"Home After Dark" is an emotionally raw story of a man who-despite
"escaping" home at 16-achieves the American Dream. By 40, he's
comfortably wealthy and retires from a prestigious career. Robidoux's
journey will inspire hopefuls to transcend circumstances and achieve
unimaginable success without succumbing to societal and corporate
pitfalls.
His memoirs tell a modern-day success story. As a young man, Darryl
clawed his way up the social, governmental, and corporate ladders
to achieve his dream of making the successful transition from a
poverty-ridden childhood to a life of comfort and prestige in the
corporate arena.
Now, he is currently undergoing treatment for bone cancer, and
shares the intimate details of his dichotomous life-rich in business
acumen and corporate accomplishment, yet bankrupt in affairs of
the heart-in hopes that his story helps others realize their dreams
without sacrificing what's truly important in life as Darryl did.

*****REVIEW ~The Tension Reliever Volume 1~
By Multipublished Author Dominique L. Watson
Genre: Inspiration/Religion/Motivation/Spiritual
INSPIRING!
Love fills the fresh air with the sweet scent of roses, a slow dance, and fine
dining in the poem "Valentine's Day." The reader can feel strength, and
admiration from Dominique L. Watson's description of "Being a Woman."
"I'm a Fighter" clearly defines that all of humanity should stand tall for
what they believe in, especially during situations of becoming a victim of
wrong-doing. Unconditional love flows from the passage "She's My All" in a
poem that I can relate to, after being fortunate of having a grandmother
with angelic wings attached to her shoulders. "Life Lessons" speaks reality
through experience, expressing to the reader the true meaning of a wake-up-call!
"New Start" and "One Eye Vision" fills the reader's heart with a new found
hope, peace, and tranquility. The Poetry, and short stories within the pages
of "The Tension Reliever" are motivating, and inspiring. I recommend this
book to all poetry lovers, young adults, and adults who seek a refreshing and
inspirational uplift after reading the passages that tug at the heart, page-after-page as it definitely relieves tension. In comparing verse from some of the
world's greatest poets, the verse from "The Tension Reliever" is as refreshing
as the work from Emily Dickinson, and as inspiring as the Traditional Verse
from Ralph Waldo Emerson!

By: Author/Artist Morgan Fitzsimons And Author Kat Jones
Genre: Fantasy/ Science Fiction
An Earth Shattering Adventure!
Awe-Inspiring!
Rivets And Amazes!
An Extraordinary Battle For The Future Of Humanity!
REVIEW
Hunter is a leader, a great warrior who was admired by his crew.
A crew that obeyed his every command, and were so loyal to him
that they would have died for him. The ship in which Hunter and
his crew were traveling in crashes, and Earth becomes their new
home. While investigating their new home, Hunter and his crew
discover the royal flagship of The TIMEWEAVERS. Hunter is
accepted to enter the battle station, signifying the fight against the
darkness of time as his crew is allowed to follow. Hunter realizes
he has entered the world of the Avalon, the Supreme Ruler's
domain, where he must go back in time to his past, before he
proceeds with his quest to override Medraut's control. As Hunter
goes back in time with the clock, his crew must witness that when
Hunter belonged to the Doomwatch since childhood, he was forced
to endure a life he didn't choose. But, regardless of his own beliefs,
survival was the name of the game. Although he was forced to serve
Medraut, he always defied him. While under Medraut's dictation,
Hunter's eyes could only see death, and cruelty. A world filled with
elite killing machines, where oppression replaced humanity. Medraut
was a vindictive man who thrived on violence in a dishonest world,
where morals and values did not exist. Now, Hunter must relive the
life of Lancelot, and be the greatest warrior of The TIMEWEAVERS,
mastering the secrets of time as he lives on. During his mission to
win power over Medraut, and gain respect for his entire kingdom,
the battle must begin. Does Lance finally prove what a wretch
Medraut was? Does Lance find more missing TIMEWEAVER
warriors? Who wins the battle across the stars to gain honor,
and destroy evil? I recommend this novel to all fantasy, and
science fiction lovers. The story is a suspense-filled, Twilight Zone
thriller. A chilling, frightening nightmare that becomes a
Masterpiece of mystery, giving terror a new name. The TIMEWEAVERS
is as amazing as "War Of The Worlds" with Tom Cruise, and is
as scary as Stephen King's, THE LANGOLIERS."

*****REVIEW ~~La Bajada Lawyer~~
By: Author/ Attorney JONATHAN MILLER
AN ENGROSSING THRILLER!
In Jonathan Miller's fifth novel, a dark comic legal thriller, "La Bajada Lawyer"
takes the reader for another journey through the closed doors of crime, and
the opened doors where justice is served. Dan Shepard is an attorney from
Santa Fe, and La Bajada is the decent where Santa Fe ends and Albuquerque
begins. Dan finally makes it to the top of the ladder with success in his career,
but his law practice, and good reputation becomes threatened when he is
informed that his girlfriend Ophalia is involved in a murder case. His life is
about to change as quick as a lightbulb with major decisions he needs to make
as he desperately tries to protect his career and reputation, while attempting
to defend Ophalia. He finds himself in a sinking ship after he hires a
beautiful, seductive attorney Luna Cruz to help him with the case as he falls
in love with her. What strings must Dan pull in the world of politics to save
Ophalia? Will Luna drown with him in his sinking ship? Is Ophalia innocent,
or guilty of killing the governor's wife, and dumping her body in a ditch?
Will justice be served, and for whom? I recommend "La Bajada Lawyer" to
all thriller lovers and for reader's who enjoy suspense, and drama in a
colorful dialogue, entertained by strange characters with a sense of humor.
Jonathan Miller's expertise as an attorney in the field of criminal law,
combined with his admiration for Albuquerque shines through in his
writing. He leads the reader by the hand to the inside scenes of the courts
where justice is served, after walking in from the outside world that's
covered in crime. He clearly describes the good, bad, and ugly from the eyes
of an experienced criminal attorney who has seen it all. For the icing on the
cake, he adds a great deal of wit through all the drama, with his keen sense
of humor. "La Bajada Lawyer" is a page turner from beginning to end as the
reader becomes extremely curious to find out the verdict. This novel is one
that would indeed light up a movie screen with its intense drama, packed
with twists-and-turns, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat. It's a
suspenseful whodunit, an engrossing thriller, and is as intense as
JOHN Q, with Denzel Washington!

*****REVIEW ~~FRESH FROZEN~~ By Author DARDEN NORTH, MD
BRILLIANT!
Wesley, and Carrie are the perfect couple, happily married. Their love is one that
lights up life itself that would make every loving couple in today's world crave to
follow in their footsteps. However, there's one exception in their life together
that makes their dream incomplete, the burning desire to have a family. They
begin to feel like outcasts in the baby-booming era that spreads throughout the
United States. As a last hope in desperation, they are introduced to a woman who
educates them on the human embryo, and egg donors, but the price tag is her
top priority. The Sarbeck's find themselves on the verge of bankruptcy, and in the
middle of a murder plot. Then, they are introduced to the world of Hollywood
celebrities, and a heist of fresh human embryos. Carrie nearly lost her life,
and her beautiful dream that's shared with Wesley turns into a nightmare.
Reproductive Technology becomes a horror, and ethical and moral standards
crossed the boundaries with the law, becoming nonexistent in this extraordinary,
realistic medical thriller. How far will the Starbeck's go during their quest to
become parents? Does their intimacy force them to become ignorant of their
own actions, while blind to the consequences? During the unexpected trials
and tribulations, does a controversy exist between the gifted hands of man,
and God's hands? Does Wesley, and Carrie walk through the forbidden doors
of infertility to erase the pain that torments them everyday? I recommend
"Fresh Frozen" to all thriller lovers, to medical professionals, and to all those
knowledgeable on infertility. I also recommend it to reader's who crave the
inside scene of Hollywood celebrities. In his third medical thriller, award-winning
author Darden North takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride that
covers every human emotion in medical history while we travel through a world
of deception, murder, and tragedy. "Fresh Frozen" is a Masterpiece, crafted by
an expert who created an enthralling plot with characters who come to life, and
suspense that sends chills up your spine. This incredible story, packed with
ingenious twists-and-turns is one indeed that belongs on a movie screen.
This medical thriller is Brilliant, and as chilling as "The Hand That Rocks The
Cradle" with Annabella Sciorra, and Rebecca De Moray!

*****REVIEW ~GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND~
By Jeffrey B. Allen
A Delightful Journey, With Unforgettable Consequences!
"GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" is a unique story that takes the reader on a
journey through life as we follow the footsteps of John Greber, a young hero.
At age twelve, John was brave enough to travel into the land of the unknown
to confront his father face-to-face, better known as "The Beast" through
John's eyes. John made a secret vow to seek revenge on his abusive father,
rescue his sister, and help his mother during a Civil War that threatens
not only the land, but the world. As John guides the reader through the battle
of horror, with survival as the ultimate goal, he becomes stronger each step
of the way as he shares his strength with Ellie, and Marney. The reader can
feel his strength as we continue a journey through the wonders of youth,
learning life's intense lessons, while absorbing the pleasures of childhood.
Can the reader relate to any of the dramatic events that take place in the land
of evil? Does the reader feel hope as the journey continues? Can a parent read
through the mind of Ellie? Does Marney learn to treat John with respect, and
admiration? I recommend this novel to teens, adults, and all fantasy lovers.
Jeffrey B. Allen created a Masterpiece, a captivating story the reader can
never forget. The author's wild imagination draws the reader in, like a
magnet. The plot is superb, and his charismatic characters come to life.
"GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" is a riveting tale of not just John's epic
journey, but also our journey through life. The vivid description of "The Beast"
is incredible. The remarkable journey is chilling, haunting, and mysterious
as it takes the reader to a place with unforgettable consequences. John Greber
tugs at the reader's heart as much as Trevor does in "PAY IT FORWARD."
Jeffrey B. Allen's "GONEAWAY INTO THE LAND" transforms into an action-
packed adventure that explodes with spectacular special effects, and the
reader will indulge into an awe-inspiring experience as if viewing one of
Steven Spielberg's finest!

*****REVIEW ~~HOW THE HART BREAKS~~
BY Alysia Lyons
A Unique, Romantic Story!
The main character who comes to life in "HOW THE HART BREAKS" is Isabel,
a beautiful woman. As she reaches her fifth year of fame, a glamorous life
most women would envy, she realizes something is missing. She decides to
leave the door halfway open to her career of fame, and fortune. She sneaks
away from the paparazzi, and walks through the door of NYU. Her new dream
of attending college, and living a normal life away from being the center of
attraction wasn't as easy as she thought it would be, after meeting a handsome
college student. Their romantic attraction for each other turned into love, and
Isabel is now tormented with a decision that could affect the rest of her life,
for better, or for worse. Will she lose her fear of a love she may never feel
again? Will she return to fame, and fortune? Does she marry the love of her
life? Is her successful, music career top priority? Does she make a decision
too quickly? Does Isabel find out what a broken heart feels like? I recommend
"HOW THE HART BREAKS" to teens, adults, and all romance lovers. Alysia
Lyons created a romantic story, filled with shifting drama of a new found love
that teaches its true value. The author illuminates the extraordinary life
of Isabel in a unique, romantic story that draws the reader in with curiosity,
which is totally satisfying to the last page. Find out how love can emerge,
and how the bonds we form become strong. Alysia Lyons fills the pages with
emotion, while describing the true meaning of success, and heartache.
"HOW THE HART BREAKS" is as thought-provoking as Danielle Steel's
"CHANGES" with Cheryl Ladd, and Michael Nouri.

*****REVIEW ~~PUSH~~
BY: Christopher Byron
Contemporary Fantasy/Science Fiction
ADRENALINE-PUMPING!
"Push" recounts a chain of events that pitted an ordinary man against a
government facility who tormented him in a world he wakes up to, after
surviving a car crash. The main character in this cleverly entertaining story
is Ryan Parker, who desperately fights in a battle for survival of his life,
and those he loves. Ryan struggles to close the door of imprisonment
permanently, and open a new door to a life he'd rather have at what-ever
risks he may have to take. After so many times of being knocked against the
wall, he decides to regain his strength, and push back! Does he save his own
life, and those he loves? Does he get up, after he falls off his feet? Christopher
Byron wrote a story that is consistently gripping that will thrill the reader
with its unbelievable twists and turns. The story within the pages of "Push"
is as dynamic as "The Insider" with Al Pacino. The story of Ryan Parker's
heroic acts and triumph is presented by the author to have your adrenaline
pumping, while craving for a sequel. With each twist in this novel, the mystery
deepens and the question looms, will Ryan Parker win the battle for freedom?
I recommend this book to all readers who enjoy thrillers, with a blend of
drama, and fantasy. "Push" is as entertaining as "Devil's Advocate." Ryan
Parker comes to life in Christopher Byron's outstanding plot, and is as
incredible as Jeff Bridges is in "Arlington Road."

****REVIEW ~MORE THAN DUST IN THE WIND~
BY: Donald James Parker
Christian Fiction
A Rousing Celebration Of Life!
The main character in Donald James Parker's second book from a five book
series about the Masterson family is a young man by the name of Bambi.
He is a basketball player who steps up to college level, realizing as he grew
older that energy, and talent was not enough to win the game. Bambi makes it
to the National Tournament with support from Lisa, but then his life makes a
complete turn, and he's forced to set priorities. He begins to realize with age
that we make choices and decisions, and regardless of whether those choices
were the right moves to make, we must live with them. I recommend this novel
to teens, and adults who enjoy a fascinating story of life, with a blend of
spiritual guidance. For many years, Bambi was on his own mission trying to
learn how to make good decisions, realizing that we must have an open mind
while searching for answers. While on his mission, he leads his family to
walk on a different road, and their lives change forever.The author created
an uplifting story that fills the pages with inspiration. "More Than Dust In
The Wind" is as heartwarming as "For Love Of The Game" with Kevin Costner.
This novel is full of soul and spirit with a remarkable story that the reader
will never forget!

*****REVIEW ~~SAVAGE~~
BY: Katherine Warwick
Dance/Romance
Entertaining & Delightful!
The main character in "Savage" is Chance. His life is about to change after he
enrolls in a ballroom dance class. His eyes are set on Avery, and begins to like
everything about her, including her dancing. He falls in love with her, and the
idea that a life together would be the right choice, for one exception. His life
becomes threatened by an old secret, and a woman from his past walks back
into his life. His life is about to change, but not exactly what he had in mind.
His lifestyle becomes complicated, and he must make choices. Will his dream
become a nightmare? Does he ever find a life with the woman he loves?
Does his priorities, and his lifestyle change for the better, or for worse?
The love story between Chance and Avery is exhilarating. "Savage" is set to
vibrant dance, and pounding rhythms on the dance floor. I recommend this
novel of dancing sensation, with a vivid love story guaranteed to satisfy all
readers who enjoy a blend of dance, with sizzling romance. This book is an
entertaining and delightful love story that makes ballroom dancing cover the
pages in electrifying passion step-by-step! "Savage" is filled with genuine
delights, as if viewing the dance scene with Jenifer Lopez, and Ralph Fiennes in
"Maid In Manhattan."

*****REVIEW ~~DRAGON'S TEAR~~
By: MJ Allaire
Fictional Fantasy Series Book 3
A Delightful, and most extraordinary adventure!
In the sequel to The Prisoner, MJ Allaire takes the reader on another
spectacular adventure, after the boys reunite in the Yarnie village.
As the boys continue their search for the long-lost girls, they get ready
for another mission to be guided home safely to the Castle Of Tears,
but are totally unaware of the dangers they must confront. Will
creatures lurk in the shadows of the lake? Will they ever find the
girls? Will they be brave enough to cross the body of water, while
searching for Dragon's Tear? If the boys find the amulet, and return
it safely to the dragons, will they become victims of bumbling bad
guys? I recommend "Dragon's Tear" to all fantasy lovers. This book
is an adventure classic from start to finish. It's packed with
breathtaking black magic, and a thrilling whirlpool of trials and
tribulations the children must endure to survive their mysterious
mission. "Dragon's Tear" is as enchanting as "Harry Potter And The
Sorcerer's Stone." The author presents a triumph of imagination
that lights up the pages through this magical adventure. For finishing
touches, excitment builds to surprising results as bad-mannered
creatures invite their way into the children's desperate journey to
safety. "Dragon's Tear" has dazzling effects and shiver-yer-timbers
thrills! A delightful, extraordinary adventure!
