Snow Eagle by Shirley A. Roe
Print edition $15.95
WHEN FATE STEPS IN
Early on, the reader is faced with a question. Is life a predestined series of events, or is life what you make of it? Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to follow the path to happiness, life has other plans for you. Such is the case for Mary Margaret and Elana, the daughters of Doris Madison. The rural area around Chatsworth, England in 1845 is a world centred on class differences. The aristocracy holds the money and power, and the lower class work for them without much chance of reward or advancement.
Mary Margaret and Elana are so different in many ways, and yet they have one common goal. They both want nothing more than a normal life brimming with happiness, but it quickly becomes obvious that isn’t in the cards. Mary Margaret, marrying into the aristocracy against the wishes of both families, is the catalyst for a series of events, involving among other things, murder, kidnapping, and wrongful imprisonment, that will have the reader contemplating the inherent good and evil that live within different people and the effect they have on those around them. What results is a domino effect of one tragedy after another which tests all of the characters’ faith to the limits.
What makes a story great? One that draws you in, captures you, and never lets you go until the final page is turned. This is exactly what Shirley Roe has accomplished in the writing of When Fate Steps In. Cindy Taylor, reviewer.

Web of Lies
New author Sarah Tate brings a tale of domestic
horror to the table with her first book, Web of Lies.
Not a story of wife beating, but one of an abuse that
is, perhaps, even more insidious, even more shocking.
Unputdownable, the book tells of the effects of becoming
involved with a man who is a narcissist. At first charming
and romantic, Bill woos the young Sarah with a courtship
beyond her wildest dreams, but after she agrees to marry him, his true nature and extreme narcissism begins to show, resulting in an unstoppable chain of disasters that leave Sarah and her children struggling to survive. If you've never heard of Narcissistic Syndrome, read this book. If you identify with the plight of a young wife and mother, stuck in an intolerable situation, read this book. If you want to pick up a book that will keep you reading deep into the night and won't let go until you have turned the very last page...read this book.

Freedom Blade
J.B. Hoel
A youth runs from his life and loses everything! This young dark elf will discover Gablador his land. He will encounter friends and meet two insane people: A psychopath with no agenda and an evil man with a sinister plan to completely massacre an entire race!
With nothing to lose the youth known as Dak will find himself in the middle of a crisis and will also discover something horrid will occur if he can’t put a stop to this disaster! It seems impossible but with the assistance of his allies and the incredible power of an ancient weapon he may have a chance to save thousands.
In this highly, imaginative tale, the world is partially populated by various species of Elves who are not only shunned by Humans but are being persecuted and slaughtered by the powerful madman ‘Shadow.’ Originally treated as Human equals, the law is rewritten making all elves inferior, to be treated as slaves.
Although the essence of the novel is about an attempt to massacre an entire race, J.B. Hoel has also portrayed emotions of friendship, loyalty and love that survive even in desperate times. He has detailed his multitude of characters, magical spells and constant battles with vivid description and the reader should not expect to be able to follow the story without reading it with just as much attention. Be sure to check his comments in the back of the book to understand his unique style of storytelling. The author J.H. Hoel was a 13 year old teen at the time of the writing of this book, who has a right to be proud of his first work of fiction. Originally born in Chicago, Illinois he now resides in the Boston, Mass. area.Reviewer: Cheryl Heinrichs, Allbooks Reviews www.allbooksreviewint.com
ALSO: LETTERS TO KARA
A powerful dose of the truth, descriptive storytelling and a moving memoir make for interesting reading in Letter’s to Kara – One Man’s Journey from War to War.
Author Paul Giannone enters the combat zone of Vietnam for all of the wrong reasons, never realizing that his journey into war would last a lifetime. As a medic, emergency responder and public health administrator, Mr. Giannone goes deep into the bowels of the world that war and prisoner of war camps and conflicts create. He sees horror after horror and he writes about all of it to his daughter Kara, so that she might know and so that he might remember that there is always hope. He shares stories of people surviving in war torn areas, prisons and refugee camps, not to shock, but to inform. Not to hurt, but to help.

LAST STOP FREEDOM by Ann N. Heinz
A desperate flight from brutal oppression — and everything to lose if it fails . . . Two women, one white, the other black, find themselves trapped in bondage on a South Carolina plantation in 1850's America. Their unique friendship gives each the strength to endure until circumstances threaten not only to rip them apart, but to place their very lives in jeopardy. They undertake a harrowing flight with the aid of the Underground Railroad. Will slavery’s powerful tentacles hold them? Or will they find the freedom they crave. Wendy Thomas of Allbooks Reviews describes LAST STOP FREEDOM as “an intriguing story of cultures and morals clashing including - North vs South, men vs. women, black vs. white, and religious doctrine vs. free will. Ann Nolder Heinz does a wonderful job of weaving all of these points of view into a solid story filled with beautiful imagery and accurate historical facts.” Read her entire review at www.fictionbookmates.com/last-stop-freedom.html.

Acrocanthosaurus – The Bone of Contention
In 1983 two Okies – the hillbilly Cephis Hall and
his partner Sid Love, a Choctaw Indian – discovered
a major dinosaur quarry inside a corporate waste
holding pit near the Mountain Fork River in southeastern
Oklahoma. It took the two amateurs almost four years to finish the dig and remove the articulated skeleton from the land owned by a powerful multi-national corporation. Thereafter, when the corporation and academia learned the value of their world-class dinosaur specimen, a fierce conflict ensued over rightful ownership and possession of the giant carnivorous beast, equivalent in size and ferocity to the mighty T.rex, but 50 million years older and much rarer. The Struggle to save the decrepit bones and protect their vested interest in the Mountain Fork Monster propelled the two men on a long, arduous journey with horrendous consequences. This herculean adventure story narrates an amazing account of the two amateur paleontologists who defied the odds and won. This was unquestionably one of the greatest dinosaur discoveries (and excavations) in history.
