"COMPELLING, INTRIGUING, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING!"

      Criminal defense lawyer, Scott Lonnigan usually absorbs much more than one can handle on an average day, and some days are more challenging to deal with. On the day Wayne dropped off a bag of cocaine, and left it on Scott's desk is a prime example of Scott becoming involved, over the top of his head. After one man makes a promise, it gets broken, and before you know it, the innocent can easily become a victim. The law may be Scott's life, but will he be able to keep his name on a clean slate? When Scott's world changes as fast as a bolt of lightning, who will be the accused? Will justice be served, and for whom?

Frank R. Southers uses his expertise from many years of experience, working as a Texas attorney, as he invites the reader to a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on inside the court-room. We begin to learn how the law works, the true definition of justice, and the meaning of 'innocent until proven guilty.' The author presents different cases, and key factors to what a trial consists of, and its outcome in a verdict. In addition, the reader learns how much one can pay for 'a serious mistake' and how words can transform our lives within a split-second. Most important, Frank R. Southers has you thinking about the lives of the accused, along with the lives of professionals as we sort out the rights from the wrongs, long after this book is closed.

Book Two is a legal thrilling Masterpiece in this intriguing series, packed with gripping stories about flawed, colorful characters who come to life, in a picture-perfect setting that fits like a glove. "A SERIOUS MISTAKE" is as dramatic as The Client, as intense as The Juror, and as entertaining as The Pelican Brief. Highly recommended!

***5 Star REVIEW~"JUST POINT AT HIM"~~Authors SNJEZANA MARINKOVIC & GREGORY L. TORI***


http://amzn.com/B00CYVWKYW

http://www.barnesandnoble.com

http://www.snjezanamarinkovic.com


"HEART-WRENCHING, EMOTIONAL, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING!"

      A young boy finds himself one evening, walking a lonely, silent road in the dark, as he contemplates to reach his safe destiny. He begins to realize that he should not be alone, so far away from where he belongs, so he walks faster-and-faster. Suddenly, he makes one wrong decision that will affect his life forever. A young girl plays her favorite fun game in the mirror as she pretends to play movie star, until her imaginary play-time turned into devastation, and fear.

This child will never forget her favorite game, which will forever remind her of her worst nightmare. A very young boy plays in a hot-tub near a poolside, but one incident that day, will place a scar on his life that may never heal. All three cases have something in common. Within a split-second, an unexpected horrifying event occurred, that will change the lives of a victim forever.

Snjezana Marinkovic and Gregory L. Tori deliver a powerfully moving presentation through extensive research and investigations with heartfelt, emotional stories about the lives of criminals and victims as they share their own personal stories, and opinions about the American Criminal Justice system. The authors highlight what happens behind closed doors of a victim, what happens when someone found guilty is innocent, a behind-the-scenes look of prison cells, and the true definition of survival. The reader follows an intense, frightening court case, along with incidents in people's lives that continue to haunt. If the convicted made one mistake, but paid big-time, will he be able to move forward? If someone had to pay for a crime he did not commit and is released from prison twenty years later, will he be able to get his life back? Can our justice system protect the helpless, while defining the true meaning of mercy? Has it become easier for many to be silenced in situations of injustice, rather than voicing a statement in the fear of a courtroom?

The reader will think about the touching stories in this book that tug at the heart, long after it's closed. "JUST POINT AT HIM" is as chilling as The Juror, as entertaining as The Shawshank Redemption, and as emotional as The Green Mile. Due to the sensitivity and graphic content within the stories, I highly recommend this book to adults only, who are interested in criminal justice, and legal studies!

5 Star REVIEW~~"STILLWELL:A Haunting On Long Island"~**Bestselling author MICHAEL PHILLIP CASH**

http://www.amazon.com

http://www.michaelphillipcash.com



"HEART-WRENCHING, HAUNTING, SPINE-TINGLING, AND IMPRESSIVE!"

      Michael Phillip Cash delivers a thrilling, entertaining story that is not only made for the big-screen, but is phenomenal in every aspect. I enjoyed this gripping story so much, I had to read twice. "STILLWELL" grabbed my attention in the first chapter, and is indeed one of those books we label as an 'all-nighter.' I was drawn into the story immediately for a few reasons. One reason was that after residing in Long Island 45 years, I found the setting in this riveting story to be picture-perfect. As I read on, I could see the fog, and feel the mist in the cold air, as if I was at the manor. Most important, the author has a gift, which is his unique imagination, capable of drawing the reader in like a magnet as we experience a roller-coaster ride of emotions. The quality of Michael Phillip Cash's creativity is nothing less than 'impressive.'

      Paul Russo is distraught, depressed, and apprehensive after watching his wife suffer from the horror of a brain tumor for a year, which to him seemed like eternity. He's dealing with mixed emotions, losing the love of his life, who gave him 3 beautiful children, and he has no idea how to pick up the pieces. He's not eating, sleeping, and experiences hallucinations. Paul and his children also have nightmares about evil demons. The first solution Paul comes up with was to return to work as a real- estate agent. Paul then realizes this decision that he thought would give him some kind of peace, actually added more stress to his life. As he learns the history of Stillwell, he discovers that the haunted manor has a link, connecting it to his own family. Can Paul solve the mystery of Hannah and John? Can he put a stop to the torment of a demon, holding his wife's spirit captive? Most important, will he find inner peace, by putting his own demons to rest? Will Paul Russo and his family survive from the emotional turmoil that haunts them?

      Michael Phillip Cash pens an extraordinary, captivating story that brings tears to your eyes as you think about the unconditional love that was lost. In addition, the reader can feel the pain that Paul's wife suffered, the devastation of 3 children losing their mother and the fear of the unknown as Paul attempts to fight the terrifying demon, who holds his wife's spirit hostage. "STILLWELL:A Haunting On Long Island" is powerfully moving, as mysterious as The Sixth Sense, as intense as The Others and as chilling as Stephen King's, 'The Shining.' Highly recommended to all readers, who enjoy suspenseful thrillers that tug at the heart, with a blend of paranormal activity. "STILLWELL" has it all as it entertains, until the final curtain closes!

"ENTERTAINING, FUN-FILLED, AND EDUCATIONAL!"

      Captain No Beard enjoyed living on an island with his mates. After all, they were also his friends, and after a while, he treated them like family. Mongo, Linus, Fribbit, and Hallie were a fine crew. Each crew member had a special quality about them, and they were all willing to learn from their great leader, Captain No Beard, who considered his job to be hard work. Mongo was a pro at climbing, Linus was their automatic microphone with his loud roars, Fribbit loved to flop, and Hallie was a fine first mate.

A scary storm began to brew with loud thunder, and everyone aboard pitched in to help Captain No Beard make sure all was safe. He rescued Hallie, commanded directions to keep a clean ship, and delivered the right answers in his best pirate voice.

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the mysterious sea, and a mermaid appeared with yummy treasure. Captain No Beard reminded Alexander to clean up the mess, before enjoying the golden treats.

Award Winning author Carole P. Roman delivers an exciting, appealing story to young readers, that is not only funny, but educational as well. Through her creative imagination, the author pens a magical, delightful adventure with colorful characters as the story comes to life. The stunning illustrations are inviting as they compliment this fun-filled adventure aboard the Flying Dragon, while sailing across deep, dark seas. Children will become curious as they ask questions, while learning lessons about teamwork, and responsibility. In addition, this charming story also encourages young readers to practice reading skills, as well as participating in group discussions. "CAPTAIN NO BEARD:An Imaginary Tale Of A Pirate's Life" is as heartwarming as Free Willy 3, as hilarious as Shrek The Third, and as entertaining as The Lion King. Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers!
