""A HEART-POUNDING ADRENALINE RUSH THAT WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS!"

Krogan, an unpredictable, repulsive murdering maniac embarks on a vicious, headline-grabbing killing rampage. 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.

~~REVIEW of 'DAY AFTER DAY~~

One strong voice speaks out in America, the Golden land of opportunity. 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!

"A MEMOIR OF SUCCESS, FAILURE AND SURVIVAL!"

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.

"A NAIL-BITING, BONE-CHILLING SPECTRUM OF TERROR!"

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.

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?

"EMOTIONAL, TOUCHING, HAUNTING!"

It was an era when the subject of madness within a family unit was silenced and hidden under the carpet. 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. In desperation, Margaret Robinson searches for answers as she faces one challenge after another. During her struggle to regain her sanity, after confronting psychological chaos, her soul begins to heal as her faith turned into writing.

"INCREDIBLE DETERMINATION TO SURVIVE THROUGH LOVE, COURAGE AND STRENGTH!"

One can only imagine the extraordinary suffering that took place, while living under Communist oppression and becoming a prisoner to horrific concentration camps. 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.

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?

Shaun Tan recently won an Oscar for his story 'THE LOST THING' within the pages of "LOST AND FOUND:Three.

"BRILLIANT, STUNNING and IMPRESSIVE!"

"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.

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!

5 Star REVIEW~~"SILENT SCREAMS from the HAMPTONS" Author CHRISTA JAN RYAN

2011-01-10T10:41:00.000-08:00

"A BEACON OF HOPE!"

A young, innocent child is born. 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.

AMAZON'S MOST HELPFUL, FAVORABLE REVIEW!

"COURAGE OVERCOMES CORRUPTION IN THE BATTLE FOR FREEDOM!"

Oliver Surefoot was raised in a loving, caring family. He was taught, along with his brothers what the true meaning of morals and values are. As a young boy, Oliver had many good qualities, and his curiosity and way of thinking made him different from his brothers. 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.

"IRRESISTIBLE FUN, EDUCATIONAL AND INSPIRING!"

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? Does charlene become a champion? "CHARLENE THE STAR" is funny, heartwarming, and as entertaining as THE HORSE WHISPERER!

2010-11-09T15:54:00.000-08:00

"MYSTERIOUS, CHILLING, AND COMPELLING!"

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."

"THE STRENGTH TO TRIUMPH OVER AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE WITH HONOR, DECENCY, AND COURAGE!"

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? Why did John walk with an awkward gait, and how did he lose the same leg that haunted him since childhood? Where did John meet Lydia, and how important was her father? Who kicked John's students out of the dormitory as Stewart College closed down, leaving John unemployed? Who shot Lady, and what did Haddonfield do to John at the bar? Why was John taken to prison, and what notes did he write in his pocket Bible? Why is the railroad bridge over the Cumberland River at Clarksville, Tennessee, significant to this compelling story? 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.

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?

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.

"EMOTIONAL, HEARTFELT, and ENTERTAINING!"

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.

5 Star REVIEW~"MEET POOKY: The New Kid" Author/Illustrator Domonique Mayhawk

2010-10-26T16:43:00.000-07:00

"DELIGHTFUL, EDUCATIONAL, and ENTERTAINING!"

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.

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 & FOREVER, and suspense continues with uncontrollable rage on the same scale as REVENGE, with Kevin Costner.

5 Star REVIEW~~"THE BOOK OF ELI" Author SAM MOFFIE

2010-03-11T12:22:00.000-08:00

"EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL, and SMASHINGLY EFFECTIVE!"

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?
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.

5 Star REVIEW~~"DIRE MEANS" Author GEOFFREY NEIL

2010-02-23T18:41:00.000-08:00

"A MESMERIZING MASTERPIECE OF THE UNEXPECTED!"

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.

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?

"DELIGHTFUL, ENTERTAINING, and EDUCATIONAL!"

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.

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?

Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review.

"A BREATHTAKING ADVENTURE OF STRENGTH, GRACE, AND COURAGE!"

Stephanie Duckworth-Elliot created a great adventure in a compelling

journey through an incredible story portrayed in the life of McKenzie

Jones, who was challenged by her teacher to present the history of her

Native American culture in front of the entire class. She is a proud, strong young woman, who believes in her Wampanoag heritage, and her

upbringing shines light into her heart. Although she works hard trying to

convince classmates of the history, and knowledge of her roots, can she

prepare decades of history in one weekend? Does her grandfather help

her to absorb the history and wisdom of the ancient Wampanoag culture, and is she confident to stand tall with her presentation? Will she

remember to present the morals and values of a proud culture, while removing misconceptions that exist, or will she face humiliation, and

disciplinary action? 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.

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

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.

and watching another repeated episode of Dragnet so that he can pretend that Sergeant Joe Friday is his father as of 1994. Sergeant Joe

Friday became Edward's father figure, after Edward's relationship with

his father began to deteriorate. Edward felt hatred and ambivalence

after his father hit him, and was forced to sign a memorandum of

understanding. Edward's life was controlled by his father through Jay

L. Lamb, who was an attorney for Edward's father. Ted Stanton, Edward's father, was not only rich, but also a very powerful politician

and was the county commissioner. Maureen Stanton, Edward's mother,

was detached from Edward most of his life, until her husband passed

away. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys an inspiring story,

blended with courage, and hope. This book is also educational as it

conveys the special needs of individuals who are diagnosed with

obsessive-compulsive disorders, and the various paths these individuals walk on to survive. Why did Edward read "The Billings Gazette" everyday, and why was he so fond of the Dallas Cowboys? Will Edward

always live alone in Montana, or will Donna, and Kyle be part of his life?

What does Maureen do when she finds out about the letters that Edward

received from Jay? Does Edward listen to Dr. Buckly, and does he defy

his father? What does Edward say in his "Dear God" letter? Will Edward's life always consist of patterns, facts, and files? "600 HOURS

OF EDWARD" is as heartfelt and touching as the movie AS GOOD AS

IT GETS with Jack Nicholson, and Helen Hunt.

5 Star REVIEW~~"SINS OF THE BORDER" Author LESLIE KOHLER

2009-10-29T11:55:00.000-07:00

5 Star REVIEW~~"FROM THE RUINS: A Daughter. A Refugee. An American Soldier." Author AIDA OSMANI

2009-10-19T13:05:00.000-07:00

"IMPRESSIVE, INSPIRING AND POWERFULLY MOVING!"

A young girl lived with her family, comfortable, and happy. At the age of

thirteen, her entire world shattered, like a broken glass. A brutal conflict

from the Balkan War, forced her to flee with her parents, moving from

village-to-village. Filled with fear, devastated, and deprived of her culture, she finds refuge in Germany with her parents. The morals and

values of her homeland no longer existed, while forced to conform to live

in a liberal, Western society. Why did Aida rebel, and detach herself

from the close bond with her parents? When the war ended, Aida's

parents returned to Bosnia, why didn't Aida join them? When did Aida

move to America, and enlist in the U.S. Army? Does she ever reunite

with her parents in Germany? I highly recommend this novel to all

non-fiction lovers, who enjoy a true story that's thrilling, chilling, and

packed with heartfelt emotion. I also recommend it to every woman, who

wish to become inspired through the strength, courage, and determination of Aida Osmani. Her top priority in publishing this book

was to reach out to every woman in the world, who experienced abuse

and humiliation, with a compassionate message that they can bury the

past, and once again live a happy life. Aida's motto is to bury the

negativity, and move on. How did Aida save her own life, and her

family? Did Aida's brother leave Bosnia before the war, and did she ever

see him again? How many people witnessed the nightmare of beatings,

torture, rape, and murder? How many people were deprived of food,

clothing, and shelter? How many victims were tormented for years by

the horror flashbacks of what they endured as a refugee? How many

people wandered from village-to-village in bitter cold, while starving,

and listening to horrific bombings? The author penned an incredible,

chilling, true story. The setting is realistic and the pages are filled with

drama,sorrow, mixed-emotions, and courage. The author was born in

Trnovac, Serbia, and raised in Bosnia. She came to the United States

in 1999, where she enlisted in the U.S. Army. She worked in Afghanistan, and is now a U.S. citizen, and proud Army veteran. The

author invites you to hop on a train and take a ride through the horror

of her past, to achieving the American dream with dignity, and honor!

"FROM THE RUINS: A Daughter. A Refugee. An American Soldier" is

as impressive as GONE WITH THE WIND with Clark Gable, and

Vivien Leigh.

5 Star REVIEW~~"HEALTH BEGINS IN THE COLON" by Dr. Edward F. Group III

2009-10-17T12:37:00.000-07:00

A Parental template For Giving Children A Voice

"AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR TEACHING AND DISCIPLINING

TECHNIQUES!"

In order to teach your child right from wrong, do parents in today's

world need to change? What behavior patterns did your parents use,

how did that make you feel? In today's world, both parents are forced to

work, how many hours a day is your child with teachers, and day care?

What happens when your child has lost respect for you, who is in control? Do you know what to do when your child does something wrong, and how do you react? What happens in the child's mind when

his parent is aggressive, angry, and threatening? Can overprotecting

your child hurt him? How effective is it to use positive word patterns

with your child? Author Bruce Benko has spent over twenty years working with more than 10,000 students as a gifted gymnastics coach.

Through his teaching career, he developed an understanding between

parent and child. His key to the golden door of a healthy parent-child

relationship is through a loving, compassionate, and nurturing environment. I highly recommend this book to all parents, teachers, and

child-care providers. The author, who has experience after talking with

5,000 parents and working with 100 educators can help parents learn

successful ways to become better parents, through a healthy bond between parent and child. What methods can you use as a parent to

make your child feel more secure? What happens to the child, when his

parent is inconsistent? What happens when a child does not thrive with

love, and understanding? Is school a lot more than just an academic

education, and what happens when a parent is not involved? The

author can answer these questions and more, while providing teaching

and discipline techniques for school, and home. In comparison to

DISCIPLINE WITH LOVE AND LOGIC, I found THE GYMNASTICS Of

LOVE & DISCIPLINE: A Parental Template For Giving Children A Voice

to be more effective in providing many examples, answers to important

questions, and powerful in speaking and listening techniques. This

easy-to-read professional guide is packed with helpful tips and parental

techniques, crucial to raising children through a healthy relationship,

with understanding, and success.

"A PROFESSIONAL, INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL GUIDE!"

In 2003, I walked into a Chevrolet showroom to purchase a new car for

my daughter. As I look back now, I remember being there from opening

to closing. After signing the contract, I realized that I wasn't prepared,

and I could have saved a lot of money. Since that sale, I've read many

books and did some research on how to buy a new car, or used car, and

what we should know about trading in your car. In comparison to

THE CAR BUYER'S BIBLE, HOW TO BUY A CAR, and BUYING A CAR

FOR DUMMIES, I found "INSIDE THE MINDS OF CAR DEALERS" to

be the most informative guide on this subject. If you want expert advice

on buying a car, then it would be logical to obtain the information from

someone who spent thirty years as a car salesman, who served an

estimated 2,800 customers per year. Ray Lopez worked for many top-notch leading dealerships such as Chrysler, Cadillac, and Nissan. Through the experience of his thirty year career, knowledge, and expertise, the author can educate the public on how to be a wise car

are provided on how to obtain the best deal, and many crucial factors

are included as to what to do, and what not to do. Did you ever go to

a showroom, and buy a car that you didn't want? Were you ever told

by a car salesman that you can afford to buy their new car? Were you

ever disrespected, or mistreated by a car salesman? Were you ever lured

into a factory discount? Ever gone for a test drive, but told you can't

drive it off the lot due to insurance liability? Ray Lopez can answer

these questions and many more, while showing you every trick of the

trade that can be used against you, through manipulative schemes. The

author reveals the biggest secrets in the car buying industry in this

unique, professionally written, informative guide. "INSIDE THE MINDS

OF CAR DEALERS" is something you may want to read again-and-again,

before walking into that showroom as a potential buyer. You will indeed

be prepared, and informed on how to become a composed car buyer.

Ray Lopez encourages you to do research, includes resources of what

to be aware of, and how to detect signs of being taken advantage of.

5 Star REVIEW~~"POWER'S GARDEN" Author DIANNE EBERTT BEEAFF

2009-10-03T17:25:00.000-07:00

"POWERFULLY MOVING"

We are taken back in this historical novel to 1917, when a tragic episode

marked the history of the American West, and the integration of the

Latter-Day-Saint culture. World War I rages in Europe, the Gila Valley

desert is attacked by a crippling drought, and the cultures of two

Southeastern Arizona families collide during difficult, economic times.

I highly recommend this novel to all historical fiction lovers, and to all

those who enjoy heartfelt emotion, with a blend of drama. Dianne Ebertt

Beeaff created a Masterpiece through the gripping story of a captivating,

historical event, during an era when politics and religion were under fire. The author includes rich historical detail, vivid imagery, and

heartwarming emotion. What was THE POWER'S BOYS, and what was

it used for? Was Mellie free to make her own decisions, and were her

choices controlled by others? How do the voices of Mellie, and Duett differ? What happened to Sarah, and who was the father of her baby?

What makes different cultures clash, and should secrets among families

be hidden, or shared? Who's responsible for the death of Billy Ben? Does Noah follow the doctrine of his Mormon faith? What really happened in

Kielberg Canyon, and will the truth ever prevail? Why didn't Mellie press

charges against Ephraim Heber for sexual assault? Who did Nephi confide in, when he heard voices, and saw visions? Did the war bring

the two families together, or seperate them? The Texan Brennicks, and

Mormon Beechams come to life, the plot is fascinating, and the story is

entertaining. Diane Ebertt Beeaff highlights human nature in this powerfully moving historical event, page-after-page as the story becomes

more interesting, and dramatic. Mixed-emotions cover the pages, while

the two families build a relationship from courage and strength, when

traditions are challenged, and different cultures learn the true definition

of love. "THE POWER'S GARDEN" is as intriguing and inspiring as

THE LAST SAMURAI, with Tom Cruise.

5 Star REVIEWThe SIN of Addison HallAuthor JEFFREY A. ONORATO~~

2009-09-30T13:25:00.000-07:00

"IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHO'S BY YOUR SIDE AND BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST!"

Addison Hall is a bright, average looking man, who lives in the city of Wakork, which is the second largest city in the country of Alpdon. He suffers from loneliness, is self-conscious, has a dry sense of humor, and visualizes his life as a

burden. His speech is stammered whenever he speaks, and his increased sweating,

and hidden fears are the results of his anxiety. He was treated with disrespect and

humiliation from Mimi, Lenina, and Julia, realizing he's not a big hit with dating

women. He worried about finding a soul mate, because he was over age thirty, and

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

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

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

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

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

captivating as THE GREEN MILE, with Tom Hanks.

2009-09-27T20:04:00.000-07:00

"RADIANT, ROMANTIC AND INSPIRING!"

How do you keep the flame of love from burning out in a marriage? How do you avoid becoming another sad statistic of divorce? What does a

successful marriage demand? What does commitment mean, and what

is its value in unconditional love? Will a marriage work if we don't believe in both romance, and reality? Should each partner know the true

definition of expectations, and boundaries, and when we should not cross them? Why should conflicts always be resolved in a marriage? Why is it important to be open and honest with each other? How important

is love, acceptance, and respect in every marriage? How should couples

deal with psychological, emotional, and spiritual repercussions? What happens when a partner changes in a marriage, and how should each

partner deal with it? Why is it important to know who you are, and what you want in a marriage? What happens in a marriage when communication is nonexistent? Lisa Pankau has presented these questions, with solutions, and helpful tips in "BEYOND SEDUCTION."

Her greatest passion is to help other people find love and keep it forever,

while she encourages education, and a thirst for a deeper understanding

of strength, and spiritual growth. The author has experienced life at

both ends as a divorcee and a widow, from dread and despair, to the

untold bliss of true love. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who is searching for a soul mate, for all married couples, and to anyone who

seeks advice on how to spice up a relationship. This book is an excellent

resource on how to make a relationship grow in strength, and how to

hold on to what you have. The author includes helpful tips with Aromatherapy recipes, music, and sensual atmospheres. She shares

helpful hints in role playing and sensory acknowledgment, while

discussing the importance of trust, confidence, and intimacy between

each partner. Lisa Pankau's presentation, based on experience and knowledge, is thought-provoking, uplifting and inspiring. She gently takes the reader by the hand, shows them the ultimate importance of an open mind and heart, and how love can continue to grow in spirit, and

strength. "BEYOND SEDUCTION: Loving Without Limits" is as radiant

as MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, and as irresistible as UNDER TUSCAN

SUN, with Diane Lane.

5 Star REVIEWIGGY THE IGUANAAuthor Melissa M. Williams~~

2009-09-26T18:05:00.000-07:00

"ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"

The hero in this delightful children's story is Iggy, who is a loveable nine

year old, and the new kid on the block. It's hard enough that Iggy has to

deal with his smart, sassy younger sister, but there are other issues that

he must also challenge. As Iggy prepares to enter a public school for the

first time in his life, not knowing anyone, he realizes that he needs to make lots of friends. Along with trying to prove himself worthy, he is forced to deal with bullies, and his first childhood crush. Snap Shell, Kit Kat, and Molly all have unique personalities, and are extremely funny.

Dragon D tries to act very cool, but does this type of personality fade away, after everyone really gets to know you? Does Iggy have a tough time

trying to fit in, and who makes him feel comfortable? How does Iggy feel

about Lizbeth? Does Iggy survive the trials and tribulations of his age

group on his journey through elementary school? I highly recommend

this wonderful children's book that will touch the hearts of all ages. Children will be able to relate to the story, and learn from those lessons

through a fun, easy, and humorous read. Melissa M. Williams presents

everyday issues, along with simple solutions in an interesting story, with

adorable characters. This book will encourage children to be considerate

and caring, with a positive attitude. 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?

The characters come to life as Iggy and his friends experience their first school year together, issues get resolved, and emotions become heartfelt

in this educational, children's adventure. "IGGY THE IGUANA" is as

thrilling as Walt Disney's LADY AND THE TRAMP, and as funny as

CHICKEN LITTLE.

5 Star REVIEWTHE OCEAN BETWEENBy Author LYNDA COKER

2009-09-24T12:56:00.000-07:00

"A TRULY SPECTACULAR STORY IN A BREATHTAKING ROMANTIC

ADVENTURE!"

It has been noted for decades that in the world of romance and relationships, opposites attract, and statistics have shown that many still

believe it. Unfortunately, this is a myth for Victoria Ballard, even though

her new prince charming is tall, dark and handsome. However, the reason why this is a myth in Victoria's situation is because she was forced to marry Prince Rashid Davar, through a marriage contract that

was made between her father, and Rashid. Victoria's father, who was the

light of her life, agreed on the contract to ensure his peace of mind, prior

to his passing. He wanted his daughter to be in good hands. Although

his intentions were loving and caring for his daughter's well-being, a

forced marriage left Victoria in total devastation, especially when Rashid

was the type of man she feared. To make matters worse, she had no

intentions to engage in a relationship, or consider marriage. She worked

hard, and devoted her life to climbing the ladder of success. She achieved, and her goals and dreams were to continue to improve her

career as a New York financal executive. Her father, her career, and her

independence meant everything to her, until her entire world fell apart.

How does Victoria survive in a forced marriage, with a man she wants

to run from, who is known to her as ruthless? Does Victoria and Rashid

find love, or a dangerous affair? What tragedy happened in Victoria's

life that she takes the blame for? What happened to Victoria's brother?

How far does Victoria go with her resentment to Rashid? Why was Victoria determined to reach the top of her father's corporation? I highly

recommend this novel to all Contemporary Romance lovers and to those

who enjoy adventure, combined with drama. Lynda Coker created a plot

that draws the reader's attention from page-to-page with vivid imagery

in a powerfully moving story of love, betrayal, and redemption. The title

fits the story like a glove, the characters come to life, and the adventure

is filled with challenges as two cultures clash. "THE OCEAN BETWEEN"

is as heartbreaking as NOW & FOREVER and contains as much shifting

drama as Danielle Steel's KALIDOSCOPE, with Jaclyn Smith, and Perry

King.

5 Star REVIEWThe Organ Grinder And The MonkeyAuthor SAM MOFFIE

2009-09-22T18:11:00.000-07:00

"HILARIOUS, OUTRAGEOUS AND TOTALLY ENTERTAINING!"

Inspired by the work of Sam Moffie, after reading NO MAD, I was extremely

pleased to find that THE ORGAN GRINDER AND THE MONKEY is as descriptive,

and intelligent. The author is one of a kind, a master in creating unique

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

trip to New York to fulfill his dream. Irving decides that he wants to join the

New York City Police Department, after his haunting memory of being lost on a

field trip in his younger days, and being rescued by a police officer. Although

Constance has a wealthy family, the good fortunes were never shared with her.

Her dream in life is to become a Rockette, but after moving to New York City,

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

outrageous, humorous story in non-stop action, page-after-page. The life of each

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

world, and learn through experience the difference between dreams, and reality.

I highly recommend this novel to contemporary fiction lovers, and anyone who

enjoys an interesting story, packed with emotion, and humor. Sam Moffie has an

incredible imagination as he paints his creativity into an unforgettable dialogue,

while the fast-paced storytelling moves along with delight. Does Constance survive

New York City? What factors in Seymour's life left him emotionally traumatized?

Do the three characters share anything in common? How did Irving's upbringing

influence his attitude on the solutions to life's problems? As we read on, the

author invites you to step into a roller-coaster-ride of mixed-emotions, broken

dreams, and psychological twists-and-turns through the lives of dysfunctional

personalities. The more you read, the more addicted you become to Sam Moffie's

distinctive, refreshing, and hilarious voice. "THE ORGAN GRINDER AND THE MONKEY" is as entertaining as TRADING PLACES and as funny as ANALYZE THIS,

of Willy, and Sydni in the fight for survival, and homeland. As the story

blossoms, the reader can detect good versus evil in this fast paced space

fascinating adventure as you join them on a captivating roller-coaster-ride of mixed emotions on an intergalactic journey you will never forget.

"SCOUT SQUAD: Going Native" is as clever as MEN IN BLACK, and as

intense as Steven Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS, with Tom Cruise.

5 Star REVIEWPROPHECY OF POWER By Author ANDREW PARKER

2009-09-20T18:44:00.000-07:00

"AN INGENIOUS SUSPENSE THAT RATCHETS UP THE TENSION INCH-BY- INCH!"

Inspired by Michael Connelly and John Grisham, along with his passion

for writing, Andrew Parker created a spectacular chilling story in his

Masterpiece, titled "Prophecy Of Power." Jacob Droutman was tormented for a long time, by a sad, haunting memory of the disapperance of his older brother. While Jacob preaches at the synagogue in New York as a rabbi, he tries to follow his father's footsteps,

but has always been confused about the teachings of his own religion,

curious to learn about different religions. Jacob meets a young woman,

who is interested in details on Jacob's life history, because her own brother also disappeared, along with her brother's two friends. Ayn

encouraged Jacob to read about a story, involving three Jewish students,

claiming they found a lost tomb. As Jacob began to investigate, he found

out the discovery did not take place, and a student disappeared. Who was John Duncan, how well did Ayn know him, and why was he delared

a danger to national security? Jacob's investigation began to bloom, while his apartment is searched, and his landlord is murdered. who did

Jacob have to follow, and who was following him? Who stole the papers

from a CIA agent, and how did they end up in Jacob's hands? I highly

recommend this book to all mystery, and thriller lovers. The story is

incredible, the setting is realistic, and the characters come to life. Furthermore, the author penned a nail-biting and suspenseful plot,

which is totally entertaining page-after-page, made for the movie screen.

Why was Ayn murdered? Follow Jacob's journey from New York to

Israel as his investigation explodes, while he walks in the same path as

the missing students did. What does he find in Jerusalem, can answers

be found in a buried tomb, and who is the next prophetic world power?

What is found in Daniel's Prophecy, does Jacob uncover the truth he

searched for, or does his journey become Mission Impossible? Andrew

Parker's "PROPHECY OF POWER" is as electrifying as 15 MINUTES,

and portrays an imaginatively living suspense on the same scale as

FRANTIC, with Harrison Ford.

Ranked on Amazon As The Most Helpful Favorable Review!

"A BREATHTAKING ADVENTURE OF STRENGTH, GRACE, AND COURAGE!"

Stephanie Duckworth-Elliot created a great adventure in a compelling

journey through an incredible story portrayed in the life of McKenzie

Jones, who was challenged by her teacher to present the history of her

Native American culture in front of the entire class. She is a proud,

strong young woman, who believes in her Wampanoag heritage, and

her upbringing shines light into her heart. Although she works hard

trying to convince classmates of the history, and knowledge of her

roots, can she prepare decades of history in one weekend? Does her

grandfather help her to absorb the history and wisdom of the ancient

Wampanoag culture, and is she confident to stand tall with her

presentation? Will she remember to present the morals and values of

a proud culture, while removing misconceptions that exist, or will she

face humiliation, and disciplinary action? 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. The author painted a portrait of

vivid imagery, 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 to grow in spirit,

while claiming her Wampanoag identity? "PONEASEQUA: The Goddess

Of The Waters" is as entertaining as THE HORSE WHISPERER, and as

inspiring as Walt Disney's TUCK EVERLASTING.

5Star REVIEW~"HOLY SHIT: A Brief Look At Christianity's Problem" By Author DAUSON LOVI

2009-09-16T14:01:00.000-07:00

"IMPRESSIVE, PASSIONATE AND INSPIRING!"

Dauson Lovi conducted research on the doctrine of the trinity, views on

Christianity ideology, and a realistic view on the writings of the Bible.

The author presents documentation and results obtained from the

trinity, discusses Moses, and translation of the word God, and its

symbolic use. Although God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost remain a

controversial subject among various religions, it remains the backbone

of faith for the author. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys

reading history on Christian religions, doctrines, and the impact on

American society. Dauson Lovi's presentation in his first novel is based

on his studies, after twelve years of research. His interest in matters of

religion, politics, and history throughout the past decade has become

his passion for writing, and devotion to research. The author invites the

reader to explore Christianity under a different light. Would you like to

read a collection of thoughts, which illustrate the problems facing

Christianity? Do you enjoy mythology? If you are interested in following

the scriptures, and evidence on misconstrued metaphors, then this book

is a good choice. How many people believe, and follow the readings

in the Bible? Are there misinterpretations of the doctrine of the trinity?

Why was the word Elohim used in the Bible, and what does it translate?

The author's presentation includes discussion on the Golden Rule,

the creation of evil, and the teachings of intolerance. Furthermore, Dauson Lovi describes the different books of scripture that are

followed throughout the world of religion, confirming the trinity in

different places. "HOLY SHIT: A Brief Look At Christianity's Problem"

is as interesting and impressive as THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, with

Mel Gibson.

5Star REVIEW ~The Attitude Girl~MILA BERNADKIN

2009-09-13T09:14:00.000-07:00

"ENTERTAINING AND TOUCHING!"

Most teenagers, especially in today's society not only have to battle with

being too young for the adults and being too old for the younger children,

but are forced to face peer-pressure and the demands of America's economy

in need. Victoria Benson is not classified as the average shy, follow-all-your-

friends typical teenager. She may have similar issues that most seventeen

year old girls experience, but she is also different in other ways. She's honest

and open, not afraid to speak her mind, whether she has permission to, or

not. Victoria will indeed find many closed doors in life as we all do. She will

have her ups-and-downs, fall, and get up again. But her quality of honesty

will be her key to open up new doors, after learning life's tough lessons.

The experience of hard knocks and falls will help her to better understand

other people, and become more sympathetic, and passionate. I highly

recommend this novel for young adults. All the characters are realistic,

most teenagers will be able to relate to Vicky's issues, and the story is

true to life. How does Vicky deal with the wicked girls who torment? Does

Vicky adjust to the financial burdens within her family unit, and does she

continue to be selfish? Is it Vicky's attitude that gets her in trouble, or her

honesty? Take an emotional roller-coaster-ride with Vicky through financial

highs-and-lows, difficult relationships, and changes after her father

abandoned her, and her mother. Follow Vicky's path as she blossoms to

maturity, after surviving many unexpected storms that life throws upon

us. The reader will witness how peer-pressure, and lifestyles influence

the road to adulthood. "THE ATTITUDE GIRL" is as entertaining as

ERIN BROCKOVICH, and as deeply moving as A WALK TO REMEMBER with

Shane West, and Mandy Moore.

By Author Kathy Almeida And Author Gayle Nobel

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

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

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

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

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

Almeida and Gayle Nobel show the reader the exact necessities of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the importance of bonding relationships. Each author clearly specifies

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

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

to lead productive lives through constant praise, and encouragement,

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

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

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

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

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

with Tom Cruise, and Dustin Hoffman.

*****REVIEW BLOOD WEB: A Caitlin Diggs NovelBy Author GARY STARTA

2009-08-29T10:11:00.000-07:00

Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review!

"AN EXPLOSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

predicted nightmare that technology could dominate the world is portrayed

through charismatic characters, disturbing violence, and spellbinding drama.

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

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

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

Anthony Hopkins.

2009-08-28T10:25:00.000-07:00

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

"FUNNY, ENTERTAINING, AND TOUCHING!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack Lemmon, and Walter Matthau.

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

2009-08-23T19:18:00.000-07:00

"ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"WILD, FUNNY AND TOUCHING!"

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

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

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

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

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

*****REVIEW RAELIKSEN AUTHOR RENEE VINCENT

2009-08-08T16:04:00.000-07:00

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"AN IMPRESSIVE, PASSIONATE MEMOIR FOR THE LOVE OF LIFE"

As I read through the life of 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

with a family that I wouldn't trade for the world. A Doctor that I had the honor of meeting

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.

"LIFE INTERRUPTED: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME" is as heartwarming and emotional as

"A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE OF THRILLS AND CHILLS!"

Donald Drummond, and his wife Anne were both retired from professional careers, and agreed to go on a mission to unravel a mystery in Donald's extremely dysfunctional family. 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?

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. "THE CRY OF THE CUCKOOS" is a mesmerizing Masterpiece

of the unexpected, and is as thrilling as THE DEVIL'S OWN with Harrison Ford,

and Brad Pitt.
