*****REVIEW ~~KATKA~~ By author Stephen Ross Meier
REVIEW
The main characters in "KATKA" is Gavin, Katka, and Simona. Gavin is a
handsome, young man who is trying desperately to run away from his past.
Katka is Gavin's girlfriend who is convinced that money, and love combined
is her top priority. Simona is a gorgeous, seductive woman who is convinced that
business is number one, and everything comes next. She is sneaky, and as tough
as a brick wall. Gavin and Katka team up with Simona to scam buyers of mail
order brides in the Czech Republic. Gavin's plan was to convince Katka to sell
herself to a buyer, take the money, and run. His intention was to use that money
for him and Katka to begin a new life together. However, the plan backfired when
Katka takes off with a client, then Gavin works with Simona. As his greed
increases, so does his guilt in losing Katka. As he becomes successful, his loss
of Katka haunts him more-and-more. I recommend this novella to adults who
crave a read that's filled with excitment, directing your attention to love, betrayal,
and loss. Stephen Ross Meier managed to create characters that fit an intriguing
story like a glove, and a picture perfect setting made for the movie screen. The
author takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride as you experience
feelings of success, and failure. But, "KATKA" isn't your ordinary thrill ride,
it feels more like a rocket! Your ride begins at Wall Street as you follow Gavin
to Czechoslovakia, where he meets up with Simona and Katka. Then, the
fireworks begin. You get a glimpse of a world filled with booze, sex, and deceit.
Your imagination of the Eastern European girls explodes as you read on about
a life lived that most would hope was just a bad dream. The plot is painted
with different bright colors, and the moral of the story ends in sadness.
We can buy anything with money, but love doesn't come with a price tag. It is
known to be the most valuable in humanity, but is priceless. More important,
the loss of love, because of greed and betrayal becomes the worst scar one can
endure in a lifetime. The true price of betrayal takes a shattering toll in this
heart-pounding, suspenseful story. "KATKA" is as sensational as UNFAITHFUL
with Richard Gere, and as powerfully seductive as INDECENT PROPOSAL
with Demi Moore!

*****REVIEW "EQUALITY" By author TIM KELLIS
"EQUALITY" by author Tim Kellis is not a book that's based on research to aid
in counseling for married couples. It is not a novel that's focused on the
opinion of psychologists, psychiatrists, and experts who have worked with
failing marital relationships. It is not a book based on the religious experts
who assisted couples during troubled times. Experience, combined with
intense research on the increasing divorce rate in the United States explained
by Tim Kellis is what "EQUALITY" is all about. He describes the true meaning
of happiness, and the fine line between love, and hate. According to the author,
and experts who worked with hundreds of couples that were seeking professional
advice to prevent divorce will all agree that two factors are essential for every
successful marriage. After working in the health field for thirty years, along with
observation of numerous couples who filed for divorce, I agree that these two
factors make up the golden key to marital happiness. One lesson lived and
learned through experience is that we must face the nightmares in our past,
bury them, forgive and move on. If we choose to go on, pretending that our
past was wonderful, we will indeed transfer that pain onto the people we love
dearly. The second crucial lesson, and golden key to walk through the door
of marital happiness is that we must first be happy with ourselves. If we are
unhappy with ourselves, and don't face hauntings of the past, then we will walk
into a new relationship, unintentionally transferring unhappiness and blame
onto our partner. The months and years will pass as sadness, and ambivalent
feelings begin to grow like wildflowers. The final result will end in divorce, even
though this is not what the couples wanted, even if love does still exist. The
damage created unintentionally most of the time is not mended, it builds up,
and the couples have nothing left to hold onto, except sorrowful memories that
resulted in departure. I recommend this novel to all married couples, and to
those who enter into a new relationship. "EQUALITY" dives deep into the
conscious, and unconscious, directing the reader to how the mind works,
and the impact of insecurities that may be hidden for years. This novel is a
unique, self-help book that shines light on the beauty of love as viewed in
"Love Story." It makes the reader think of appropriate solutions and prevention
of divorce with a positive attitude, rather than direct the reader's attention
to negative aspects as viewed in War Of The Roses, or Gone With The Wind.
In comparison to the work of Dr. Sigmund Freud on his conclusion that there's
no where to go with our troubles with no solutions, current research has proven
this hypothesis to be untrue. I agree with Tim Kellis, and based on the work of
Dr. Carl Jung that insecurities can in fact be corrected, resulting in a healthy,
happy marriage. Statistics have noted that most health professionals, including
myself, agree that prevention and happiness is the best medicine of all!

Craig was born in Lakewood, Washington on Feb. 9, 1970. The duality of his
childhood -living most of the year in suburban Fort Worth, Texas with his
mother and stepfather. He spent summers with his father in rural outposts
in the West-fueled an appreciation for people as they come.
His stepfather played a big part in Craig's gravitation toward jouralism. In
spending time with his father among itinerant workers, Craig saw from an
early age the struggles of those who live hand-to-mouth! Those two words-
suburban and comfortable, rural and hardscrabble-inform his writing and
his worldview.
