My take on A Dangerous Element

Five stars from me!

After reading The People in Between: A Cyprus Odyssey, I could not wait for A Dangerous Element to come out. In the mean time, I interviewed Mr. Lamb, a retired military officer, for my blog. Click here to read the interview.

First of all, let me tell you, Mr. Lamb’s ability to describe places he’s been to is uncanny. The settings for his novels are inspired by the places where he lived and worked while serving in the armed forces of the United Stares. The way he described Cyprus in The People in Between is unbelievable. It truly took me away on an adventure to a country I’ve never been to and will probably never see.

A Dangerous Element is just as good, if not better. If you’re into military action and conspiracies, then this book is definitely for you.

Light at the end of the tunnel

We are nearing the end of production of my new book, Haunting from the Past and moving on to Marketing. Even though it was a very long process, it is well worth the wait.

This story is told from Selma’s point of view as was Remember Me. Even though it’s been five years since Selma’s “happily ever after”, she is still broken and needs healing, but the only way to start the healing process is to go back to the place she had left behind two decades before, to come to terms with her past and face her demons head on.

Selma is a respected business woman, living in Chicago with the love of her life and their son. From the outside, it looks as if she finally has it all; career and family many people could only wish for. She thinks she is the luckiest person on the planet who had survived and escaped hell. One day she receives a phone call that forces her to go back to the place she had left behind almost two decades before. She had promised never to go back there, but now, she finds herself in a desperate situation from which there is no way out. She goes back to face her demons once again.

I had such a great time talking with Victoria Riley today. She is the author of Babs, a biography Victoria wrote in honor of her Native American mother. It is truly an amazing story that talks about some burdensome times of poverty and racism. Ms. Riley, not only talks about her mother’s hard life in this book, she also talks about her mother’s great love for her family and God. In addition, she mentions some painful facts from our history that are, at times, hard to swallow.

I am so excited to introduce this wonderful person to you, Author Lisa Tortorello. I’ve read all three of her books and they all left me feeling happy and at awe.

I first fell in love with Lisa’s writing when I read her book My Hero, My Ding, which is a beautifully written, heartwarming story of a special bond between a girl and her grandfather.
I caught myself smiling so many times while reading this wonderful book. Some of it reminded me of the silly things my grandfather and I used to do.
Ms Tortorello did a great job describing all the nice places she and her family had visited. I felt as if she were sitting right next to me, with a cup of tea or coffee in her hand, smiling while reminiscing about all the silly things her grandfather used to do. My favorite one was the icy window scene, ha-ha! Or, the golf ball / microwave incident…

Lessons from a Headache

Interview with: Ted Goodwin

Author of: Lessons from a Headache and a Liebster Award Recipient

Lessons Talk about inspiring.

I never truly understood the word, inspiring, until I read Lessons from a Headache by Ted Goodwin.
In his short biography, Ted talks about some life lessons he learned from the chronic daily migraine headache; lessons that could be applied in any situation.
For over three years, Mr. Goodwin has been dealing with chronic migraine. He has looked for help from his doctors and after many hospitalizations and painful shots, the migraine is still a daily presence in his life. It would have been so easy for him to give up the fight, to just lay down and say, “I can’t”, but Mr. Goodwin did not want to stop living his life. Instead, he took a different approach. He did what most of us would not do when dealing with such paralyzing pain; he stopped trying to defeat it and he simply moved on with his life. He refused to let this pain stop him from living.
Ted’s faith is so great and unshakable that he looks at everything in such a positive way. He listens to that inner voice that so often goes unheard and ignored and he trusts it without a question, because he knows that that voice is God’s will leading him through the darkness and because of this fact, Ted has accomplished things he never even dreamed of accomplishing, such as publishing a book or running marathons.
The message that I took from this book is this: As long as you have strong faith and people who love and support you in your life, there’s absolutely nothing in this world that could stop you from accomplishing great things.
