The Sentinels: Fortunes of War by Gordon Zuckerman

Book Description
In this riveting amalgam of political intrigue, poignant romance, and bare-knuckled action, six friends risk everything to thwart an international Nazi conspiracy.

In the financial devastation of the 1930s, a greedy, power-hungry group of German industrialists plot to usher in the National Socialist Party in order to rearm Germany and reap the financial rewards. Thus rises Hitler. With Hitler in power, the Six Sentinels, graduates of an elite American doctoral program, uncover the industrialists' plan to hoard hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal war profits. Using their financial and familial connections around the globe, they work to foil the machinations of the financiers of the Third Reich. In a daring strategy of Robin Hood style thievery, the sentinels put their lives on the line to serve justice--and thus become embroiled in a dangerous and violent international conspiracy.

A gripping story that escalates at every turn, The Sentinels: Fortunes of War is the first in a series that follows the Six Sentinels as they continue to alter the course of history.

My thoughts
Another historical novel with a twist: “The Sentinels: Fortunes of War” by Gordon Zuckerman Is set in WWII where six economics doctoral students think they can explain and predict the rise and fall of world powers. What they do discover is that German industrialists are pushing Europe towards war so that they can make millions of dollars in illegal war profits. The Sentinels devise a plan to stop this from happening, and visa versa. A little too detailed in the explanation of the inner workings of banking industry, but truly an interesting concept and thrilling story.

The Scare Crow by Michael Connelly

Book Description
Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career.

He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.

Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar--and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's.

My thoughts
I like a good thriller and mystery. “The Scare Crow” is a good thriller, but not so much a mystery as the villain (a psychopathic killer) is revealed early on in the novel. Michael Connelly has written an intense novel and mentions The Poet (which I thought was one of his best). He also brings back FBI Agent Rachel Walling and Jack McEvoy whom both appeared in “The Poet”. I haven’t read many of Connelly’s books and enjoyed the internet security, hacking and identity theft aspect of the story. Make you wonder. He is a fine author and is detailed in his writing. It drew me into the story: a good escapist novel.

Hollywood Is Like High School With Money by Zoey Dean

Book Description
Twenty-four-year old Taylor Henning has just landed her dream job as an assistant at a major movie studio. But when her catty coworkers trick her into almost getting fired, she realizes that the old saying "Hollywood is like school with money" just may be true. The thing is, Taylor wasn't exactly a social butterfly in high school-how is she supposed to do any better the second time around?

That's when she meets her boss's popular sixteen-year-old daughter Quinn, and has an epiphany: maybe this teenager can teach her how to use her queen bee tactics to succeed in the Hollywood popularity contest. Quinn comes up with a plan to teach Taylor one lesson a week-everything from "Fake it 'til you make it" to "It's *never* your fault"--and soon Taylor finds herself winning the war against rival assistant Kylie. Until, that is, she's directed to steal Kylie's boyfriend, and something happens that's not in the game plan: Taylor falls for the guy. Now she must do the impossible-- harness her inner mean girl while staying true to herself.

My thoughts
“Hollywood is Like High School with Money” by Zoey Dean is a charming story about trying to break into the film business and staying there without getting stabbed in the back. Again, another story about Hollywood I had to read; but this time from the viewpoint of an assistant (the lowest of the lowest in that world). This one is funny and quirky and an easy read. Certainly, a good book to escape to the beach with!

Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich

Book Description
The next Stephanie Plum novel, in which complications arise, loyalties are tested, cliffhangers are resolved, and donuts are eaten.

My thoughts
After fourteen novels and a few novellas of the Stephanie Plum escapades, I think Janet Evanovich has run out exciting new stories for this character. “Finger Lickin’ Fifteen” was not finger-licking good. I accidently came across the Series of books when I needed to listen to something when driving 90 minutes to work each day. I enjoyed the books and found myself wanting more. But now, although, I was looking forward to this book, it is the same old stuff; nothing new and the characters and situations are tired.

The Texicans by Nina Vida

Book Description
When cholera strikes San Antonio in 1843, Aurelia Ruiz discovers that she might have the power to heal-and also to curse. Meanwhile, Joseph Kimmel, a schoolteacher in Missouri and the son of a Polish Jew, learns of his brother's death in San Antonio and sets off for Texas. On his way, a runaway slave steals his horse. After being rescued by Henry Castro, a man who is importing immigrants to populate his planned city, Castroville, Joseph agrees to marry a young Alsatian girl to save her from a Comanche chief who has demanded her. Then Joseph encounters Aurelia and becomes enamored with her.

Comanches, Tonkaways, Mexican vaqueros, immigrant farmers, and runaway slaves all play a part in Joseph's rebirth as a rancher, but when a renegade band of Texas Rangers descends upon the ranch, everything changes.

My thoughts
Nina Vida’s “The Texicans” takes place around the time when Texas become the 28th state. I enjoy historical novels and Ms. Vida has created a blended cast of characters from different walks of life, all trying to make a way for themselves in the Lone Star state. The characters are well crafted and their stories captivating. You can the sense the anxiety of what is was like to live in such a vast frontier. I found this an interesting book.

This One is Mine by Maria Semple

Book Description
Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager husband, and her darling toddler, Dot. She has the perfect life--except that she's deeply unhappy. David expects the world of Violet but gives little of himself in return. When she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet comes alive, and soon she's risking everything for the chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are David's hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster savant who falls into her trap. For all their recklessness, Violet and Sally will discover that David and Jeremy have a few surprises of their own. THIS ONE IS MINE is a compassionate and wickedly funny satire about our need for more--and the often disastrous choices we make in the name of happiness.

My thoughts
I picked up “This One is Mine” by Maria Semple because I like the Hollywood background (wanting to move there when I was younger), but wasn’t prepared to read about rich but bored housewife Violet and Sally, whose only goal in life is too marry rich. The story goes back and forth with what each is doing; Violet thinking about having an affair and Sally conniving to hook and catch a newspaper columnist, soon to be television star. This was certainly a quirky novel and more than just chick lit.

The Wolves Keeper Legend by Sylvia Weber

Product Description
From the beginning of time, it seemed that rivalry between man and wolf was at the root of man’s dislike for the animal, discovered only too well by Sealgair. Was his fate forever to be condemned to isolation, to see terror and hate in the eyes of the ones he once loved? All he could see in his mind was the last picture of Awena’s beloved face, which he carried in his heart for all his life.

Was the only way out to discover the special secret held by the papyrus-pearl in the stone pot - what secrets could this hold? And which stone pot could keep that precious secret when there were so many of them?

Seanns’ quest to find the pearls and uncover the secret ended with tragic consequences, resulting in him not only discovering the truth of his birth and who his real mother and father were, but the realisation that his father lived among the wolves.

My thoughts
It is interesting to learn that when Sylvia Weber wrote “The Wolves Keep Legend’ she was only twelve, but only recently translated it from Portuguese to English and had it published. This fantasy novel comes with its own vocabulary of places and characters. It is a world of dreams, hopes, love, promises and truth. Since written as a child, you may think that it is a children’s book, but in reality the underlining message is that we are all searching for love and an ideal world.

A Subject of Color

Thanks to the latest technology and the ability to create on demand; a short black and white film that I co-wrote, produced and directed about 18 years ago is now available on Amazon. I cannot believe how easy it is now to get your stuff on the internet and out there. The film was originally shot on film then transferred to video. Unfortunately, the DVD is copied from the video. Looking back now, at a film career that never went far, I think about how I could have used that money elsewhere. It was a good experience, I must say. And now, a trip down memory lane….

Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange

Book Description
Amanda Grange, bestselling author of Mr. Darcy's Diary, gives us something completely new—a delightfully thrilling, paranormal Pride and Prejudice sequel, full of danger, darkness and deep romantic love…

Amanda Grange's style and wit bring readers back to Jane Austen's timeless storytelling, but always from a very unique and unusual perspective, and now Grange is back with an exciting and completely new take on Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

Mr. Darcy, Vampyre starts where Pride and Prejudice ends and introduces a dark family curse so perfectly that the result is a delightfully thrilling, spine-chilling, breathtaking read. A dark, poignant and visionary continuation of Austen's beloved story, this tale is full of danger, darkness and immortal love.

My thoughts
To be in love and married to a vampire without knowing it. This is the fate of Elizabeth Bennet. As they travel on their honeymoon to many exotic places in Europe, Elizabeth wonders why her husband won’t share her bed. Before she gives up on the marriage, things begin to happen and she learns more than she could ever expect. Amanda Grange’s story “Mr. Darcy, Vampyre” is truly and step back in time and you would almost think this is a natural progression from “Pride and Prejudice”. Fascinating tale!

Sassy by Gloria Mallette

Book Description
A successful romance novelist, Sassy is a woman looking to fulfill her own fantasy. When the man of her dreams step right out of the pages of her latest novel, Butterfly, Sassy falls madly in love with him. But what evil lies behind Norris Yoshito's beautiful eyes and sexy smile? And while Sassy has to take care of her favorite cousin, Bernard, who is dying of AIDS, is the man of Sassy's dream a serial killer of women who made the mistake of trusting him just as Sassy did, or is Norris Yoshito himself in danger from someone who wants him dead? Is Sassy's marriage a horrible mistake that will lead to her own death? You'll find out and you will be stunned.

My thoughts
What I thought would be a drama, has a little intrigue and a lot of mystery. I enjoyed “Sassy” by Gloria Mallette, maybe because I know of the areas she is writing about; maybe because I wanted to know if Norris was evil or just maybe because it was a goo book. I got the impression that this story may have been a little autobiographical (hopefully, not the killing part), and some parts were a little unbelievable, but Ms. Mallette kept this reader entertained. Certainly, a good summer read.

Hunter by Campbell Jeffrey

Book Description
Did the Australian government really bring known Nazi party members to Australia and protected them until their deaths? Having survived the horrors of the Eastern Front, Peter Fischer leaves post-war Germany behind and moves to Australia. 40 years later, Eric Messer is struggling to find his place at a new high school south of Perth. The two meet just before the Gulf War, sparking a strange friendship tainted by mistrust and half-truths, and complicated by a mysterious and overly friendly Austrian named Baum. Of Germany descent himself, Eric becomes fascinated by the men and the stories they tell. Are they possibly wanted Nazi war criminals?

My thoughts
Campbell Jeffreys’ book “Hunter” not only deals with the possibility of Australia hiding Nazis after WWII, but is also the story of a former German soldier and a young lonely Australian boy coming of age and the relationship they forge with one another. When depicting the war, he is detailed and graphic (the squeamish beware). Fast forward to the eighties and one sees what life has left for the elderly German living in a foreign country and the young boy just trying to fit in. I enjoyed this story and was stunned by the conclusion. I got to see a glimpse of what life may be like in another continent.

The Shack by William P. Young

Book Description
Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!

My thoughts
I had no idea when I picked up this book, that it was a spiritual story. I was intrigued by the abduction story and the father’s pain for the loss of his daughter. But that scene was just a small part of what the novel is about. William P. Young has written a unique story involving the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost and the transformation of a pained man and his quest for answers. I am not a religious person and probably would not have picked this book up, but am glad I did. “The Shack” is a great read for everyone, not just the truly religious. Did it make me want to go to church, no? But I helped me understand more about us as human beings and God. I am can not compare it to other novels of similar nature, but was truly moved.

La Bajada Lawyer by Jonathan Miller

Product Description
Santa Fe attorney Dan Shepard has made it to the top; unfortunately his girlfriend, Ophelia Paz, may have killed the governor s wife and dumped her in a ditch. And after Ophelia reveals the governor s dark secret, Dan would like to ditch Ophelia. Dan wants to help, but needs seductive attorney Luna Cruz to guide him. In the process he falls in love with Luna, putting the case at risk. Dan wonders how deep he must descend into political muck to save Ophelia, and will he take Luna down with him?

My thoughts
Jonathan Miller’s fifth book “La Bajada Lawyer” continues the legal adventures of Dan Shepard – The Rattlesnake lawyer. He writes with such detail that you almost feel like you are in the Southwest. I never knew that there was such a distinct difference between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I also don’t know how I came across this attorney turned writer’s books, but I am glad I did. These legal thrillers are enjoyable and top notch.

Color is Everything by Dan Batges

Product Description
For beginners to advanced artists who have been struggling with color, this remarkable new book explains and illustrates how to truly master the use of color. Written in cooperation with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Color Wheel Company, Color Is Everything is a must-read for any painter, art teacher or craft enthusiast who wants to capture color harmony in every painting, regardless of style or medium. It is written in a concise yet conversational manner and very easy to follow.
Author/artist Dan Bartges sums it up best: This book is designed with one purpose in mind: to show painters exactly how to master color. As a result, you will gain greater confidence, you will paint better pictures, and you will have a lot more fun painting.

The unusually high-quality book features more than 100 full-color illustrations, photographs and paintings by the author. Further, it clearly explains what great artists know about color that most painters don t and demonstrates with master works by famous artists such as Degas, Picasso, de Kooning, Sisley, Goya, Sargent and others.

My thoughts
As an artist, I found Dan Batges’s book “Color is Everything” to be quite educational and informative with color problems that I have experienced in the past. Explaining the use of the color wheel helps understand how to mix and complement the colors you want. I recommend this book highly for both the beginner and advanced artist who want to understand color schemes.

In My Heart by Ursula Hanks

Product Description
This story is based on factual events and is the piece of the author's memoir that captures the preponderance of her life's journey. The events impacted by her aging parents' challenges prompted reviewing her memories of the family's epic history, including their immigration to the United States. In the process, she dared the truth by looking at what really was in "her heart". The story weaves in an out of more recent, heartrending events such as the loss of her beloved father and her mother's progressive dementia, as they elicit memories about World War II events, the family's refugee experience, and "coming to America". Sprinkled throughout the story, she describes the personal pain of a failed marriage, the loss of a son, and a failed career. Outweighing life's painful moments, the delights of her rich and joyful family life are her fortress. The self-discovery of the kind of soul-searching it takes in order to move on in life resonates unmistakably.

My thoughts
“In My Heart” by Ursula Hanks in about dealing with elderly parents and rethinking one’s life. The story is filled with emotion and she is an excellent writer. I commend Ms. Hanks in sharing her life with us, but I thought it was somewhat short, therefore not fulfilling.

The Night Gardener by Geroge Pelecanos

Product Description
The haunting story of three cops; one good, one bad, one broken and the murder that reunites them in a showdown decades in the making. Gus Ramone is good police, a former Internal Affairs investigator now working homicide for the city’s Violent Crime branch. His new case involves the death of a local teenager named Asa, whose body has been found in a community garden. The murder unearths intense memories of a case Ramone worked as a patrol cop 20 years earlier, when he and his partner, Dan Doc Holiday, assisted a legendary detective named T.C. Cook. The series of murders, all involving local teenage victims, was never solved. In the years since, Holiday has left the force under a cloud of morals charges. Cook has retired, but he has never stopped agonizing about the Night Gardener killings. The new case draws the three men together, re-igniting the love, regret, and anger that once burned between them, and old ghosts walk once more as they try to lay to rest the monster who has stalked their dreams.

My thoughts
In reading “The Night Gardener” I thought it would be a murder mystery or thriller, but instead it is about the human condition. To begin, a murdered child is found in a garden twenty years ago and three cops are there. Jump to now, and a similar murder has taken place, which opens wounds for the three. Their lives are changed, yet they are still haunted. We come to learn about who these men are, what made them and how they get through their own lives. George Pelecanos has written an intense story of what is like to live and survive in and on the streets of Washington D.C.

The Chocolate Lovers' Club by Carole Matthews

Product Description
There’s one thing that Lucy Lombard can’t live without, and that’s chocolate—creamy, delicious chocolate. Sharing her obsession are three other addicts: Autumn, Nadia, and Chantal. Together they form a select group known as The Chocolate Lovers’ Club. Whenever there’s a crisis, they meet in their sanctuary, a cafe called Chocolate Heaven. With a cheating boyfriend, a flirtatious boss, a gambling husband and a loveless marriage, there’s always plenty to discuss....


My thoughts
“The Chocolate Lovers Club” is the story of four friends who in times of trouble and woe, meet up to console each other and eat chocolate. It seems their major problems have to do with men (bosses, spouses, lovers). Their stories intertwine, yet it didn’t hold my interest; not for them or the delicacies they enjoy eating so much.

Stonewiser: The Call of the Stone by Dora Machado

Product Description
Sariah's reward for revealing the stone truth: a death sentence. Banished and on the run, Sariah must find a way to carry out the stone's mystifying legacy. As the war escalates and the rot destroys the land, she must act before the executioners ruin her kin, her enemies slaughter her lover, and the mysterious bracelet she has been forced to wear kills her. In the second novel of her widely acclaimed Stonewiser Series, Machado continues the extraordinary saga of Sariah, the reluctant heroine forced into a desperate search for the only truth that can change her rotting world's fate.

My thoughts
Dora Machado's second book in the Stonewiser series is “The Call of the Stone”. She brings back Sariah and the detailed fantasy world created in the first book. But there is so much more. Machado write with such energy that you can’t help but get lost in this complex world of magic. It makes you think and feel for the characters as they fight their way through many adventures. For the fantasy lover, this series is a must.

Man Overboard by Sandy Mason

Product Description
Author Sandy Mason releases Man Overboard, the second in his series of Johnny Donohue adventures. Using his wit and sometimes sarcastic look at life, Johnny gets involved in all sorts of adventures and affairs that make his escape to the simple life in a Florida marina not so simple. On Florida’s beautiful gulf coast, an experienced sailor suddenly goes missing at sea. His disappearance leads to a trail of money laundering, stolen boats, drug smuggling and kidnapping. Johnny Donohue and his ex-cop buddy Lonnie Turner work the case and become entangled in a Mexican drug ring with a penchant for violence. While Johnny uncovers some of his family secrets, his Latino lover is doing some investigating of her own as an undercover reporter. Filled with danger and suspense along with a few twists and turns, Man Overboard brings together the best and the worst facets of Florida life. There is intrigue, romance, sailing, drugs, cops and criminals as the story unfolds. Throw in some introspective dialogue and you have a pretty good story.

My thoughts
I think Sandy Mason is a good writer and looked forward to reading “Man Overboard” The premise had intrigued me and I jumped into reading it once I received the book. The story takes place in Florida, and deals with a case of a missing person who owned a marina and may have or may have not been involved with drug running. Johnny Donohue, the protagonist of the story is not a private detective but a software developer. Somehow he gets involved with case and also with a local news reporter. That said, the book didn’t have tension, no buildup to the climax. It was more like a day (or days) in the life of Johnny Donohue. I hope Mr. Mason’s next book is more suspenseful.

Living in the Rear View Mirror by Kim Vasquez

Product Description
What is the consequence of allowing the pain of your past to create your life today? This compelling story is a case study in how our thoughts affect our reality. It shows how miracles happen when we embrace our own worth and become who we are meant to be. In 2006, even though she had resisted it all her life, paranormal activity caught up to Kim, a successful businesswoman with a haunted path. This phenomenon wasn't the only thing that Kim had been running from all her life. She had also kept trying to stay two steps ahead of the emotional pain from her past. But her mind wouldn't leave her alone. The pain eventually turned into crushing migraine headaches that would last twelve years and cause her to seek escape through painkillers and alcohol. After a dramatic visit from another realm, Kim experiences the miracle that brings her to sobriety. She is reborn to find herself leading the life of her dreams. It is now that she receives the answer to her lifelong question, "Why did all of this happen to a nice girl like me?" Kim's story is powerful and written with courageous honesty. It takes you into the mind of a woman struggling to leave her past behind and find her self-worth. It's through recovery that Kim finds spirituality and begins to walk the path toward a life better than she'd ever imagined. This book is an inspirational must-read for anyone seeking to enrich the quality of his or her life.

My thoughts
“Living in the Rear View Mirror” is a disturbing tale of one woman’s struggle with drugs, relationships and life itself. Kim Vasquez writes of her life from childhood to now. She openly discusses her feelings in regards to her absentee father, her failed marriages and the ease in which she started popping pills and partying to cope. All her life she struggled with so much stress that it caused headaches. She had problems and she dealt with them badly. She also interjected her visions of a guardian angel throughout her life. I didn’t understand the meaning of this, but am glad that she has been able to turn her life around. The book was alright.
