5 Star REVIEW~~"FORK IN THE ROAD TO APOCALYPSE" Author JEFF GONSALVES
"THE FINE LINE BETWEEN NIGHTMARE AND REALITY IN A HAIR-RAISING RIDE!"
Elliot Anderson creates bizarre illusions in his own battle with his psychic mind, his mother is manic-depressive, and his uncle sets out on a mission to protect Elliot, regardless of the consequences. Is Elliot dangerous, and how does one control his homicidal impulses? Chuck works for the government, but does his plans become Mission Impossible? Interrogation showed proven results that Elliot can alter reality, was he selected to be used for military combat, and why did he resist? When Elliot was imprisoned, what steps did his uncle take? Can Elliot control his psychic ability, and who does he use it against? Why did Elliot's mother lock him up in the house, and what did he transform his home into? What struggles must Elliot's uncle deal with, what is his nephew capable of, and how far will Elliot go? Why does Jerry hate himself, is Joey violent, and who is the insane android assassin? How disturbed can Elliot become under extreme stress, and what can he do to his victims? I highly recommend this novel to all science fiction lovers, who enjoy thrilling stories, filled with suspense. Jeff Gonsalves becomes a Master storyteller as he creates an earth-shattering adventure that rivets and amazes. The characters are colorful, and the unique story is covered in explosive, non-stop action, made for the movie screen. What kind of chaos will result in Elliot's actions? Do health issues rise, and what will be the outcome? Does Elliot's psychic ability need to be terminated, can he be saved, and who will survive? "FORK IN THE ROAD TO APOCALYPSE" is as chilling as VIRUS, as terrifying as THE LANGOLIERS, and as haunting as THE FOG.

5 Star REVIEW~~"TRACTORS, PLANES, GOLF & DAMES" Author DON VOLK
A Memoir By DON VOLK
http://www.DonVolkBook.com
http://www.FiveStarPublications.com
http://www.amazon.com
http://www.barnesandnoble.com
"AN ENDEARING MEMOIR OF PASSION, LOVE AND INSPIRATION THROUGH LIFE'S JOURNEY!"
Don Volk penned an endearing memoir, dedicated to his family and friends with admiration, respect and inspiration to all readers. The author's autobiography captures his incredible journey through life as a Military Pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps, one remarkable man who served his country through three wars, pursued a career with the Professional Golf Association and shares his compassion about unconditional love for the special women in his life, who filled his heart with hope for the future. Don Volk shares with the reader his precious memories of what he learned from his parents as he grew up on a farm in Utah, what he learned about mechanical devices and engines which led him to a distinguished career with the U.S. Army Air Corps, how he began to serve his country at age eighteen, and the passion he had for golf. One man who drove tractors, then flew airplanes, while serving in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He conveys the compassion he had for Petie, Sandy, and Wandi through life's trials-and-tribulations. Three women in his life, who encouraged him to reach for the stars, and follow his dreams. One of the greatest accomplishments in the author's life is not about his personal achievements. Instead, it's about inspiring others to walk the many roads through life with persistence, hope, and faith. One man who tells his story about dedication and hard work as he followed the footsteps of his parents, with respect for life, and unconditional love. One man who served his country almost twenty-four years, gave over thirty years to the PGA, and inspires today's youth to follow their dreams as he did. "TRACTORS, PLANES, GOLF & DAMES: A Memoir By Don Volk" is filled with inspiration, motivation, and compassion.

5 Star REVIEW~~"STINGERS" Author W.G. GRIFFITHS
"A FUN-FILLED ADVENTURE BECOMES A LIFE-THREATENING ODYSSEY!"
Most twelve year old girls are into fashion, dance class, and music. But not Samantha Conway. Unlike her classmates, she lives in a world of her own. Sam gets her thrills on the baseball field, seeking revenge on the Mack Pack, and playing Town Security. Sam's high level of intelligence, curiosity and moral support from Tyler turns her thrilling adventures into an unforgettable terrifying experience that will get your adrenalin flowing. When Sam's father proudly gives her a new toy, did he put his invention into the wrong hands? What did Sam do with the Sound Shooter, how far did she go, and how far is too far? Sam's new toy offered intriguing possibilities, but did it also direct her to danger? Where did the Mack Pack chase Sam and Tyler, who becomes the predator, and who becomes the prey? Who came up with the plan to become the Stingers? Why did Sam and Tyler go to Jones Beach, who were they looking for? What made Tyler's mom cry uncontrollably, and was Sam's mission accomplished? why did Clemency give Jack and Jimmy back their jobs, with a fifty-percent raise? Who revealed Sam's identity to the mob? Did Sam manipulate Giovanni Scardino, and at what point does adventure turn into chaos? I highly recommend this action-packed novel to all adventure lovers who enjoy loads of unending fun, combined with drama and suspense. W.G. Griffiths takes the reader on one thrilling adventure that begins as delightful, and ends in a heart-pounding chase for survival. The author creates a clever, steadily engrossing thriller that entertains with colorful characters and powerful events page-after-page. How did Sam think that she was helping her father, why did Jack dislike Clemency, and was Jack in danger with Giovanni? Why did Giovanni fake a heart attack, did Tyler discourage Sam from spying at the Scardino estate, and was the Sound Shooter used as a bug for the Mafia? Did Sam find out too much in the conversation that Scardino had with his lawyer? Who saved Tyler's life from drowning, and how did Giovanni find out that Sam was hiding in his yard? How does the Sound Shooter wind up in the hands of a major organized crime boss? The game has ended, the fun is over for Sam and Tyler, time is running out as they run for their lives, who will survive? "STINGERS" is as captivating as WILD AMERICA and is as thrilling as THE JUROR, with Demi Moore, and Alec Baldwin.

5 Star REVIEW~~"FAR EAST OF THE SUN" Author Janina Stankiewicz Chung
AMAZON'S MOST HELPFUL FAVORABLE REVIEW
~Amazon Vine Voice~Geraldine Ahearn:"Author Geri Ahearn"
"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.

5 Star REVIEW~~"MERRYWEATHER LODGE:Ancient Revenge" Author Pauline Holyoak
"ONE CREEPY BONE-CHILLING THRILLER THAT WILL LEAVE YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!"
Emily is anxious to visit her aunt and uncle at their cozy cottage, located in the lush English countryside. During her visit, Emily is invited to sleep in the attic. Within a few minutes after her aunt brought her to her room, Emily felt a strange presence behind her, wondering if the experience was simply due to an overtired mind on an exhausting day of travel. As she tried to brush off the events that took place the night before, new events began to torment Emily the next day. What did she see in the mirror, was the doll still sitting on the rocking chair, and why did Wooky hiss and scratch Emily? Who turned the Eliss Family portrait upside down, and what was Emily's first impression of John McArthur? What did Emily feel when she shook hands with Jonathan, and did Emily's curiosity about the woodlot upset her aunt? What was chasing Emily and her aunt through the woods that made Emily extremely apprehensive? Who put the doll in Emily's bed? Emily found herself terrified and trembling, did the mystery that she found have something to do with her? Was Emily hallucinating, or did a ghost hiss at her as a putrid smell filled the room? Did anyone believe Emily, or did they all think that Emily was having nightmares? I highly recommend this spine-tingling novel to all thriller and mystery lovers, who enjoy intense suspense, with a blend of romance and humor. Pauline Holyoak becomes a Master storyteller as she fills each page with love, magic, and horror. The reader is invited to take an unforgettable roller-coaster ride as you witness the same terror as if viewing Hitchcock in his classic tradition. Does Emily become a target by mysterious spirits, while she's determined to unlock hidden secrets? The author paints each page with fantasy, colorful characters, and haunting events that would light up a movie screen. When Emily returns years later to find out the answers, who will be seeking revenge, and does Jonathan guide her in a dangerous mission? "MERRYWEATHER LODGE: Ancient revenge" is as scary as THE GLASS HOUSE, as mesmerizing as EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, and as gripping as DON'T SAY A WORD, with Michael Douglas.

5 Star~~AMAZON VINE REVIEW~~"LOST AND FOUND: Three By SHAUN TAN"
A NY Times Best Illustrated Book of 2009
Publisher's Weekly Best Book of 2009.
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.
