The World is Larger than the Small Human Stories - Vol 1, 2 & 3

I'm assuming that it is allowed to talk about one's books: So this is the description from the back cover. 

Cali Morgenstern and Harold English are thrown outside the known world. Tossed by the maelstrom, they find action, adventure, true love and treachery, unimagined possibilities and shattering events. Along the way, there is the nefarious firm of Coldmen Sacking, drug cartels, lust, cruelty, kindness, the small life and pitiful death of a Reverend Ostein, Grendel,…

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

If Death wanted to tell you a story, would you pay attention? That’s just what you’ll do when you pick up The Book Thief.



Death is a busy fellow (although he’s not gender specific we get the feeling he’s male). But the large scale events that keep him busy don’t often give him time to ponder why he may cross paths many times with some people. The case of Liesel Meminger is different. Death crosses her path many times during World War II’s Germany.

Death tells ten…

between shades of gray by Ruta Sepetys

“They took me in my nightgown.” – This is the opening sentence of Between Shades of Gray. Rarely have I read an opening that drew me into a story as quickly as this one.

Lina Vilkas is a fifteen year old girl living in Lithuania in June of 1941. Her family is typical – she has a younger brother and two educated loving parents. Her life is typical middle-class in that her family has a nice home, good food, warm beds, and they basically want for nothing. Within hours of our meeting the…

The 70th anniversary of the Fall of Bataan will be on April 9, 2012.    Not too many people are aware of this tragic event in our history.  Four months after Pearl Harbor, around 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers were forced to surrender on the peninsula of Bataan in the Philippines on April 9, 1942 under the leadership of General Jonathan Wainwright.  Most of the men were emaciated and sick.  No provisions were made for transport  so the prisoners were forced to march some 60 miles…

It Always Works Out...

This. Is. It. Finished. The End. Done with the last chapter in my second novel, a contemporary war romance titled “A World Apart”. Can’t describe what an emotional journey it was!

I feel drained, with nothing else to give, nothing else to add, but incredibly happy and at peace … I already miss my heroes, and can’t wait to see them for real, holding my book for the first time.

I’m not an American by birth, but by choice. It’s one of the best gifts the U.S. gave…

A New Venture

Right... now...er... well, to start with I've been here a couple of weeks, enough time to get some idea of what's going on. And I'm so impressed by the way in which you present yourselves, Forget the writing for the moment though some of that is quite wonderful. I simply want to warn you in advance, don't expect too much in the way of presentation. There'll be no fancy backgrounds, no flowery bits, no photos no elegant typography. I came late to all this, much too late. It makes my head…

Nick Of Time: A Genre Blender Featuring Time Traveling Pirates

Nick of Time by Ted Bell

This is another bargain bin item. I get most of these books for a dollar or two a piece and because there’s so many I often skim them before buying them, you make sure I’m not buying a boring romance or mediocre mystery. But this one was called “In The Nick Of Time by Ted Bell.” And I when I skimmed it, I found it was about Time Travel., and like the typical sci-fi nerd I am I go “sweet!” I love Time Travel. So it; was quickly tossed into the “To buy”…
