Eyes of the World ReviewThe election for the next President of the United States is two weeks away, but appears to be a historical one. Carolyn "Lynnie" Connor is leading comfortably in all the major polls and looks ready to become the first female president. Her spouse former naval chaplain "Saint Devon" is a popular individual as he does missionary work around the world; currently the future First Man is in Africa. The only thing that could derail Lynnie's trip to the White House is a mega scandal. That possibility exists because of her affair with her childhood friend, who saved her life during a fire that killed his sister; her trysts with Michael "Mike" Stanbridge will not be forgiven by the voters as she is cuckolding her paragon of a husband.
Reverend Eve Tessmer has set up a "This Is Your Life" for Lynnie in her home town. She has arranged guest speakers to represent each phase in Lynnie's life, except for when she was in Arizona. Eve's friend Archibald "Archie" Pascoe takes some of the Arizona documents home to peruse in an effort to determine a suitable speaker. That same night someone kills Eve and takes her Arizona file except what Archie possesses. The police suspect Mike killed Eve. When someone tries to murder Archie, Mike knows he is the only target of the Feds for this attempted murder and an unknown assassin who he fears is working for a famous person he knows intimately.
With the obvious connections to the real election aside, this is an exciting thriller as a lone nobody becomes the focus of an assassin, the media, and law enforcement. Though somewhat over the top readers will enjoy the fast-paced EYES OF THE WORLD as Mike will remind the audience of Cary Grant's character psychiatrist Thorndike in NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

Just Beyond the Edge ReviewFrom the very begining, this book grabs the attention with a character we don't often have contact with on any level. The reader is placed on the inside with an American acting as a contract worker with the FBI- in Mexico. As a Law Enforcement officer working in Texas over 20 years, I found this read realistic and interesting without over doing it. It brings together different cultures, different people, and finally a different, unexpected, ending. This novel is deep into the grayer side of Drug Enforcement while building a love story with equal depth. First novel? I can only ask, next?Just Beyond the Edge Overview"All the classic angles that you like to see in an action novel. Suspense, betrayal and a final twist at the end."- Gunnar EricksonAuthor of The Independent Film Producer's Survival Guide"Lots of action, compelling characters. Packed with romantic suspense. Will keep even the most avid reader entertained."- Bonnie GordonChief Editor, Major Publications, Author
Chase Chandler, a contract agent for the FBI, posing as an international corporate executive, is on assignment in Mexico to retrieve a murderer hiding out under the protection of a Mexican drug lord. Always the consummate professional, Chase is immediately knocked off track when he meets a noted flamenco dancer, Lorena Sontaya. A passionate affair ensues but it is soon threatened when Chase's mission backfires and Lorena is kidnapped by the vengeful drug lord. Chase ultimately rescues Lorena but the suspense of who will eventually prevail in this lethal game for dominance is just beginning.
At the same time as Chase and Lorena are trying to put their lives back together, Diego Sanchez, an international fencing champion, is returning home to Mexico after a twenty-year absence only to discover his affair at the age of nineteen produced an illegitimate son. Always haunted by his past, Diego begins a quest to find his son that takes him down the darkest passageways of deception and treachery. During his search for answers, Diego encounters Lorena, who is estranged from Chase after he breaks his promise to never go out on another mission. Tormented by the question of her future with Chase, Lorena turns to Diego. The resulting conflict encircling this triad is fraught with suspicion and betrayal - leaving no one untouched by the steadfast grip of uncertainty.
"Captivating storytelling. For someone who enjoys a good summer read, this was right up my alley."- Peter SpeekProducer, Warren Miller Film Productions

Hero's Tribute: A Novel ReviewThe genre of Christian literature has gone through change upon change over the years; some for the better, some for the worse. This offering by Graham Garrison more or less represents the latest wave of change and I must say that I approve of the direction that Garrison and others of his ilk are taking. From my perspective, the concept of the "flawed hero," the concept of a man or woman doing the right thing despite all of our inevitable human flaws, is a good message; a realistic message.
As has been noted in several reviews here, the plot has already been well covered by several of the effusions recorded here so I will not linger overly long on that subject. In brief, we have a local home town boy who is a hero. He was the star of stars on his high school football team, played for a major college, married the love of his life, served his country honorably receiving not only the Purple Heart, but also the Medal of Honor, came home and started an organization to help troubled and under privileged children. All who know him love him...perfect man, perfect wife and family and perfect community leader. As the book open, Michael, our hero, dies an early death by cancer. His last request is that a local reporter, Wes, give his eulogy. Wes does not know Michael and begins an odyssey of discovery....just who was this "perfect man?"
Now make no mistake. There are no deep dark disgusting secrets unveiled here that we have been subjected to in real life recently. No instances of blatant infidelity, playing games in public restrooms, no unhealthy fascination with children, and no mistresses stashed in South America...not of the usual sick stuff that screams at us via the talking heads each evening. No, this is not the story of twisted, sickening flaws, but ordinary flaws that we all possess at one level or another. But are they flaws? Is being less that perfect a bad thing? Can a man or woman lead a wonderful productive life despite the burdens laid upon us from birth; from our families, teachers, coaches, friends and community and indeed, human nature?

I felt the author captured his characters perfectly, both as individuals and as groups of people. As an example, I was extremely amused as the author's description of the group of town people meeting at the local café, something that they had done for years...these older men living and reliving their "glory days" of high school football. What small town does not contain this sort of group? To be frank, I listen to this stuff ever Saturday morning and I must admit to having been guilty of participating in the conversation myself from time to time. The author's description of the local and not so local coaches are gems. Anyone living in small town America will be able to identify many of these characters in their own community. I love this sort of thing.
The book is well written and holds a very strong message. The author's portrayal of small town life, while a bit exaggerated at times, is spot on. His profile of a man who possesses the flaws we all have, yet tries his best to always do the right thing is rather inspirational. Like another reviewer here, the only real flaw I found in the work was that it started quite strong in the first half, but then sort of fell short of expectations in the end. This is no big deal though. Keep in mind that this is the author's fist novel and if you consider his obvious skill in writing and ability to tell a good story, we can be assured that we will be hearing much more from him in the future and I for one am looking forward to it.
I am giving this one five stars rather than four simply because it was a wonderfully good first effort. I do recommend this on highly.

Play Dirty: A Novel ReviewI have been a fan of Sandra Brown for years. Her writing style is always brilliant and amazes me. The stories she creates are so intense and deeply detailed, I am always surprised.
While I don't fault the writing, I just didn't' find myself liking the characters of Griff and Laura. Griff Burkett was a star of the Dallas Cowboys who tossed it all away by getting caught up in gambling and wound up loosing not just his job and reputation but went to prison for five years. Laura Speakman is devoted to her husband Foster, and was driving when they were in a horrific auto accident. She basically runs the company and has given up everything else in order to care for him. He has lost feeling from the waist down. Foster wants an heir. To avoid negative publicity he has convinced Laura to have a baby his way. He wants her to conceive the natural way with his a chosen substitute - Griff. The fact that Griff agreed to this made his character more appalling, and the fact that Laura also agreed, made her character equally not likeable.
I didn't feel any chemistry or real emotion between Griff and Laura. It felt very forced.
I hope her next book is better.
Play Dirty: A Novel Overview#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown is back with a gripping story of obsession and its deadly consequences. After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man. But the disgraced Cowboys quarterback can never return to life as he knew it before he was caught cheating. In a place where football is practically a religion, Griff committed a cardinal sin, and no one is forgiving. Foster Speakman, owner and CEO of SunSouth Airlines, and his wife, Laura, are a golden couple. Successful and wealthy, they lived a charmed life before fate cruelly intervened and denied them the one thing they wanted most -- a child. It's said that money can't buy everything. But it can buy a disgraced football player fresh out of prison and out of prospects. The job Griff agrees to do for the Speakmans demands secrecy. But he soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion. An unsolved murder comes back to haunt him in the form of his nemesis, Stanley Rodarte, who has made Griff's destruction his life's mission. While safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around him, especially Laura Speakman, from Rodarte's ruthlessness. Griff stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and love. Griff is now playing a high-stakes game, and at the final whistle, one player will be dead. Play Dirty is Sandra Brown's wildest ride yet, with hairpin turns of plot all along the way. The clock is ticking down on a fallen football star, who lost everything because of the way he played the game. Now his future -- his life -- hinges on one last play.

Learning to Swim: A Novel ReviewLEARNING TO SWIM may be the best debut novel I've ever read, and I've read a lot of them. It's written in effortless first person, and only moments into the first chapter I found myself thinking of myself AS the book's main character, even though her life and adventures are very different than mine.
Tucked within this thriller are meditations on the nature of family, how bonding happens, the dangers of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable - things you will take with you, when you climb out of the swift-moving river that is LEARNING TO SWIM.

Sudoku from an Old Newspaper ReviewIt's a true masterpiece of storytelling: natural union of the old-school precision and subtle but poisonous present-day vapours. If you are an expert in literature, you will notice that Cortazarian atmosphere of uncertainty, Nabokovian touch of magical linking and Hemingwaian laconic definition. If you are not an expert... you will just enjoy this rapidly pacing plot with relentless suspense and underhand development of human characters and relations.
And yes, it's about sudoku game and blind sweepstakes, about old gentleman giving fish names to young swimmers, about fatal tranquillity and mistakes of cardiac rhythm.Sudoku from an Old Newspaper OverviewSudoku is a story of unusual love, intense competition, and untimely death. All this still has a place in our lives. The start of a criminal plot could be any insignificant detail. It could even be a sudoku puzzle from an old newspaper.
