5 Star REVIEW~~"BE EMPOWERED! EAT CHOCOLATE WITH BREAKFAST" by Author JAN BETHANCOURT

"HEARTFELT, COMFORTING, AND INSPIRING!"

A Finalist in the USA Book News BEST BOOK AWARDS for 2010, artist, author and motivational public speaker Jan Bethancourt transforms a childhood admonition into metaphorical words of encouragement in her book BE EMPOWERED! EAT CHOCOLATE WITH BREAKFAST, which inspires women of all ages. It all began when Jan sent her daughter a series of short encouraging emails, when Sarah was in college, who was captivated by her mother's unique way of sharing wisdom. Sarah encouraged Jan to share her insight and comfort with women throughout the world. In the first year, after publication, Jan sold 1700 copies of her inspirational Masterpiece that nourishes the body, mind and spirit. Her sayings are an open invitation to each individual to recognize their gifts, identify their goals, and trust their abilities. The author challenges each reader to embrace these empowering qualities. I highly recommend this book to any individual, who searches for a refreshing, comforting, and inspirational read. A watercolor artist of over fifty years, Jan's illustrations are cheerful, gently blended with uplifting messages. The author uses chocolate throughout the book as a metaphor for nourishing the spirit, to unleash a woman's strength. The author's colorful sayings are reassuring to the heart and soul, acknowledging the good times in our lives, while comforting our way through times of sadness, and sorrow. This book tugs at the heart, while motivating all women as it encourages confidence and self-esteem, through a creative approach to coping with everyday stress that life throws upon us. A great way to boost the ego, after feeling compassion, and the gift of those peaceful moments we all search for!

5 Star REVIEW~~"CAPTURING KARMA: The Sullivan Boys, Book Three" by K.M. DAUGHTERS

"THERE IS A SPECTRUM OF TERROR THAT ONLY A FEW CAN SEE!"

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

5 Star REVIEW~~" MYSTIC IN A MINIVAN" by Author KRISTEN WHITE

"CAPTIVATING, INSPIRING, and HILARIOUS!"

Through the eyes of Jenna Sinclair, Kristen White explores the life of a mom, who like many women are in search for their own identity, their sole purpose in life. Jenna is a suburban mom, a wife, and a woman who wears many hats. She finds herself trapped in the everyday frustrations in life of trying desperately to please everyone, realizing that she has the answers to care for others, and places herself on the bottom of her list. The author invites the reader to take a journey through Jenna's hilarious lifestyle, packed with drama, and heartfelt emotion. As Jenna struggles through life's commands and demands, before reaching the ultimate brink of insanity,she finds herself, before mid-life crisis attacks in its worst form. Her life has consisted of an addiction to drama, gossip, and complaining. She wakes up one day, realizing that the life she has been living is chaotic and superficial, but that's all about to change, because her wake-up call forces her to make a complete U-turn. I highly recommend this novel to all women, who have walked on the tough road of struggling the responsibilities of raising children, being a good wife, along with fulfilling endless duties on an everyday basis. Too often, Jenna hears the words that many of us have heard over-and-over, from the backseat of your car, are we there yet? What's for dinner, and do I have to eat that? Will we be late? You need to take me here, and pick me up there! What should I wear? Who will help me clean my room? Facing the life she lives, Jenna begins to search for personal rebirth, while setting out on a mission to seek new opportunities, along with gratitude. The pages in this book are covered in excitement as we witness the direction of life's changes for Jenna Sinclair. Jenna once forgot who she was, during a time when she cared about others more than herself, but a delightful awakening leads Jenna on a new path, that will indeed change her entire life.The story is packed with witty humor as it demonstrates how challenging life can be. Kirsten White colors the pages with comical wisdom, and the story is inspiring to all women. "MYSTIC IN A MINIVAN" is as entertaining as ERIN BROCKOVICH, with Julia Roberts.

5 Star REVIEW~~"THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR" By Author LYNNE ELLISON

http://www.amazon.com/

http://www.cnposnerbooks.co.uk/

"A MAGICAL, THRILLING, SPECTACULAR ADVENTURE!"

Inspired by historical novels, which was Lynne Ellison's favorite reading material for many years, she created a Masterpiece of historical adventure. This novel fills the pages with fantasy as it takes the reader on an amazing journey, after Karen looks into an ancient mirror that she found buried on the beach, and is transported back in time to the Roman empire. What trials and tribulations must Karen face, during her struggles to return to her own time? I highly recommend this book to all fantasy lovers, children, and young adults. The adventure is breathtaking, the story is spectacular, and the unique characters come to life. The last thing Karen remembered was glancing into the mirror, while daydreaming, what happened to the island, and where did she wind up? How many years did the mirror take her back in time? Who asked Karen if she was a runaway slave, and where did he take her? What was Darvus ordered to do for Karen? Who was Cordella, and what did she give Karen? Where did Karen meet Kleon? Who bought Karen, and where was she going, after the auction? Where did Karen meet Locusta, and how did Locusta hide from the soldiers? Did Locusta's magic help Karen find her way through the dark passages? Does Karen find her way back to where it all began, and is there a happy ending? Find out the answers in this breathtaking adventure as we follow Karen to see if there will be light at the end of the tunnel. "THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR" is as mysterious as LEFT BEHIND and as captivating as Steven Spielberg's, THE GOONIES.

5 Star REVIEW~~"WE LOVE TO CHEER OUR ABCs" by Author J.HALE TURNER

Subtitle: " Featuring The ABC Cheer Babies"

http://www.amazon.com/

"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 children's 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.

**THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR** by Author LYNNE ELLISON

Genre: Historical/Fantasy/ Children/Young Adult

http://www.amazon.com/

http://www.cnposnerbooks.co.uk/

~~~UPDATED BIO~~~

At the time of writing the book, I was a dreamy, bookish teenager whose favourite

reading material was historical novels. The longer the better, and Lord Of The Rings. I wasn't needing to work very hard at school, so some of it was written

at the back of the class, while listening with half an ear to the lesson. Subsequently, real life took over in the form of A-levels, uni, earning a living and

having children later on. So, I haven't thought much of writing since. I had consigned the "GREEN BRONZE MIRROR" to the dustbin of history. In fact, was so

amazed to receive a letter out of the blue from an Oxford publisher who I never

met, saying that he was interested in re-issuing it. I'm pleased with the new edition, especially that it includes pictures. The first version didn't, which was a

shame. I have had a number of different jobs, including running riding holidays

in the Scottish borders, teaching English to foreigners, a logistics-type job in a

computer firm and now I'm a Speech and Language Therapist. Future plans include walking the Pyrenees from coast-to-coast, spending time in Tibet, and living on a canal boat for a year. Maybe, another book idea will come from some of that.

5 Star REVIEW~~"PIECES" by Author JULIA DUDEK

"A TERRIFYING CYCLE OF RETRIBUTION, RAGE, AND A PASSION!"

Julia Dudek takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride through a dark, twisted tunnel as it enters the human psyche. The ride begins slow, then speed picks up, and suddenly you feel like you're on a rocket. As you wait to see if there will be light at the end of that horrifying tunnel as chills go up your spine, while sitting on the edge of your seat, you witness a heart-pounding thriller. This compelling, nail-biting story portrays the terrible truths that hide behind everyday appearances. The plot is a spellbinding, chilling journey that reveals just how little we know about the world around us. The pages are filled with revenge, passion, and rage, with a spectrum of terror that only a few can see. Evil has its winning ways, but how far will Angelique McCourt go to seek her revenge on Bernadette's killer? Will Angelique find the mysterious pieces to the bizarre puzzle? This spine-tingling suspenseful journey will continue through relentless psychological torment. How many victims will detective Ben Marsden find, and does he solve the puzzle before Angelique? On the quest of vengeance for the murder of her best friend, does Angelique's life fall apart, and how does she change? Does an intelligent beauty queen, with a photographic memory battle a blood-thirsty monster, and where does she find that demon? As rage and danger light up the pages, while Angelique embarks on a ruthless mission to hunt the killer, who's on the hunt for her? Does Angelique's mission become seductive and deadly to find the missing pieces? Will passion distort the hidden truth in the case? After suffering the loss of a loved one, then jumping into the mind of a deranged killer, will Angelique survive her struggles for justice as she faces her worst fears? I highly recommend this novel to all thriller lovers. The pages are packed with drama, the characters are intriguing, and the plot explodes into an entertaining, psychological thriller. The author cleverly defines the good, the bad, and the evil through characters that come to life in a twisted, emotional story. "PIECES" is as chilling as DON'T SAY A WORD, as intense as ALONG CAME A SPIDER, and as suspenseful as THE BONE COLLECTOR, with Denzel Washington, and Angelina Jolie.

5 Star REVIEW~~"BUTTERFINGERS AND SECRETS" by Author/Artist MORGAN FITZSIMONS

"CAPTIVATING, ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"

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 very clumsy, and her magic didn't always turn out to be the way she wanted it. She tried to remove the rainbow stripes from her talking cat, but failed. She attempted to help her talking owl, so that the owl could communicate with other owls, but failed. Maisy was one not to give up, so one day while going to visit Egbert, she decided to fetch ingredients to fix her cat. However, she was distracted in the woods by Leo, and a young girl crying. Melissa ran away from her evil uncle, and Leo did not know who he was. Maisy welcomed Leo and Melissa to live with her, so that Melissa would be safe, and Leo could help out with chores, while watching over Melissa. While collecting herbs in Maisy's garden, Melissa was taken away by her uncle's men to the castle, after the villain hit Leo. Why did uncle Tarquin want Melissa dead, before the age of eighteen? Why couldn't Leo remember who he was? Who gave Maisy the nickname of Butterfingers? Who was Prince Christian, and what happened to him in the woods? Who joins Maisy to rescue Melissa, who was locked away in the castle? Who does Egbert use a magic reversing spell on? Who rode the broomstick, which became a white horse, and where were they going? Does Tarquin pay for his cruelty, and greed? Who poisoned the king, and why? Who was Jack, and what did he tell Maisy? Who was bardolf, and what did Tarquin order him to do? I highly recommend this fascinating and educational story to children of all ages, filled with magical powers in a thrilling adventure. Morgan Fitzsimons, author and artist, created a complete triumph, which turns into a Masterpiece of delightful entertainment. Creatures come to life, and cat and owl light up the pages with humor. The unforgettable characters are impressive as drama continues in the unpredictable castle. Do the knights win the battle, and does Melissa find freedom? What happens to Leo, and did the toad eat the fly? Find out the moral to the story in this outrageous odyssey of fun and fantasy as the epic adventure unfolds in this amazing, magical world. "BUTTERFINGERS AND SECRETS" is as enchanting as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, as captivating as HARRY POTTER, and as hilarious as SHREK THE THIRD.

5 Star REVIEW~~"PONEASEQUA: GODDESS OF THE WATERS" Author STEPHANIE A. DUCKWORTH-ELLIOT

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 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 MKenzie

to grow in spirit, while claiming her Wampanoag identity? "PONEASEQUA: GODDESS OF THE WATERS" is as entertaining as THE HORSE WHISPERER, and is as inspiring as Walt Disney's TUCK EVERLASTING.

**Welcome Back Author JEFFREY B. ALLEN** Author Of: "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND"

Welcome Back Jeffrey!

Author of: "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND: BOOK 1/Second Edition

Genre: Fantasy

5 Star REVIEW- http://www.amazon.com/

http://www.jeffreyballen.com/

Jeffrey B. Allen will be at the Allentown Brew Works, mezzanine level,

for a Release Celebration, and Book Signing on December 10th at

7:30 PM. All are invited. Special give-aways and contest prizes will be

announced.

~~~~AUTHOR BIO~~~~

Jeffrey B. Allen was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1953.

He graduated High School from Central Bucks East in Doylestown.

He studied art at Bloomsburg University for two years, before

attending Boston University, where he majored in history and

minored in set design, and fine art. A one year hiatus in the form of a

hitchhiking trip, helped appease his restless, and inquisitive nature.

Allen attributes that early journey to laying the foundations for his

strong views on politics, and religion. Later, he traveled through Europe

and Mexico, forming some strong opinions concerning the relationship

between history, politics and religion. Those years of learning, searching, and questioning have contributed greatly to the

philosophical depth of Allen's writing.

Allen graduated from Millersville State University in Architectural

design, and taught for two years, while also working toward his

Masters Degree at Temple University in Philadelphia. After a brief

teaching career, he created his own Architectural woodworking firm

in 1980.

By 1982, Allen was owner and president of Artistic Furnishings

Incorporated, a design house and manufacturer of custom

Architectural millwork. The company employed designers, artisans,

and support staff. His work can be seen throughout eastern

Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey in private residences, and

businesses. During those years, he traveled at home and abroad and

studied the Architectural works, both classical and modern, within

every city he visited. The inventiveness of the architect, and the

genius of structural engineering amazed him. "So much of history

can be discovered within the architecture of civilized man."

In 1996, Allen received his fifty ton U.S. Coastguard captain's license,

and followed that with extensive sailing adventures, and chartered

voyages. In 2006, Allen received the Holt Businessman-of-the-year

award. In 2007, He sold his Architectural woodworking business,

and soon after published his first novel, "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND."

~~AUTHOR BIO~~

Mark Stephen Levy wove certain portions of his traveling adventures

from his own love story, which was partly the inspiration for his first

novel, "OVERLAND." He met his wife, Eliane, originally from France,

while on a camel safari in the Rajasthan Desert in India. They have now

been married for twenty-three years, and have an eighteen-year-old

daughter, Celine. His two year round-the-world journey included all

throughout Europe, India, Nepal, Tibet and beyond.

Levy was born and raised in Los Angeles, but moved to Denver with his

family, thirteen years ago. He works as a technology salesperson, but

in his free time enjoys developing more stories and writing them, and

takes breaks by mixing music on his favorite Web site, blip.fm.

"OVERLAND" is his first published work, but plans to write several

more novels, and looks to develop "OVERLAND" as a screenplay in the

near future. He is passionate about transforming "OVERLAND" into a

movie, as the story is the kind of a sweeping epic that would translate

wonderfully into a movie audience from all demographics and around

the world would enjoy, as they will with the book.

He wishes that after reading the book, his readers will be stirred enough

to somehow devote a greater length of time to travel, than the customary

one week, and to more exotic locations. "Not only would any one of

these places change the way you think, it would give you the perspective

of where you live when you return home, and to inspire you to a greater

good, or cause. More importantly, you will finally meet up with someone

you've wanted to know forever...you!"

5 Star REVIEW~"600 Hours of Edward" Author CRAIG LANCASTER

" A TRULY SPECTACULAR STORY!"

The main character in Craig Lancaster's fascinating story is Edward

Stanton, a man who lives not only isolated from the rest of the world,

but who suffers from mental illness at the age of thirty-nine. Actually,

according to Edward, his true age is calculated at thirty-nine, and

three-hundred days old. His daily routine is based on prozac for his

obsessive-compulsive disorder, writing his unsent letters of complaints,

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

"A FAST-PACED, HEAD-SNAPPING CHILLER!"

Murder finds its way in Scottsdale, Arizona, better known as the world's

lovely tourist attraction, where you daydream at the pool as you soak up

the golden sun. Is Scottsdale a common ground for killers, and cheating

spouses? A beloved local artist, known to many for her efforts to aid

Hispanic, illegal immigrants is brutally murdered. Lila Morrison, a

former newspaper reporter, and suburban housewife finds out about the

murder. Feeling an emptiness in her life, and distraught over the murder, Lila becomes determined to find the killer. Using her knowledge

and skills as a former crime reporter, she sets out to follow the bloody,

forensic trail, despite all the danger involved. What advice does Lila's

three friends give her, while sipping on flavored martinis? The murder

investigation begins to brew as Lila makes Detective Garcia's blood boil,

while snooping for evidence. Why is he discontent about Lila's persistent

investigation, and is he hiding anything? Fear doesn't stop Lila from

attempting to crack the case as her courage becomes stronger, when her

best friend becomes the number one suspect. Will the criminal be found

and is the case connected to a violent, vigilante, border group? Will the

reputation of the social echelons of Scottsdale change, after discovering

a murderer is walking the same streets? Does Lila find the killer, or does

the killer find Lila? Can Lila find a conviction, or lead to the case, before

her friend is locked up behind bars? I highly recommend this novel to

all mystery lovers and to all those who enjoy fast-paced thrillers, packed

with action, and suspense. The plot is electrifying, and the characters

come to life as the investigation explodes with chilling details, every step

of the way as we find out who becomes the next victim. Will justice be

served, and for who? "SINS OF THE BORDER" is as sensational as

HIGH CRIMES, and as riveting as THE INSIDER, with Al Pacino.

5 Star REVIEW~~"LIVING LIFE WITH NO REGRETS: Your Guide To Lasting Happiness" Dr. Ed. Feyereisen

"PASSIONATE, INSPIRING AND UNDENIABLY UPLIFTING!"

Dr. Ed. Feyereisen, who is a Doctor of psychology, brings hope and inspiration to

all readers, through his book that's based on adult personal development. A lifelong student, observer of human behavior, teacher and coach, Dr. Ed. helps the

reader to focus on a positive attitude everyday. His topics for conversation include ways to eliminate stress, changing negative thoughts about ourselves, and

how to live happy, productive lives. He provides simple exercises and proven

techniques to help people in business, and personal life, while encouraging readers to dwell on the gifts we present to the world. Through research and

experience, Dr. Ed. adds a personal touch to his book as he helps the reader

to understand motivational literature in an easy-to-read, common sense format,

which will help the reader to see life in a different light. I highly recommend this

book to all those who are searching for inspiration, guidance, and direction to

creating the life of our dreams. This book is not only a tribute to the author's

mother and his mentors, but a Masterpiece in wisdom and practical tips for

success, with a blend of humor, and storytelling. In comparison to MASTERING THE SELF: A Motivational Guide To Understanding Yourself And Dealing With

Life, I found that "LIVING LIFE WITH NO REGRETS: Your Guide To Lasting

Happiness" to be more gratifying for daily mediation on creating a fulfilling life, while providing a more realistic understanding on motivational skills, towards

achieving happiness. This book is thought-provoking, practical, powerful, and

inspiring. "Good-Greed" is worth reading over-and-over. "In A New York Minute"

will indeed give the readers a new awareness on the rest of our lives, and

"The Greatest Gift" will boost your self-esteem. The golden key to happiness from

Dr. Ed. will open the positive door to a healthy life as we begin to feel better about

ourselves, and once this mission is accomplished, the everlasting rewards are

priceless!

5 Star REVIEW~~"MURDER BY ASSOCIATION" by Author GARY STARTA

"MESMERIZING, ELECTRIFYING AND BONE-CHILLING!"

Gary Starta takes the reader on another thrilling roller-coaster ride that

will send chills up your spine in "MURDER BY ASSOCIATION." FBI

Agent Caitlin Diggs, who is the heroine in Starta's BLOOD WEB, accepts

another gruesome assignment in the investigation of a deranged killer on

the loose. She teams up with Detective Stanford Carter, and McAllister

to hunt down the disturbed murderer on the ongoing serial killings, but

are they in the right direction? What do they find out about the serial

killings, and is there a lead that points to the Mob? Is Carter just a

partner to Diggs, or something more? How much pressure is Carter under from Mayor Schroeder, and why? Does Carter lose his job, and

is his life in danger? Is Jill in love with Carter, and do they find the

killer? Does Boston's lethal serial killer destroy the city's anniversary

celebration, and who is asked to take over the case? Does the Mayor

get blackmailed, and what are the demands? After Carter holds a

suspect in custody, how many more killings occurred? Can Carter protect

the woman he loves and maintain his sanity, while danger continues to

threaten the city, and who is the next victim? I highly recommend this

novel to all thriller and mystery lovers, who enjoy action-packed suspense, page-after-page. The story is captivating, dramatic, and intense

as it takes the reader through a city infested with murder, and secret

affairs. Why do the murders continue one-after-another, and can they

be solved? Does Carter's forensic clues put the killer in prison? What

does the "Plunger" leave behind with each victim? Find out the shocking

answers, while sitting on the edge of your seat in this incredible,

fast-paced thriller with nonstop twists, and nail-biting suspense. The

author created a Masterpiece that moves like a bullet! "MURDER BY

ASSOCIATION" is as riveting as THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, and

contains as much escalating tension as MURDER 8Y NUM8ERS, with

Sandra Bullock.

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

"IMPRESSIVE, INSPIRING AND POWERFULLY MOVING!"

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

thirteen, her entire world became 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, rapes, 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

http://www.amazon.com/

"THE ULTIMATE GUIDE IN NATURAL HEALING METHODS!"

Are the current healthcare systems in this country working? Is the

incidence of disease climbing? Does modern medicine treat the symptoms of disease, and not the cause? The medical industry makes

billions of dollars every year, are diseases cured, and are patients still

suffering? Dr. Edward F. group III, can answer these questions, and

many more in his presentation on preventing, and eliminating disease.

He is a Doctor of Chiropractic(DC), a Naturopathic Docter(ND), and a

Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition(BACBN). Dr.

Group found Global Healing Center in 1998 to teach people how to heal

themselves, prevent disease, and improve their general health, and well

being. I highly recommend this book to all those who wish to learn at-

home solutions for cleansing our bodies, how to reduce toxins, and

restore the body's natural healing power. In comparison to GREAT HEALTH BEGINS IN YOUR COLON(Bottom Line) and COLON HEALTH

KEY TO VIBRANT LIFE, I found HEALTH BEGINS IN THE COLON to

provide more information on living a long, healthy, and happy life. What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and how many American adults does it

affect? What happens when you have a toxic intestine, colon, or liver?

What does an abdominal massage do for the body? What types of food

causes colon toxins? What types of food aid in digestion? Do you experience poor nutrition, and digestion? Find out the answers in this

incredible ultimate guide for cleansing your colon, body, mind, and home. How many times a week do we drink soda, and what does it do

to the body? The author's expertise in natural healing methods is

educational for all readers and the information provided is of great

value to healing and preventing disease, through techniques, and

effective organic, and natural supplements on the market.

5 Star REVIEW~~"The Gymnastics Of Love & Discipline" Author BRUCE BENKO

A Parental Template For Giving Children A Voice

Self-help/Educational

http://www.perceptivemarketing.com/

"AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR TEACHING AND DISCIPLING 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 becoming 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.

5 Star REVIEW~~GRANTED! A Teacher's Guide To Writing & Winning Classroom Grants~Author CHRIS TAYLOR

"PROFESSIONAL, IMPRESSIVE AND EDUCATIONAL!"

Author Chris Taylor is a lawyer, educator, and school advocate. She shares over

twenty years of experience to simplify the application process for novice grant

seekers. Her book, GRANTED! A TEACHER'S GUIDE TO WRITING & WINNING

CLASSROOM GRANTS, provides methods for writing and winning grants and is

an excellent resource and guide for teachers, librarians and adminstrators. The

author reveals strategic advice of benefit to grant writers step-by-step, while

guiding the reader through every aspect of the grant process. I highly recommend

this book to teachers, educators, and grant seekers who wish to put an end to

using personal funds every year on classroom materials. This book saves

valuable time, while being guided, and improves educators chances of winning

a grant. In comparison to THE TEACHER'S GUIDE TO WRITING GRANTS, Grant-tastic, and THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO WRITING GRANTS, I found

GRANTED! to be the most impressive and professional. Chris Taylor's expertise

as a successful attorney, educator, and grant writer, shines through page-after-page. Her professional background and her burning desire to help the

educational community, led her to become a rewarding grant writer, author,

and public speaker. The author's support continues through a website that

offers additional data, worksheets, and more. The worksheets that are included

by the author give the best possible chances of securing grants for supplies, and

anything that a grant can help fund, while organizing, and recording research.

The advice of Chris Taylor will indeed save thousands of dollars every year from

out-of-pocket expenses for teachers and educators as she walks you through

the steps to make it happen!

5 Star REVIEW~~"INSIDE THE MINDS OF CAR DEALERS" Author RAY LOPEZ

"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 buyer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating on buying a car, or trading in your used car. The author provides

excellent information that is extremely helpful in purchasing a car, or trading

one in. This book is easy to read and understand, many tips 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

"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 separate them? The Texan Brennicks, and Mormon Beechams come to life, the plot is fascinating, and the story is

entertaining. Dianne 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.

http://www.redbubble.com/people/morgansartworld

http://www.fitztown.com/store.html

Morgan has drawn and painted pictures since early childhood. At eleven, she

went to a school with a trendy, young art mistress, who honed up Morgan's love

of art and encouraged her to study all aspects of it. She studied the arts, and

obtained an NDD, ATD, and a BA. She lived in Lancashire, Shropshire, Merseyside,

and North Wales. She also lived in London and Peterborough and has spent

time overseas, including Paris, where she sat with other students, and painted

in the Place de Tetre and exhibited with artists along the Seine. In more recent

years, she has spent time in Africa,and the USA in periods from one week, to

three months at a time.

She has a passion for knowledge and reading, and a deep love of books. In the

early days as a teacher, she illustrated, and wrote for several publishers. She

was head of Special Needs spanning twenty years. Her physical disability, and

other problems led her to retire from teaching, and concentrate on other things.

She has designed, and illustrated for various publishers and manufacturers,

and has painted and exhibited in other countries, as well as the UK.

She loves history and myths, and legends from the past, in particular those of

her own Celtic background from Ireland, and Wales. This comes through in her

paintings, as well as some of her books. She loves the realms of imagination,

and themes that take you away from everyday living. She is also deeply committed

to her faith as a Christian, and loves heroes and heroines in the Bible stories,

such as Esther and David, and the very romantic stories of Ruth and Rachel.

Most of her stories have a moral heart to them.

5 Star REVIEW~~The SIN of Addison Hall~~Author JEFFREY A. ONORATO~~

"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.

5 Star REVIEW~~"BEYOND SEDUCTION: Loving Without Limits" Author LISA PANKAU

"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 REVIEW~~IGGY THE IGUANA~~Author MELISSA M. WILLIAMS~~

"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 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 readers 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 REVIEW~~THE OCEAN BETWEEN~~Author LYNDA COKER~~

"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 financial 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 REVIEW~~The Organ Grinder And The Monkey~~Author SAM MOFFIE

"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

veterinarian, after he graduated college, he takes a trip to New York to

fulfill his dream. Irving decides that he wantes 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 was 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 you become

addicted 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, with Robert

De Niro, and Billy Crystal.

5 Star REVIEW~~SCOUT SQUAD: Going Native By MARK O. CHAPMAN

"AN EXPLOSIVE EARTH-SHATTERING ADVENTURE THAT RIVETS AND AMAZES!"

Willy Colton, born with a genetic mutation, spends most of his time with

the animals in the forest, where he feels comfortable. Unlike Willy, his

twin sister was born without mutations. Sydni belongs to the Scouts, and

the United World Council's military. Willy and Sydni, along with the crew she works for set out on a journey to Venus Two. Like his sister,

Willy is determined to serve society. But Willy learns that politicians

are trying to take over their planet. Syndi tries to help her brother, after

a war begins, knowing that this planet is what Willy considers to be

his home. It's Willy's homeland, where he can live with other humans,

who also have a genetic mutation, and he will never have to be lonely

again. What does Willy and Sydni encounter as they venture out into

an intergalactic journey? Does Willy and Sydni survive the battles of war,

and who wins? Will Willy save a planet that he can finally call home? I

recommend this novel to all science fiction lovers, and for all those

who enjoy a great adventure. Mark O. Chapman created an incredible

setting, including ongoing drama between the spaceship, and the planet.

The plot is interesting as the reader follows the battle scenes, creatures

come to life and emotions fill the pages as we read on about the journey

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 adventure. The author includes faith in God, love, and dealing

with loss. There's never a dull moment from page-to-page, leaving the

reader anxious to discover what happens next. Follow the twins in this

fascinating adventure as you join them on a captivating roller-coaster-ride of mixed emotions on an intergalactic journey. "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 REVIEW~~PROPHECY OF POWER By Author ANDREW PARKER

"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 disappearance 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

that the discovery did not take place, and a student disappeared. Who was

John Duncan, how well did Ayn know him, and why was he declared 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.

5 Star REVIEW~"PONEASEQUA: The Goddess Of The Waters" By Stephanie Duckworth-Elliot

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

Genre: Religion, Skeptics, Atheist

http://www.eloquentbooks.com/HolyShitABrieflookAtChristiantianitysProblems.html

"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~Author MILA BERNADKIN

"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.

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

By Author Kathy Almeida And Author Gayle Nobel

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

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

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

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

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

Almeida and Gayle Nobel show the reader the exact necessities of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

to learn from the advice given through experience, and for all readers

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

Gayle Nobel provide educational tips, funny and serious moments,

and the importance of bonding relationships. Each author clearly specifies through everyday challenges what works for them, and the

child. Furthermore, they focus on a positive attitude of helping these

children to lead productive lives through constant praise, and

encouragement, while building on self-confidence. Kathy Almeida and

Gayle Nobel are experts in providing love, acceptance, and hope, which

are essential necessities for special needs children. "IT'S ALL ABOUT

ATTITUDE: Loving And Living Well With Autism" is a triumph in the

same respect as portrayed in the true story RADIO, and is as inspiring

as RAIN MAN with Tom Cruise, and Dustin Hoffman.

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

Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review!

"AN EXPLOSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER"

Inspired by the work of Stephen King, along with Gary Starta's love for science fiction, and concern about the domination of Americans, compelled

the author to pen a follow-up novel to "WHAT ARE YOU MADE OF."

"BLOOD WEB: A Caitlin Diggs Novel" was born a Masterpiece thriller of the

supernatural, reminiscent of THE X-FILES, a popular television series. FBI

Agent Caitlin Diggs, and Shenk are the two main characters. Agent Caitlin

is assigned to a case, involving the investigation of a killer, while searching

for an evil crystal, with controlling powers. Unfortunately, when Agent Caitlin

accepted this police job, it was shortly after Geoffrey was killed. He was not

only her undercover partner, but also the man she loved. With an unstable

mind, ignoring an early retirement request made by her parents and her

haunting determination to seek revenge for the murder of Geoffrey, she

purchased her airline ticket and sets out on her most challenging, dangerous

mission. Shenk is a mentally deranged teenager, who is not only a runaway,

but is also a demented killer. He is possessed by an evil, ancient crystal.

This heart-pounding novel that's packed with electrifying suspense is highly

recommended for all thriller lovers. The pages are covered in blasting

action, while the despicable villains come to life, and the emotional roller-

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

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

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

Does the crystal possess psychic powers upon Agent Diggs, and does she

fall prey to its bloody desires? How many innocent people does Shenk

murder? Does the Right Hand organization find Agent Diggs, or does she

find them? The line drawn between biological life form and mechanical

life form by Gary Starta in a predicted nightmare that technology could

dominate the world is portrayed through charismatic characters, disturbing

violence, and spellbinding drama. In a terrifying race for time, is there a

way out for Agent Diggs? "BLOOD WEB: A Caitlin Diggs Novel" is as

cleverly entertaining as DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, and is as mesmerizing as

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS with Jodie Foster, and Anthony Hopkins.

*****REVIEW ~~THE SECRET LIFE OF A SNOWBIRD~~By Author LEN SCHRITTER

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

"FUNNY, ENTERTAINING, AND TOUCHING!"

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

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

But no one can describe the comparison 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 dreaming

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack Lemmon, and Walter Matthau.

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

"ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!"

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

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

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

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

in their backyard, which Penny has been observing, and investigating. Penny becomes rambunctious to begin research on the four intruders, invading Penny

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

to the actions of Buster, Shadow, Nutty and Feathers. They are determined to

invade the house next door, while Penny comes up with her own ingenious plan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

unexpected circumstances, and how we should love and respect our pets through

a journey of acceptance. "PENNY & RIO: The Mysterious Backyard Meeting" is

as fun-loving as LOOK WHO'S TALKING NOW, and as entertaining as

Walt Disney's AIR BUDDIES.

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

Ranked As Amazon's Most Helpful Favorable Review!

"WILD, FUNNY AND TOUCHING"

Sam Moffie takes the reader on an unforgettable road trip that's better than a seven-day-stay at Disney World, but is similar to Disney World's famous ride through America's past, present, and future. The main character is Aaron Abrams, a forty-seven year old English teacher whose life changes in a matter of

minutes, after one phone call of good news, and one moment of watching his

twenty year marriage go down the tubes. He was informed of an exciting book deal

he couldn't refuse, offering him 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 with 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 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, 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 rode odyssey down memory lane of the past, and present. "NO MAD" is as touching as WHERE THE HEART IS, and as funny as NOTHING TO LOSE with Martin Lawrence, and Tim Robbins.

*****REVIEW ~~RAELIKSEN~~ Author RENEE VINCENT

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

The setting of this novel takes place in Connacht, Ireland 916 AD. As we reflect

back in time to the Early Middle ages, it was an era when Ireland was in turmoil,

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

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

when there was much more at stake than just a claim on Ireland's flourishing port, and a time where a brick wall was created between Christian, and Pagan men. During this era, there were two sides to the Northmen, those who terrorized,

and those who wanted peace in a feuding world. However, many of Ireland's children were raised to believe that the Northmen were murderers, thieves, and

savages. These children believed that Northmen had no morals and values. Therefore, these children grew up fearing Northmen. Mara was one of these children, but despite all beliefs, nothing stopped her from visiting the River Shannon, which was her favorite place. She visited the river often, where she would sing the songs her mother taught her. From the age of nine, after Mara's mother passed away, the River Shannon became a beautiful memory of Mara's visions of her Mom. No one ever knew of Mara's secret, except Daegan, who was the son of Raelik. He would hide from her, but watched her many times as she sang at the river, while secretly falling in love with her. He wasn't brave enough to tell

her until after he saved her life from a group of criminals heading to the river.

At the age of sixteen, Mara began to fall in love with Daegan, but feared what actions would be taken against him when her father finds out. What would her people think, the daughter of the King of Connacht, in love with a heathen?

What challenges must Mara and Daegan face, after Daegan safely returns her home? The ever-rising hostility and outrage in Ireland existed, but not between Mara and Daegan. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys historical romance with a blend of drama. The setting is painted with vivid descriptions

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

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

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

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

adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Mia Trentino is on her way

to Russia to testify against a member of the Russian Mafia for the horrifying events

she witnessed while held in captivity. Douglas Farland is Mia's fiancee, and one of

Acronym's agents, a spy who desperately tries to keep Mia alive. As a mission that's almost impossible begins to brew, Douglas must tangle and cross the monster who will stop at nothing to prevent Mia from testifying, otherwise known

as the brutal Sergei Selkin. As intense suspense and drama explode on the pages of this novel, like fireworks on the Fourth-Of-July, Douglas is reported as missing,

and framed for treason. To accomplish this mission, the brass knuckle toughness must succeed, the good guys need to win, and the bad guys need to vanish instantly. But that's only the beginning, someone needs to watch the moves of the devil in the blue dress, your worst nightmare, better known as Ludvika. Will the battle be won against the evils of the Russian Mafia? Will Mia ever testify about her horrifying abduction without the protection of Douglas? Does anyone find Douglas, and will he ever be able to love Mia again? I highly recommend this book to action and suspense lovers, who enjoy a thriller that's blended with romance.

The author colored the pages with nonstop twists-and-turns from high-voltage action to sweet, sensual romance, laced with drama. "THE ACRONYM: White Nights Of St. Petersburg" is as fast and furious as LETHAL WEAPON 4, and as

mesmerizing as THE JUROR with Demi Moore!

*****REVIEW~~LIFE INTERRUPTED: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ME~~CHRIS M. TATEVOSIAN

"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 their 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 ONLY ABOUT ME" is as heartwarming and emotional as PATCH ADAMS with Robin Williams.

*****REVIEW ~~THE CRY OF THE CUCKOOS~~ JOHN WAYNE CARGILE

"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 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.

*****REVIEW ~~POTLUCK SURVIVAL GUIDE: Care & Feeding Of The Athletic Supporter

*PRACTICAL, COMPREHENSIVE, AND INFORMATIVE!*

Fiftten years ago, I was a Girl Scout leader, a volunteer for many church groups,

and a cook for a huge gathering of people. There was a time where both of my

daughters were involved in six after-school activities each. These social activities

took place after swim meets, dance recitals, and ALL GIRL LITTLE LEAGUE.

That's only a few to mention, there were a variety of social functions, including

camp-outs. The first thing that came to mind after reading Cherie Kimmon's

fantastic cookbook is that my only regret with this survival guide is not having it

back then. This is not only a great cookbook to expand your culinary horizons, but is also the perfect gift for anyone who needs to cook, whether it's for one person,

or a group of people. I highly recommend this cookbook to beginner cooks, and

experienced cooks as well. This cookbook is intelligent, and the recipes are simple and delicious. Cornbread stuffing, pasta, and casseroles are appreciated by moms, and grandparents. Meatloaf, soups, and sandwiches were old time favorites from many children I knew. This book is delightful to read as it covers appetizers to

incredible desserts. The chicken dinners, salad bar, and hamburger bar will be

enjoyed by athletes, and anyone else who's hungry. For a tasty, additional variety

Cherie includes a waffle bar, and a sundae bar. Who would not feast on these

mouthwatering bars? To make reading easy on the eyes, Cherie includes special notes for each recipe, along with helpful hints, and tips on festive decorating ideas. The author includes servings for one person to twenty-five guests, and offers suggestions for dessert topping. It's impossible for the reader to get bored, after looking at awesome illustrations per page. Guidelines for pre-game and

post-game meals are included, and the recipes will be enjoyed by athletes, and

any social gathering in which large groups of people meet. Cherie Kimmon's

step-by-step illustration of the cooking process is a comprehensive, practical

presentation of great recipes that should be given to all moms. This book is packed with basic information on measurements and cooking time for tasty,

and easy to prepare dishes. "THE POTLUCK SURVIVAL GUIDE: Care & Feeding

Of The Athletic Supporter" is as informative as THE GOOD HUSEKEEPING

ILLUSTRATED COOKBOOK: America's Bestselling Step-By-Step Cookbook, with

more than 1400 recipes.
