Managing Editor of all Book reviews Shirley Roe
The Whittaker Family Reunion
In depth historical research makes this novel an education as well as a very entertaining read. With characters so real they feel like family, readers won't be able to put this book down. The Whittaker Family Reunion is the sequel to Of Dreams and Nightmares but stands alone for new readers. As with the first book in the series, this one leaves us wanting more. Emotion filled, heartfelt, with both suspense and romance, Shirley Roe has given fans another five star novel! We were introduced to the Whittaker family in Of Dreams and Nightmares. The Whittaker Family Reunion takes readers back to 1881 and the family is reunited once again. Martha and Jeremy await the arrival of their two sons, Abraham from Mississippi and Ezekiel, from England. The third son Isaac lives near St. Louis and is anxious to see his brothers again. Daughter Anna is spoiled and nothing but trouble. Abraham arrives with a woman, much to the family's surprise. Ezekiel makes a narrow escape in England. Will the reunion be a happy one? Who will leave St. Louis in disgrace? Will Martha get to spend time with her entire family before tragedy strikes? The reunion is shadowed by another man, one seeking revenge; will he get what he wants? Will he kill one or all of them?

Award winning author Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc with The Sampson Gene.
www.lulu.com
The Sampson Gene by R. Scott Rutherford and Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc
The Sampson Gene is the first story by Scott to see print and Andrea, as story writer, is honored to call this her first foray off the beaten path of the established genres she has taken by storm.
The Sampson Gene is a novel of Apocalyptic proportions!
Based on some biblical fact and a lot of fiction, The Sampson Gene follows a man of divine heritage who has lived decade after decade, though wars and all of the world's most memorable events.
He has lived long enough to see the present become the past and though he has tried to live as normally as possible, he has been called upon by a secret Vatican based organization to help stop the one enemy he hoped he'd never live to see...the Anti Christ himself!
Available in paperback and a special collector's edition hardback that differs slightly from the paperback, Sampson will thrill you and make you think about what the future holds for not only America, but the world in general.
Other books are The Two, A Man of Two Worlds, Michael, Playing Devils Advocate. New book covers for all.

Joshua Jay with Magic the Complete Course.
Joshua Jay was crowned champion at the World Magic Seminar in 1998, when he was still a teenager, and today is one of America's finest young magicians. He's performed and lectured in over 50 countries, is a headliner at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and writes a monthly column in MAGIC, the leading magazine for magicians. He lives in New York City.
Joshua Jay, one of magic's most eclectic and accomplished rising stars, has a purpose: to show people that things aren't always as they seem. And that's important, because seeing things differently is where fascination, inspiration and hope come from. Through his performances blending sleight of hand, psychology and wit … through his photography, film and art … through his writing, lecturing and innovation … Joshua Jay challenges you to challenge your perceptions, because the secret is right in front of you.
Joshua Jay has performed and lectured in over 40 countries. He is an international award-winning magician, a critically-acclaimed author, a fine-art photographer and a monthly columnist for the largest independent magazine for magicians
Movie:
The Heckler
There are things magicians do and things they'd like to do. There are things we see and things we'll never understand. There are things people expect, and things they deserve …
Enlisting a classic card trick as co-star, Joshua Jay combines an insightful portrayal of a magician's work-a-day life with a fantasy of comeuppance. His love of film, both noir and contemporary, is apparent in the shifting shadows and compelling cutting of this six-minute film.
"The Heckler" has been screened all over the world, from the Las Vegas Art of Illusion Film Fest to the New York International Film Festival.
Click "play" and think twice before you heckle that nice young man offering to entertain you until your dinner comes …

Author Joseph Cavano with Half-Past NoWhere
Set in the scenic mountains and college towns of upstate New York, as well as the author s beloved South, Half-Past Nowhere, chronicles the life of boy as he passes from innocence to experience. Written in a style that evokes Hemingway and Faulkner, experience the struggles of our young hero from an abusive childhood, through the joys and pains of young love and finally, self discovery. At times humorous, this collection is filled with memorable characters and real life obstacles.If you were ever young you may find yourself here.
Bio:
Ignoring the advice of teachers from grade school to graduate school to dedicate his life to writing, Cavano chose in his own words, the road most travelled, and opted for the secure life of an English teacher in the secondary schools and colleges of the Hudson Valley in New York. Semi retired now, he has begun to write again, and in less than a year has put together this collection. Phineas Rising and Mountain Men have been selected as finalists in the prestigious Glimmer Train Short Story Contest. An inveterate traveler, Joe and his wife, Stephanie, live in Charlotte, North Carolina and continue to travel throughout Europe and Asia. In his spare time he plays jazz piano.
After spending a good part of my life teaching in the secondary schools and colleges of upstate New York,I began to renew my love affair with writing one year ago.In that brief time ,I put together the collection of related short stories, Half -Past Nowhere, and had it accepted for publication by the first and only publisher I contacted.Patterned after Hemingway's In Our Time, it also traces the growth of a young hero as he passes from "innocence to experience." Two of the included stories have already been awarded finalist status by Glimmer Train,one of the most prestigious of venues for the short story.
Over the years, I've used the freedom afforded a teacher to develop a myriad of interests.One of these,has been improvising jazz piano, a process not unlike the process a writer utilizes in creating a work of fiction.As a jazz pianist once told me about creating music(and literature!)" You're never where you are...you're always where your going.'Its a point I often demonstate at my many book signings
Having been born in "the charmed circle of the Catskill Mts.," it's not surprising that Nature figures prominently in some of my stories,although always as a backdrop for some universal law(the verities Faulkner called them).One of my latest stories,presently untitled,but slated to appear in my newest collection,"Love Songs in Minor Keys," which comes out next year,explores that relationship in detail.
A one time wine connoisseur,ginseng hunter,fly fisherman and still world traveler(India is my favorite by far) I happily reside in the South among the bones of Faulkner,Welty,Twain, Capote et al.
I have an M.A. in English from American University in Washington,D.C., and a B.A.in English from Marist College in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. I have also studied Philosophy at the graduate level at Georgetown.

Horror Author Andrew Wolter with NightFall.
The town of Spook Valley is far from the outcries of the city. Nestled in the rural deserts of Arizona, Spook Valley is a town in which neighbors congregate on their lawns, and doors remained unlocked throughout the midnight hours. However, it has reluctantly become home to an unknown force of evil, hellbent on destroying all humanity. For one man, life in the quaint town of Spook Valley is about to take a dramatic change as he commences a battle against creatures of legend and folklore. He will discover that the survival of the entire world rests solely upon his shoulders as he becomes entangled in a nightmarish web of the fantastic that consumes his every waking minute. The ultimate war between good and evil has arrived. It begins at nightfall.
Bio:
I like to be known as an author without genre boundaries. Many have referred to my fiction as homoerotic horror, due to the gay element that seems to make its way into my works. Perhaps, it is merely art imitating life. Notwithstanding, I'm not a whore like some of my characters in my first novel, The Rules of Temptation; nor am I an evil creature as depicted by the troupe of characters in my upcoming novel, Nightfall. I am a writer. Yes, I write what I know, and, perhaps, I have experienced such. However, a writer's job is to grip the audience; and one of the ways that he/she does this is by fabricating the truth and bending reality into a kaleidoscope of the fantastic. That said, I hope you all get a chance to enjoy my books.

Author Yvonne Mason with Silent Scream
Silent Scream
Port St. Lucie, FL - Oct 30, 2008 - Florida Author Yvonne Mason is pleased to announce the
release the true crime book Silent Scream. In 1972 Martin County Deputy Gerard Schaefer was
arrested for the aggravated assault of two young women by the name of Nancy Trotter and
Pamela Wells. They were the lucky ones. They got away.
On April 1,1973 the bodies of two more young women , Georgia Jessup and Susan Place were
found on South Hutchinson Island. They had disappeared from Fort Lauderdale on Sept 23,1972.
The police investigation which ensued led the authorities back to Gerard Schaefer who was by
this time serving six months for aggravated assault on Nancy Trotter and Susan Wells.
The firestorm and the evidence uncovered in the investigation led authorities to believe that Ex-
Martin County Deputy Sheriff Gerard Schaefer had killed more than just these four young
women. Evidence gathered during a search at his mother's home revealed at least nine and as
many as possibly thirty four over a span of six years beginning in 1966 and continuing until
1972.
Until this crime, Florida had never experienced anything like what is now known as serial
killings. Gerard Schaefer was considered the first perpetrator of this type of crime. Crime Scene
evidence testing, DNA testing and the ability to link similar crimes was primitive at best. Law
enforcement didn't communicate with each other and there was no way to tie these types of
crimes to one perpetrator. Gerard Schaefer was caught simply because he got sloppy.
Ms. Mason's Silent Scream gives the victims a voice - a voice which has been silent for over 30
years. Some of the young women were never found, some cases were never closed and there
were never any bodies to bury.
Gerard Schaefer took their voice away when he bound, gagged, hung, tortured, and buried their
bodies in remote areas. He killed in pairs so one could watch while the other was destroyed.
This is their story; this is their voice and with this voice comes the peace they have never had.
Retired FBI Agent Roy Hazelwood stated:
"Yvonne Mason has captured the true essence of Gerard Schaefer, a deputy sheriff who
enjoyed torturing and killing young women. It is a gripping story and you should prepare to be
disturbed. I guarantee that you will find it difficult to put this book down."
Det. Lieutenant Chuck Hemp OPPD Ret. also stated::
When Gerald Schaefer used his badge and gun to terrorize and kill rather than protect and serve
he crossed a line that not only snuffed out the lives of his victims but also affected the lives of
their loved ones and the police officers charged with investigating these crimes. In her book
"Silent Screams" Yvonne Mason has captured more than just the story, but has also given voices
to all of Schaefer's unknown victims. I'm sure there are many.
Ms. Mason, reminds us that at any time and any place we can become a victim.

Author and Screen Writer Ann B. Keller with The Devil's Cresent
Historical Western Fiction.
My fourth novel, THE DEVIL'S CRESCENT, was just released today through Lulu.com. This exciting western will grab your attention from the beginning and hold you spellbound until you turn the final page. What a great Christmas gift this would make!
THE DEVIL'S CRESCENT should be available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and through Ingram's Distribution in a few short weeks. You can order a copy through Lulu.com or ask for the novel at your local bookstore.
NEW RELEASE!!! -- My fourth novel, THE DEVIL'S CRESCENT - Hardened bounty hunter Diego Montoya descends upon a small Texas village in the midst of a cloudburst and boldly plunges into the life of beautiful, small time cattle rancher, Maggie MacNaughton. Diego is a man haunted by a past filled with death and disappointment, a nobleman fleeing from the dictates of his demanding father and an arranged marriage. When a U.S. Marshall asks Diego to infiltrate a gun runner's operation, Diego reluctantly agrees, shadowing the powerful land baron, Morgan Lansing. Morgan's efforts play into the hands of a group of Mexican nationalists, who quickly claim the land vacated by the terrified settlers until only one parcel stands in the way of their march toward the border -- the one occupied by Maggie MacNaughton. Diego and Maggie match wits and wills as the danger mounts. When they are finally captured, it seems only their reliance upon each other might save them from a swift and certain death. Can a bounty hunter and a lovely cattle rancher stop a group of Mexican nationalists from retaking southern Texas? Find out in this action-packed western!
Bio:
I started writing when I was about 12 years old and have never stopped. I am the granddaughter of an award winning Ohio author and poet and already have several books published and screenplays awaiting production. I am also a veteran of the stage and was once asked to try out for the Metropolitan Opera.
I am the President of Kodron Productions, Inc. and the author and screenwriter of VORTEX OF REVELATION, a compelling novel/screenplay about the End of Days. As the ghosts of Civil War soldiers march through Gettysburg, gladiators do battle in the Coliseum in Rome and saints appear to the faithful, earthquakes rip the Earth apart while meteors streak across the solar system on a collision course with Earth. How can the human race survive the End of Days, what seems to be the end of time as we know it? Only funding stands in the way of our bringing this incredible picture to the silver screen. For now, you can purchase VORTEX OF REVELATION through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or Target.com. Ask for it at your favorite bookstore under A.B. Keller.
TREVOR'S LOVE, my second published novel, is a contemporary romance about the growing attraction between a handsome, but ruthless executive living in the fast lane and the temporary assistant who slowly but surely, finds a way into his heart. This story is set in Cleveland, Ohio and features many of the things I noticed in my long business career. The flashy, superficial lifestyle of the rich and famous often lacks depth and true meaning, the heart and sense of belonging to which all of us cling in those quiet moments when the tinsel-type friends depart and the only comfort we find is in the arms of those we love. You can find TREVOR'S LOVE through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and PublishAmerica.com. Request it by name at your local bookstore, too! You'll be glad you did.
BRIGGEN, a science fiction/fantasy was published by TRIAD Publishing Group in April, 2008. BRIGGEN is a riveting page turner that will have you perched on the edge of your seat as this brawny warrior prince rushes across the galaxy, battling aliens and assassins, dealing with an ornery wizard and a proud dragon, and finally succumbing to the charms of a beautiful sorceress as he claims his throne and saves the exotic planet of Mantasi. ORDER BRIGGEN in paperback or in Amazon's new KINDLE format. Stay tuned for the other two novels in this marvelous sci-fi/fantasy trilogy!
COMING SOON - The second book in the BRIGGEN trilogy - THE TORRENT SEED and my poetry collection, FOOTSTEPS ACROSS MY HEART.
