*****REVIEW ~DRAGON'S BLOOD~

DRAGON'S BLOOD BY: MJ Allaire Many of us have had exotic dreams during childhood where we were taken to, or discovered another world far away from the one in which we live. Those fantasies from the imagination can include dragons, aliens, or whatever we wish to create in the world of make-believe. Imagine your exotic dream one day becomes reality? Tonia, and Diam venture out into the forrest to gather chickleberries for their Mom, and suddenly they enter that exotic dream stored in the imagination as they get lost, and discover a hidden cave in their village. The girls tell their secret only to Micah, and Nicho, but not to their Mom. Then, the wild adventure begins as MJ Allaire takes the reader through the most fascinating, magical dream beyond any child's imagination. As four children venture out into the world of the unknown, while exploring the mysterious cave, they are determined to follow that dream. They are forced to make difficult decisions as they roam through the land of unexplained magic. Suddenly, they realize there are needs to be met as they become stronger, while facing their own fear through a dark, incredible journey. As the adventure continues, drama reaches its peak, while intelligent, cunning creatures challenge the children. Unique powers of creatures blossom, fantasy explodes like fireworks on the Fourth-Of-July, and the children learn what the word trust means as they complete their courageous mission through a surprise quest, beyond their wildest dreams. I would recommend "DRAGON'S BLOOD" as an excellent read for the entire family. This novel is as mysterious as Steven Spielberg's dazzling adventure of "the Goonies." MJ Allaire entertains the reader on the same thrilling scale as viewing the Masterpiece "E.T." The reader becomes inspired while following the children through the "Circle Of Life" as if we were viewing Walt Disney's creation of "The Lion King." The clever author leaves the reader with a question at the end, how far will you go for an adventure? "DRAGON'S BLOOD" is left open for a sequel as curiosity becomes a main target of focus. In this delightful tale, there is never a dull moment, and magical powers light-up the story as if viewing one of J.K. Rowling's finest in the adventures of "Harry Potter."

*****REVIEW HONOR DUE BY D.H. Brown

A Pulse-Pounding Thriller! "Honor Due" is a suspenseful, action-packed, entertaining thriller. A novel that draws the reader into the Vietnam War, describing what D.H. Brown had to face, and how he survived the horror. The author penned a compelling story through the main character as Major, defining his haunting past, history during the Vietnam Era, and the bravery of one hero who was determined to prove that life was still worth living. The Major's mission was to find answers, and seek truth as to what happened when South Vietnam was falling. Through his terrifying journey, he was deternined to seek vengeance for his fallen brother, and family. With courage, one warrior manages to find healing as romance blooms, and he is able once again to see light at the end of the tunnel. In comparison to reading novels about the military, "Honor Due" stands out with pride in an excellent performance that was written from the heart of a true warrior. In many war stories, we only see the cold, bloody, and the angry perspective of war. In this novel, through the fascinating character of Major, we don't just see the ugly. The journey through "Honor Due" takes the reader to the battlefield, then to the sunset where peace, and love bloom like flowers. Unlike most military novels, D.H. Brown has a unique way to invite the reader into the Vietnam Era during traumatic, uneasy times. The Major pours a fresh, brewed cup of coffee from across the table as he tells the story of his military nightmare, without decorating the violence. Most important, the story is told from the genuine characteristics of the Major's realistic personality. The protective, senitive, loving man that he was before becoming the Vietnam soldier, and his own battle to keep that self-respect. I applaud the author in his first book of "The Citizen Warrior Series." The Major was appealing, the plot was superb, and the story was interesting from beginning to end. I recommend "Honor Due" to teens, adults, and all readers who enjoy thrillers with a blend of romance, and humor. This novel was as chilling, and dramatic as "the Deer Hunter" with Robert Deniro. The Major told his story with as much heartfelt emotion as there was in "Armageddon." The true meaning of the word hero light up the pages in "Honor Due" on the same scale as viewing "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson. Geraldine Ahearn A.I.O.M.

*****REVIEW Thoughts From Old Walls

By Author/ Artist Marianne Loyd A Compelling, Powerful Read! "Thoughts From Old Walls" is the debut collection of poetry, penned by author, and artist Marianne Loyd. Each poem is skillfully crafted on controversial topics, and sensitive issues in today's society, leaving food-for-thought behind every single poetic passage in over eighty poems. The author covers the topics of utmost concern not only in our country, but throughout the world. With courage, Loyd speaks out on animal abuse, religion, and modern politics. Each topic is carefully painted with bright colors, describing the horrifying aftermath in the consequences of brutality, resulting from final decisions that were made in doubt, and were indeed questionable. Every poem is powerful, thought-provoking, and heart-wrenching within the pages of this eclectic Masterpiece. The reader is drawn to the pages like a magnet, while filled with mixed-emotions, and heartfelt feelings that are known to humanity, then left toponder on two essential questions. Who's to blame, and why? "Halls Of Hell" is disturbing to the mind, and touching to the soul. This poem is not disturbing in the sense of graphic, but disturbing, because it hits home. It's a prime example of what goes on behind closed doors. The author's voice cries out, and speaks for the helpless animals who are neglected, abused, and used in experiments. Loyd leaves us once again with another crucial question that demands an answer. Where's the justice? Do these innocent creatures labeled "Man's best friend" have rights as we do? In a nation where we strive for freedom, and preach mercy, why does suffering, and murder exist? The words of Marianne Loyd as she speaks for the helpless victims in silence are moving, and are as sincere as the words from Whoopi Goldberg in the movie "Ghost" as Whoopi speaks for Patrick Swayze, translating the meaning of unconditional love to Demi Moore. "They will be moving on when the sun goes down, and a silent prayer of coming home...hush the wind says, dream later on." A verse from the passage "Army Heroes" which comments on decisions made in question once again, and the horrific consequences that result, such as another life lost. "These Walls" dictate hidden memories that we all can relate to in a lifetime. "If I Were" is a poem that defines hope, and comfort. I would recommend this book to teens, adults, and poetry lovers. Marianne Loyd's expertise in observing nature, and the world in which we live in is breathtaking. The reader is taken through a poetic journey of hope, dreams, and memories. But, it doesn't end there. The author continues the journey through the road of despair, and loss. This poetic journey on the road through life continues with hope, and change for the better in our future. The reader simply craves for more! Geraldine Ahearn A.I.O.M.
