"A TERRIFYING CYCLE OF RETRIBUTION, RAGE, AND A PASSION!", December 26, 2009
Julia Dudek takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride through a dark, twisted tunnel as it enters the human psyche. The ride begins slow, then speeds up, and suddenly you feel like you're on a rocket. As you wait to see if there will be light at the end of that horrifying tunnel as chills go up your spine, while sitting on the edge of your seat, you witness a heart-pounding thriller. This compelling, nail-biting story portrays the terrible truths that hide behind everyday appearances. The plot is a spellbinding, chilling journey that reveals just how little we know about the world around us. The pages are filled with revenge, passion, and rage, with a spectrum of terror that only a few can see. Evil has its winning ways, but how far will Angelique McCourt go to seek her revenge on Bernadette's killer? Will Angelique find the mysterious pieces to the bizarre puzzle? This spine-tingling suspenseful journey will continue through relentless psychological torment. How many victims does detective Ben Marsden find, and does he solve the puzzle before Angelique? On the quest of vengeance for the murder of her best friend, does Angelique's life fall apart, and how does she change? Does an intelligent beauty queen, with a photographic memory battle a blood-thirsty monster, and where does she find that demon? As rage and danger light up the pages, while Angelique embarks on a ruthless mission to hunt the killer, who's on the hunt for her? Does Angelique's mission become seductive and deadly to find the missing pieces? Will passion distort the hidden truth in the case? After suffering the loss of a loved one, then jumping into the mind of a deranged killer, will Angelique survive her struggles for justice as she faces her worst fears? I highly recommend this novel to all thriller lovers. The pages are packed with drama, the characters are intriguing, and the plot explodes into an entertaining, psychological thriller. The author cleverly defines the good, the bad, and the evil through characters that come to life in a twisted, emotional story. "PIECES" is as chilling as DON'T SAY A WORD, as intense as ALONG CAME A SPIDER, and as suspenseful as THE BONE COLLECTOR, with Denzel Washington, and Angelina Jolie.

"CAPTIVATING, ENCHANTING AND DELIGHTFUL!", December 13, 2009
Maisy was a good witch, very kind to people, unlike her deceased family members, who were evil. The only living member in Maisy's family was her cousin Egbert. Maisy lived in a tree-house, and Egbert lived at the far side of the woods. Although Maisy lived alone, she enjoyed her privacy. People misjudged her, because she was old, and looked like a witch. Egbert was very old, and was a scary wizard. Maisy spent most of her life, trying to fix things. She was happy to turn wrong into right, except she was very clumsy, and her magic didn't always turn out to be the way she wanted it. She tried to remove the rainbow stripes from her talking cat, but failed. She attempted to help her talking owl, so that the owl could communicate with other owls, but failed. Maisy was one not to give up, so one day while going to visit Egbert, she decided to fetch ingredients to fix her cat. However, she was distracted in the woods by Leo, and a young girl crying. Melissa ran away from her evil uncle, and Leo did not know who he was. Maisy welcomed Leo and Melissa to live with her, so that Melissa would be safe, and Leo could help out with chores, while watching over Melissa. While collecting herbs in Maisy's garden, Melissa was taken away by her uncle's men to the castle, after the villain hit Leo. Why did uncle Tarquin want Melissa dead, before the age of eighteen? Why couldn't Leo remember who he was? Who gave Maisy the nickname of Butterfingers? Who was Prince Christian, and what happened to him in the woods? Who joins Maisy to rescue Melissa, who was locked away in the castle? Who does Egbert use a magic reversing spell on? Who rode the broomstick, which became a white horse, and where were they going? Does Tarquin pay for his cruelty, and greed? Who poisoned the king, and why? Who was Jack, and what did he tell Maisy? Who was Bardolf, and what did Tarquin order him to do? I highly recommend this fascinating and educational story to children of all ages, filled with magical powers in a thrilling adventure. Morgan Fitzsimons, author and artist, created a complete triumph, which turns into a Masterpiece of delightful entertainment. Creatures come to life, and cat and owl light up the pages with humor. The unforgettable characters are impressive as drama continues in the unpredictable castle. Do the knights win the battle, and does Melissa find freedom? What happens to Leo, and did the toad eat the fly? Find out the moral to the story in this outrageous odyssey of fun and fantasy as the epic adventure unfolds in this amazing, magical world. "BUTTERFINGERS AND SECRETS" is as enchanting as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, as captivating as HARRY POTTER, and as hilarious as SHREK THE THIRD.

"A RADIANT ROMANCE IN A BREATHTAKING HISTORICAL ADVENTURE!", November 22, 2009
Mark Stephen Levy takes his traveling adventures and his personal love story as he creates an incredible Masterpiece of war, history, and romance. The main character, Danny Benson is a man who makes the reader turn the pages as fast as the speed of lightning, and has the type of personality that would make your heart melt. As he rides the Magic Bus to Afghanistan in desperate search to find the woman he loves, with answers to many questions about their relationship, unexpected circumstances
changes his life forever. When Danny finds Heather in Kabul, what else does he find? Did Heather ever
find herself, and what else does she find? How did the Soviet invasion, and the bomb blast affect
Danny's life? Which direction was Danny in, and was it the same direction Heather was in? Did unexpected events in Danny's life bring him happiness? Why did Danny want to go to Kathmandu? What does the blood stained blue scarf signify? Why was James arrested? What was considered paradise for
Danny? Who is Vyasa, and what did he do for Danny? I highly recommend this novel to all fiction,
historical fiction, and adventure lovers. The sweet scent of sizzling romance blossoms like a rose
as the reader is taken on an interesting journey through the culture and beauty of different
countries. Challenges are taken through many twists-and-turns, while war is looming as the pages become covered in drama. The plot is captivating, the story is delightful and the fascinating characters come to life in this unique, emotional roller-coaster ride. The author paints each page with excitement, danger, sorrow, and happiness. A colorful portrait is the result of an unforgettable story that's made for the movie screen. "OVERLAND" is as entertaining as GONE WITH THE WIND, as romantic as JERRY MAGUIRE, and as dramatic as THE DEER HUNTER with Robert Deniro.

"A TRULY SPECTACULAR STORY!", November 2, 2009
The main character in Craig Lancaster's fascinating story is Edward Stanton, a man who lives not only isolated from the rest of the world, but who suffers from mental illness at the age of thirty-nine. Actually, according to Edward, his true age is calculated at thirty-nine, and three-hundred days old. His
daily routine is based on prozac for his obsessive-compulsive disorder, writing his unsent letters of
complaints, and watching another repeated episode of Dragnet so that he can pretend that Sergeant Joe Friday
is his father as of 1994. Sergeant Joe Friday
became Edward's father figure, after Edward's relationship with his father began to deteriorate. Edward felt
hatred and ambivalence after his father hit him, and was forced to sign a memorandum of understanding. Edward's life was controlled by his father through Jay L. Lamb, who was an attorney for Edward's father. Ted
Stanton, Edward's father, was not only rich, but also a very powerful politician and was the county commmissioner. Maureen Stanton, Edward's mother, was detached from Edward most of his life, until her husband
passed away. I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys an inspiring story, blended with courage, and hope.
This book is also educational as it conveys the special needs of individuals who are diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorders, and the various paths these individuals walk on to survive. Why did Edward
read "The Billings Gazette" everyday, and why was he so fond of the Dallas Cowboys? Will Edward always live
alone in Montana, or will Donna, and Kyle be part of his life? What does Maureen do when she finds out about
the letters that Edward received from Jay? Does Edward listen to Dr. Buckly, and does he defy his father?
What does Edward say in his "Dear God" letter? Will Edward's life always consist of patterns, facts, and
files? "600 HOURS OF EDWARD" is as heartfelt and touching as the movie AS GOOD AS IT GETS with Jack
Nicholson, and Helen Hunt.

"A DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY, WITH UNFORGETTABLE CONSEQUENCES!", November 1, 2009
"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 FOEWARD." 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!

"A FAST-PACED, HEAD-SNAPPING CHILLER!", October 28, 2009
Murder finds its way in Scottsdale, Arizona, better known as the world's lovely tourist attraction, where you
daydream at the pool as you soak up the golden sun. Is Scottsdale a common ground for killers, and cheating
spouses? A beloved local artist, known to many for her efforts to aid Hispanic, illegal immigrants is

he hiding anything? Fear doesn't stop Lila from attempting to crack the case as her courage becomes stronger,
when her best friend becomes the number one suspect. Will the criminal be found and is the case connected

discovering a murderer is walking the same streets? Does Lila find the killer, or does the killer find Lila?
Can Lila find a conviction, or lead to the case, before her friend is locked up behind bars? I highly recommend this novel to all mystery lovers and to all those who enjoy fast-paced thrillers, packed with action, and suspense. The plot is electrifying, and the characters come to life as the investigation explodes with chilling details, every step of the way as we find out who becomes the next victim. Will justice be served, and for who? "SINS OF THE BORDER" is as sensational as HIGH CRIMES, and as riveting as
THE INSIDER, with Al Pacino.

"PASSIONATE, INSPIRING AND UNDENIABLY UPLIFTING!", October 25, 2009
Dr. Ed. Feyereisen, who is a Doctor of psychology, brings hope and inspiration to all readers, through his
book that's based on adult personal development. A lifelong student, observer of human behavior, teacher and
coach, Dr. Ed. helps the reader to focus on a positive attitude everyday. His topics for conversation include ways to eliminate stress, changing negative thoughts about ourselves, and how to live happy, productive lives. He provides simple exercises and proven techniques to help people in business, and personal life, while encouraging readers to dwell on the gifts we present to the world. Through research and
experience, Dr. Ed. adds a personal touch to his book as he helps the reader to understand motivational literature in an easy-to-read, common sense format, which will help the reader to see life in a different
light. I highly recommend this book to all those who are searching for inspiration, guidance, and direction
to creating the life of our dreams. This book is not only a tribute to the author's mother and his mentors,
but a Masterpiece in wisdom and practical tips for success, with a blend of humor, and storytelling. In
comparison to MASTERING THE SELF: A Motivational Guide To Understanding Yourself And Dealing With Life, I
found that "LIVING LIFE WITH NO REGRETS: Your Guide To Lasting Happiness" to be more gratifying for daily
mediation on creating a fulfilling life, while providing a more realistic understanding on motivational skills, towards achieving happiness. This book is thought-provoking, practical, powerful, and inspiring.
"Good-Greed" is worth reading over-and-over. "In A New York Minute" will indeed give the readers a new
awareness on the rest of our lives, and "The Greatest Gift" will boost your self-esteem. The golden key to
happiness from Dr. Ed. will open the positive door to a healthy life as we begin to feel better about
ourselves, and once this mission is accomplished, the everlasting rewards are priceless!

"IMPRESSIVE, INSPIRING AND POWERFULLY MOVING!", October 19, 2009
A young girl lived with her family, comfortable, and happy. At the age of thirteen, her entire world became
shattered, like a broken glass. A brutal conflict from the Balkan War, forced her to flee with her parents,
moving from village-to-village. Filled with fear, devastated, and deprived of her culture, she finds refuge
in Germany with her parents. The morals and values of her homeland no longer existed, while forced to conform
to live in a liberal, Western society. Why did Aida rebel, and detach herself from the close bond with her
parents? When the war ended, Aida's parents returned to Bosnia, why didn't Aida join them? When did Aida
move to America, and enlist in the U.S. Army? Does she ever reunite with her parents in Germany? I highly
recommend this novel to all non-fiction lovers, who enjoy a true story that's thrilling, chilling, and
packed with heartfelt emotion. I also recommend it to every woman, who wish to become inspired through the
strength, courage, and determination of Aida Osmani. Her top priority in publishing this book was to reach
out to every woman in the world, who experienced abuse and humiliation, with a compassionate message that
they can bury the past, and once again live a happy life. Aida's motto is to bury the negativity, and
move on. How did Aida save her own life, and her family? Did Aida's brother leave Bosnia before the war, and
did she ever see him again? How many people witnessed the nightmare of beatings, torture, rapes, and murder?
How many people were deprived of food, clothing, and shelter? How many victims were tormented for years by
the horror flashbacks of what they endured as a refugee? How many people wandered from village-to-village
in bitter cold, while starving, and listening to horrific bombings? The author penned an incredible,
chilling, true story. The setting is realistic and the pages are filled with drama, sorrow, mixed-emotions,
and courage. The author was born in Trnovac, Serbia, and raised in Bosnia. She came to the United States
in 1999, where she enlisted in the U.S.Army. She worked in Afghanistan, and is now a U.S. citizen, and
proud Army veteran. The author invites you to hop on a train and take a ride through the horror of her
past, to achieving the American dream with dignity, and honor! "FROM THE RUINS: A Daughter. A Refugee. An
American Soldier" is as impressive as GONE WITH THE WIND with Clark Gable, and Vivien Leigh.
