless of the consequences. Is Elliot dangerous, and how does one control his homicidal impulses? Chuck works for the government, but does his plans become Mission Impossible? Interrogation showed proven results that Elliot can alter reality, was he selected to be used for military combat, and why did he resist? When Elliot was imprisoned, what steps did his uncle take? Can Elliot control his psychic ability, and who does he use it against? Why did Elliot's mother lock him up in the house, and what did he transform his home into? What struggles must Elliot's uncle deal with, what is his nephew capable of, and how far will Elliot go? Why does Jerry hate himself, is Joey violent, and who is the insane android assassin? How disturbed can Elliot become under extreme stress, and what can he do to his victims? I highly recommend this novel to all science fiction lovers, who enjoy thrilling stories, filled with suspense. Jeff Gonsalves becomes a Master storyteller as he creates an earth-shattering adventure that rivets and amazes. The characters are colorful, and the unique story is covered in explosive, non-stop action, made for the movie screen. What kind of chaos will result in Elliot's actions? Do health issues rise, and what will be the outcome? Does Elliot's psychic ability need to be terminated, can he be saved, and who will survive?

How did the lives of the characters interwine in unexpected ways? Friends share joy, tears and are there for each other, but do they lead the same lifestyle? When secrets from the past are revealed, will the friendship ever be the same? What did Toni do when she found out she was pregnant? How did Toni react when Benjamin was back in her life? Who became upset about Gina's pregnancy? Who is Toni's true love, and what was their favorite song? Why did Benjamin go to jail, and who was Vince in love with? I highly recommend this novel to all contemporary fiction lovers, who enjoy compelling stories, with a blend of romance and drama. Terri D. creates an intriguing story, packed with twists-and-turns, based on the trials-and-tribulations of friendship and relationships that can indeed return to haunt us. The author introduces a plot that becomes thought-provoking page-after-page as the reader craves for more. Terri D. makes one think about insecurity, self-doubt, and traumatic issues that women deal with throughout their lives. Touching, enjoyable moments exist as well as betrayal and redemption. Do the female characters that come to life within the pages of this emotional story exist inside all women? Will Jada and Toni be friends forever? Will Toni lead the life she longs for? Does a fine line exist between love and hate? "YESTERDAY'S LIES" is as compelling as THE COLOR PURPLE and as entertaining as WAITING TO EXHALE, with Whitney Houston, and Angela Bassett.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-1059672885222075686?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/1059672885222075686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=1059672885222075686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/1059672885222075686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/1059672885222075686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/05/5-star-reviewyesterdays-lies-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;YESTERDAY&apos;S LIES&quot; Author TERRI D.'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QVVy6jTR8wo/TccR1iiG7kI/AAAAAAAAAxw/N4i3iv1Rn68/s72-c/TERRI+D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3286365335282394957</id><published>2011-05-07T19:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-07T19:10:34.638-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"TRACTORS, PLANES, GOLF &amp; DAMES" Author DON VOLK</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jJZHpptfkcQ/TcX3Jd5Dp9I/AAAAAAAAAxo/ApfAQSb5Io8/s1600/DON.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jJZHpptfkcQ/TcX3Jd5Dp9I/AAAAAAAAAxo/ApfAQSb5Io8/s1600/DON.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Memoir By DON VOLK&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.DonVolkBook.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.FiveStarPublications.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.amazon.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.barnesandnoble.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"AN ENDEARING MEMOIR OF PASSION, LOVE AND INSPIRATION THROUGH LIFE'S JOURNEY!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Don Volk penned an endearing memoir, dedicated to his family and friends with admiration, respect and inspiration to all readers. The author's autobiography captures his incredible journey through life as a Military Pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps, one remarkable man who served his country through three wars, pursued a career with the Professional Golf Association and shares his compassion about unconditional love for the special women in his life, who filled his heart with hope for the future. Don Volk shares with the reader his precious memories of what he learned from his parents as he grew up on a farm in Utah, what he learned about mechanical devices and engines which led him to a distinguished career with the U.S. Army Air Corps, how he began to serve his country at age eighteen, and the passion he had for golf. One man who drove tractors, then flew airplanes, while serving in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He conveys the compassion he had for Petie, Sandy, and Wandi through life's trials-and-tribulations. Three women in his life, who encouraged him to reach for the stars, and follow his dreams. One of the greatest accomplishments in the author's life is not about his personal achievements. Instead, it's about inspiring others to walk the many roads through life with persistence, hope, and faith. One man who tells his story about dedication and hard work as he followed the footsteps of his parents, with respect for life, and unconditional love. One man who served his country almost twenty-four years, gave over thirty years to the PGA, and inspires today's youth to follow their dreams as he did. "TRACTORS, PLANES, GOLF &amp;amp; DAMES: A Memoir By Don Volk" is filled with inspiration, motivation, and compassion.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3286365335282394957?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3286365335282394957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3286365335282394957' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3286365335282394957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3286365335282394957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/05/5-star-reviewtractors-planes-golf-dames.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;TRACTORS, PLANES, GOLF &amp; DAMES&quot; Author DON VOLK'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jJZHpptfkcQ/TcX3Jd5Dp9I/AAAAAAAAAxo/ApfAQSb5Io8/s72-c/DON.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-5165668830896635202</id><published>2011-04-11T15:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-11T15:05:35.915-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"STINGERS" Author W.G.

But not Samantha Conway. Unlike her classmates, she lives in a world of her own. Sam gets her thrills on the baseball field, seeking revenge on the Mack Pack, and playing Town Security. Sam's high level of intelligence, curiosity and moral support from Tyler turns her thrilling adventures into an unforgettable terrifying experience that will get your adrenalin flowing. When Sam's father proudly gives her a new toy, did he put his invention into the wrong hands? What did Sam do with the Sound Shooter, how far did she go, and how far is too far? Sam's new toy offered intriguing possibilities, but did it also direct her to danger? Where did the Mack Pack chase Sam and Tyler, who becomes the predator, and who becomes the prey? Who came up with the plan to become the Stingers? Why did Sam and Tyler go to Jones Beach, who were they looking for? What made Tyler's mom cry uncontrollably, and was Sam's mission accomplished? why did Clemency give Jack and Jimmy back their jobs, with a fifty-percent raise? Who revealed Sam's identity to the mob? Did Sam manipulate Giovanni Scardino, and at what point does adventure turn into chaos? I highly recommend this action-packed novel to all adventure lovers who enjoy loads of unending fun, combined with drama and suspense. W.G. Griffiths takes the reader on one thrilling adventure that begins as delightful, and ends in a heart-pounding chase for survival. The author creates a clever, steadily engrossing thriller that entertains with colorful characters and powerful events page-after-page. How did Sam think that she was helping her father, why did Jack dislike Clemency, and was Jack in danger with Giovanni? Why did Giovanni fake a heart attack, did Tyler discourage Sam from spying at the Scardino estate, and was the Sound Shooter used as a bug for the Mafia? Did Sam find out too much in the conversation that Scardino had with his lawyer? Who saved Tyler's life from drowning, and how did Giovanni find out that Sam was hiding in his yard? How does the Sound Shooter wind up in the hands of a major organized crime boss? The game has ended, the fun is over for Sam and Tyler, time is running out as they run for their lives, who will survive? "STINGERS" is as captivating as WILD AMERICA and is as thrilling as THE JUROR, with Demi Moore, and Alec Baldwin.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5165668830896635202?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5165668830896635202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5165668830896635202' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5165668830896635202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5165668830896635202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/04/5-star-reviewstingers-author-wg.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;STINGERS&quot; Author W.G.

After viewing heart-wrenching movies about Hitler, his soldiers, and what happened to millions of innocent victims is beyond comprehension. The 'hell on earth' as perfectly described as the Holocaust leaves an aftermath in the lives of survivors of a nightmare lived through the worst evil humanity marked in history. Janina Stankiewicz Chung deserves the utmost respect to voice her painful experience to the world, a terrifying reminder of a personal journey in the battle for survival, under the most deplorable conditions known to mankind. The author describes the cold, harsh reality of prison, starvation, and abuse. She not only captures the horror and cruelty that swept through concentration camps, during this dark chapter of history, but conveys how unconditional love became the power of faith and perseverance to survive. The love between Sasha and Anya that they passed on to their family was the strength they held together through the trials-and-tribulations to live. I highly recommend this novel to contemporary historical fiction lovers, and teachers. The story is deeply moving, compelling, educational, and inspiring. Janina Stankiewicz Chung defines hardship, rage and fear through the lives of one family who found a miracle to escape. This tragic story that depicts the terror, brutality and humiliation endured through the lives of one family determined to survive, along with the author's testament about courage is indeed a worthy addition to the literature of the Holocaust. This book is powerful and tugs at the heart as the characters come to life. The descriptive, breathtaking story would make for a magnificent movie, based on overwhelming conditions in a horrific time period. This novel will leave an impression that will last for a lifetime through one story that's never to be forgotten. "FAR EAST OF THE SUN" is as captivating as Steven Spielberg's SURVIVORS OF THE HOLOCAUST.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-8449808334618794043?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/8449808334618794043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=8449808334618794043' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8449808334618794043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8449808334618794043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/04/5-star-reviewfar-east-of-sun-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;FAR EAST OF THE SUN&quot; Author Janina Stankiewicz Chung'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_dpnvkYgDrs/TZ4PVtoIVgI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/rMsV_trNTnU/s72-c/JANINA.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-8052934099725752468</id><published>2011-04-05T13:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-05T13:19:02.193-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"MERRYWEATHER LODGE:Ancient Revenge" Author Pauline Holyoak</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rBIgnBoQPxM/TZt0lVKowcI/AAAAAAAAAwI/MROSnzBiHBI/s1600/51KKT7hTk3L._SL160_AA160_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rBIgnBoQPxM/TZt0lVKowcI/AAAAAAAAAwI/MROSnzBiHBI/s1600/51KKT7hTk3L._SL160_AA160_.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"ONE CREEPY BONE-CHILLING THRILLER THAT WILL LEAVE YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Emily is anxious to visit her aunt and uncle at their cozy cottage, located in the lush English countryside. During her visit, Emily is invited to sleep in the attic. Within a few minutes after her aunt brought her to her room, Emily felt a strange presence behind her, wondering if the experience was simply due to an overtired mind on an exhausting day of travel. As she tried to brush off the events that took place the night before, new events began to torment Emily the next day. What did she see in the mirror, was the doll still sitting on the rocking chair, and why did Wooky hiss and scratch Emily? Who turned the Eliss Family portrait upside down, and what was Emily's first impression of John McArthur? What did Emily feel when she shook hands with Jonathan, and did Emily's curiosity about the woodlot upset her aunt? What was chasing Emily and her aunt through the woods that made Emily extremely apprehensive? Who put the doll in Emily's bed? Emily found herself terrified and trembling, did the mystery that she found have something to do with her? Was Emily hallucinating, or did a ghost hiss at her as a putrid smell filled the room? Did anyone believe Emily, or did they all think that Emily was having nightmares? I highly recommend this spine-tingling novel to all thriller and mystery lovers, who enjoy intense suspense, with a blend of romance and humor. Pauline Holyoak becomes a Master storyteller as she fills each page with love, magic, and horror. The reader is invited to take an unforgettable roller-coaster ride as you witness the same terror as if viewing Hitchcock in his classic tradition. Does Emily become a target by mysterious spirits, while she's determined to unlock hidden secrets? The author paints each page with fantasy, colorful characters, and haunting events that would light up a movie screen. When Emily returns years later to find out the answers, who will be seeking revenge, and does Jonathan guide her in a dangerous mission? "MERRYWEATHER LODGE: Ancient revenge" is as scary as THE GLASS HOUSE, as mesmerizing as EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, and as gripping as DON'T SAY A WORD, with Michael Douglas.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-8052934099725752468?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/8052934099725752468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=8052934099725752468' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8052934099725752468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8052934099725752468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/04/5-star-reviewmerryweather-lodgeancient.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;MERRYWEATHER LODGE:Ancient Revenge&quot; Author Pauline Holyoak'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rBIgnBoQPxM/TZt0lVKowcI/AAAAAAAAAwI/MROSnzBiHBI/s72-c/51KKT7hTk3L._SL160_AA160_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3287330698397913563</id><published>2011-03-28T18:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-28T18:30:11.306-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star~~AMAZON VINE REVIEW~~"LOST AND FOUND: Three By SHAUN TAN"</title><content type='html'>A NY Times Best Illustrated Book of 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publisher's Weekly Best Book of 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaun Tan recently won an Oscar for his story 'THE LOST THING' within the pages of "LOST AND FOUND:Three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GK2VG92km40/TZEwf4IQqrI/AAAAAAAAAv8/4Y5N4OV1MdI/s1600/Lost+%2526+Found+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GK2VG92km40/TZEwf4IQqrI/AAAAAAAAAv8/4Y5N4OV1MdI/s1600/Lost+%2526+Found+3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"BRILLIANT, STUNNING and IMPRESSIVE!" &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"LOST AND FOUND THREE" is entertaining, delightful, and educational. The fascinating presentation within the pages of three thought-provoking stories are illuminated by artwork and incredible illustrations that come to life, while complimenting the mood of each story. 'THE RED TREE' is saturated in emotion, portraying loss, inability to cope, and impending doom. A girl is experiencing a dark, gloomy, dreary day. Will her day become darker, before light is seen at the end of the tunnel? After she feels sadness, disappointment and loss of hope, will anyone come forward to show they care? The graphics within the pages are explicit in describing depression and loneliness. How many faceless people have we seen in our lives? Have you ever experienced the world around you can see everything but you? Where will the one red leaf that fell from 'THE RED TREE' wind up? Each detailed, stylish illustration is not only intelligent, but glows with reality. How blind has society become? Are we so wrapped up in our own little world, that we don't stop to smell the flowers? This story is as emotionally charged as "THE LION KING." A Profound loss explodes within the heartbreaking pages of 'THE RABBITS.' How would you feel to be driven away from your own land? What if outsiders now claim it? A tale of utter sadness, darkness, and loss. Foreigners cause chaos on Australia's land and animals, what decisions can the native people make? This compelling story, painted in doom, portrays as much courage as the free-spirited "POCAHONTAS." Shaun Tan becomes a Master storyteller within the pages of 'THE LOST THING.' A quirky tale about a boy who does notice the odd things that surround him, becomes friends with it, and finds it a home. The astonishing story will indeed encourage the reader to interact and discuss the importance and rewards of friendship and kindness. This amazing story portrays as much sensitivity and curiosity as seen in "CHICKEN LITTLE." What will leave an impression, after reading this story? Is it the sad truth that as the population grows older, the less we see life's beautiful creations? This book is highly recommended for children age ten and up, young adults, and adults. It is an excellent learning tool, with good topics for discussion and is also recommended for teachers, as well as parents. The stories are captivating, bursting with rich imagery, blended with spectacular visual effects.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3287330698397913563?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3287330698397913563/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3287330698397913563' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3287330698397913563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3287330698397913563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/03/5-staramazon-vine-reviewlost-and-found.html' title='5 Star~~AMAZON VINE REVIEW~~&quot;LOST AND FOUND: Three By SHAUN TAN&quot;'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GK2VG92km40/TZEwf4IQqrI/AAAAAAAAAv8/4Y5N4OV1MdI/s72-c/Lost+%2526+Found+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-2033675390202200584</id><published>2011-01-10T14:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-10T14:26:19.806-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" Author JEFFREY B.

At age twelve, John was brave enough to travel into the land of the unknown to confront his father face-to-face, better known as 'The Beast' through John's eyes. John made a secret vow to seek revenge on his abusive father, rescue his sister, and help his mother during a Civil War that threatens not only the land, but the world. As John guides the reader through the battle of horror, with survival as the ultimate goal, he becomes stronger each step of the way as he shares his strength with Ellie, and Marney. The reader can feel his strength as we continue a journey through the wonders of youth, learning life's intense lessons, while absorbing the pleasures of childhood. Can the reader relate to any of the dramatic events that takes place in the land of evil? Does the reader feel hope as the journey continues? Can a parent read through the mind of Ellie? Does Marney learn to treat John with respect, and admiration? I recommend this novel to teens, adults, and all fantasy lovers. Jeffrey B. Allen created a Masterpiece, a captivating story the reader can never forget. The author's wild imagination draws the reader in, like a magnet. The plot is superb, and his charismatic characters come to life. "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" is a riveting tale of not just John's epic journey, but also our journey through life. The vivid description of 'The Beast' is incredible. The remarkable journey is chilling, haunting, and mysterious as it takes the reader to a place with unforgettable consequences. John Greber tugs at the reader's heart as much as Trevor does in 'PAY IT FORWARD.' Jeffrey B. Allen's "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" transforms into an action-packed adventure that explodes into an awe-inspiring experience as if viewing one of Steven Spielberg's finest!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TSuGQSYNg9I/AAAAAAAAAuk/9N5Ee7QKAfY/s1600/jeff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TSuGQSYNg9I/AAAAAAAAAuk/9N5Ee7QKAfY/s1600/jeff.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;http://www.amazon.com&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;http://www.jeffreyballen.com&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-2033675390202200584?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/2033675390202200584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=2033675390202200584' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2033675390202200584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2033675390202200584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/01/5-star-reviewgoneaway-into-land-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND&quot; Author JEFFREY B.

She is trusting, caring, and curious. Before she could learn about childhood happiness, meeting new friends, and social events, her entire world is turned inside out. She is forced to grow up overnight with the responsibility of being caretaker for her mother and sisters as she faces humiliation on the outside, while coping with an extremely dysfunctional family, behind closed doors. The youngest of six children becomes traumatized with hidden horrors as her little eyes can only see chaos, abuse, and addiction. While constantly striving to survive, her world becomes darker and much worse, before she finds a way out. She lived in everyday intense turmoil, insanity, and violence, while desperately attempting to ward off the demons. As she grew older, still searching for answers, she finds herself thriving in the same type of environment from where she grew up. Her childhood memories became nightmares of alcoholism, rape, and eating disorders with the painful reminder of what tomorrow may bring. To make matters worse, while suffering from childhood trauma, she finds herself in a toxic relationship of her own, but begins to see the light before her mother's passing. She holds on tight to a thin rope, while burying her fear of change and finds not only the courage to survive, but the burning desire to help others. Her beacon of hope is the bright light to the candle that Christa Jan Ryan has lit, which will remain burning until eternity, because it sends a message of strength to all those who have not yet seen the light. The heart-wrenching story told from one brave woman who came forward as she reaches out to others with inspiration, instead of sweeping the horrors under the carpet, not only tells the world about her spiritual awakening, but also her heroic escape. The message she gives is one of peace and hope, that if she could find a new beginning after being emotionally abandoned and physically and mentally abused, so can any person who is still living in a traumatized world. I highly recommend this book to all those who are searching for inspirational stories that encourage enlightment, hope, and guidance. The touching story will make you laugh and cry as the author begins to bury the nightmares, while embracing self-love on the road to success. The story is powerfully moving as a crisis in one woman's life sends her on a healing journey that not only repairs old wounds, but one that helps others to walk on the same path. Christa Jan Ryan shows others that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel through her own compelling story, filled with motivation, and courage. "SILENT SCREAMS from the HAMPTONS" is as compelling as 28DAYS, as touching as THE COLOR PURPLE and as emotional as SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY, with Julia Roberts. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-4458976974654400685?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/4458976974654400685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=4458976974654400685' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4458976974654400685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4458976974654400685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/01/5-star-reviewsilent-screams-from.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;SILENT SCREAMS from the HAMPTONS&quot; Author CHRISTA JAN RYAN'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TStLKUFSYxI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/OsgYBDNN3kE/s72-c/21sXjmfhKHL._SL160_AA160_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-684831973927503830</id><published>2011-01-08T13:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-08T13:32:46.322-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"OLIVER'S TALE" Author PAUL A.

Tom-Tom was strong like his dad and Jiffy was simply adorable, but Oliver was patient, intelligent, and compassionate. Although he never realized how strong he really was, his faith in God helped him to pass a test in life that he would never forget, as much as the reader will never forget Oliver. Three Fingers Cove consisted of many families that bonded together in love, happiness, friendship, and harmony. Then one day, that harmony turns into a nightmare, where love turned to fear, and changed the lives of all who lived there forever. This compelling story is a mirror image of what our future may hold, the doubts and mistrust we don't speak of and a reflection of the country we live in, filled with trials-and-tribulations. What would have happened to Oliver if he didn't believe in himself, or had no spiritual growth? Was it his faith that helped him to survive? Paul A. Ibbetson takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride from the country to the city as we are introduced to unforgettable characters who come to life, while witnessing love, hatred, and sacrifice. Tippy Top was the beautiful home for its residents that made Three Fingers Cove a world to be proud of, until destruction and evil invaded peace and tranquility. Oliver was forced to walk on the road of faith, while facing many challenges, and life-threatening situations. I highly recommend this impressive, thrilling adventure to all fiction lovers who enjoy inspiring stories that are combined with politics, love, and war. The author fills the pages with chills, thrills, and drama that explodes from beginning to end. What secret did Sasha hide from Roger? Were the coyotes, foxes, and bobcats more terrifying than the bullies in the Union of the Curly Tail? Who was the worst predator of the forest? What happened to Crom, Grit, and Ruffy? Did the Gray Skunk win the battle, or does he win the war? Who did Ruby create a baby's crib for? What did the dying Opossum tell Oliver, and did this news change Oliver's life? Why did Oliver sneak off to the Ladies Foot in the middle of the night, and what did he witness? Who helped to save Jiffy's life, when he suffered illness with a fever? Does Laura fall in love with Oliver? The animals of the Cove join together to defeat the Gray Skunk in the battle of the Great Second War. As good fights evil, Mr. Muskin dies, and a baby boy is born. Who survives the revolution for freedom, and what price did many pay? What brought Oliver and Jiffy to the city as they face the evils of the tax-collectors, and dangerous gangs? What did Oliver do with the Roughnecks and the Tang Gang? What predators of the forest became Gray Skunk's killing machines? Where did Oliver hide Jiffy as he formed his own army? What did Smelas do to Oliver, how many babies did the Barnabump family lose, and who were the heroes of Tippy Top? Will Three Fingers Cove ever be the same, and what saved Oliver's life as he faced the Gray Skunk face-to-face? "OLIVER'S TALE" is as emotional as THE DEER HUNTER, as entertaining as SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and as thrilling as WE WERE SOLDIERS, with Mel Gibson.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-684831973927503830?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/684831973927503830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=684831973927503830' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/684831973927503830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/684831973927503830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2011/01/5-star-reviewolivers-tale-author-paul.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;OLIVER&apos;S TALE&quot; Author PAUL A.

A story based on corrupt governments, hatred, environmental crisis, and people living under difficult circumstances. This compelling story is woven with the elements that many people live with today in order to survive the trials and tribulations that life throws upon us. Genesis offers a new beginning, but what are the people faced with? The author takes the reader through a breathtaking adventure filled with love, war, courage, compassion and brutality. The issue of controlling life, combined with humanity and survival light up each page from beginning to end. Two flights crash on Genesis, which group of survivors are forced to live under a ruthless dictator? How did Leader and Shawna lose their son, and must they go to war? Where was Deak and Rachel escorted to, and did they ever see their son? What were the rules of the Federation, and what criminal acts did they commit? What was Dean and Rachel's only way out, and did Dean's plan work? Were the lives of the board members in the Federation controlled? What did George do to Dean and Rachel, and what happened to George? I highly recommend this compelling novel to all science fiction lovers, who enjoy mesmerizing stories filled with suspense, drama, and a blend of romance. Did the Federation create a clone of Joseph Lightsayer, and what was their motive? Was Joseph killed, or did he survive? Was profit the top priority for the Federation? Did the competition for jobs become another war? How many survived from Starship thirty-three, and how did the survivors aboard flight twenty-nine adapt to their new life? What was the difference between Oxxtown and Castletown? What group did THE PACK not understand, and where were their pups taken to? If the events ever came true as witnessed in this thrilling story, what would our future hold? Where would we go as population increases, environment is destroyed and resources dwindle down to nothing, what would we do to survive? Marc Douglas becomes a Master storyteller on space travel, political corruption and terrorism in a remarkable adventure that the reader could never forget. As the clock ticks and time moves on, will hope bring new life? Who was controlling the population of Castletown? What did THE PACK sense about the colony led by Lothar and Hunter? Did Leader trust Long Hair and her mate? Where was Max taken to, and did he ever see his wife again? What did Rock's mother teach him? Wonder turns to horror as the ships crash in this electrifying novel, made for the movie screen.

How could these artifacts exist, and will a mystery be solved, or is there a plan to destroy another society? The students continue their mission with assistance from Bob and Jack to research the significant findings, but do not share any information with the Professor. Did the Professor intend to ruin the lives of Mitch and Alex, so that he could take all the credit? Could the Professor be trusted, and was he jealous? What secret is hidden in the desert sands as the characters come to life, along with ancient civilization? I highly recommend this spellbinding adventure that spotlights archaeological theories as it takes the reader on a thrill ride, to all lovers of the ancient world who enjoy mystery and suspense with a blend of humor and romance. The interesting characters, along with a fascinating plot capture the reader's attention from beginning to end, while fueling the imagination as you crave for more with a burning desire for the next episode. Rai Aren and Tavius E. takes the reader back twelve-thousand years to the origins of the artifacts through ancient history and excitement as they create one of the Greatest stories ever told! The two authors become Master storytellers through detailed research and fantasy with an incredible imagination in an adventure made for the movie screen. A painting is made with metaphysical and mystical happenings, and the portrait is colored with past and present archaeology of Egypt. The mesmerizing story is clear and concise with all of Egypt's glory, leaving the reader in pure contentment. What kind of power was found in this relic? How old is the Great Sphinx as mysteries blow through the desert wind? How many years do we go back to meet the royal family of King Traeus? Who were the builders of the pyramids? When did deceit and adultery exist? What did the book from a cylinder found by Alex and Mitch symbolize? What did the dreams that Alex had represent? How old are the scrolls, and what language are they written in? "SECRET OF THE SANDS" is as intelligent as CLEOPATRA, as entertaining as STARGATE and as captivating as THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, with Charlton Heston, and Yul Brynner.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3406015089116492253?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3406015089116492253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3406015089116492253' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3406015089116492253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3406015089116492253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/12/5-star-reviewsecret-of-sands-rai-aren.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;SECRET of the SANDS&quot; RAI AREN &amp; TAVIUS E.'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TRo6cTpyUvI/AAAAAAAAAtY/Sz5jSJPFNr0/s72-c/RAI.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-4242044811182391436</id><published>2010-12-26T16:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-26T16:28:47.645-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"SHATTERED GLASS" Author AC KATT</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;AMAZON'S MOST HELPFUL FAVORABLE REVIEW!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TRfZffaij4I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/bNmrjUilDoo/s1600/MARY.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TRfZffaij4I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/bNmrjUilDoo/s1600/MARY.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"COMPELLING, SUSPENSEFUL, and GRIPPING!"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Milo and Liam knew what they wanted from childhood. Along the road to fame and fortune, the love they shared together grew stronger-and-stronger as their Rock band became more popular. However, little did they know, that the empire they built, along with their loving bond was soon to be destroyed through vengeance and vicious lies. A psychopath continues to play his deadly game of manipulation on a mission to tear apart a loving relationship, and everything that Liam worked for. The evil, blackmailing stalker wins the dangerous game, but not the war. How long was Milo worried about his image and his secret love affair? How long was Liam unhappy that his secret was locked up in a closet? How long will Liam be tormented physically and mentally, before he can live life once again? How far will Bart go with his unstable mind and twisted personality? Who will survive the abuse, and will life ever be the same for Milo and Liam? This novel is recommended for music loving adults, who enjoy love stories that are provocative and filled with powerful images, with a blend of mystery. AC Katt wrote a dark, compelling story that will leave the reader on the edge of his seat from beginning to end. The spellbinding journey of the lives of the Rock stars and their fatal mistakes takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride through the power of love, horror, and forgiveness. After six years, what will it take to rebuild what Milo and Liam once had? Will revenge, anger, and greed win the battle, or will love blossom in the healing process? "SHATTERED GLASS" is as haunting as THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, as emotional as the movie AS GOOD AS IT GETS and as powerful as SLEEPERS, with Robert Deniro, and Dustin Hoffman.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-4242044811182391436?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/4242044811182391436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=4242044811182391436' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4242044811182391436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4242044811182391436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/12/5-star-reviewshattered-glass-author-ac.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;SHATTERED GLASS&quot; Author AC KATT'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TRfZffaij4I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/bNmrjUilDoo/s72-c/MARY.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-449223566732659574</id><published>2010-12-19T11:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-19T11:58:14.536-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"CHARLENE THE STAR" Author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TQ5cIrKipqI/AAAAAAAAAtE/QdUPFE5IAAs/s1600/frontcovercopy2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TQ5cIrKipqI/AAAAAAAAAtE/QdUPFE5IAAs/s200/frontcovercopy2.jpg" width="124" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;"IRRESISTIBLE FUN, EDUCATIONAL AND INSPIRING!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;When Charlene was born, her mother taught her all about life, and how to live it in happiness and fulfillment. Although Charlene was as beautiful as her big brother, Charlie, they both looked different. Charlie and his mom had black hair, but Charlene had shiny red hair. Charlie had white stockings, but Charlene didn't. As Charlene grew older, she learned that everyone, including her family and friends may look different, but are all unique in their own special way. Born into a family of famous race-horses, Charlene was convinced to follow the footsteps of fame and success in the same path that her family took. However, at a young age, Charlene knew what direction she wanted to go, but it wasn't the same direction that her parents and Charlie took. It was easy for Charlene to follow her dream, but very difficult to confess to her family that racing wasn't her dream or talent, and that she found it boring. Charlene's dream wasn't the same dream that her mother had for her, but her mother was her best friend, and she didn't want to disappoint her. Charlene's mother and her brother taught her that she must attempt to try racing as a test to see how good she would be. Unlike Charlie, Charlene protested with temper tantrums, but fulfilled her duties to make a decision after trying, with respect to her family. Charlene complimented Charlie, Ann, and Blossom for their fine work at Sweetbrier racing stable, knowing her talent was right across the street. Almost everyone that Charlene knew wanted to be a famous racehorse, just like Charlie. But no-one knew that Charlene's talent was quite different, except Charlene, Eva, and Ted. One of the happiest days in Charlene's life was being moved to 'Jumping For Joy Farm.' She finally began to follow her dream to the road of success, but was also away from her family and friends. With Elliot as her companion and new friend, she no longer felt lonely, and was able to focus on her work. Why was Charlene doing crow hops and yawning, when she was supposed to be racing with Ann and Blossom? How did Charlie respond when Charlene told him that she was embarrassed that she was last at the finish line? How did Charlene do at her First Real Jump? I highly recommend this book to children, parents, and teachers. Deanie fills each page with motivation and inspiration. This easy to read children's book is delightful and educational as it teaches young children to reach for the stars, and follow their dreams. The author teaches the young reader how to follow the footsteps of a good role model, and the importance of doing your best, regardless of which career path you choose. More important, with time and patience, out talents will blossom in our special place in the world. Did Elliot's friendship and Mary's praise make Charlene feel proud? How did Charlene do at the Sterling Club? Was number thirteen a lucky number for Charlene? How did Charlene's goals and dreams differ from the dreams Charlie had at her age?

Inspired by Issac Asimov, Starta's fascinating imagination explodes page-after-page in this incredible bone-chilling thriller that makes this author a Master storyteller as he gives terror a new name. Prepare yourself for the fright of your life as dread and evil blossom through nail-biting suspense! Detective Sam Benson has no love for androids, becomes obsessed with investigating them, and cannot comprehend why they exist, or the reasons why machines are their gods. The relentless detective in his ruthless behavior, desperately attempts to solve a series of brutal murders, but the pieces to the puzzle are not fitting as Ceres becomes a nightmare that only Gary Starta could create. This novel explores the relationship between man and machines as it sends chills up your spine, while introducing sizzling romance. The CSI is working on the puzzle in unsolved murders as the killers are still on the loose, while new homicides continue to be added to the list as fast as you can blink your eye. Why did Starkman become a suspect, and what did Benson accuse him of doing? Was Ms. Lopez struck by lightning, and was she guilty of any crimes? Who did Sam trust, why was he so overprotective, and what did he witness during childhood? Suspects continue to multiply as fast as new investigations, while creatures play a grueling game in the dark of night. What kind of government ruling was mandated for Ceres couples, and did most obey? The reader is introduced to forensic examinations, homicidal puzzles, and fright night on an unforgettable flight. What happened to Chen, and Payne? Will a wedding take place as Benson deals with politics, greed, and conspiracy? What happened to Carol Walker, and was Dean a witness, or a suspect? I highly recommend this novel to all thriller and science fiction lovers, who enjoy mystery, with a blend of romance. The story is intelligent, and the suspense is electrifying. Did Sam and Sandra find much more than peace and tranquility on this new planet, and what does it do to their relationship? "GODS OF THE MACHINES" is as haunting as THE AMITYVILLE HORROR and as gripping as DON'T SAY A WORD, with Michael Douglas.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-4220219296367949770?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/4220219296367949770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=4220219296367949770' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4220219296367949770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4220219296367949770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-star-reviewgods-of-machines-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;GODS OF THE MACHINES&quot; Author GARY STARTA'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TOcTTufjkwI/AAAAAAAAArk/lmZkzKeca_k/s72-c/GARY-GODS.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-344617171638238936</id><published>2010-11-14T14:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-14T14:24:19.575-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"CHARLIE THE HORSE" Author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TOBcjmP9NZI/AAAAAAAAArc/oRnbecfKD-g/s1600/Charlie+The+Horse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" px="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TOBcjmP9NZI/AAAAAAAAArc/oRnbecfKD-g/s1600/Charlie+The+Horse.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"A DELIGHTFUL ADVENTURE!"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Charlie was born in Kentucky, and grew up at Racing Haven Farm. His proud mom nurtured him, taught him what to eat, and showed him where to run. She introduced Charlie to other foals, and General Quick, who was a famous retired racehorse. Charlie wanted to be as famous as his dad, but knew he had to learn about&amp;nbsp;running skills from&amp;nbsp;the General. His best friends were Glory, and Buddy. After running around the pasture with his friends, he gained confidence to reach his goals, and follow his dream. How did Charlie feel when he was informed that he had to leave his mother and friends behind, when it was time to go to the training farm? Who taught Charlie that he had to overcome his fears, and what did he do at Sweetbrier Racing Stable? Did Charlie stay focused with weights on his back, a saddle, and a girth? What did Misty and Kerry teach Charlie, and was he focused? How did Charlie respond to the sound of a loud bell, and did he obey to the commands of cantering, trotting, and galloping? What was the reason for blinkers, and what happened at Delmar Race? At age two, Charlie ran at the Donley Fair Race, was he scared, and did he win? Why did a blacksmith have to take care of Charlie, after this race? Where did Charlie become one of the best racehorses, and what was different about Woodmont Stakes day? Did Charlie ever become a champion, and when did he return home to visit his mother, his new baby sister, and his friends? How many races did Charlie compete in with Buddy? I highly recommend this fascinating book to children, parents, and teachers. The story is educational as Deanie Humphrys-Dunne points to the importance of discipline, confidence, and persistence. The main character Charlie is adorable, talented, and amusing. The author encourages children to work hard at reaching their goals, overcome their fears, and believe in themselves. Did Charlie become another Charles The Great, and did he follow his passion to reach his dream? "CHARLIE THE HORSE" is as entertaining as Little House On The Prairie, and as inspiring as "BLACK BEAUTY."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-344617171638238936?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/344617171638238936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=344617171638238936' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/344617171638238936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/344617171638238936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-star-reviewcharlie-horse-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;CHARLIE THE HORSE&quot; Author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TOBcjmP9NZI/AAAAAAAAArc/oRnbecfKD-g/s72-c/Charlie+The+Horse.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3482140450071239655</id><published>2010-11-09T15:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-09T15:58:44.910-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"HELL KNIGHT" Author Charles Spencer</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"MYSTERIOUS, CHILLING, AND COMPELLING!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNnYY6Sp8JI/AAAAAAAAArU/UNGrff-YdXY/s1600/charles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" px="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNnYY6Sp8JI/AAAAAAAAArU/UNGrff-YdXY/s1600/charles.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yuki Hinomoto comes to life as the main character in "HELL KNIGHT." She arrives in the heart of God's country, naked, and possessed with demon powers, beyond your wildest imagination. The mysterious woman, haunted by her past, plans to commit a series of bloody massacres as "HELL KNIGHT" begins. A police detective desperately attempts to seek answers as to why the chaos is happening, but realizes that his own hands are tied in preventing disaster, or having the ability to solve the case. During her mission from Hell, Yuki introduces herself to gangsters, demanding to be served. After her proof of horrifying acts, and demonic powers, she's in full control of her hostages. Charles Spencer takes the reader into the haunted house of horror, as Yuki begins her ugly, battle of revenge against the world of mortals. During a conspiracy of demons determined to rule the world, Yuki's power of the super warrior begins to take control, while she vows to keep her eternal promise to her lover, Angela Ramirez. I highly recommend "HELL KNIGHT" to mature readers, and to those who enjoy horror stories with a blend of fantasy, and mystery. The terror in this story grabs the reader's attention as if you were viewing "INDEPENDENCE DAY" while destruction beams, during invasion of the human race. The wicked character of Yuki is as scary and haunting as that of Al Pacino in "THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE." The drama in "HELL KNIGHT" is as chilling as viewing "CAPE FEAR." The author leaves the terrifying ending open with the possibility of another fright-night to continue from the bizarre, relentless, and tormenting performance in the reader's memory of "HELL KNIGHT." The dread, evil, and destruction that takes place in this novel is as good as Steven King's, "THE LANGOLIERS." Before the curtains are drawn as "HELL KNIGHT" comes to an end, the reader is left with the same haunting memory of Yuki in comparison to Anthony Hopkins, after viewing "THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3482140450071239655?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3482140450071239655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3482140450071239655' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3482140450071239655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3482140450071239655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-star-reviewhell-knight-author-charles.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;HELL KNIGHT&quot; Author Charles Spencer'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNnYY6Sp8JI/AAAAAAAAArU/UNGrff-YdXY/s72-c/charles.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-8479164698322062733</id><published>2010-11-07T11:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-07T11:31:10.182-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"DRAGON'S BREATH" Author MJ ALLAIRE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNb5vQbwiXI/AAAAAAAAArQ/z9Id_thspJ0/s1600/DRAGON.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" px="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNb5vQbwiXI/AAAAAAAAArQ/z9Id_thspJ0/s1600/DRAGON.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"A COMPLETE TRIUMPH!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;In book four of the Denicalis Dragon Chronicles series, the reader is invited to follow a group of curious children who set out on a mission to find not only each other, but also the amulets, while finding a solution to save the dragons from evil forces that rule through greed and power. Will the children succeed through trust and determination as they follow their destiny, or will their efforts become 'Mission Impossible!' Why did the girls trust Kennard, and was he a slimy frog, or a muck dragon? Was an evil spell casted upon Kennard, and by whom? Will the girls be able to save Gruffod, and what was Lotor's intentions? Why is Nivri searching for the missing amulets, and were the dragons able to communicate with each other? What happened to Kennard when he tried to escape at an attempt for freedom, and was a bird laughing at him? How will the girls get to the other side of the mountain? Will they find food to satisfy hunger, and will Tonia ever see her brothers again? Were the rats and turtles Kennard's friends, and did they help the girls? Who provided lights for the girls as their journey began, and who guided the way? This novel is highly recommended for all fantasy lovers. MJ Allaire takes the reader through another spectacular adventure that not only young adults would appreciate, but parents and teachers as well. The incredible story is educational as magic fills the air, while mystical creatures come to life. Time is running out as the mysterious quest continues. The clock is ticking too fast, who will survive, and who will die? Will the journey end with a treasure of memories, or will it end in a nightmare? Why did the Ring of Alyshana strike an emotional chord in Kennard, and did it have special powers? Why was Zacharu held as a prisoner? Two prisoners found freedom, who were they? Will the missing stones be found? What happens to Kennard, after the girls make it through the mountain, and who will be grieving? This book will indeed capture the imagination as the reader travels through a life-endangering odyssey. "DRAGON'S BREATH" is enchanting, delightful, and as thrilling as WILD AMERICA!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-8479164698322062733?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/8479164698322062733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=8479164698322062733' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8479164698322062733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8479164698322062733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-star-reviewdragons-breath-author-mj.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;DRAGON&apos;S BREATH&quot; Author MJ ALLAIRE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNb5vQbwiXI/AAAAAAAAArQ/z9Id_thspJ0/s72-c/DRAGON.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-7477883362089672976</id><published>2010-11-04T13:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T13:22:31.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"A THIRST FOR WAR" Author Raymond Gustavson</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"AMAZON'S MOST HELPFUL FAVORABLE REVIEW!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNMP-X9tHDI/AAAAAAAAArE/8irzFdJVhEE/s1600/RAY.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" px="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNMP-X9tHDI/AAAAAAAAArE/8irzFdJVhEE/s1600/RAY.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"THE STRENGTH TO TRIUMPH OVER AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE WITH HONOR, DECENCY, AND COURAGE!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;John Ulysses Martin had a dream at the age of ten and he finally had the opportunity to fulfill that dream as he marched off to war with his students, while facing the harsh reality of combat as he witnessed the death of his friends, and the cries of the wounded, and dying. What was Professor Martin's motto, before joining the war, and did his opinion change after serving his country? What did John do to earn the rank of Lieutenant, after digging a grave for Curley, while his hands trembled? Did his dream turn into a nightmare of despair, horror, and sorrow?

Does Lydia marry Lieutenant Wallace, what happened to her brothers, and how did she react, after John told her that he was joining Lee's army? I highly recommend this action-packed novel to all historical fiction lovers. Raymond Gustavson takes you into the middle of the battlefield and shows you the fight, while defining the brutal realities of war. This incredible story about history illuminates the life of heroism, love, and courage. The author created a Masterpiece, based on the expert knowledge of pre-Civil War, commitment, and sacrifice. This novel is impressive, is a page turner from beginning to end, and is indeed fit for the movie screen. What happened to George, and Smiley? Will the Yankees blame John for the murder of Haddonfield? What happened to Mr. Fred as John prayed for the fighting to cease? Who helps John escape from prison as tension reaches its highest peak, during an era of conflict and slavery as families are torn apart? The story is unforgettable, the characters come to life, and the conclusion is explosive. "A THIRST FOR WAR" is as entertaining as GONE WITH THE WIND, as dramatic as Steven Spielberg's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, and is as emotional as THE DEER HUNTER, with Robert Deniro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7477883362089672976?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7477883362089672976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7477883362089672976' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7477883362089672976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7477883362089672976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-star-reviewa-thirst-for-war-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;A THIRST FOR WAR&quot; Author Raymond Gustavson'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TNMP-X9tHDI/AAAAAAAAArE/8irzFdJVhEE/s72-c/RAY.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-842897073253193064</id><published>2010-11-01T16:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-01T16:31:08.440-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"TAILS OF SWEETBRIER" Author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"A TRULY SPECTACULAR STORY OF STRENGTH, PASSION, and COURAGE!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TM9MLDymsjI/AAAAAAAAAq4/VkVa7YeE4Es/s1600/TRAILS-DEANIE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nx="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TM9MLDymsjI/AAAAAAAAAq4/VkVa7YeE4Es/s1600/TRAILS-DEANIE.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;What if you had a dream that you wanted nothing more than to ride horses, but didn't begin to walk until age four? How would you feel as a parent to be told that your child would never be able to walk? How would you feel living on a farm, gazing at beautiful horses everyday, while wishing and praying that you were one of the riders? How would you feel if walking is a difficult task, but you are very eager to ride a horse? A young girl is determined to follow her dream, regardless of the risk involved. Sweetbrier was her life, and her heart was filled with passion to become a champion horseback rider. What did the diagnosis of cerebral palsy mean to one compassionate father, who encouraged his daughter to fight the odds? Are the memories of a sprawling, yellow Victorian house in rolling green pastures a treasure to the children who grew up there, and what adventures will they always remember? How many countless times did Deanie fall off of Little Man, and what did her father do? What code did Deanie use to give Chiefie a carrot when he was in his stall, and did they go to exhibitions together? What happened to Chiefie and Jubilee, after fire broke out in the barn? Does the Humphrys family give up, or do they build a new barn? How old was Holly when she began to ride horses? After surgery, crutches, and the use of a cane, does Deanie ride Peach? Who took First Place in the Reserve Champions at Mrs. Foster's Farm, and who was the rider? I highly recommend this book to children, parents, and teachers. Deanie Humphrys-Dunne wrote a truly spectacular story of strength, passion, and courage. The characters come to life, as well as the unique illustrations. The author points out the value of family and friendship, while motivating others to reach for their dream, despite obstacles that may have to be battled with along the way. Furthermore, Deanie Humphrys-Dunne encourages discipline, high self-esteem, and a positive attitude throughout this compelling story. The author motivates children to overcome their fears, achieve their goals, and follow their dreams. "TAILS OF SWEETBRIER" tugs at the heart, is as captivating as RADIO, and as inspiring as FORREST GUMP, with Tom Hanks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TM9NKWymUiI/AAAAAAAAAq8/KZXQnvdjHzw/s1600/Holly_portrait.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TM9NKWymUiI/AAAAAAAAAq8/KZXQnvdjHzw/s320/Holly_portrait.jpg" width="247" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ILLUSTRATOR/HOLLY HUMPHRYS-BAJAJ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-842897073253193064?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/842897073253193064/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=842897073253193064' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/842897073253193064'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/842897073253193064'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/11/5-star-reviewtails-of-sweetbrier-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;TAILS OF SWEETBRIER&quot; Author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TM9MLDymsjI/AAAAAAAAAq4/VkVa7YeE4Es/s72-c/TRAILS-DEANIE.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-2683899642233136395</id><published>2010-10-29T19:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-29T19:41:20.257-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"MY BLISSFUL LIFE AS A SUBMARINER'S WIFE" Author MJ ALLAIRE</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grizlegirlproductions.com/"&gt;http://www.grizlegirlproductions.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TMuFhY9iQ9I/AAAAAAAAAqo/oYYwtSM-vb4/s1600/MO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nx="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TMuFhY9iQ9I/AAAAAAAAAqo/oYYwtSM-vb4/s1600/MO.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;"EMOTIONAL, HEARTFELT, and ENTERTAINING!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;What would it be like to live the life as a military dependent? How would it feel to live thousands of miles away from your family, and friends? How would a young mother deal with trials and tribulations of raising a family, while constantly moving from one location to another? How many countless times will you be packing your belongings, because your husband was ordered to move to another city, state, or country? How does one balance financial needs, responsibility of child-care, strength to keep the family unit together, while living a part-time marriage and serving your country? MJ Allaire, a Veteran of the United States Navy, takes the reader behind the scenes through experience as she walks you through an emotional, spiritual journey. Will she always remember the task of walking up-and-down twenty-six floors in an apartment, while carrying groceries, because three elevators broke? What made her go home with Meatball, and did Penny compensate for those lonely days when a companion was needed? How does one survive raising three young children a million miles away from immediate family, while contemplating divorce? Colic, sleep apnea and ruptured appendix are traumatic events in our lives that we always remember, but imagine the fear of possibly facing the next disaster alone? I highly recommend this book to anyone who is living the military life, and to women who wish to become inspired by following the footsteps of the author's positive attitude on life's journey. This novel is based on the author's personal experiences, a glance at Navy life, and the survival of unexpected storms that hit us hard. MJ Allaire wrote an insightful story through an emotional and spiritual journey as we look inside the life of military dependents. The reader will laugh and cry along the way as the author points out the struggles and challenges that were made, while striving for stability, and praying for strength. More important, the author discusses how we learn from our mistakes, and why communication is the golden key in personal relationships. Is becoming a parent for the first time really like playing with dolls? If we found ourselves in the same situation twice in our lives, would we react differently? Almost anything that breaks in a home can be repaired, but how long does it take to repair a broken heart? If we had one chance to relive our lives, what would we change? "MY BLISSFUL LIFE AS A SUBMARINER'S WIFE" is impressive, as emotional as STEPMOM, and as entertaining as ERIN BROCKOVICH, with Julia Roberts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-2683899642233136395?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/2683899642233136395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=2683899642233136395' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2683899642233136395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2683899642233136395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-star-reviewmy-blissful-life-as.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;MY BLISSFUL LIFE AS A SUBMARINER&apos;S WIFE&quot; Author MJ ALLAIRE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TMuFhY9iQ9I/AAAAAAAAAqo/oYYwtSM-vb4/s72-c/MO.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-1701077579685195116</id><published>2010-10-26T16:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-26T16:43:27.556-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"MEET POOKY: The New Kid" Author/Illustrator Domonique Mayhawk</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;"DELIGHTFUL, EDUCATIONAL, and ENTERTAINING!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TMdmyCWN-DI/AAAAAAAAAqc/U8LKPD6j4oQ/s1600/POOKY+The+NEW+Kid.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" nx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TMdmyCWN-DI/AAAAAAAAAqc/U8LKPD6j4oQ/s1600/POOKY+The+NEW+Kid.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Pooky was popular in Detroit, and played fun games with many friends. She loved the block parties on her street, running after the ice cream truck everyday, jumping rope, and singing. Her favorite games she enjoyed were hopscotch, and Hula-hoop. She didn't mind the old broken-down homes in Detroit, or playing in an abandoned house on her birthday, friendship was more important. A fun day for Pooky was getting wet with her friends as a fire hydrant sprinkled water on a hot, summer day. She will always remember the barbecues, Kool-aid drinks, sharing ice cream with King and the sound of happiness as children filled the street with skates, and shooting hoops. Then one day, Pooky and her mother moved to Ann Arbor, which instantly changed Pooky's life. What will the first day of school be like with Ms. Penny? Is Pooky laughing with her classmates, or are they laughing at her? What did Rodney tease Pooky about? Why was Sheila jealous of Pooky? How did Candy make a difference in Pooky's new lifestyle? I highly recommend this book to parents, child-care providers, and teachers. The author wrote an inspiring, educational, and uplifting story. The main character is Pooky, an adorable little girl, filled with spirit, and motivation. Domonique Mayhawk created colorful illustrations page-after-page as each character comes to life. The importance of a social life, self-esteem, and confidence blossom throughout the story. It is indeed a children's book that should sit on the library shelf, ready to be enjoyed by many children and families who moved from one location to another. Will Pooky fit in with her friends in the second-grade? Did Pooky's mother help play a part in her daughter's social life? How many children liked french braids, and who braided their hair? Where did Pooky catch bees, and did she miss it? Who did Pooky go to the park with, to play on the swings, and build sculptures in the sand? Who becomes Pooky's new best friend in Ann Arbor, and does Pooky survive the traumatic transition of moving to a new world? "MEET POOKY: The New Kid" is as entertaining as Walt Disney's CHICKEN LITTLE, as delightful as SHREK THE THIRD, and as captivating as THE LION KING. Follow the new path that Pooky takes as she claims her place in the 'Circle Of Life!'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-1701077579685195116?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/1701077579685195116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=1701077579685195116' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/1701077579685195116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/1701077579685195116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-star-reviewmeet-pooky-new-kid.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;MEET POOKY: The New Kid&quot; Author/Illustrator Domonique Mayhawk'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TMdmyCWN-DI/AAAAAAAAAqc/U8LKPD6j4oQ/s72-c/POOKY+The+NEW+Kid.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-6873596069106623601</id><published>2010-10-16T15:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-16T15:48:17.170-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"REPAIRING RAINBOWS" Author LYNDA FISHMAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"REPAIRING RAINBOWS: A True Story Of Family, Tragedy and Choices"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://repairingrainbows.com/buy.php"&gt;http://repairingrainbows.com/buy.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TLoql_O8kRI/AAAAAAAAAqU/ZVuTvSeyRjI/s1600/Repairing+Rainbows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TLoql_O8kRI/AAAAAAAAAqU/ZVuTvSeyRjI/s1600/Repairing+Rainbows.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;"A REMARKABLE TRIUMPHANT STORY FULL OF SPIRIT!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Lynda, Carla, and Wendy grew up in a home that was filled with riches. Their parents were not rich with money, but with love and happiness, which they shared with their family. There was never a dull moment, from smelling the aroma of delicious dinners coming from the kitchen, to hearing the dance steps of little feet as entertainment was performed with joy. The children knew a mother, who had a heart of gold, and a father who loved to giggle at his own jokes. Memories with relatives at celebrations was a gift in itself, and a bond of happiness within one family was priceless. The sweet tunes of music echoed through their home, and laughter could be heard miles away. Lynda Fishman knew the perfect family life that many children today can only dream about having, until that horrific phone call was received, and tragedy changed her life forever. Can you imagine at age thirteen, finding out that your mother and siblings were killed in a plane crash? Can you imagine the pain that Lynda and her father endured, not knowing what to do first? A young girl, now distraught over loss of loved ones is forced to deal with many challenges. Will her father ever be the same man she once knew? Who will make crucial decisions for survival in their shattered lives? Can the agonizing memories of funerals, sorrow, and hardship ever be erased from their lives? Where does one begin as her home is transformed from comfort and joy, to despair and silence? Will the terrifying sounds of crying block the laughter that once echoed through the house? I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to be inspired to overcome their own struggles from the most difficult time in their lives. The author created a Masterpiece made for the movie screen from a remarkable true story of family, love, and survival. The reader is taken on an emotional roller-coaster ride through one family that becomes traumatized with terror and filled with anger, while searching for hope. Lynda Fishman begins to focus on determination and strength to fight the obstacles of pity and loss in her own spiritual journey. Is it possible with perseverance, courage and passion to help others, to be able to live life once again? If so, what better role model would there be to follow than Lynda Fishman? The author penned an unforgettable story of courage, strength and hope through a challenging journey of a lost childhood, to a rewarding adulthood. The incredible story is appealing, and compelling. "REPAIRING RAINBOWS: A True Story Of Family, Tragedy and Choices" is as touching as GHOST, as powerfully moving as JACOB the LIAR and as captivating as REMEMBER THE TITANS, with Denzel Washington.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-6873596069106623601?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/6873596069106623601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=6873596069106623601' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6873596069106623601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6873596069106623601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-star-reviewrepairing-rainbows-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;REPAIRING RAINBOWS&quot; Author LYNDA FISHMAN'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TLoql_O8kRI/AAAAAAAAAqU/ZVuTvSeyRjI/s72-c/Repairing+Rainbows.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-101079865653934045</id><published>2010-08-23T12:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-23T12:59:59.154-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"METHUSELAH'S PILLAR" Author W.G.

Griffiths takes the reader on a fascinating journey that will send chills up your spine as you sit on the edge of your seat from beginning to end in a guessing game that makes you keep asking page-after-page, what horrific bit of evidence will pop up next? What kind of powers will the pillar infect the world with, and who will grab it? As the reader is introduced to ancient wells, enemies in Afghanistan and the translation of early writings, the characters come to life in a deadly game that becomes an obsession as the world begins to shatter like broken glass. Samantha finds herself playing monkey in the middle as danger becomes more intense, while the heart-pounding race between the CIA and the terrorist insurgents continue through unstoppable action that explodes like fireworks on each and every page of a thrill ride that will cause an adrenaline rush. What happens to John Decker, after he is taken hostage? Who will unlock the mystical, magical secrets of the pillar first, and will evil spread through the midst of a battle where the clock is ticking fast? I highly recommend this captivating, high-adrenaline, spectacular thriller to all suspense lovers. The author is a mystical mastermind who did everything in his power to create an incredible thrill ride with relentless action through an unforgettable plot made for the movie screen. The reader will witness descriptive ancient artifacts, biblical legends, international espionage and horrifying intentions from a terrorist group as deadly plagues and immortality reaches its highest peak in a gripping story through a compelling journey of the past and present. "METHUSELAH'S PILLAR" contains as much danger as TOP GUN, is as riveting as ARMAGEDDON and as thrilling as THE ROCK, with Hollywood superstar Sean Connery.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-101079865653934045?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/101079865653934045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=101079865653934045' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/101079865653934045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/101079865653934045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/08/5-star-reviewmethuselahs-pillar-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~&quot;METHUSELAH&apos;S PILLAR&quot; Author W.G.

Once again, the reader becomes addicted to this entertaining story in a New Mexico setting that only Miller can create with flavor, detailed with perfection. The author's voice is genuine, his stories are convincing, and he has the ability to capture the reader's interest within the first two pages. Jonathan Miller's expertise as a practicing attorney in criminal law adds drama to the story as he tells it with light humor and intense suspense at the same time. His unique writing style is captivating, clever, and impressive. I highly recommend this novel to all mystery and thriller lovers, who enjoy a combination of chills and thrills, blended with humor, and packed with action. Was the daughter of Luna Cruz kidnapped, and where was she taken to? How significant is the phone call from a mystery woman that Dan received, and what is his next move? What decision does Dan make, and is time on his side? Miller's wit, crisp dialogue, and companion CD of music for this novel adds spice to the story as twists-and-turns in the plot makes the reader crave for more. Dan Shepard and Luna Cruz join together in another legal thriller that Miller wrote with mounting evidence in a gripping tale with perfect geography that not only makes the characters hard to forget, but also the enchanting story. This novel is a top notch legal thriller, written with quality and perfection that only Jonathan Miller can Master in the world of mystery. Who is Alejandro, and what did he ask Dan to do? Who was known as Judge Looney Toons, and why did some inmates resent her? Who was Jen waving to, and why was she pacing back-and-forth outside? Why did Jen request to check on Denise, and what upset Jen's mother? Who destroyed Nurse Song's home? How old is Jen's daughter, and is she autistic, or retarded? Where did Dan get a speeding ticket, and where was he going? Who was Tyrone Johnson, and whose suit was he wearing? Who did Dan pay his last respects to at the Japanese Gardens? Who is Benally, and did he plead to armed robbery, attempted murder, or kidnapping? Who is Anastasia, and was she charged with a new felony? Who is Nastia, and did she work at the Ends Zone? Was romance in the air as two lovebirds reunite, who were they? Jump into this action packed roller-coaster ride through the dark side of the law as you witness scary events and creepy suspense throughout this addicting thriller! "CONFLICT CONTRACT" will keep you guessing to the end as in ALONG CAME A SPIDER and is as cleverly entertaining as THE GREEN MILE, with Tom Hanks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7585148467772203686?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7585148467772203686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7585148467772203686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7585148467772203686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7585148467772203686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/06/5-star-reviewconflict-contract.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;CONFLICT CONTRACT&quot; Author/Attorney JONATHAN MILLER'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TCkRth2WDmI/AAAAAAAAAlk/7Ark7SpH2bI/s72-c/JON%27S+BOOK.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-7953262473624516866</id><published>2010-06-22T17:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T17:39:17.545-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"VALANTINUS: Blood Brothers" Author ZIANA DE BETHUNE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TCFXDIcimwI/AAAAAAAAAks/Nsc3W2_P19M/s1600/BLOOD.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" ru="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TCFXDIcimwI/AAAAAAAAAks/Nsc3W2_P19M/s200/BLOOD.bmp" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"SHOCKINGLY POWERFUL and SPELLBINDING!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First born as a human in Egypt, known as Maya and reincarnated forty-six times, Valantinus Ragvaldsson makes Anthony Hopkins look like an angel in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. What happened on August tenth, when Valantinus only had moments left to find a host for his spirit, and who was Louisa? Where were the screams of a baby heard from, and who was the mother of the infant? Who was the twin of Valantinus gazing at, and was he also a blood drinker? Although Valantinus lived without moral consciousness, was he aware that he was deceiving himself? Since Valantinus was the Governor, who was supposed to obey his orders? Who was Daniel, and why did he inherit the Viscount's title? Who was Antoine, and what did Valantinus want to do to him? Why did Marie despise Giselle? What message did Dagi send to Maya? Who was Lisette, and where did Valantinus take her? How old was Daniel, when he developed fangs, and night vision? Who was the Grim Reaper, and what was his intentions? I highly recommend this novel to all those who enjoy reading compelling vampire stories, describing the behavior, motivation, and physiology of mythical beasts. Ziana de Bethune delivers an incredible, horrifying tale of a predator that sends chills up your spine. The story is a page turner as the characters come to life in a historical setting as we continue to read about blood drinkers, and the dynamics of their society. It's quite obvious that the author spent years in researching an entire myth about the origins and reasons for being in the vampire world as she created a Masterpiece that's different, and refreshing. "VALANTINUS: Blood Brothers" defines the line between good and evil, is interesting, and leaves the reader craving for more. Valantinus is a unique, creepy character who is impossible to forget as the author continues to explain why these creatures behave as they do, and how they breed, and survive. The story is mesmerizing, painted with betrayal, vengeance, and terrifying suspense that's fit for the movie screen. The pages are covered with psychological demons with twisted personalities, and one demented incarnation of evil, leaving you on the edge of your seat. The plot is electrifying as Ziana de Bethune fills the pages with horrific details and morbid curiosity through dark, frightening, complicated lives of blood drinkers. This novel is not only bloody, evil and weirdly erotic, but in the world of vampires, it's a Knockout!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7953262473624516866?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7953262473624516866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7953262473624516866' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7953262473624516866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7953262473624516866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/06/5-star-reviewvalantinus-blood-brothers.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;VALANTINUS: Blood Brothers&quot; Author ZIANA DE BETHUNE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TCFXDIcimwI/AAAAAAAAAks/Nsc3W2_P19M/s72-c/BLOOD.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3016914191712089856</id><published>2010-06-08T17:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-08T17:24:04.850-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~BREATHE: 52 Oxygen-Rich Tools for Loving and Living Well with Autism" Author GAYLE NOBEL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TA7fDScPZQI/AAAAAAAAAjs/AJjGNDIGzrA/s1600/for+girl+book.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="90" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TA7fDScPZQI/AAAAAAAAAjs/AJjGNDIGzrA/s200/for+girl+book.bmp" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;"HEARTFELT, DELIGHTFUL, and INSPIRING!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Life can be a challenge for the parent of a child with autism. It's tough enough to be a parent in today's world, and much harder for any parent who has a child with a disability, including Gayle Nobel. Through her experience with her brother and her son, Kyle, Gayle shares the essential tools for a more rewarding, happy life. After devoting thirty years to Nursing, raising a child with a disability and caring for autistic children, reading this book brought me a great sense of comfort to know that the material that Gayle shares with the world does in fact make a huge difference to the welfare of any child with a disability. Gayle defines what a quick fix is as she voices her opinion that magic for answers simply does not exist. However, compassion, love and praise on an everyday basis, combined with harmony and balance does indeed produce good results. I highly recommend this book to all parents who have a child with special needs, teachers, and health care providers. The author not only shares her thoughts and feelings on autism, but also provides invaluable advice for families who cope with autism to make the journey nourishing, with a positive attitude. Gayle Nobel directs her readers to the rewarding effect of the smallest achievements, how to cope, and to never give up. This book is a rare gem for all parents, and anyone who takes care of autistic children. The author takes the reader by the hand and walks them gently down the road of courage and hope, while demonstrating that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel.

"GODS CHAIN" is a series of fiction books that are linked to each other, containing stories of fact, and fiction. It is a search for discovery to find out where the three Reliquiae are, fabled to be the links to God. The author's secret passion for writing a book became reality with "GODS CHAIN" and the first of the series being 'Genesis' and 'The First Degree.' Nikolaus Baker was born in a place filled with history, including the enigmatic Freemasons villages and towns to the summary killing times of the Covenanters, where religious tensions in Scotland mixed with manipulation of human life, and the author incorporates this background knowledge into his writing with expertise. I highly recommend this novel to mystery lovers, who enjoy historical stories, packed with action, and adventure. The author had a craving to create a novel, where the reader would have the burning desire to step into the same shoes of a character, while contemplating survival, and his craving was fulfilled as he succeeded with perfection. What bizarre events take place in a hidden, complex world? What does Cardinal Giovanni Dalla Gassa plan to do? Where there is conspiracy, will truth be discovered? Where there is despair, will hope be found? Where there is racism, can equality be found? Is it through our weakness, where we become stronger? Follow Nikolaus Baker through this fast-paced historical adventure, with fascinating twists-and-turns as the pieces to the puzzle are beginning to fit one-by-one. Where there is hatred, will friendship be found? Where there is power, can there be compromise? "GODS CHAIN GENESIS: The First Degree" is as impressive as THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, with Mel Gibson.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5265710825929857734?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5265710825929857734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5265710825929857734' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5265710825929857734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5265710825929857734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/06/5-star-reviewgods-chain-genesis-first.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;GODS CHAIN GENESIS: The First Degree&quot; Author NIKOLAUS BAKER'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/TAriZys_kSI/AAAAAAAAAjM/qUUaaWzHFS0/s72-c/white+and+black+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3510748001473358505</id><published>2010-05-25T17:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T17:22:36.677-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~Legend Of The Last Vikings: Taklamakan" Author/Publisher JOHN HALSTED</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S_xppreDYmI/AAAAAAAAAi0/VwNKJGkWnJ0/s1600/FLUSTERN.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gu="true" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S_xppreDYmI/AAAAAAAAAi0/VwNKJGkWnJ0/s200/FLUSTERN.bmp" width="156" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"A TRIUMPH!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author John Halsted invites the reader to step into an adventure, packed with history, action, and drama. It's the end of the Viking age as the mysterious journey takes us along the silk route into China's notorious desert, where you may enter, but may not leave. A Viking saga introduces us to ancient people, hidden kingdoms, and lost tribes. A place where love blossoms, and danger becomes more intense as the Viking crew continue to travel. I highly recommend "Legend Of The Last Vikings: Taklamakan" to all those who enjoy historical adventures, combined with mystery, and action. As the journey continues across the European steppe, conflict, evil, and battle waits for the diverse crew. What are the Vikings up against, and do they find what they are looking for? Who will survive in a city that's ready to die? Who are the Lang Ren, and do they survive? Does the Viking crew find the answers to their questions, and who will win the battle? The story becomes a Masterpiece that is nothing short of 'a triumph.' The reader will experience an Adrenaline Rush as suspense and unstoppable action explode page-after-page in a world that's filled with romance, greed, and betrayal. Has the final clue to the Viking's quest been uncovered, and what plan do they have for the thieves and criminals? The author created a searing drama of courage in a shattering emotional experience you will never forget. This novel is filled with as much action as THE PATRIOT, and is as dramatic as DANCES WITH WOLVES, with Kevin Costner.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3510748001473358505?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3510748001473358505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3510748001473358505' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3510748001473358505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3510748001473358505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/05/5-star-reviewlegend-of-last-vikings.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~Legend Of The Last Vikings: Taklamakan&quot; Author/Publisher JOHN HALSTED'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S_xppreDYmI/AAAAAAAAAi0/VwNKJGkWnJ0/s72-c/FLUSTERN.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-6882997101713352640</id><published>2010-04-22T20:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-22T20:23:17.665-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB, A NOVEL" Author JACOB NELSON LURIE</title><content type='html'>"ENDEARING, DELIGHTFUL, and HILARIOUS!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S9ER0-75AuI/AAAAAAAAAgs/csqB7mXw8mI/s1600/CLOUD+BOOK.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S9ER0-75AuI/AAAAAAAAAgs/csqB7mXw8mI/s200/CLOUD+BOOK.bmp" tt="true" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Jacob Nelson Lurie takes the reader on one of the funniest thrill rides through the past, present, and future of Davis Robertson. A young man who is supposed to be preparing for the biggest step in his life, before walking down the aisle to make a lifetime commitment is haunted by the memories of his past. He battles with his desire of a beautiful dream-come-true with all the sentiments of peace and love that flow from Heaven to the outrageous actions and adventures he spent with Hell's Angels, better known as his close friends. As the author opens up the door to a ride that you will never forget, the reader becomes addicted immediately to unique characters, laugh-out-loud fun, and touching moments. Each character will remind you of someone you once knew as they come to life, with a personality we will always remember.These characters were created through brutal truth as the author paints each one with flaws in the no-perfection department, while the reader has the advantage to form an opinion, and to be able to compare them to friends they have. What crucial decision does Davis make, and does his lifestyle change, for better or worse? What happened in Vegas, and do the drunken parties end? Is Davis facing the same torment that many go through in modern day relationships? I highly recommend this novel to all contemporary fiction lovers, who enjoy creativity, entertainment, and humor. Jacob Nelson Lurie penned a compelling story that's appealing to all readers, with brilliant dialog in a fast moving, witty journey. The fearless author tells-it-like-it-is, through a refreshing writing style, providing colorful insight through the antics of his close friends. Does the wild side of college life continue, along with the parties and alcohol, or do the hangovers become history? How long will Davis worry about promiscuity and unfaithfulness, before walking down the altar? Do many men go through a living hell, while searching for their true love? How wild was the bachelor party, and who was known for pranks, and fights? The pages are covered in action, the story is impressive, and the ending is amazing. The clever author included everything it takes to be a success on the movie screen. "THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB, A NOVEL" contains incredible word play as in MY COUSIN VINNY, has as much irresistible fun as MEET THE FOCKERS, and is as funny as FOOLS RUSH IN.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-6882997101713352640?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/6882997101713352640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=6882997101713352640' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6882997101713352640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6882997101713352640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/04/5-star-reviewthe-friday-night-club.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB, A NOVEL&quot; Author JACOB NELSON LURIE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S9ER0-75AuI/AAAAAAAAAgs/csqB7mXw8mI/s72-c/CLOUD+BOOK.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-6171825526116378189</id><published>2010-04-10T10:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-10T10:47:03.408-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"TOO MUCH UNTOLD" Author DOMINIQUE L.

Watson, business owner and author of three inspirational books, penned her first urban fiction novel. Ari, Heaven, Marissa and Katora are four women, who share a special friendship as they find out how much they all have in common. Each woman goes through life's difficult struggles, which force upon them to make tough decisions that will lead to new paths in some unexpected journeys. After all secrets are revealed, does the friendship between all four ladies become stronger, or totally destroyed? What kind of trouble does Heaven get into, and how often does she get into trouble? How does Ari survive her childhood, after being raised by her mother, who battled alcoholism, and hardship? Why did Ari attend Nursing school, and what was her real dream? Why did Katora dread visiting her mom's house, and why is Ziaha so mean to Katora? Why did Marissa feel like a mom, while still attending high school, and what major crisis did she face at age fifteen? I highly recommend this novel to all fiction lovers, who enjoy inspirational stories, dealing with friendship, family and the different roads we all take through life's journey. Each story told by the author about the lives of the four ladies will indeed tug at the reader's heart as we witness courage, strength, and determination. What lies and secrets will be revealed, and who will confess? How did Marissa's married life change? Where did Heaven meet Terrence, and who knew about her relationship with him? Does Ari convince her mom to stop drinking? Why was Mama Angie worried about Heaven, and what was Heaven afraid to tell her? Step into the lives of four unique characters, while you experience the storms, the darkness and life's lessons we learn, but never forget.

She brings back the famous dog detectives, Penny &amp;amp; Rio, who are well-known for fighting crime, and mysteries. This delightful chapter book, packed with colorful illustrations will capture the heart of any reader, regardless of age. In this incredible adventure, the two sister dogs team up with Hobbes to help Squeaky the mouse retrieve a treasure, which is as important as life itself. Although Rio is up to her old, lazy tricks again, the reader will learn that her naps don't destroy ingenious crime fighting plans for solving cases. What is needed to gain access to the abandoned doghouse would be two clever dogs, a new brave assistant, and a persistent mouse. Who digs up the yard to find an old bone, and what was hidden inside it? Will the dog detectives crack the case, and solve the mystery? Why didn't Squeaky give-up on the mission to unlock the doghouse, even though Hobbes lives in the same yard, where the padlock remains on the door? Who is the brains of this crime fighting outfit, and who has more energy than Superman? This enchanting children's book is highly recommended for ages eight, and older. It is also a great read that will interest younger children, when read to by an adult. The story is captivating, action and suspense cover the pages, while the author points out the importance of family values. For the icing on the cake, Jennifer Swanson paints each colorful page with unique characters, who are precious, and come to life. Her love for animals, especially dogs, shines through in her writing. I have read the PENNY &amp;amp; RIO series to several children with special needs, and the adventure was a big hit in this funny, laugh-out-loud read. The children learn about teamwork, problem solving, and perseverance through the adorable characters, page-after-page. The short chapters hold the attention of the young child as they step into this fun read, while learning not only about how clever dogs can be, but also what friendship signifies throughout life. Does Squeaky ever get what the detectives are searching for, before the doghouse is moved to a dump, and who is Spike? Which plan works best to solve the mystery, and who came up with the idea? This dynamic adventure teaches children to follow their dreams, while demonstrating the rewards of helping others. The priceless 'Treasure' that the author created was not only found in the doghouse, but in the heart of many young readers, who considered this book a 'Treasure' in itself. "PENNY &amp;amp; RIO: The Locked Doghouse Mystery" is as funny as Walt Disney's CHICKEN LITTLE, and as amazing as&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE POLAR EXPRESS, with Tom Hanks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5715292378289174561?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5715292378289174561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5715292378289174561' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5715292378289174561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5715292378289174561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/03/5-star-reviewpenny-rio-locked-doghouse.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;PENNY &amp; RIO: The Locked Doghouse Mystery&quot; Author Jennifer Swanson&quot;'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S7O9ColoO9I/AAAAAAAAAfk/2NdXMQ9_2iM/s72-c/Mom+%26+Child.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3493156979055037064</id><published>2010-03-23T22:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-24T17:28:36.838-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"ALZABREAH'S GARDEN" Author GARY STARTA</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S6mp1lEld7I/AAAAAAAAAfU/FCvNwT_LCvQ/s1600/blue+and+white+book.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="113" nt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S6mp1lEld7I/AAAAAAAAAfU/FCvNwT_LCvQ/s200/blue+and+white+book.bmp" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"POWERFULLY SEDUCTIVE AND IRRESISTIBLE IN A DIABOLICAL THRILLER!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike many well-known authors who can create a Masterpiece in one specific genre, Gary Starta has the unique capability to create a Masterpiece, regardless of which genre he chooses. BLOOD WEB and MURDER BY ASSOCIATION left me totally content in what to expect from a juicy thriller. "ALZABREAH'S GARDEN" is another Masterpiece, created with fantasy, sizzling romance and intense suspense, which left me amazed in the production of the incredible imagination of this author. The setting he painted of the sensual tropical island fits the unique story like a glove, the picture-perfect characters come to life, and drama that turns into murder covers the pages within a society that the reader will never forget. A New Order is created by one woman as the leader, who sends many women to this island, where they must follow the laws from the power of Alzabreah. All women are invited to step into a society, where laws of marriage does not exist, and love is forbidden, but what happens if you cross the line? Who killed Katayana, and why? Unlike other Olvidian Women, why did Mavra disobey the laws? How far is too far for Alzabreah as the judge, jury, and executioner? Was the high priestess willing to give a fair trial to Doldruss? I highly recommend this novel to all science fiction and erotic romance lovers. Gary Starta's descriptive, superb writing style will not disappoint you. The plot is compelling, and the author's love for science fiction, fantasy and suspense blossoms on every page as his crime scene investigation and mystery explode like fireworks. The author takes the reader from the tall, lush grass of the tropical island of oblivion to betrayal, and murder. Does Thorpleen and Mavra continue a sensuous, loving relationship, or will it be destroyed? Mavra must fight for the right to free will, but who will win the dreadful battle? Which drone has become the primary suspect in the investigation? What are the pros and cons involving cloning, and stem cell research? How many illegal genetic experiments were covered up, before Mavra fights for the right to live? Which drone was designed to be a Romeo, and an assassin? Why was Alzabreah in a rage with Nessa? Can a murderer be brought to justice, will Alzabreah always be known as the high priestess, and who does the statue in the mainland's capital city resemble? Love and morality continues to grow in a steaming love affair as compared to GHOST with Demi Moore as it does in ALZABREAH'S GARDEN, passion wins in a love to last as portrayed in NOW &amp;amp; FOREVER, and suspense continues with uncontrollable rage on the same scale as REVENGE, with Kevin Costner.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-3493156979055037064?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/3493156979055037064/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=3493156979055037064' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3493156979055037064'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/3493156979055037064'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/03/5-star-reviewalzabreahs-garden-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;ALZABREAH&apos;S GARDEN&quot; Author GARY STARTA'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S6mp1lEld7I/AAAAAAAAAfU/FCvNwT_LCvQ/s72-c/blue+and+white+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-6740333769417671069</id><published>2010-03-11T12:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T12:24:42.905-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"THE BOOK OF ELI" Author SAM MOFFIE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S5lQahvQzoI/AAAAAAAAAeU/BuZ35apB7RM/s1600-h/LITTLE+BOOK.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="94" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S5lQahvQzoI/AAAAAAAAAeU/BuZ35apB7RM/s200/LITTLE+BOOK.bmp" vt="true" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL, and SMASHINGLY EFFECTIVE!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Sam Moffie creates another Masterpiece as he takes the reader on a spiritual journey through the life of Eli Canaan, who is a unique character, obsessed with sexual encounters with Abigail, and faced with the consequences of a hex that a gypsy strikes upon him. The story is as intelligent as NO MAD and as comical as THE ORGAN GRINDER AND THE MONKEY, which makes THE BOOK OF ELI, the icing on the cake. Abigail paid one-thousand dollars to a gypsy, while concerned about her husband's promiscuity, having no idea what the end results would be. Little did she know that Eli's life was about to change, after he is awakened from a deep sleep, totally convinced that what was about to happen had to be a dream. As he begins to hear voices, informing him that he committed adultery, he feels guilt and regret after speaking to God, believing that his behavior is what directly lead him to the gates of Heaven. Julius, who is Eli's guide, sent from God, is on a mission to direct Eli on the road to a rewarding life. As Eli begins to walk on a spiritual path, he learns from the teachings of Jesus, and many others. Through these voices of his advisors, he begins to focus on changes concerning ongoing issues that society is forced to deal with, such as the outrageous salary of an athlete, or the religious institutions that don't pay taxes. The astonishing story-telling becomes unpredictable and more interesting as Eli voices his opinion in an open and honest, tell-it-like-it-is style. I highly recommend this novel to all fantasy and fiction lovers who enjoy philosophy, blended with satire, and humor. The author penned a delicious, well crafted page turner on the ultimate redemption of a man who made a complete U-turn in his life as his mind begins to shift on life's most important matters. What was Eli's view-point on the misinterpretations of the teachings of Jesus? How did he feel about Hollywood's juicy gossip to the public?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;What did he think about people focused on the weather, instead of current events in the world? The clever author covers each mischievous page with wit and irony as the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is told by Eli Canaan. What insight did Sigmund Freud pass on to Eli? What was Eli's opinion about worshipping money and sex before God? Sam Moffie painted a triumphant story in a delightful read "THE BOOK OF ELI" will surprise you as much as Patrick Swayze did in GHOST, and will make you laugh as much as Jack Nicholson did in AS GOOD AS IT GETS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-6740333769417671069?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/6740333769417671069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=6740333769417671069' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6740333769417671069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6740333769417671069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/03/5-star-reviewthe-book-of-eli-author-sam.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;THE BOOK OF ELI&quot; Author SAM MOFFIE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S5lQahvQzoI/AAAAAAAAAeU/BuZ35apB7RM/s72-c/LITTLE+BOOK.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-317790220679310999</id><published>2010-02-23T18:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-23T18:41:05.164-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"DIRE MEANS" Author GEOFFREY NEIL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S4SRNquQS9I/AAAAAAAAAdU/FEQ-1FK0nHA/s1600-h/BLUE+BOOK.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S4SRNquQS9I/AAAAAAAAAdU/FEQ-1FK0nHA/s200/BLUE+BOOK.bmp" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"A MESMERIZING MASTERPIECE OF THE UNEXPECTED!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;The populated tourist attraction of Santa Monica, California becomes the city of horror and fear. Bodies vanish one-by-one, missing abductions are mastered to perfection, leaving police and FBI in total darkness. Although the motive for the murders stand out, like a sore thumb as police desperately seek for leads and evidence, flawless killings continue as the city starves from neglect. As the vigilante attacks another victim, public panic transforms into terrifying fear, while Mark Denny's life changes instantly, shortly after the death of Carlos and the incident of what Mark thought was a carjack that turned into his worst nightmare. What events took place in Mark's life, after the loss of his good friend? Why did Carlos commit suicide, and where was his career going? Who is Mr. Mendalsen, and who did he abuse? What building was the freight elevator in, and what was it used for? Who stole Mark's car and identity, after his horrific beating? What happened to Brandon Chargon, after his shoes sank into a spongy floor? What did Mark witness, and could he end the terror in Santa Monica, without ending his own life? I highly recommend this novel to all thriller lovers who enjoy intense suspense and fast-paced action with unique characters. Geoffrey Neil created a Knockout in this exciting nail-biting thriller that leaves you on the edge of your seat. The plot is spellbinding and the characters come to life as the author fills the pages with rage, anger, and revenge. This shockingly powerful thriller becomes a terrifying Masterpiece, made for the movie screen as twisted killers continue their mission for the homeless in a 'Death Wish' style, covering each page in electrifying suspense. The story is stunning and intoxicating, covered in horrific thrills and chills, blended in a social commentary, with a picture-perfect setting that's painted in fear. "DIRE MEANS" moves like a speeding bullet, and is as hypnotic as EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, with Ashley Judd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-317790220679310999?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/317790220679310999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=317790220679310999' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/317790220679310999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/317790220679310999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/02/5-star-reviewdire-means-author-geoffrey.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;DIRE MEANS&quot; Author GEOFFREY NEIL'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S4SRNquQS9I/AAAAAAAAAdU/FEQ-1FK0nHA/s72-c/BLUE+BOOK.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-3741291820655212678</id><published>2010-02-17T20:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T20:42:59.723-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"THE ART OF CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION: Back To Basics Spirituality For The 21st Century" Author PEGGY SUE SKIPPER</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S3zEd_YME3I/AAAAAAAAAc8/Ad2XHM4x1GU/s1600-h/CLOUD+BOOK.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S3zEd_YME3I/AAAAAAAAAc8/Ad2XHM4x1GU/s200/CLOUD+BOOK.bmp" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"INSPIRING, MOTIVATING, and UPLIFTING!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Peggy Sue Skipper, who is a Life coach and Hand Analyst, takes the reader on an inspirational journey through our hearts and souls on the road to freedom and self-empowerment.

EAT CHOCOLATE WITH BREAKFAST, which inspires women of all ages. It all began when Jan sent her daughter a series of short encouraging emails, when Sarah was in college, who was captivated by her mother's unique way of sharing wisdom. Sarah encouraged Jan to share her insight and comfort with women throughout the world. In the first year, after publication, Jan sold 1700 copies of her inspirational Masterpiece that nourishes the body, mind and spirit. Her sayings are an open invitation to each individual to recognize their gifts, identify their goals, and trust their abilities. The author challenges each reader to embrace these empowering qualities. I highly recommend this book to any individual, who searches for a refreshing, comforting, and inspirational read. A watercolor artist of over fifty years, Jan's illustrations are cheerful, gently blended with uplifting messages. The author uses chocolate throughout the book as a metaphor for nourishing the spirit, to unleash a woman's strength. The author's colorful sayings are reassuring to the heart and soul, acknowledging the good times in our lives, while comforting our way through times of sadness, and sorrow. This book tugs at the heart, while motivating all women as it encourages confidence and self-esteem, through a creative approach to coping with everyday stress that life throws upon us. A great way to boost the ego, after feeling compassion, and the gift of those peaceful moments we all search for!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-1441371824651562522?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/1441371824651562522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=1441371824651562522' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/1441371824651562522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/1441371824651562522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/01/5-star-reviewbe-empowered-eat-chocolate.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;BE EMPOWERED!

Who was Father Don to the Sullivan family, and where did he recite the vows for Joe and Barbie? Who was Jake Ashford, and how long has he been missing? Although Joe and Brian believed in rock solid leads, did they have any doubts about Maddy's letter? Maddy was right about Jimmy, but was she right about Ben, and will there be a false conviction? Who killed Jodi, and why? Did Ben shoot Jake? Why did Maddy decide to never work with the police again, and what were her recurrent nightmares about? Who was Mrs. Whitman, and what was she looking for? Does one mother's sorrow convince Maddy to help solve another murder case? Team writers and sisters, Pat Casiello and Kathie Clare Nee Lynch, created a Masterpiece of drama, action and sizzling romance. The setting is perfect for this chilling story, the plot directs the reader into a thriller that will keep you guessing until the end, the characters come to life, and love blossoms page-after-page. I highly recommend this book to all romance and suspense lovers. K.M. Daughters covered the pages in spine-tingling intense suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat as mysterious pieces of a bizarre puzzle are slowly put together. Who was Eric, and who murdered him? What was Brian searching for in Ben's trailer, and was a gun found in a boxcar of a train set? Whose body was found in the river? How long will the case remain open, and is there still a killer on the loose? Will justice be served, and for who? Will visions, perception, and truths bring new evidence to the case? Will the murder weapon ever be found? Is Matty's life in danger, and will her love for Brian die?

Jenna is a suburban mom, a wife, and a woman who wears many hats. She finds herself trapped in the everyday frustrations in life of trying desperately to please everyone, realizing that she has the answers to care for others, and places herself on the bottom of her list. The author invites the reader to take a journey through Jenna's hilarious lifestyle, packed with drama, and heartfelt emotion. As Jenna struggles through life's commands and demands, before reaching the ultimate brink of insanity, she finds herself, before mid-life crisis attacks in its worst form. Her life has consisted of an addiction to drama, gossip, and complaining. She wakes up one day, realizing that the life she has been living is chaotic and superficial, but that's all about to change, because her wake-up call forces her to make a complete U-turn. I highly recommend this novel to all women, who have walked on the tough road of struggling the responsibilities of raising children, being a good wife, along with fulfilling endless duties on an everyday basis. Too often, Jenna hears the words that many of us have heard over-and-over, from the backseat of your car, are we there yet? What's for dinner, and do I have to eat that? Will we be late? You need to take me here, and pick me up there! What should I wear? Who will help me clean my room? Facing the life she lives, Jenna begins to search for personal rebirth, while setting out on a mission to seek new opportunities, along with gratitude. The pages in this book are covered in excitement as we witness the direction of life's changes for Jenna Sinclair. Jenna once forgot who she was, during a time when she cared about others more than herself, but a delightful awakening leads Jenna on a new path, that will indeed change her entire life. The story is packed with witty humor as it demonstrates how challenging life can be. Kristen White colors the pages with comical wisdom, and the story is inspiring to all women. "MYSTIC IN A MINIVAN" is as entertaining as ERIN BROCKOVICH, with Julia Roberts.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5901021467056721841?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5901021467056721841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5901021467056721841' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5901021467056721841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5901021467056721841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/01/5-star-reviewmystic-in-minivan-by.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;MYSTIC IN A MINIVAN&quot; by Author KRISTEN WHITE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S1SxG68Qi_I/AAAAAAAAAa8/MKVgFxB68zo/s72-c/Mom+%26+Child.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-7843198283027645855</id><published>2010-01-13T18:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-13T18:36:46.161-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR" by Author LYNNE ELLISON</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S06CncXuu5I/AAAAAAAAAas/2bYKccji81c/s1600-h/Magic+book.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426418215170259858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 145px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 93px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S06CncXuu5I/AAAAAAAAAas/2bYKccji81c/s200/Magic+book.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnposnerbook.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.cnposnerbook.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;                           "A MAGICAL, THRILLING, SPECTACULAR ADVENTURE!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inspired by historical novels, which was Lynne Ellison's favorite reading material for many years, she created a Masterpiece of historical adventure. This novel fills the pages with fantasy as it takes the reader on an amazing journey, after Karen looks into an ancient mirror that she found buried on the beach, and is transported back in time to the Roman empire. What trials and tribulations must Karen face, during her struggles to return to her own time? I highly recommend this book to all fantasy lovers, children, and young adults. The adventure is breathtaking, the story is spectacular, and the unique characters come to life. The last thing Karen remembered was glancing into the mirror, while daydreaming, what happened to the island, and where did she wind up? How many years did the mirror take her back in time? Who asked Karen if she was a runaway slave, and where did he take her? What was Darvus ordered to do for Karen? Who was Cordella, and what did she give Karen? Where did Karen meet Kleon? Who bought Karen, and where was she going, after the auction? Where did Karen meet Locusta, and how did Locusta hide from the soldiers? Did Locusta's magic help Karen find her way through the dark passages? Does Karen find her way back to where it all began, and is there a happy ending? Find out the answers in this breathtaking adventure as we follow Karen to see if there will be light at the end of the tunnel. "THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR" is as mysterious as LEFT BEHIND and as captivating as Steven Spielberg's, THE GOONIES.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7843198283027645855?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7843198283027645855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7843198283027645855' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7843198283027645855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7843198283027645855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/01/5-star-reviewthe-green-bronze-mirror-by.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR&quot; by Author LYNNE ELLISON'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/S06CncXuu5I/AAAAAAAAAas/2bYKccji81c/s72-c/Magic+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-7779931945918351912</id><published>2010-01-12T20:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T20:34:40.653-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"WE LOVE TO CHEER OUR ABCs" by Author J.

Hale Turner created a delightful, entertaining children's book. Through the fun process of singing and cheering the alphabet, the read-along, sing-along teaching exercise makes learning enjoyable for young children. Tested on groups of special needs children who I provide care for, found this book to be exciting as they tuned in to a high-spirited performance. They enjoyed singing together as their cheering turned into dancing. Through repeated sessions, they remembered more-and-more of the alphabet. Through observation and guidance, the children were rewarded with praise. They became confident enough to sing, cheer, and play musical instruments for ages three to seven. I highly recommend this book to all children who are in the learning stage of the alphabet, and as a social activity for young children. "WE LOVE TO CHEER OUR ABCs" is educational as it builds confidence and self-esteem in young children. Each colorful page motivates the child to continue learning through reading, singing, and cheering. Motor coordination is increased through the use of clapping, jumping, and cheering. The child's social life blossoms, when practicing this exercise with other children as they interact. This book will amaze the eyes, and astonish the heart as you watch these children sing in happiness with the ABC Cheer Babies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7779931945918351912?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7779931945918351912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7779931945918351912' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7779931945918351912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7779931945918351912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2010/01/5-star-reviewwe-love-to-cheer-our-abcs.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;WE LOVE TO CHEER OUR ABCs&quot; by Author J.

The ride begins slow, then speed picks up, and suddenly you feel like you're on a rocket. As you wait to see if there will be light at the end of that horrifying tunnel as chills go up your spine, while sitting on the edge of your seat, you witness a heart-pounding thriller. This compelling, nail-biting story portrays the terrible truths that hide behind everyday appearances. The plot is a spellbinding, chilling journey that reveals just how little we know about the world around us. The pages are filled with revenge, passion, and rage, with a spectrum of terror that only a few can see. Evil has its winning ways, but how far will Angelique McCourt go to seek her revenge on Bernadette's killer? Will Angelique find the mysterious pieces to the bizarre puzzle? This spine-tingling suspenseful journey will continue through relentless psychological torment. How many victims will detective Ben Marsden find, and does he solve the puzzle before Angelique? On the quest of vengeance for the murder of her best friend, does Angelique's life fall apart, and how does she change? Does an intelligent beauty queen, with a photographic memory battle a blood-thirsty monster, and where does she find that demon? As rage and danger light up the pages, while Angelique embarks on a ruthless mission to hunt the killer, who's on the hunt for her? Does Angelique's mission become seductive and deadly to find the missing pieces? Will passion distort the hidden truth in the case? After suffering the loss of a loved one, then jumping into the mind of a deranged killer, will Angelique survive her struggles for justice as she faces her worst fears? I highly recommend this novel to all thriller lovers. The pages are packed with drama, the characters are intriguing, and the plot explodes into an entertaining, psychological thriller. The author cleverly defines the good, the bad, and the evil through characters that come to life in a twisted, emotional story. "PIECES" is as chilling as DON'T SAY A WORD, as intense as ALONG CAME A SPIDER and as suspenseful as THE BONE COLLECTOR, with Denzel Washington, and Angelina Jolie. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-2268154518150590307?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/2268154518150590307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=2268154518150590307' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2268154518150590307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2268154518150590307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/12/5-star-reviewpieces-by-author-julia.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;PIECES&quot; by Author JULIA DUDEK'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/Sza5F7x8dwI/AAAAAAAAAYY/MqsUverajKs/s72-c/CLOUD+BOOK.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-5775049359810898528</id><published>2009-12-13T04:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-13T04:50:29.430-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"BUTTERFINGERS AND SECRETS" by Author/Artist MORGAN FITZSIMONS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SyTi_YHK2JI/AAAAAAAAAYA/KTCw_fq6Zmo/s1600-h/Magic+book.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 145px; height: 93px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SyTi_YHK2JI/AAAAAAAAAYA/KTCw_fq6Zmo/s200/Magic+book.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414702230438336658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"CAPTIVATING, ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Maisy was a good witch, very kind to people, unlike her deceased family members, who were evil. The only living member in Maisy's family was her cousin Egbert. Maisy lived in a tree-house, and Egbert lived at the far side of the woods. Although Maisy lived alone, she enjoyed her privacy. People misjudged her, because she was old, and looked like a witch. Egbert was very old, and was a scary wizard. Maisy spent most of her life, trying to fix things. She was happy to turn wrong into right, except she was clumsy, and her magic didn't always turn out to be the way she wanted. She tried to remove the rainbow stripes from her talking cat, but failed. She attempted to help her talking owl, so that the owl could communicate with other owls, but failed. Maisy was one not to give up, so one day while going to visit Egbert, she decided to fetch ingredients to fix her cat. However, she was distracted in the woods by Leo, and a young girl crying. Melissa ran away from her evil uncle, and Leo did not know who he was. Maisy welcomed Leo and Melissa to live with her, so that Melissa would be safe, and Leo could help out with chores, while watching over Melissa. While collecting herbs in Maisy's garden, Melissa was taken away by her uncle's men to the castle, after the villain hit Leo. Why did uncle Tarquin want Melissa dead, before the age of eighteen? Why couldn't Leo remember who he was? Who gave Maisy the nickname of Butterfingers? Who was Prince Christian, and what happened to him in the woods? who joins Maisy to rescue Melissa, who was locked away in the castle? Who does Egbert use a magic reversing spell on? Who rode the broomstick, which became a white horse, and where were they going? Does Tarquin pay for his cruelty, and greed? Who poisoned the king, and why? Who was Jack, and what did he tell Maisy? Who was Bardolf, and what did Tarquin order him to do? I highly recommend this fascinating and educational story to children of all ages, filled with magical powers in a thrilling adventure. Morgan Fitzsimons, author and artist, created a complete triumph, which turns into a Masterpiece of delightful entertainment. Creatures come to life, and cat and owl light up the pages with humor. The unforgettable characters are impressive as drama continues in the unpredictable castle. Do the knights win the battle, and does Melissa find freedom? What happens to Leo, and did the toad eat the fly? Find out the moral to the story in this outrageous odyssey of fun and fantasy as the epic adventure unfolds in this amazing, magical world. "BUTTERFINGERS AND SECRETS" is as enchanting as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, as captivating as HARRY POTTER, and as hilarious as SHREK THE THIRD.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5775049359810898528?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5775049359810898528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5775049359810898528' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5775049359810898528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5775049359810898528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/12/5-star-reviewbutterfingers-and-secrets.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;BUTTERFINGERS AND SECRETS&quot; by Author/Artist MORGAN FITZSIMONS'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SyTi_YHK2JI/AAAAAAAAAYA/KTCw_fq6Zmo/s72-c/Magic+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-760343874765174710</id><published>2009-12-07T12:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-07T12:54:37.148-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~"PONEASEQUA: GODDESS OF THE WATERS" by Author STEPHANIE A.

She is a proud, strong young woman, who believes in her Wampanoag heritage, and her&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;upbringing shines light into her heart.

I highly recommend this novel to young adults, and to anyone interested in the history of the Native American culture. I also recommend this book to young women, who wish to build their self-esteem and confidence by following the strength, and spirit of McKenzie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The author painted a portrait of vivid imagery. The cover is picture-perfect in the second edition, with true to life characters in a breathtaking story. In the end, does McKenzie find the final peace that she has been searching for? Stephanie Duckworth-Elliot penned a setting where the legends told from McKenzie's grandfather can be softly heard in the background as warrior's dance to the beating of drums, turning the plot into a Masterpiece. Follow McKenzie to the farm, where she tended chores with the light of her life, her grandfather. Listen carefully to his wondrous storytelling as the bond between him, and McKenzie becomes stronger. Did McKenzie's grandfather help McKenzie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;to grow in spirit, while claiming her Wampanoag identity? "PONEASEQUA: GODDESS OF THE WATERS" is as entertaining as THE HORSE WHISPERER, and as inspiring as Walt Disney's TUCK EVERLASTING.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-760343874765174710?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/760343874765174710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=760343874765174710' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/760343874765174710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/760343874765174710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/12/5-star-reviewponeasequa-goddess-of.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;PONEASEQUA: GODDESS OF THE WATERS&quot; by Author STEPHANIE A.

As John guides the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;reader through the battle of horror, with survival as the ultimate goal, he becomes stronger each step of the way as he shares his strength with Ellie, and Marney.

Can the reader relate to any of the dramatic events that take place in the land of evil? Does the reader feel hope as the journey continues? Can a parent read through the mind of Ellie?

Jeffrey B. Allen created a Masterpiece, a captivating story the reader can never forget. The author's wild imagination draws the reader in, like a magnet. The plot is superb, and his charismatic characters come to life. "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" is a riveting tale of not just John's epic journey, but also our journey through life. The vivid description of "The Beast" is incredible. The remarkable journey is chilling, haunting, and mysterious as it takes the reader to a place with unforgettable consequences. John Greber tugs at the reader's heart as much as Trevor does in "PAY IT FORWARD." Jeffrey B. Allen's "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" transforms into an action-packed adventure that explodes with spectacular special effects, and the reader will indulge into an awe-inspiring experience as if viewing one of Steven Spielberg's finest!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-8465433007669149588?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/8465433007669149588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=8465433007669149588' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8465433007669149588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/8465433007669149588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/12/5-star-reviewgoneaway-into-land-author.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~&quot;GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND&quot; Author JEFFREY B.

The sweet scent of sizzling romance blossoms like a rose as the reader is taken on an interesting journey through the culture and beauty of different countries. Challenges are taken through many twists-and-turns, while war is looming as the pages become covered in drama. The plot is captivating, the story is delightful and the fascinating characters come to life in this unique, emotional roller-coaster ride. The author paints each page with excitement, danger, sorrow, and happiness. A colorful portrait is the result of an unforgettable story that's made for the movie screen. "OVERLAND" is as entertaining as GONE WITH THE WIND, as romantic as JERRY MAGUIRE, and as dramatic as&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;THE DEER HUNTER with Robert Deniro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-7271642631940217777?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/7271642631940217777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=7271642631940217777' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7271642631940217777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/7271642631940217777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/11/5-star-reviewoverland-author-mark.html' title='**5 Star REVIEW~&quot;OVERLAND&quot; Author MARK STEPHEN LEVY**'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/Swle61WBb-I/AAAAAAAAAWI/Dc-KyOAPuVw/s72-c/black%26white+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-4372789956101015724</id><published>2009-11-03T10:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T11:13:57.906-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~"600 Hours of Edward"  Author CRAIG LANCASTER</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SvB_wTbNnFI/AAAAAAAAAUY/-DMXG5R9qrA/s1600-h/Girl+&amp;amp;+Guy.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399956421042084946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 135px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SvB_wTbNnFI/AAAAAAAAAUY/-DMXG5R9qrA/s200/Girl+%26+Guy.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"A TRULY SPECTACULAR STORY!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The main character in Craig Lancaster's fascinating story is Edward&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Stanton, a man who lives not only isolated from the rest of the world,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;but who suffers from mental illness at the age of thirty-nine.

When the war ended, Aida's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;parents returned to Bosnia, why didn't Aida join them? When did Aida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;move to America, and enlist in the U.S. Army? Does she ever reunite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;with her parents in Germany? I highly recommend this novel to all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;non-fiction lovers, who enjoy a true story that's thrilling, chilling, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;packed with heartfelt emotion. I also recommend it to every woman, who&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;wish to become inspired through the strength, courage, and determination of Aida Osmani. Her top priority in publishing this book&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;was to reach out to every woman in the world, who experienced abuse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;and humiliation, with a compassionate message that they can bury the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;past, and once again live a happy life. Aida's motto is to bury the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;negativity, and move on. How did Aida save her own life, and her&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;family? Did Aida's brother leave Bosnia before the war, and did she ever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;see him again? How many people witnessed the nightmare of beatings,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;torture, rape, and murder? How many people were deprived of food,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;clothing, and shelter? How many victims were tormented for years by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;the horror flashbacks of what they endured as a refugee? How many&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;people wandered from village-to-village in bitter cold, while starving,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;and listening to horrific bombings? The author penned an incredible,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;chilling, true story.

The author was born in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Trnovac, Serbia, and raised in Bosnia.

He suffers from loneliness, is self-conscious, has a dry sense of humor, and visualizes his life as a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;burden. His speech is stammered whenever he speaks, and his increased sweating,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and hidden fears are the results of his anxiety. He was treated with disrespect and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;humiliation from Mimi, Lenina, and Julia, realizing  he's not a big hit with dating&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;women. He worried about finding a soul mate, because he was over age thirty, and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;needed someone to share his feelings with. His anger toward God was also hidden, in fear of being punished more than what he lives through at the present time. Addison is a camp worker, forced to work in an unskilled job, and is labeled as an unappealing-looking laborer. He works at the camp with Nigel, who he knew for&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;twenty-five years, and they live in a country where beautiful is superior. Why was Chancellor Brock on a crusade to gather up all types of appearance-improving aids? What haunting memory does Addison have about Starck, and what is Addison afraid of? Why did the morbidly obese work at these camps? I recommend this novel to all science fiction lovers, and to all those who enjoy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thrillers, packed with drama. The story is gripping, chilling, and thought-provoking. The setting is dark, scary, and painted in satire. Jeffrey A. Onorato created a Masterpiece, with his unique writing style in the history of Addison Hall's life. This incredible story leaves an aftermath, after reading about one man's journey in a life that's ruled by disturbed, dysfunctional leaders. Once the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;book is closed, is it possible to ever witness another Addison Hall? What is the true definition of sinful that the gifted, talented author points out, page-after-page? How does Otka try to help Addison survive, after he is threatened to be&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eliminated? The reader can hear the sound of the train every time Addison is transported to the camp for another dreadful, horrifying day of work. "THE SIN OF ADDISON HALL" is as thrilling as BEYOND RECOGNITION, and is as&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;captivating as THE GREEN MILE, with Tom Hanks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5644498405345687275?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5644498405345687275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5644498405345687275' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5644498405345687275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5644498405345687275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/09/5-star-reviewthe-sin-of-addison.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~The SIN of Addison Hall~~Author JEFFREY A.

The author includes the true value of family and friendship, which is an essential stepping-stone from childhood to adult. There are serious moments, funny moments, and touching moments. This fun and easy read is recommended for any child who is preparing to enter elementary school, and for children in this age group who are changing schools, after moving to a new location. How does Iggy adapt from an All Lizard School to a public All Animal School?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The characters come to life as Iggy and his friends experience their first school year together, issues get resolved, and emotions become heartfelt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;in this educational, children's adventure.

The author is one of a kind, a master in creating unique&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;characters, who come to life, with personalities the reader will remember. Seymour's dream is to be a veterinian, after he graduated college, he takes a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;trip to New York to fulfill his dream. Irving decides that he wants to join the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York City Police Department, after his haunting memory of being lost on a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;field trip in his younger days, and being rescued by a police officer. Although&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Constance has a wealthy family, the good fortunes were never shared with her.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Her dream in life is to become a Rockette, but after moving to New York City,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;she dances in a strip-club, where survival is the name of the game. With perfection, the author weaves the lives of these three characters into an&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;outrageous, humorous story in non-stop action, page-after-page. The life of each&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;character and how they react to challenges and struggles is blended with precision into the unfortunate of today's society as they venture out into the real&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;world, and learn through experience the difference between dreams, and reality.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I highly recommend this novel to contemporary fiction lovers, and anyone who&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;enjoys an interesting story, packed with emotion, and humor. Sam Moffie has an&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;incredible imagination as he paints his creativity into an unforgettable dialogue,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;while the fast-paced storytelling moves along with delight. Does Constance survive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York City? What factors in Seymour's life left him emotionally traumatized?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do the three characters share anything in common? How did Irving's upbringing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;influence his attitude on the solutions to life's problems? As we read on, the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;author invites you to step into a roller-coaster-ride of mixed-emotions, broken&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dreams, and psychological twists-and-turns through the lives of dysfunctional&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;personalities. The more you read, the more addicted you become to Sam Moffie's&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;distinctive, refreshing, and hilarious voice. "THE ORGAN GRINDER AND THE MONKEY" is as entertaining as TRADING PLACES and as funny as ANALYZE THIS,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;with Robert De Niro, and Billy Crystal.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5958453164760537299?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5958453164760537299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5958453164760537299' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5958453164760537299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5958453164760537299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/09/5-star-reviewthe-organ-grinder-and.html' title='5 Star REVIEW~~The Organ Grinder And The Monkey~~Author SAM MOFFIE'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/Srl8zspP1VI/AAAAAAAAANw/11PVrHimYGE/s72-c/for+Guys.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-4443956789356633871</id><published>2009-09-21T17:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-21T18:12:07.166-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Star REVIEW~~SCOUT SQUAD: Going Native By Author MARK O.

"BLOOD WEB: A Caitlin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diggs Novel" was born a Masterpiece thriller of the supernatural, reminiscent of&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE X-FILES, a popular television series. FBI Agent Caitlin Diggs, and Shenk&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;are the two main characters. Agent Caitlin is assigned to a case, involving the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;investigation of a killer, while searching for an evil crystal, with controlling&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;powers. Unfortunately, when Agent Cailen accepted this police job, it was shortly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;after Geoffrey was killed. He was not only her undercover partner, but also the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;man she loved. With an unstable mind, ignoring an early retirement request&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;made by her parents and her haunting determination to seek revenge for the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;murder of Geoffrey, she purchased her airline ticket and sets out on her most&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;challenging, dangerous mission. Shenk is a mentally deranged teenager, who&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;is not only a runaway, but is also a demented killer. He is possessed by an evil,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ancient crystal. This heart-pounding novel that's packed with electrifying&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;suspense is highly recommended for all thriller lovers. The pages are covered&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;in blasting action, while the despicable villains come to life, and the emotional&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;roller-coaster-ride will leave you on the edge of your seat. The story transforms&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;into an intense, nail-biting thriller that will send chills up your spine as a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;twisted serial killer is hunted down, while the entire nation is at risk. Does the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;crystal possess psychic powers upon Agent Diggs, and does she fall prey to its&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bloody desires? How many innocent people does Shenk murder? Does the Right&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hand organization find Agent Diggs, or does she find them?

With perfection, he describes how it feels to be snowbound, constantly dreamng of&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the warm sun. From blizard-after-blizard, to being a main attraction at the gulf&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;course in the Southwest. From his chilling bones during raging snowstorms, to&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the palm trees at his Las Vegas mini-vacation. He describes his life as a snowbird&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;with humor, and heartfelt emotion as he tells stories about the two different&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lives he lives, and great adventures with all the folks he made friends with&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;in Arizona. There's never a dull moment for Len and Diana as they remove their&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;winter coats, and venture out into the wonderment of retirement paradise,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;while absorbing the sun. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is retired,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;everyone who's contemplating on becoming a snowbird, and to those who enjoy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a heartwarming read, with a blend of humor. The author will guide you to fine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dining in Arizona and Mexico as he describes all the people he met on his&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;about the main topics discussed at the community pool. "THE SECRET LIFE OF&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A SNOWBIRD: An Inside Look At Retirement In America's Sunbelt" is as funny&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as THE-OUT-OF-TOWNERS, and as entertaining as GRUMPY OLD MEN with&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jack Lemmon, and Walter Matthau.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-774621222001524540?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/774621222001524540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=774621222001524540' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/774621222001524540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/774621222001524540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/08/review-secret-life-of-snowbirdauthor.html' title='*****REVIEW ~~THE SECRET LIFE OF A SNOWBIRD~~Author Len Schritter'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SpgXdQ4xR5I/AAAAAAAAAJg/C9n8SEOdPj8/s72-c/black%26white+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-6378250839855881098</id><published>2009-08-23T19:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T19:43:35.531-07:00</updated><title type='text'>*****REVIEW  ~~PENNY &amp; RIO~~ By Author JENNIFER SWANSON</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SpH9RtLR-xI/AAAAAAAAAI4/p5rxTrHF8Ps/s1600-h/for+girl+book.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373354311056227090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 90px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SpH9RtLR-xI/AAAAAAAAAI4/p5rxTrHF8Ps/s200/for+girl+book.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jennifer Swanson's extraordinary children's story is a sweet tale about two dogs,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;an owl, a groundhog, and a cat. Penny and Rio are two dogs who are complete&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sleep the day away. Penny attempts to persuade Rio to help unravel the mystery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;in their backyard, which Penny has been observing, and investigating. Penny&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;becomes rambunctious to begin research on the four intruders, invading Penny&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and Rio's territory in the dark of night. As the adventure begins, we are introduced&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as she continues to spy, during Rio's naps. Does Penny succeed to stop the critter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;invasion, without her sister's help? Why was the neighbor's house a target for&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the intruders? What information did we find out during the peculiar evening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gatherings? Penny steals the show with her astounding ability, determination, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and courage, despite getting punished for her actions. I highly recommend this&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;cute children's book for young readers, for dog lovers, and for everyone who's&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;still young at heart. The moral of the story is educational, the illustrations are&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;colorful, and the thrills make you laugh. The reader will learn about unexpected&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;circumstances, and how we should love and respect our pets through a journey&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;of acceptance. "PENNY &amp;amp; RIO: The Mysterious Backyard Meeting" is as fun-loving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as LOOK WHO'S TALKING NOW, and as entertaining as Walt Disney's AIR BUDDIES.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-6378250839855881098?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/6378250839855881098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=6378250839855881098' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6378250839855881098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/6378250839855881098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/08/review-penny-rio-by-author-jennifer.html' title='*****REVIEW  ~~PENNY &amp; RIO~~ By Author JENNIFER SWANSON'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SpH9RtLR-xI/AAAAAAAAAI4/p5rxTrHF8Ps/s72-c/for+girl+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-5052391464750126011</id><published>2009-08-08T17:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-29T09:25:14.162-07:00</updated><title type='text'>*****REVIEW  ~~NO MAD~~ Author SAM MOFFIE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/Sn4a4erryLI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_24zAQACK6A/s1600-h/brown+and+white+book.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367757363483494578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 113px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/Sn4a4erryLI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_24zAQACK6A/s200/brown+and+white+book.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"WILD, FUNNY AND TOUCHING!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sam Moffie takes the reader on an unforgettable road trip that's better than a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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.

As we reflect back in time to the Early Middle Ages, it was an era when Ireland was in turmoil,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Irish countryside became a battlezone, and was eventually overrun by chieftains.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It was a time when the Irish were warned about Northmen raids. A time in Ireland&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The ever-existing hostility and outrage in Ireland existed, but not between Mara&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-5500137469219717914?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/5500137469219717914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=5500137469219717914' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5500137469219717914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/5500137469219717914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/08/review-raeliksen-author-renee-vincent.html' title='*****REVIEW  ~~RAELIKSEN~~  AUTHOR RENEE VINCENT'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/Sn4L5ztRUZI/AAAAAAAAAGg/nbvVdxKLcIM/s72-c/PINK+ROSE.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-2121166778894210334</id><published>2009-08-01T15:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-01T15:42:58.508-07:00</updated><title type='text'>*****REVIEW ~~THE ACRONYM: White Nights Of St. Petersburg by REBECCA LERWILL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SnTEP2EMBAI/AAAAAAAAAFo/zoxqRaw41vg/s1600-h/white+rose+book.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365128832595264514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 136px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SnTEP2EMBAI/AAAAAAAAAFo/zoxqRaw41vg/s200/white+rose+book.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"HIGH-VOLTAGE ENTERTAINMENT, FAST, FURIOUS AND FEVERISHLY ROMANTIC!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebecca Lerwill's sequel to "RELOCATING MIA" is an incredible action-packed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;against the evils of the Russian Mafia? Will Mia ever testify about her horrifying&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE JUROR with Demi Moore!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-2121166778894210334?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/2121166778894210334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=2121166778894210334' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2121166778894210334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/2121166778894210334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/08/review-acronym-white-nights-of-st.html' title='*****REVIEW ~~THE ACRONYM: White Nights Of St. Petersburg by REBECCA LERWILL'/><author><name>Author Geri Ahearn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17729917699609154421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_k18Wm246lmU/R3RL0sskhMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/BiCiKnQ-WJM/S220/geri.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k18Wm246lmU/SnTEP2EMBAI/AAAAAAAAAFo/zoxqRaw41vg/s72-c/white+rose+book.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479857382889357259.post-4388716978131015436</id><published>2009-07-30T11:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-30T12:17:49.303-07:00</updated><title type='text'>*****REVIEW~~LIFE INTERRUPTED: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME~~CHRIS M.

Tatevosian, his touching story struck a chord, sending chills up my spine. Immediately, I had a flashback of the past twenty years of a friendship&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;with a family that I wouldn't trade for the world. A Doctor that I had the honor of meeting&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;in New York, who had multiple sclerosis for many years, and directed a hospital for rehabilitation. His daughter, and I were best friends. At age twenty-five, she was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As I became part of this family, and helped as much as I possibly could, I learned what this disease can do to everyone involved. Chris pours out his heart with unbelievable courage to tell the world about his mistakes, how you can still love life, and once again see the light at the end of the tunnel. The author tells the readers about his feelings, emotions, and experiences as multiple sclerosis progressively worsened. More important, he describes how a disability can not only destroy the person who has it, but everyone he comes in contact with. In many cases, the misery and anger felt by the person who is disabled is also felt by his caretakers, and loved ones. This memoir of tender feelings is heartfelt, funny, and uplifting. The story is enormously entertaining as we read about a life lived by a man who is filled with faith, and spirit. His encouraging words conveyed to the public to be there for the joy, the tears, and each other, will truly leave an afterthought in the mind of every reader. I recommend this book to everyone who had to deal with a disability of any kind, and to everyone who is married, or is engaged. Chris clearly defines the building blocks of marriage, why those blocks may begin to crumble, and how to prevent those blocks from falling. The trials and tribulations of Chris M. Tatevosian's life is an inspiration to us all.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;"LIFE INTERRUPTED: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME" is as heartwarming and emotional as&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;PATCH ADAMS with Robin Williams.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1479857382889357259-4388716978131015436?l=reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/feeds/4388716978131015436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1479857382889357259&amp;postID=4388716978131015436' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4388716978131015436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1479857382889357259/posts/default/4388716978131015436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reviewedbyauthorgeriahearn.blogspot.com/2009/07/reviewlife-interrupted-its-not-all.html' title='*****REVIEW~~LIFE INTERRUPTED: IT&apos;S NOT ALL ABOUT ME~~CHRIS M.

As they begin this incredible mysterious journey through the hidden family secrets, they begin to realize the dark journey might be "Mission Impossible!" Why did it take sixty years for Donald to meet his biological mother?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who murdered Donald's biological father? Did Donald's mother poison her husband? As the journey on the road to horror continues, the reader sits on the edge of her seat as chills tingle her spine, and the suspense has only just begun. As you continue to follow this disturbing journey into deception, conflict, and murder, you realize that maybe some questions were better off to be left unanswered. John Wayne Cargile uses his expertise in psychology, and knowledge in religion to create an intriguing plot, with entertaining characters. This novel is packed with action and drama through surprising twists-and-turns to the end of the story. For the icing on the cake, the author covers the pages with reality, insanity, and a blend of romance. For added touches, he throws in madness, greed, and probable cause for some flawed personalities that we usually see behind closed doors of a mental institution. I recommend this book to all mystery lovers who enjoy suspense, combined with action, and romance. The type of characters that the author created are as colorful as those you see in any of Alfred Hitchcock's finest movies. Did Donald and Anne find out too much? Was Donald's father in the Mafia? How many people were involved in the terrorist plot, and who knew about this conspiracy? As the reader follows the journey of deceit, the soap opera explodes as the saga continues in an ugly world of fear and regret, left open for a perfect sequel.
