*****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.

*****REVIEW ~~CAMPINGLY YOURS~~ By Thomas C. Adler

**HEARTWARMING**

This heartwarming, inspirational story is Thomas C. Adler's enchanting ride down

memory lane, packed with every human emotion one can experience. The author

describes countless adventures from his twenty-seven years of experience as the

director and owner of Chippewa Ranch Camp. During those years, he wore many

different hats, and became friends with people from all walks of life. This passionate story captures the heart of the reader as you learn about a summer camp legacy that will forever be remembered by all those who shared the adventures with a remarkable role model. The author's challenging roles as

therapist, child advocate, and crisis manager were just a few in his spearheading

adventures. He frequently changed hats from EMT to mediator, while supervising

hundreds of counselors and campers round-the-clock. I recommend this delightful and touching memoir to anyone who craves an insightful story that's

good for the heart, and soul. This novel embodies the camping spirit and teaches

the importance of life's lessons, while reflecting on the value of friendship, which

is a crucial factor needed from childhood through adolence. This book will make

any parent realize the incredible impact a camping experience can be in a child's

life, and how self-confidence can grow as fears dimish. This emotional roller-coaster-ride of the lives touched at summer camp will bring tears to your eyes,

and joy to your heart. "CAMPINGLY YOURS" is as funny as SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS with Harrison Ford, and as compelling as NOW AND THEN.

*****REVIEW ~On The Brink of Bliss and Insanity~ LISA CERASOLI

**OUTRAGEOUS** As Annie looks in the mirror, she sees a reflection of a twenty-eight year old woman who leads a life with absolutely no direction. As she tries to make a better life, her luck just gets worse-and-worse. She learns the hard way in the relationship with Michael that she cannot change him, or the manner in which he treats her. As he continues to portray the good-for-nothing, cheating boyfriend, Annie decides to find a new path. While she becomes unemployed, and thinking about her painful childhood with a mother who was nonexistent, she stumbles into Billy. Her relationship with Billy is not as good as Billy's relationship is with Michael. Billy, and Michael become very good friends. Billy is an ex-con, who wants to be a musician. He needs to find his inner-self, and a loving relationship doesn't seem to fit his schedule. Michael is all about Michael, and Billy is all about Billy. Where does that leave Annie? The more Annie thinks about ways to fix her entire world that falls apart, the more wrong turns she makes on the road to happiness. Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll just don't seem to help in any way. Annie's bad luck turns into desperation for a new life, while she realizes that she has no family, or friends to turn to. Billy tries to fulfill his dream, Michael continues to be arrogant, and Annie's solution to all her problems depends on the amount of tequila she's drinking. As Annie's reckless life begins to shatter like a broken glass, with a heart that needs mending, where will she go now? Does she ever meet Mr. Right, or does she stay with a charming, Mr. Wrong? As the saga continues in the ups-and-downs of Annie's life, will she find bliss, or insanity in her future? I recommend this novel to chick literature lovers, and everyone who enjoys a true-to-life story, with a blend of humor. Lisa Cerasoli penned an offbeat, delicious slice of life about a down-on-her-luck girl, and brings her to life. This book is brilliantly funny. The characters are smashing, and the story is outrageous, and touching. "ON THE BRINK OF BLISS AND INSANITY" is as wild as MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING, and as hilarious as THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, with Cameron Diaz. Author/reviewer Geri Ahearn

**Welcome author MILA BERNADKIN**

*****REVIEW ~FEEDING LIONS~ PAUL A. IBBETSON

Subtitle: "Sharing The Conservative Philosophy in a Politically Hostile World" Genre: Non-fiction/ Politics http://www.ibbetsonusa.com/ www.myspace.com/conservativeusa REVIEW **BRILLIANT** This novel takes the reader on an educational ride through the political history of America from its past, and to the present. It is indeed an essential wake-up call to all Americans in the political arena for a stronger government to return to the renewal of morals and values that once built America. The author clearly presents accurate research as he compares the different views from the eyes of a conservative, and the eyes of a liberal. Most important, he demonstrates through personal experience how those differences between the two parties affected world events, making this country what it has become today. Paul A. Ibbetson penned an intriguing novel, based on life's lessons as he points to the building blocks of American responsibility. He draws an imaginary line beween liberalism and conservatism in America as he walks the reader through critical issues of today, while describing how the conservative movement and liberal ideals contributed to the morality of American culture. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about the political value systems that move America, and how moral courage is affected, based on solid research. Did the Hippie culture and bias affect standards in America? How did our higher institutions change? Did the Regan administration, or Bush's beliefs on terrorism contribute to the shape America is in today? In a brilliant presentation, the author covers The Fairness Doctrine, and The War On Terror. With extensive research, he presents documentation on The Patriot Act, and views on global warming. To continue to peek the interest of the reader, Paul A. Ibbetson describes with perfection the Border Security issue in the United States. Are opened borders an act of compassion to Americans, or illegal aliens? What happens when an American crosses the border, are they at their own risk? How does law enforcement differ in Mexico, compared to Arizona? The facts and conclusions drawn from the author, who was raised from conservative roots in America, makes this book appealing to both conservatives, and liberals. The author's personal journey through American politics becomes a stepping stone of knowledge for America's future. "FEEDING LIONS" contains sidesplitting comic in comparison to GOOD MORNING VIETNAM, and is as brilliant as WAG THE DOG with Dustin Hoffman, and Robert DeNiro. Author/Reviewer Geri Ahearn

*****REVIEW ~COWGIRL DREAMS~ HEIDI M. THOMAS~

Genre: Western Historical www.myspace.com/heidiauthor http://heidiwriter.wordpress.com/ http://www.heidimthomas.com/ REVIEW ***A TRIUMPH*** Nettie Brady who is fifteen years old sets out to pursue her dream, regardless of family opposition, and strict standards of society in the 1920s. She is determined to fight all obstacles that cross her path, including weather, and finances. Nettie finds the courage to replace skirts with pants, while protesting that a women's place doesn't have to be in the kitchen, barefoot, and pregnant. She begins to venture out into Montana's male territory to prove that she could be a rodeo champion and anything else she wants to be, despite ugly rumors of a bad reputation. Nettie is the prime example of "You've come a long way baby!" She is as strong and as persistent in fulfilling her dream as Martin Luther King was in many of his public presentations on peace, and equality. Nettie Brady is the perfect role model for women's rights as she holds her head up high in her first bucking steer ride at the rodeo, then proving a few years later that she could be one of Montana's famous cowgirls, a wife, and a mom. I recommend this novel to all reader's who enjoy a great western adventure as they step out of city life, and jump into Montana's big sky in the pastures, and hills. Heidi M. Thomas paints a picture perfect "Little House On The Prairie" setting as you learn about riding, and roping steers. The reader can smell the warm cow pie, while visualizing how life is lived on a ranch. The author's western story comes to life as the reader imagines the milking of cows, churning butter, and chicken chasing. The plot is realistic as Nettie continues to rebel, and life on the ranch may have been more simple back then, but daily chores were tough. The story becomes heart-wrenching and emotional when Nettie faces the loss of her baby sister, ignores her mother's request, and battles with all the storms through the journey of her dream. What happens when she falls in love with Jake? Will she be a famous cowgirl, or the boring housewife that she dreads to become? How does life change during the influenza epidemic? Will Nettie always ache in pain for love and acceptance from her family? Does she prove that her dreams only belong to her? Family history becomes a constant shifting of drama in a world of tradition as one woman dares to break the rules. "COWGIRL DREAMS" is a triumph in every respect in this delightful celebration of life, is as inspiring as ERIN BROCKOVICH, and as entertaining as THE HORSE WHISPERER with Robert Redford.

*****REVIEW ~Nightmares Can Be Murder~

By author Sandra L. Vardaman Genre: Young Adult Mystery www.myspace.com/slvardaman www.facebook.com/home.php www.newcenturypublishing.org REVIEW Joanna Morgan has insomnia from recurrent nightmares, which leave her totally drained, mentally and physically. Joanna's nightmares began after the tragic death of her father occurred. The news reported that her father, Everett Morgan jumped off the roof of the Northcliff Towers. The police investigation attributed his death as suicide, and closed the case. But Joanna never believed that her dad committed suicide from the moment she heard about the tragedy. Her haunting dreams persuade her to do everything in her power to prove that his death was not in fact suicide. She convinces Maddie, who is her best friend, to help her gather information to reopen the case, regardless of the time involved and the dangers they may face. When Joanna learned that another dead body was found in the same location of the Northcliff Towers, her haunting suspicions were confirmed and nothing was going to stop her from seeking the clues for evidence, while enforcing justice to be served. As Joanna and Maddie's journey begins, they are convinced that there's a murderer walking the streets and they must spy on the powerful Northcliff family as they attempt to unlock a deadly secret behind the doors of greed. It is known that anyone who attempted to come into contact with this family is indeed taking a risk. Will Joanna and Maddie find the killer, or will the killer find them? Who is the killer's next victim? Why doesn't Joanna's mom listen to how Joanna really feels about her father's death, is her reason for safety, or is there something she's hiding? Why did Captain McCallister, who once worked with Joanna's father, refuse to reopen the case, and continue to rule it as a suicide? Who is Raymond Northcliff, and was he on the roof the same night that Joanna's dad was? Will there be a confession, and from who? I recommend this novel to all mystery lovers. Sandra L. Vardaman penned a spellbinding psychological, suspenseful story in the spirit of Hitchcock with a series of twists-and-turns that will keep you guessing to the end. "NIGHTMARES CAN BE MURDER" is as chilling as "NO WAY OUT" and as dramatic as "ALONG CAME A SPIDER" with Morgan Freeman.

*****REVIEW ~~HONOR DEFENDED~~

By Author D.H. Brown Genre: Action/Mystery/Thriller http://www.dhbrownbooks.com http://www.myspace.com/dhbrownbooks http://www.bigriverpress.com/ REVIEW The Major is back in book two of the Citizen Warrior Series, "HONOR DEFENDED." As we learned from HONOR DUE, the Major is a kindhearted, caring, family man. He is also the Vietnam vet who will not allow anything to cross his path when it comes to hurting innocent citizens, especially his friends, and family. While still mourning the death of one of his War Brothers, he receives notification of a horrifying murder and kidnapping involving a friend. Carmen was kidnapped, and her husband who was an American soldier and home from Iraq was beheaded, then their home was set on fire. The Major calls in his troops, and begins the investigation. Does Carmen return to safety, and where is her vehicle? How is it possible that twelve terrorists wind up in someone's backyard, why was it that easy? How many battles and interrogations will the Major face? Do the Major's Warriors seek revenge, and is justice served? Embrace yourself, put on your seatbelt, and enjoy the greatest thrill ride you've ever endured! The setting in the great NorthWest is perfect for the action-packed adventure to take place, the story is engrossing, and the characters come to life once again. I recommend this novel to all mystery lovers who enjoy thrillers, with humor, and compassion. The plot consists of hard-hitting action, and is emotional, and heartwarming. When the Major realizes that the crime committed was no random act of violence, the fireworks begin, tension is at its highest peak, and the adrenaline is flowing. The bond between the Warriors is stronger than ever as excitement explodes, while the hunt begins. D.H. Brown penned an incredible breathtaking adventure as his Masterpiece becomes a tribute to Vietnam vets. "HONOR DEFENDED" is as compelling as Steven Spielberg's "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" with Tom Hanks!

*****REVIEW ~HOME AFTER DARK~

Subtitle: "One Man's Memories" Genre: Memoir By Author DARRYL E. ROBIDOUX http://www.homeafterdark.com/ http://www.fivestarpublications.com/ REVIEW Born into a family of farmers and a dropout from school at age sixteen with absolutely no recollection of parental hugs, or the words we desperately need to hear repeatedly from childhood to adult, "I Love You!" The eyes of Darryl E. Robidoux witnessed poverty during childhood, hard labor, and the lack of one of the most important human needs in life which normally stems from birth through adult, love. Knowing farm life wasn't for him and determined to change the lifestyle he once lived, while carrying the insensitivity of not knowing what love is on his shoulders, he moved on. He walked on the road to success, without looking back. He lived what he learned. We make choices in life, unintentionally, those choices are sometimes not always the right ones. When we start at the bottom, there's only one place to go, climb the ladder to the top. With motivation and determination, Darryl reached for the stars. He sought perfection, not fame, but fortune. He studied engineering in college, then computer science, and became a great asset to Xerox while the company was booming. Although, he had a wife and children, his work became top priority. Years later, his work became his life. He was obsessed with becoming wealthy, and perfection at the work place was his primary goal. He achieved his goal and retired at age forty as a very successful man. But after he retired, he realized something was missing. Something that gives people a reason to live gracefully, and happy as they age. Something that he felt was missing during childhood, something that everyone desperately needs to grow up with. He realized that life, regardless of wealth, needs to be nourished with love. He realized that the most important necessity in life is one thing we can't buy, while learning that money wasn't everything. The author clearly informs the reader that dedication and motivation are important, and success is wonderful. He encourages people to educate, and to be who you want to be. Most important, without a doubt, he describes that the golden key is the one to your heart. Without that key, an emptiness will exist, which will forever need to be fulfilled. I applaud the author for pure honesty, and inspiration to all. I recommend this novel to everyone that seeks to learn from others, for all those who wish to learn how to become successful, and to everyone who wishes to benefit from a story told through experience about the most important roads in life. The autobiography of Darryl E. Robidoux is as sentimental as "RICH MAN,POOR MAN." "HOME AFTER DARK" captures the heart the same way it does in "PRETTY WOMAN" and is as passionate as "NOTTING HILL" with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant!

*****REVIEW ~DELAYED JUSTICE~

By Author Mack Beasley Genre: Mystery http://mackbeasley.webs.com/ http://www.myspace.com/writermack www.shoutlife.com/mackbeasley REVIEW A minister is arrested for the murder of his wife, is he innocent, or guilty of the crime? The minister is an old prison buddy of Mike Blackman, the attorney who is asked to represent him in this criminal case. Mike who is an ex-con, and a recovering alcoholic, accepts to represent the minister, while working as a part-time investigator. Ben Blackman who is Mike's son, works side-by-side with his father to crack the case open. Mike is determined to not allow anything to get in his way if he knows a suspect is framed, simply because of his unfortunate past. Ben knows that his father is intelligent, brave, and will fight at all cost to prove innocence in order to save a life. Mike has complete faith in his son to work as a team, but Ben who is handsome, and quite the charmer, also works with a beautiful lawyer. The gorgeous attorney is single, Ben is divorced, and the fireworks begin as love fills the air. Does love hinder the case? Will justice be served for the minister? If the minister is innocent, who killed his wife? The investigation begins as Mike and Ben search for answers, but who's searching for them? I recommend this novel to all mystery lovers who enjoy thrillers, with dazzling romance. Mack Beasley penned a smart, passionate, and steadily engrossing thriller. The pages are covered in drama, Mike and Ben must clean a whirlpool of lies, and hidden passion begins to bloom. "DELAYED JUSTICE" is as dramatic as "THE RENDERING" and as suspenseful as "THE PLEDGE" with Jack Nicholson. Geraldine Ahearn AIOM HonDG author of 6 books Founding Member ABI Women's Review Board

While on a ship in Bermuda, the captain announced the terrifying event, three-thousand people aboard in complete panic for their loved ones who they may have lost that day. As I viewed the burning towers on TV, I immediately thought of friends who I knew worked there, and prayed in silence that their lives didn't end. I knew the amount of people that had to be hurt, and could silently hear the screams. Husbands, wives, and children. Pregnant women, firefighters, and police officers. Innocent bystanders, and tourists. I thought to myself, how many times have I looked up to the towers? But on this day, I never imagined devastation would occur! Me, along with millions of Americans who were all asking the same two questions, why, and how? Steven Clark Bradley's "PATRIOT ACTS" comes to life, and is as scary as the same day I witnessed the tragedy of the burning towers. He creates a picture-perfect image of terrorism, and brings it to life in his adrenaline-pumping story of a nuclear attack after visiting thirty-four countries, and expertise on working as a freelance journalist. I recommend this novel to all those interested to learn about terrorism, for military fiction fans, and all thriller lovers. The reader is able to dive into the dangerous mind of a terrorist, learning what motivates such a person, and why this person can become a walking time bomb. This novel leaves an aftermath behind, without a doubt, and the readers will indeed keep thinking about the War on Terror, long after they close the book. For added touches, the author cleverly demonstrates what it feels like to live through a national crisis, and the reader can sense the fear through this remarkable story. "PATRIOT ACTS" is as intense as "ARLINGTON ROAD" where your paranoia can become real, and is as mesmerizing as "WORLD TRADE CENTER."

*****REVIEW ~ABSTRACT MURDER~

By author Andie Lee Peck Genre: Mystery/Suspense/Police Procedual/Psychological Thriller http://www.myspace.com/andieleames http://www.bebo.com/DreamLover40 http://www.google.com/s2/profiles/109913138483363664038 REVIEW Michael, and Lenie work together on criminal cases in the world of crime. There are many violent offenders, with fifteen names on a list of victims. Is Father Thomas on that list, and who sought revenge? Who left a red patent leather high-heel shoe behind, and is this evidence related to the call girl escort? Michael continues to experience terrifying dreams, while a missing woman is found dead in a river, and toe-tags are placed on a dead body, covered with puncture wounds. Who is known as "The Artist" and why? Where are preserved heads found, and what was the symbolic message attached to this evil act? Should Brian Thomas beg for mercy? What happened to Megan Young? How many more women are missing, and found dead? How many bodies were encased in plaster of paris, and who is the killer? I recommend "ABSTRACT MURDER" to all horror, and mystery lovers. There are three different killers, and the reader will be able to visualize what makes them tick in this disturbing, psychological suspense, told from various characters with dangerous minds. Andie Lee Peck cleverly pens this horror, suspenseful story in a flash forward, the past and the present time, while pointing to good versus evil. As the reader is taken on an emotional roller coaster ride, continuous twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you were an Alfred Hitchcock fan, then you will enjoy this wild, mysterious ride through the character's lives, and psyches that send chills up your spine. "ABSTRACT MURDER" is a nail-biting tense thriller, as chilling as "COPYCAT." This novel is as intense as "The BONE COLLECTOR." A taut, riveting thriller that will keep you guessing as if viewing "KISS THE GIRLS" with Morgan Freeman, and Ashley Judd.

**Welcome author GARY STARTA**

I Welcome author Gary Starta! author of: "BLOOD WEB" subtitle: "A Caitlin Diggs Novel" Genre: Science Fiction http://www.eternalpress.ca/murderbyassociationnew.html http://www.amazon.com/ http://www.fictionwise.com/ http://www.charlesriverpress.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrKKfoKYy3g http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Web-Gary-Starta/dp/0979130484/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s= books&qid=1244828331&sr=8-1 http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/garystartaeBooks.htm http://www.facebook.com/gary.starta http://www.lyricalpress.com/extreme_liquidation Gary Starta is a former journalist who studied English and Journalism at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. His love for science fiction compelled him to write his first novel "What Are You Made Of?" It was published in 2006. Inspired by Isaac Asimov, the science fiction novel focuses on intelligent artificial life and whether sentient androids should possess the same rights as humans. The androids in Starta's novel are created as hybrids-part machine, part human-further blurring the line between human and machine. Starta foresees a near future where humans will be forced to decide if intelligent machinery is indeed a life form. Possibly, in this near future, some humans will possess computer enhancements to overcome disabilities becoming hybrids themselves. The line between biological life form and mechanical life form will continue to be examined in a follow up novel now being written. Starta cites Stephen King and Dean Koontz as inspirations for his 2007 novel "BLOOD WEB" which is also reminiscent of the X-files television/movie series. Contemporary authors Laurell K. Hamilton, Rachel Caine, Jim Butcher and Kelly Armstrong also fuel his aspiration to create paranormal suspense. The follow up novel to "BLOOD WEB" -"EXTREME LIQUIDATION" explores Caitlin Diggs' supernatural gifts, including the ability to see the future in dreams and to read a person's character through emotions. "EXTREME LIQUIDATION" which was published in 2009 is now available at: http://www.lyricalpress.com/. It deals with fringe science, black magic and the paranormal. CSI Detective Stanford Carter will discover how thin the line of sanity is in MURDER BY ASSOCIATION- a new mystery novella available at EternalPress.com-see it at this link: http://www.eternalpress.ca/murderbyassociationnew.html Welcome Aboard Gary!
