I have a soft spot for children’s books, they are so much more fun to read than a lot of adult books and For Faithful Friends is no exception. It is a book that any young child would derive great pleasure from.
One of the unusual aspects is that Marilyn Randall not only created the text but is also the illustrator, this believe it or not is quite rare. The illustrations are done in a fairly soft watercolor style and and match the age group of

The Music And Talent Of Paul McCartney
I have to admit that I dropped everything when this book arrived. As a music reviewer and music lover, I do enjoy a good discussion about almost any aspect of the subject. In fact two days ago I ran a radio program on the subject of the state of rock today. I do wish that I had known about Better Than Lennon last week because I most certainly would have invited John Cherry

In this sequel to “Random Victim” Sergeant Francisco Leal is more than a little annoyed that his partner, Olivia (Ollie) Hart isn’t back working with him. Instead, when she isn’t working for her upcoming competition as a female body builder, she is stuck on some sort of special detail over in Robertsville, Illinois. Years of corruption have caused the local police force to be dismissed, and for now until the first class graduates from the academy, Cook County Sheriff’s Police are pulling patrol duty in

Today I had the opportunity to chat with Larry Hancock about his new book Someone Would Have Talked. If you are interested in the JFK assassination, this is a must have for your bookcase. Following is the result of both an email exchange and a telephone interview. You can find my book review here.
Simon@BNN: Larry let me first say that I greatly enjoyed your book, and thank you for taking time out to talk to me today. I was wondering how and when you first

Every century has defining moments, every person has defining moments in their life, it could be that first kiss, maybe the birth of your first child. It is a defining moment. It is a moment that the world changes.
In the 20th century there were several defining moments, however the one that is most lucid in my life happened on November/22/1963. Even though I was only 8 years old I remember this day, the day that John F Kennedy lost his life in Dallas, Texas.
It is

I enjoy a good thriller, and I was very much looking forward to Sheldon Greene’s latest novel Prodigal Sons, and I was not disappointed, it is a cracking read from cover to cover. Sheldon has two prior books under his belt Lost And Found and Burnt Umber. He has developed into an author with a great future, his writing style lures the reader into the tale light a moth to the light.
Set in 1950 post war Germany our main protagonist is Horst Vogle, a

Part fantasy tale, part mystery tale, this short book tells the tale of what can happen when a person is locked into sadness. The fisherman, Cal, is a stern father of two young children, a daughter and son. While the daughter, much like his wife, dutifully listens to him and does not disobey, his son is a bit of a wild child yearning for adventure.
The son gets that and more when he is pulled into the river that ultimately leads into Flat Horn Lake and

This is in fact the second book in the Oracle’s Legacy trilogy. The third part will be released early next year. The series, I had an opportunity to read the first one, is that fantasy/sci-fi trilogy of epic proportions. This is not your easy to digest fantasy novel, but one that takes thought and some effort to keep up. I would liken it to the “hard” sci-fi type of writing.
The story involves a secret civilization that runs in tandem with our own. Members of the
