Wonderful review for Playing Mrs. Kingston by Tony Lee Moral!
Wonderful review for Playing Mrs. Kingston
by Tony Lee Moral!
If you love the intriguing twists and turns of a
murder mystery, then Tony Lee Moral’s Playing Mrs. Kingston may
be just what you’re looking for. When actress, Catriona Benedict, is asked to
play the role of a lifetime as a rich man’s wife, she’s convinced her luck is
about to change, and it does. But change doesn’t always mean for the better.
Soon after her faked marriage to a wealthy playboy, Catriona’s husband is
killed. But rather than reaping the rewards as a rich widow, she’s suddenly
catapulted into a murder mystery that must be solved if she’s to walk away with
her life and freedom intact. Ripe with vivid detail, Moral keeps the reader
wondering “who dunnit” throughout it’s pages.

Even our most difficult moments bring us gifts. And so life may call upon us to be a bit "philosophical" now and then; to embrace the "low's" with the "high's."
The trick, of course, is gratitude. Therein will you find both your peace and your joy.

Awesome review for Emilio Iasiello's Why People Do What They Do
Awesome
review for Emilio Iasiello's Why
People Do What They Do
I
love reading Short Stories, and this collection by Emilio Iasiello, is a lucid
and penetrable read. From the opening "Sharks" story, I was
immediately pulled into the character's psyche because of Iasiello's crisp and
vivid language, and the terrible phobias that lurk within all of us. Having a
childhood fear of water, I immediately identified with the central character's
plight. By the end of reading the short, I felt I was literally swimming with
sharks, which is a metaphor for so many of our human fears. The collection of
stories are told in the first person, from a variety of characters, all of whom
are battling their inner demons. Isaiello opens the dark cupboard of human
guilt and fear with his collection of short stories that will remain in your
consciousness long after reading.

A South
Georgia murder mystery that spans both past and present, across racial divides
ever present in Southern heritage. There
is nothing that better describes the legal system in the South. The characters are so well described that
they are probably still alive and well way down south.

Aberration by Lisa Regan is an A+
Aberration by Lisa
Regan is an A+
“A departure
from what is normal, or expected. One that is unwelcome.”
Aberration. The definition truly describes this book regarding behavioral
science used to catch an extraordinarily evil killer. The female agent
that brings him down has her own set of problems. As they intertwine,
things get really, really bad.

If you like a good old fashion Southern tale, this is the book for you. This book has it all, protagonist, antagonist, and peacemaker, with many a Southern Belle thrown in for good measure, all which are described so well that you think you actually know them. A very enjoyable read, with a very satisfying ending.

Words from Pep Storms of life and the paradox of pain…
Words
from Pep
Storms
of life and the paradox of pain…
A cold fierce wind bit hard upon our
bodies. We looked for deliverance from its rage by heading downhill toward the
ice-covered river. Here, within the crevice of a boulder and drifting snow we
nested ourselves. Overhead air currents blasted through hemlock and leaf bare
poplar, giving voice to the storm’s wrath. Pressing with me into this cleft of
the rock was my hairy friend tail tucked tight, ears alert. Two species joined
in common need. Horizontal snow corkscrewed in the eddy of our shelter, falling
over man and dog like a gleaming blanket being tucked in by an invisible hand.
Wrapped in Earth Mother’s insulation, a warm presence began to envelop our
beings. A mysterious peace beyond understanding settled upon our sanctuary as
the chaos and frenzy continued. Fused with my companion in this serene state we
sat joyful amidst the riot and watched the vapors of our breath rise and swirl
out of sight. . . . . . Storms, mad hurricanes of pain, are inevitable. They
rise slowly or blindside us without warning taking our breath away. The pain
brought our way by these tempests is part of the privilege of existence, the
price of wisdom, the chisel shaping our souls. . . . . . My friend and I had
hoped to make it back to our cabin before it came upon us. Our plans and hopes
were not to be our lot. Yet, here in the midst of our distress, a retreat, both
physical and spiritual, brought us solace and peace. Here in the Cleft of the
Rock we found sanctuary. The Rock of our refuge gave us consolation and
weathered the trials with us. . . . . . Slowly the blanket thickened until it
seemed we had been consumed. But, to the contrary, we rested content, safe within
the storm. With the passing of time we emerged, man and dog, giving thanks for
the experience, knowing our lives were more complete because of it. My friend
has long passed on, but I feel someday, beyond the western door, we will meet
to recall the shaping of our souls on that cold day.

David,
Please tell Tom that one of your friends said that his book on Heroes of WWII is truly a great read, especially "There are no foxholes in the sky" and the typhoon story of 1942 in the Pacific---not to mention the Normandy landing and the B - 17 raids on Germany in daylight. I don' t see how those men kept their sanity. Also the Battle of the Bulge.

HOW TO USE LOCATIONS AND PROPS DRAMATICALLY IN THE STYLE OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK – BY TONY LEE MORAL
A grand review of Playing Mrs. Kingston by Tony Lee Moral!
I rarely find myself finishing a book in a short period of time,
but this book was very intriguing and swept me in and kept me interested until
the end. I have always been a fan of murder mysteries, but that love of
the genre also makes me a tough critic. If a story doesn't deliver,
then I am more than willing to set it aside and not finish. This book was
a pleasure because it delivered in content, story development, and pacing, all
of which are integral for the genre. I enjoy story settings that I am not
familiar with and learn about as the story goes on. This book paid off in
dividends in this aspect, the author demonstrating his expertise in the world
he writes about.

A fantastic "thank you" and review of The Man Called Brown Condor by Thomas E. Simmons!
A fantastic
"thank you" and review of The Man Called Brown Condor by
Thomas E. Simmons!
Dear
Tom:
Greetings
from Ohio. It was a great pleasure to read your wonderful book The Man Called Brown Condor. As an Ethiopian by
birth and a proud naturalized citizen of the United States, I found this book
to be a master piece of history. I learned a great deal about so many things
relevant to my own history as well as to the lives of my children: History of
racism and segregation in the U.S., history of the aviation industry globally,
history of my own forefathers and the battle with the Mussolini and fascist
Italians. Overall, what a master piece! While all these are pertinent to any
reader, to me every chapter had something to relate to my own life in a reverse
analogous way.
Born
in Addis Ababa from a former military telegraphist father who spent time in the
Korean War (relating to yours), I was trained as a veterinarian who practiced
in the remotest area in Southern Ethiopia, committed my life to serve the
people of Ethiopia initially, migrated to the U.S. in the mid-1990s and served
the U.S. in North Carolina and now in Ohio. I established a link back to home
in Ethiopia and eastern Africa and am currently leading one of the major
contemporary global issues—infectious diseases—via a Global One Health program
training young scientists in Ethiopia in a building capacity. All the ups and
downs I have been through. While by no means am I close to the extent of the
humble heroism Colonel John Robinson's exhibited, the book just reminds me
life's up and downs, the struggle and commitment for success.
This
has been a wonderful reading during the Christmas and New Year break. Thank
you, thank you, thank you. You are now my hero!!!!
Best
regards,
Wondwossen
