Peace at the Edge of Uncertainty by Neil Hanson

peace at the edge

Peace at the Edge of Uncertainty is a book about beginnings and journeys.  Neil Hanson tells of the story of a man who journeys to the edge of life as we know it to tell of.  The edge of death is explained in first person as you would think someone is feeling as they journey from the here and now to the hearafter.  I enjoyed how enlightening it was because you really only think about your own … [Read more...]

Enchantment – The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions

enchantment

If you have a business or even if you are planning to ask your boss for a raise you may need to improve your enchantment or likeability.  The author Guy Kawasaki is a guru when it comes to business practices.  He says it not about manipulations to get what you want but really about situations and relationships.  I like that it is so much more than a sales technique.  Establishing relationships … [Read more...]

I had the awesome opportunity to review The Big Show Stopper written by Ken Dalton.  The book opens with a bang at concert where Brady Blackstone is about to perform.  There is an accident and it changes all who know Brady Blackstone.    The other characters Pinky, Bear and Flo end up in California.  And the book helps bring them to light.  They are a lively group and you will immediately … [Read more...]

Down the Road – Book Review

down the road

Do you like a little bit of horror in your books?  Don't read this one at night unless you want to have to peek around the corners.  Complete with Zombies Bowie Ibarra takes you on a bizarre drama complete with revenge, some snark, ghosts and it's a story about a teacher.  His day starts out like any other and then wow it really changes.  All George Zaragosa wants to do is get home to San … [Read more...]

His Other Wife – Book Review

his other wife

The title itself was very intriguing as a Christian fiction novel.  Deborah Bedford writes a very strong novel about the aftermath of divorce and the affects on the children.  Hilary's ex husband Eric remarries and his new wife blames Hilary for Seth (the son's) accident.  Eric who has been pretty much absent returns to the scene so father and son have to re-examine their relationship.  I … [Read more...]

An American Saga Threads West – Book Review

threads west

What I love about Threads West is that it really transports you back to the West.  Reid Lance Rosenthal really takes you back with the descriptions and the writing of the characters.  I found it very hard to put the book down.  The individuals come together from different places to begin the journey.  It reads of course like our history.  People were drawn to the west with the promise of a … [Read more...]

Crimson Wind – Book Review

crimson wind

If you are looking for a strong female character you have found one in Max.  Her goal through the book is to locate her family but of course she is sidetracked and that is the basis of this book.  She runs into several people along the way and there is a lot of 'tension' between Alexander and Max which makes for some good reading :)  This is actually the second installment in the series but … [Read more...]
