Fireflies in December
by Jennifer Erin Valent http://www.amazon.com/Fireflies-in-D...7205563&sr=1-1 $FREE Editorial Reviews From Booklist Little does anyone realize that simple Christian charity will inflame the bigots and hatemongers in this small Virginia town. Escalating episodes of horrific violence ensue, including sexual attacks directed at 13-year-old Jessilyn Lassiter, the novel’s narrator, after her white family takes in her black best friend, Gemma, when she is orphaned by a tragic fire. Winner of the Christian Writers Guild’s 2007 Operation First Novel contest, Valent has created a darkly evocative historical novel that boldly explores the divisive effects of unreasoning hatred, greed, and fear on a community already struggling with the economic and racial tensions caused by the Depression and exacerbated by the Ku Klux Klan. As these forces impact one family, childhood innocence is lost, but Valent’s characters also experience the affirmation of a deeper, more lasting faith. --Lynne Welch Review "When her best friend Gemma's parents are killed in a house fire, Jessilyn Lassiter's parents take the girl in. Trouble is, the year is 1932, Gemma is black, the Lassiters are white, and they live in a small Virginia town. Spunky Jessilyn is 13 years old, but her story will appeal to readers of all ages. Winner of the Christian Writers Guild's 2007 Operation First Novel contest, Valent's debut is both heartwarming and hand-wringing as it shows how one family endured the threats small and large of a prejudiced community while maintaining moral integrity. The cast of characters is rich. Jessilyn's mother wrestles with the social cost of challenging convention, her father is a dream dad and the neighbor's wisdom is as spicy as her cake. Jessilyn's romantic interest and penchant for trouble keep the tone light while the plot reminds readers of the evil that ordinary human beings are capable of doing, even in the name of righteousness. The book stares down violence and terror, making its affirmation of surprising goodness believable." --Publishers Weekly, December 1, 2008, starred review Little does anyone realize that simple Christian charity will inflame the bigots and hatemongers in this small Virginia town. Escalating episodes of horrific violence ensue, including sexual attacks directed at 13-year-old Jessilyn Lassiter, the novel's narrator, after her white family takes in her black best friend, Gemma, when she is orphaned by a tragic fire.

As these forces impact one family, childhood innocence is lost, but Valent's characters also experience the affirmation of a deeper, more lasting faith. --Booklist, December 1, 2008 “We’re proud of Jennifer, and you’re about to learn why. I envy your first look at this new talent. You won’t be disappointed.”--Jerry B. Jenkins, New York Times best-selling author and owner of the Christian Writers Guild “Jennifer Erin Valent’s debut novel is as sweet and salty as the South itself. With a keen eye for detail and a pitch-perfect ear for dialect, Valent reminds us that all is not what it seems on the surface and that angels come in many forms.”--Jan Watson, award-winning author of the Troublesome Creek series “Fireflies in December is an extraordinary first novel, a pure joy to read as Valent explores the emotions and confusion associated not only with coming of age, but with the greater challenge of having a friendship that’s a lonely light in a very dark time.”--Maureen Lang, author of The Oak Leaves |

Deadly Gamble: The First Charlie Parker Mystery (Charlie Parker Mystery Series)
by Connie Shelton http://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Gamble-...s=digital-text ~4 out of 5 stars, based on 6 reviews $0.99 Editorial Reviews From Booklist Albuquerque CPA Charlie Parker (female, despite the name) handles the business side of RJP Investigations while her brother, Ron, does the detecting. When Ron is out of town, however, Stacy North, who eloped with Charlie's fiance, Brad, 10 years earlier, comes calling, hoping to hire someone to find her missing Rolex watch. Charlie reluctantly takes the case and soon finds the watch in a pawn shop, where the thief, a man with whom Stacy had been having an affair, sold it. Soon the lover is dead, and Stacy is an obvious suspect. Charlie sticks with the case and finds herself involved with still more murder. This is a well-plotted debut mystery with a nice surprise ending and some excellent characterizations. Charlie, in particular, is slick, appealing, and nobody's fool--just what readers want in an amateur sleuth. Look forward to the next installment in what shapes up to be a promising series. Stuart Miller Review An accountant for a private investigation firm is unwittingly drawn into the drama surrounding an old friend's life when a search for a missing watch evolves into a murder mystery. Charlie finds the case increasingly complicated and beyond his control as events involve him in a dangerous ploy. -- Midwest Book Review |

By Reason of Insanity
by Randy Singer http://www.amazon.com/By-Reason-of-I...7205993&sr=1-1 $FREE Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Inspirational suspense novelist Singer (Directed Verdict) hooks readers from the opening courtroom scene of this tasty thriller, then spurs them through a fast trot across a storyline that just keeps delivering. Catherine O'Rourke is a seasoned reporter who covers trials for Norfolk, Virginia's The Tidewater Times. The latest sexual abuse case she covers hits a little too close to home, and she has a series of disturbing "visions" that suggest first-hand details of the crimes. Soon she finds herself on trial as the "Avenger," a Bible-quoting serial killer. Are her visions spiritual? Or does she have a split personality? She's unsure of her innocence or guilt-and so are her lawyers, including the likeable high-rolling Vegas attorney, Quinn Newberg, who is famous for his insanity defenses. Singer tosses out plot twists with abandon, shattering readers' assumptions but rarely straining their credulity. The characters' lives unpeel like onions, with layers of interesting revelations. Christian faith plays a role in the "visions" but never feels forced. Smooth point of view changes, snappy dialogue, interesting details and unexpected humor enrich the storyline. Like the best suspense novels, the character development is sophisticated enough that readers won't know the villain's identity until the final pages. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist How did crime reporter Catherine “Cat” O’Rourke wind up in prison? It starts with “visions” involving victims of a high-profile kidnapping, twin children adopted by the family of a well-connected defense attorney. In her first vision, Cat sees the children being executed. Nightmares? Maybe, but why do they occur when Cat is awake? She seems to know so much information about the missing children (and other grisly crimes) that she becomes the key suspect. Could Cat possibly have an alter ego committing these heinous acts? Enter defense attorney Quinn Newberg, who recently invoked the insanity defense to get his own sister acquitted for murder. Quinn decides this will be Cat’s defense as well, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. At the center of the heart-pounding action are the moral dilemmas that have become Singer’s stock-in-trade. In addition to scrutinizing the insanity defense from an ethical point of view, Singer offers similar appraisals of the death penalty and vigilante justice. This is inspirational fiction, but it isn’t didactic or preachy, and it’s an exciting thriller all on its own. --Mary Frances Wilkens |

The White Lady Murders
by Wendy Potocki http://www.amazon.com/The-White-Lady...7311727&sr=1-2 ~4.5 stars out of 5, based on 12 reviews $1.00 Product Description In a Malibu beach house, David Lynx struggles with writing with his latest tour de force – a book on magic. It’s a subject he knows nothing about. In a desperate attempt to understand, he decides to perform an ancient ritual not realizing that he will unwittingly open a door for a forty-year-old unsolved murder spree to start all over again. While The White Lady Murders is immersed in the supernatural, fans desiring a solid murder mystery will not be disappointed. At its core, The White Lady Murders offers an action-packed detective story replete with a hard-boiled, hard-nosed police officer named Robert Moran leading the charge. Moran is a veteran police officer who vividly remembers the original murders that occurred during The Summer of Blood. The string of vicious crimes terrorized the city and held its residents captive in the killer's steely grip. No one felt safe and now Moran desperately races to solve the mystery of who or what is behind the new wave of brutal killings to prevent The White Lady Murders from beginning again. The White Lady Murders is the book that will keep you guessing up until the very end! |

American Enigma: The End of the Presidency (The Rise of the One World Ruler)
by Sean Michael Hummle http://www.amazon.com/American-Enigm...7312572&sr=1-1 ~5 out of 5 stars, based on 7 reviews $1.00 (Paperback is $26.99 on amazon) Editorial Reviews Product Description Benjamin Orion, the first black President of the United States, goes on a historic, but curious journey to retrace the mysterious route that former President John F. Kennedy took during his fateful trip to Dallas, Texas that led to his assassination. He has picked the anniversary of the event to make a very public statement against his political, and literal, enemies. Three of his Secret Service Agents, John Arnold, Jonathan McKinley and Sarah Parker, have been recruited to help him solve the murders of two of his personal friends, who have been murdered in very strange, and mysterious ways, pointing to the direct involvement of some form of anarchists, and a singular, and powerful branch of the Freemasons. Tracing the steps of other famous Presidential assassinations, Jonathan works out the riddle that has been left beside the dead body of one murder victim, along with the small, metallic disks that are left at both murders, containing a long lost Masonic symbol, dating back to the Roman era. This work of fiction, contains many, many Google searches for its historic materials, character names, and true to life dates, to weave a tale of mystery, intrigue, religious theory, and Masonic truth to reveal a thread that once pulled, unravels the whole of American history, including its founding Fathers, their roles in Freemasonry, and the modern Masonic Lodges involvement in anarchistic activities. Written by a Freemason, this work is laced with Masonic history and speculation, that leads the reader to the correct conclusion that, the United States of America was never intended to be the land of the free, and the home of the brave, according to modern Masonic teachings and principles, but that it was founded to support the land of the free, and the home of the brave Freemasons, and their singular brand of patriotism that was so alive in people like Washington, Franklin, Revere, and so many others. Read how America was founded by Freemasons, for Freemasons, but how it has all gone so wrong in the modern Lodges, that has led many to suspect them of evil, even Satanic deeds. Follow the progression of our characters from modern heroes, to unwilling participants in a worldwide conspiracy that should never have taken place. Follow the story, fictional in its context, with its unlikely conclusions, that we may well be experiencing the fulfillment of prophecies that are no more true, but which amalgamate into what are called "emergence theories", with each one of us contributing in our own small, but highly significant way, that will ultimately lead to the rise of the one world ruler, possibly in the year 2012. The reader will find that there is a message hidden inside the text, that relates to our current government and its leaders. The clue to the message is found in Chapter 20. This book was published on January 20, 2009 which is already known as a very significant date in modern American history, and which may well become a very significant date in world history, and perhaps even in prophetic symbolism, as well. This is the first book in a three part series. Come join us for the ride of a lifetime. Read more about the series of books on www.americanenigma.com About the Author A modern Freemason, author and scribe. He is a member of all but one of the highest honorary societies within Freemasonry and writes from personal experiences, not cultural and mythical superstitions concerning historical Freemasonry and Biblical theology. He holds degrees in Engineering Technology, MBA, and Theology. His personal experiences as a former college professor, industry consultant, and manufacturing business owner, give him real world experiences to draw from. |

Wet Desert, a Novel
by Gary Hansen http://www.amazon.com/Wet-Desert-a-N...7314589&sr=1-1 5 out of 5 stars, based on 18 reviews $0.99 (the paperback is $10.17 on amazon) Editorial Reviews Review Wet Desert is a terrific read. Shocking, tense, exhilarating. I could not put it down! --DAVID HOWARD, screenwriter of the hit movie Galaxy Quest. [...]Wet Desert is an extaordinary book. It reminded me a great deal of reading a Tom Clancy novel with its introduction of various aspects of the story, but it is faster paced and the device doesn t slow down the story. But like Clancy, the author welds together diverse story lines and characters into one highly suspenseful tale that has the reader reluctant to miss a word or to set the book down. --Meridian Magazine Wet Desert is an extaordinary book. It reminded me a great deal of reading a Tom Clancy novel with its introduction of various aspects of the story, but it is faster paced and the device doesn t slow down the story. But like Clancy, the author welds together diverse story lines and characters into one highly suspenseful tale that has the reader reluctant to miss a word or to set the book down. --Meridian Magazine Product Description Grant Stevens, a mid-level manager for the Bureau of Reclamation, only wanted to build dams. He never imagined he would be swept into a desperate race against an environmental terrorist bent on restoring the Colorado River by blowing up the dams. Left temporarily in charge of the Bureau, Grant must react when the first dam is attacked. He faces the unthinkable task of mitigating the massive flood roaring down the Colorado. The flood will eventually threaten the mighty Hoover Dam, and if Hoover fails, the other dams downstream will fall like dominos. Working with the FBI, Grant uses his engineering skills, river knowledge, and plenty of gut instinct in an attempt to outmaneuver the terrorist. The chase will lead all the way downstream to the Gulf of California in a cat and mouse game where the stakes are high and the potential for destruction is enormous. Whitney Award Finalist. Compared to Tom Clancey by Meridian Magazine. |
