Summary of The Osgoode Trilogy. It is about one man, Harry Jenkins, a lawyer who, as he battles murder and fraud, finds, to his surprise, compassion and love. Questions are asked and the law searches for answers.

Can we ever trust what appears on the surface? If we delve deeper, what dark acts and motives will we find? Is everyone’s conduct in question? Can love and forgiveness be found amidst fraud and deceit? In a profession where suspicion and cynicism seem essential tools of the trade, can a person grow in compassion and understanding? This trilogy will drive you through the darkest corridors of power and the most evil machinations of the psyche into the light of common decency.

The Trilogy of Remembrance [literary suspense] http://remembrancetrilogy.com Plus Blog 1. The Drawing Lesson. The descent of a great artist in search of his muse.

Summary of The Trilogy of Remembrance.

Some books give you answers about life—or at least they try. The Remembrance Trilogy asks lots of questions— big ones—about the exciting, glorious mystery of life. Join Alexander Wainwright, Britain’s finest landscape painter, on his journey and you may find your own questions and answers. He will surprise, enchant and entertain you in his quest for his answers.

Although he may falter, wonder and doubt, he never stops searching. For what greater mystery can there be than the mystery of life?

In The Drawing Lesson, Alexander is beset with questions. He believes the world a marvelous place filled with magical secrets. His nemesis, Rinaldo, a conceptual artist, fervently believes that the universe is random, chaotic and meaningless. You will follow Alex from London to Venice and New York in search of his muse. His nemesis awaits him in New York.

In The Fate of Pryde, you will meet the great patron of the arts, Jonathan Pryde, who raises the question—how can the very best and the very worst of mankind thrive in one human breast?

Kitty Kroger author of Dancing with Mao and Miguel A love story against the backdrop of radical politics in 1970s New Jersey. kittykroger.com (You can read the first chapter there.)

Also find on Facebook, Twitter GoodReads, Shelfari Dancing with Mao and Miguel is a love story set against the backdrop of radical politics in 1970s New Jersey.

At her copper refinery workplace, Jenny falls head over heels in love with Miguel, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, who participated in the revolution there in 1965 against the dictator Trujillo. Jenny belongs to a Maoist collective which believes that a socialist revolution will occur within ten years in the U.S. The collective sends its members into factories to organize the proletariat, which is to lead the coming revolution. Jenny is torn by political doubts, not about socialism as a goal but about the dogmatism and strategy of the collective. These doubts, combined with her soon-to-become devastating relationship with Miguel and her long-standing terror of intimacy and sexuality, threaten to destroy her unless she can break through them all to find her own path.

Here’s what readers are saying. They like it because it's suspenseful, deals with a young woman's struggle to find her identity, has two love interests, is well written with some literary elements, links the political with the personal, has scenes from the Dominican Revolution of 1965, has a character who is a Dominican immigrant, and covers a number of issues that we can relate to.

My next project is translating some diaries written in Berlin during Nazi Germany by a late friend, to see if they are publishable. Also writing and polishing some short stories. Have a novel in mind but don't know yet. Have to flesh it out.

** Accolades? Awards? Special Reviews? Recognition? - “Little Shepherd by Cheryl C. Malandrinos is a fresh rendition of the familiar story of the angels appearing to the shepherds in the field and announcing the birth of the Savior. The unique slant to this particular retelling of the scriptural story is that the reader sees the event through the eyes of a little shepherd boy, tending his first-ever flock of sheep. As a grandmother, I would be delighted to read this story to my grandchildren. As such, I recommend it to parents/grandparents/ teachers everywhere who wish to bring this passage of scripture to life for impressionable young hearts to understand”.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/

Rough Patch~Twisted Fate is about success, failure, dreams and disappointments, triumph and tragedy and ultimately, about the love of the heart of a woman for her children and the stolen identity of a young man who discovers what he truly values as he rebuilds his life. It's a page turner just as much as the title is capturing and the story is full of surprises. Fraud and stealing someone's identity is a tough one to recover from but its possible. It tells the life story of an abused woman (Gerri) who fights to give stability to her children and a young girl (Frances) who takes on more than she bargain for after an unexpected encounter with a murderer. This is a true page turner and an eye opener. You will develop a strong connection with each character that you wanted to love the one you identified with and hate the stand out villain. ** Accolades?

The acclaimed fantasy series comes together in one epic saga. Do you know what horrors lie beyond these pages? Costa Calabrese has just uncovered the truth about his past. Some truths should never be revealed.

When you learn you’re the son of the worlds foremost and feared hunter of demons, life’s rules inevitably change. Now Costa has been chosen to walk in his famed father's footsteps and take up the role his bloodline demands of him...whether he wants to or not. He is a killer of killers, laying waste to the scourge of evil that threatens the existence of mankind. He is the chosen one. He is the DEMON HUNTER. “Vespia's DEMON HUNTER: THE CHOSEN ONE turned out to be more like a classic re-telling of Conan with a bit of Doug Clegg's "Priest of Blood" series thrown in.Vespia's tale of a 16 year-old hunter named Costa Calabrese is chock-full of action, demons, shapeshifters, and vampires (who are thankfully vicious bloodsuckers, NOT "Twilight-ish" cry babies). What follows is standard sword & sorcery fare, although Vespia's fine writing keeps the pages flipping (or scrolling, considering this is an e-book)”.- NICK CATO, Author of “Don of the Dead” “This novel had a unique taste, a mixture between The Odyssey and Gulliver’s Travels. I thoroughly enjoyed reading each word, each blow, and each reaction. Costa and the people he meet during his journey help him to grow and balance the demons inside him and outside. It’s a great fantasy novel for anyone who wanted to be a hero, who knew there was something inside them, and who never knew they needed help all along.” - BITTEN

BY BOOKS “For fans of dark fantasy, this book is a must read. It has all the qualities dark fiction readers could want: adventure; mystery; demons; werewolves; vampires and more. A truly good, old fashioned legend and lore adventure novel that leaves readers thirsting for the sequel.” - WRITING TO BE READ “Loved it! Your writing reminded me of Stephen Kings last book. The dead rising on the battered ship gave the same eerie horrific chills and thrills as the dead things on the ancient ship off Duma Key. From Chapter Five on, the fast pace had me totally mesmerized. Like you wrote to explore the love phenomenon in a horror novel surprised me by the way it increased the depth of my characters. And it truly did. Costa had to confront all those physical demons as well as his own psychological demons. And he did! High adventure, steamy love affair, deception,demons, vampires werewolves, zombies and even Satan himself. Thanks for the exciting ride!” Lynne Tierney, Author of Going to Extremes “Ms. Vespia makes it all work out in the end and you see a few unexpected twists that leave you going whoa!

WHAT and scrambling to flip the pages to see what happens next. The secondary characters keep the story flowing nicely and I enjoyed the way Costa grows in this book as a person as he comes to terms of his heritage, his feelings and more. SEEK & DESTROY is a wonderful adventure that will satisfy those who enjoy

Jill Warren author of Bizzy Bee and the Flowers Diversity plus acceptance equals cooperation. www.outskirtspress.com/bizzybeeandtheflowers Bizzy Bee and the Flowers illustrates for young children the life of bumblebees and the important work they do each day. As Bizzy hatches from his cocoon and strikes out on his own, readers learn about pollination and why it matters to every living thing in our world.

Throughout the story, the title character illustrates how a determined attitude and accepting nature can turn unexpected obstacles to ultimate success. Although a proud sunflower, a timid dandelion, and a cautious rosebush try to throw Bizzy off the track, his sense of purpose carries him forward.

Bizzy Bee and the Flowers also demonstrates that although we are all unique in our own ways, we are also worthy of kindness and understanding. The gentle daisy at the end of Bizzy’s journey possesses a warmth and inner strength that allows her to reveal her authentic self to the exhausted bumblebee. As the sun goes down at the end of a long day, Bizzy falls asleep wrapped in her welcoming petals.

Readers are raving about the illustrations that accompany the story and bring it to life. As the follow-up to last years "Abe's Lucky Day", parents report, "Finally a new 'favorite story' for my child...thank you!" Children are more sophisticated readers/listeners today, and parents are looking for books to share with them that have a message. "Bizzy Bee and the Flowers" is a story that parents and children can talk about together. It is also a story that 'grows' with a child...the young listener will be captivated by the colorful artwork and simple narrative describing Bizzy and the place bumblebees have in our world. As the child grows, they begin to see that an attitude of determination helps propel Bizzy forward despite the setbacks he experiences throughout the story.

The most mature of readers will find that the characters Bizzy meets during his first day in the world remind them of people in their own lives, and help them to see that kindness and understanding lead to cooperation.

Find on Facebook, LinkedIn, GoodReads Summary of book / book series: Erling Skjalgsson, a Norse chieftain, gives up his lands and power rather than do a shameful deed and decides to move west. His priest, the Irishman Father Ailill, agrees to carry a dangerous talisman, the Eye of Odin, along, in the hope of helping Erling with the clairvoyance it grants. Their plan is to sail to Greenland, but storms and supernatural forces take them far off course, testing their courage and faith.

Hunter Baker, award-winning author of The End of Secularism, writes: "I am a huge Lars Walker fan. This guy knows how to spin a yarn. If you like your fantasy books historical and thoughtful, Lars' work is waiting for you like an unexplored country. I burned through all of his books before West Oversea came out. When it finally arrived, I tore through it in record speed. I can't put his stuff down. Wish I had three more at the ready."

Readers praise the meticulous research underlying these books, along with the multi-dimensional characters and the dramatic story.

As America changes and his family disintegrates, he struggles to understand love, grace, and the goodness of God. My book has been highly praised by Prof. Gene Edward Veith, author of Family Vocation, and Dr. Hunter Baker, author of The End of Secularism.

Brenda Duffey author of The Great Law of Peace http://angelbandproductions.com

New book calls upon the nation to make peace with God, the earth, and all mankind Florence, OR – (Release Date TBD) – In this age of technological advancement, do superpower nations really need to enhance their defense systems in preparation of a constantly impending war? Would it not be better to settle all our differences and make peace with everyone? Author Brenda Duffey explores the concept of peace and the many battles fought over land, pride, and religion in a book that serves as wake-up call for all: The Peacemaker.

A tale spanning centuries and a wealth of historical facts, The Peacemaker takes readers through time, through the history of the United States of America and the events that made it the great nation it is today. From the treaty of the Indians to the colonization of the New Land, from the evolution of a country to the outcome of a myriad of races growing to become one, this book presents a story of love and hope.

Delve into the rich history of a nation and its mission to make peace with God, with the earth, and its fellowmen.

According to Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are The Peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.

Brenda Duffey was born in Jefferson County, Kentucky. She came from a typically large Southern family that was raised on Kentucky fried chicken and conservative Bible Belt philosophy. She received her BA degree in 1967 from a small Baptist college that is now part of the University of Louisville. In 1986, she received her MSW from the Kent School of Social Work at the University of Louisville. Part of the simple, homespun philosophy espoused by her father were hard work and “pulling yourself up by the bootstraps” through education. That is why she decided to enter the field of public education after receiving her BA with endorsements in history and English.

Ms. Duffey has spent over twenty-five years in the classroom in a variety of educational settings in many states including Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, New Mexico, and Oregon. Her focus was always on helping students from diverse ethnic groups and economic status attain competence in English communication skills as well as understand themselves and their connection to American society through understanding their past and their collective heritage. Ms. Duffey retired from teaching in 2003. At that time, she was teaching at a correctional facility for adjudicated males in Oregon. The idea for The Peacemaker originated in 1997 when she was teaching a course in Native American history at Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon.

Ms. Duffey now resides in her home on “God’s little half acre” in Florence, Oregon, with her cat, Babs. She has two biological daughters, who live in Southern California, and one adopted daughter with her three grandchildren, who lives in Louisville, Kentucky.

Anna Kashina author of The Princess of Dhagabad, Book One in The Spirits of the Ancient Sands series A romantic fantasy set in the world inspired by the tales of the Arabian Nights www.annakashina.com, www.dragonwellpublishing.com, blog.annakashina.com Facebook a(Anna Kashina) and Twitter (@akashina) LinkedIn and GoodReads, Authors Den. When, on the day of her age-coming, the princess opens a mysterious bronze bottle—a gift from her grandmother—she has no idea that she is about to unleash a power older than the world itself. Worse, she is not prepared for the bearer of this power to be a handsome man whose intense gray eyes pierce her very soul.

Hasan, her new slave, is immeasurably wiser and stronger than anyone she has ever heard of, and he is now hers to command—if she can handle him, that is.

Sensuous and delightfully intelligent, The Princess of Dhagabad is the first book in a trilogy by a talented new author.

This is an excellent book by a very promising new writer, with a lot of originality, an exciting story, a well realized background, and vivid writing.

—Poul Anderson Behind its glittering Arabian Nights façade, The Princess of Dhagabad is an intelligent, even philosophical, first novel that marks the author as someone to watch. —Harry Turtledove The novel's lyrical language; authentic conjuring of the sights, scents, and trappings of Arabian lore and culture; and engaging characterizations add up to one truly compelling coming-of-age fantasy.

-- Booklist …a fine recasting of Arabian Nights material into a fable for our times.

---Locus …hauntingly vivid.

Not believing the possibility of having it all, they struggle to believe that they, the “least of these”, rightfully deserve a lifetime of love and happiness-- Especially with how graphically and unconventionally they choose to express themselves.

Each of the characters comes to realize how tortured their lives have become. Violent images, dreams, and actions occur as they spiral downward into their dark lives. As they each reach a personal impasse, they must decide how they will make their lives better. In the process, they must also mend broken intimate relationships with the ones they love.

This erotic, edgy tale describes and embraces elements of s/M lifestyle. Their personal proclivities are not condemned.

If a fish does not have fins, it becomes lifeless and sinks helplessly to the bottom of the water.

Humans are exactly the same way."

"Great read April 18, 2012 By queenmommy Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written and I was really interested in the outcome of the characters.

It was unlike any book I have ever read because it had a real message which at times I felt seemed out of place but it really was relevant to the development of the characters. I'm looking forward to the next book and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic fiction."

While two Japanese-American families endure the wake of Pearl Harbor’s wrath, each member must face the most painful question of their life: Where does their loyalty stand? Told in five parts, this novel unravels the challenges between two unlikely Nisei friends, Jim and Russell, into adulthood during the Second World War. As restrictions are imposed, (even in the safe, rural community of Bainbridge Island,) as harassments escalate, (including the F.B.I. invading their homes and deporting their fathers to Montana for espionage trials,) the fated day arrives: evacuation of all Japanese civilians. Rounded up like cattle, tagged, they are hauled to the fringes of Death Valley: Manzanar. Together they must survive racism, gang violence, and the harsh elements of the environment. Together they must prove their loyalty, especially after a tragic riot on the eve of Pearl Harbor's anniversary. While Russell enlists in a segregated army, becoming part of one the most decorated units in U.S. history, Jim is sent to a different camp for the "No-No" boys: those who are marked disloyal. Removed from their families, they are forced to reevaluate their identities and discover, most importantly, what it means to forgive.

"Worth the read! The author did a great job at drawing you into the boys and their family's situation, making you feel their pain and suffering, as well as the rest of the Japanese community. The growth you see in the characters really makes it so that you can connect with them." Tiffany L. Davis, Amazon Reviewer "Highly recommend. If you want to read a believable book about what life was like for the Japanese during WWII then look no further, you found it. I think Jim wrote it best. 'Exiled, shamed and damned like bastards, we stare through these barbed wire fences, our eyes. our eyes betrayed by this world; our eyes behind belligerence.'" Sue in CT, Amazon Reviewer "The book is a long read (so be prepared). And while on the surface it seems to be about the depressing trials the Japanese go through, there is an underlying message of hope. Hope of survival. Hope of acknowledgement.

Hope of freedom. Hope that shows that even during the darkest hour, people can survive, find love, and rise above." Overflowing Bookshelves Blog http://overflowingbookshelves.com/eyes-behind-belligerence-by-k-pkollenborn/ "I have to say the author did a wonderful job on researching the book before writing it.I just touch on a bit of the subject contained in this book.

Carolyn Huebner Rankin author of Falling Through Ice: A true story After years of therapy and a lifetime of prayer. . . God has finally given Carolyn Huebner Rankin peace of mind and the courage to speak out. www.fallingthroughice.com www.RankinFamilyMinistries.org Find Carolyn Hubner Rankin on Facebook www.crossoverpublications.com ** Attach a picture of you (head shot) - you can take it with your cell phone and send it. You might have a picture already. Attached ** Summary of book / book series Excerpt from Chapter 1: Shivering, Carolyn came awake slowly and found herself lying on a chilly hardwood floor. She was in a tiny room about the size of her mommy’s kitchen pantry and eerie shadows danced over the walls, created by a fading sunlight that barely managed to penetrate the filthy window above her. A lumpy mattress was thrown into the middle of the room.

Carolyn had never been so hungry in her life, but her stomach felt all topsy-turvy like when she took her first roller coaster ride. Her mouth tasted nasty. She tried to run her tongue over her dry lips, but it was too fat and stuck to the roof of her mouth. Carolyn rubbed her eyes groggily and squinted trying to see through the creeping darkness.

It was then that she noticed the heavy chain wrapped tightly around her left ankle and connected to an old metal radiator like the one Grandma Rankin had in the basement of her farmhouse. Frowning, she touched the chain and tried to understand why it was there. She wriggled her foot and tried to slip her thumb between the chain and her ankle, but a lock firmly secured it. They had given her enough chain to walk a little, but that was all. Why would someone want to lock her up? She jerked at the chain angrily and pain shot up her leg. Her eyes filled with tears.

Falling Through Ice is gripping narrative non-fiction that will make an impact on everyone who reads it. The writing is flawless, and based on my twenty years of experience in child welfare, I can say with assurance that the author's narrative rings true. This is one of the most inspirational reads I've come across in years because it was so gut-wrenchingly honest.

It was not sanitized to protect the reader, and as a result this book has the potential to truly change lives.

The authors bring the reader through the valley and showed how God used everything that happened for the greater good. Because Carolyn dealt with her painful past rather than denying it or stuffing her problems, she was able to truly heal over time.

This is a very healthy and Biblical approach to healing. I highly recommend it.— Lynn Suttton A non-fiction book written like a gripping novel. From the prologue I could not put this book down. It is the most disturbing book I have ever loved. I have lost sleep thinking about the terrifying events that are so graphically described; only to wake up in the morning angry and sad. The authors beautifully grip readers from the beginning, pull them through every painful minute and make them look at the ugly reality called "child abuse".

It brought me to tears, but more than anything, this book has healing properties and offers hope. I am appreciative that Carolyn bravely shared her story with Ronni Hoessli. I have purchased multiple copies to share with some special people who need healing. Every judge, law enforcement officer, social worker, and

Davee Jones author of Finless "Imagine the erotic intensity of Black Swan meets Fifty Shades of Grey" http://finless.blogspot.com/ Also on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, GoodReads Book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

http://store.secretcravingspublishing.com/ http://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-finless-771515-147.html "Sarah, Nathaniel, and Lily resist unconditional love as they feed primal desires. Not believing the possibility of having it all, they struggle to believe that they, the “least of these�, rightfully deserve a lifetime of love and happiness-- Especially with how graphically and unconventionally they choose to express themselves.

Each of the characters comes to realize how tortured their lives have become. Violent images, dreams, and actions occur as they spiral downward into their dark lives. As they each reach a personal impasse, they must decide how they will make their lives better. In the process, they must also mend broken intimate relationships with the ones they love.

This erotic, edgy tale describes and embraces elements of s/M lifestyle. Their personal proclivities are not condemned.

If a fish does not have fins, it becomes lifeless and sinks helplessly to the bottom of the water.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written and I was really interested in the outcome of the characters.

It was unlike any book I have ever read because it had a real message which at times I felt seemed out of place but it really was relevant to the development of the characters. I'm looking forward to the next book and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic fiction."

2012 my publisher, SCP released my novella, On Ellicott Street. It is available everywhere Finless is for sale.

Yes, I have a novella set for release this summer entitled, Ruby's Dance: Thank You Mae West. I also have the sequel for Finless--Finless Too-- in progress and a thriller/paranormal novel as well as a cowboy themed romance novel.

“Every kid has problems. Every kid has even more problems when they move to a new home. But when a kid with problems moves to a new home that has a Demon living inside it—look out! Etta’s world is about to spin out of control when she encounters her new roommate—and Rahovart, that ancient trickster, is in for a few surprises too. So don’t mind all the crashing and rumbling; that’s just the normal noise Angels and Demons make when they’re fighting an epic war in the attic. One thing’s for sure: Etta and Rahovart will have to go through Hell to Heaven and back again before that old Victorian home in Quantico Town finally quiets down… ”

4.0 out of 5 stars Can A Demon Find Redemption?, February 2, 2012 By Sundee M. Miles "I am an eclectic book and mu... (Flat Rock, MI, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: The Demon Side (The Demon Side Series) (Kindle Edition) First person perspective from a demon's point of view. I found this a wonderful story.

The character's of the demon Ra and Etta, Etta's parents, the demon Alastor, and the arch angels were well written. Ra did some truly horrific things, but the author handled the writing of him in such a way that the reader is empathetic and interested instead of repulsed. Etta might have the appearance of a teen girl, but she's as strong and good as they come. Is she strong enough to convince Ra that there is good in him?

The angel/demon world that Heaven Eldeen created was fascinating. The intricacies were revealed a little at a time so as not to be pedantic reading. Her exploration into the demon side of things before later showing us the angelic side was very much part of the unraveling of the plot. The plot was very well written with the mystery of why Etta was drawing demonic attention, why Ra had no memories beyond being left alone on earth, and lastly what the antagonism beyond the obvious was between he and Michael the angel. The final great battle was thrilling and the denouement was fitting.

Leonora Pruner author of In the Aerie of the Wolf Facebook, LinkedIn Amazon A mid-18th century romance set in Yorkshire England demonstrating that appearances may blur the grandeur of Truth, and, while “little” actions can have a horrendous impact forgiveness is possible.

The grant of a large marriage settlement convinces Anne Crofton’s parents to send her to marry Lord Wolverton in a remote Yorkshire castle near the Devil’s Drop waterfall. Denied her hopes to wed the local vicar, silver-haired Anne journeyed north under the care of Old Samson, her fiancée’s hunchbacked, trusted servant. Although she finally met her future husband in a dim, moonlit garden, their wedding plans were interrupted by the poisoning of the vicar who was to perform the ceremony.

While a replacement cleric is sought, Old Samson shows Anne the secret passages in the castle and she survives an attempt on her life. The new vicar is the one from Anne’s home. In the garden, cloaked by darkness, Wolverton tells Anne he is hideous and gallantly offers Anne escape from the marriage but, drawn to him, she refuses. He then makes a strange request: “I prefer you not look at me any time, but especially not this night at our wedding.” Anne agrees, but later, tenderly gains permission and looks directly at him without flinching.

The attempts of Wolverton’s would-be usurper brother to thwart the marriage and prevent the possible birth of an heir culminates in a duel on the castle’s roof.

Despite her husband’s disfigurement, Anne and Wolverton’s marriage flourishes, even as Anne secretly indulges her girlhood affection for another. While struggling between her feelings for both, Anne naively betrays her husband’s fragile trust. They must come to face their errors and forgive each other in love.

“In the Aerie of the Wolf” was nominated for the 2012 Christian Small Publisher Association’s Book of the Year Award. However, one of the other five nominees won the award.
