Reviews:
“The Gifting is a unique fantasy where mental and physical worlds merge in a flight of unrestrained imagination. Unlike much fantasy I’ve read lately, this book soars with hope. It’s a story of redemption gained through a mystical journey through earth, air, fire and water that tests the deepest recesses of a man’s soul.” (Awesome Indies Reviews)
“The Gifting is merely the introduction to the Gathandrian Trilogy; it’s a big world, filled with intrigues and magic, loss and redemption. It’s a fantastical place where almost anything is possible, where a coward can become a hero, where the promise for more excitement and enchantment are guaranteed, and I look forward to seeing where Anne Brooke will take us next, as well as discovering what Simon’s future holds.” (Top2Bottom Reviews)

Beyond These Woods : Mark Roger Bailey
Beyond These Woods
The author of SAINT returns with a new novel about Lotte Keene, a biological detective who has had enough of government bureaucracy at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and resigns, but can never escape.
After surviving the outbreak of a mysterious pathogen in the Amazonian jungle, Keene returns home and is pulled into the seemingly infinite mystery of a new, still more lethal killer in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. There for the first time in her forensic biology career she confronts a pathogen so potent and lethal that it seems unnatural. She also discovers secrets in the forested mountains that no one wants to know.
Lotte Keene is about to rewrite the rules of biogenetic science and cross the thin red, white and blue line between American principle and power.
Hoping this is book one of a series. This story was engrossing and led me easily along its trail of secrets. This story has it all. Bravo! – Suzanne Evans

When Gabe Blanchard, heir to a tobacco farm and fortune in Colonial Africa, is given his godmother’s diaries to read in 1992 after her death, he discovers secrets about his family that have led to tragedy, murder and a miscarriage of justice.
Talk to the Moon is a story of unrequited love, lies, alcoholism and betrayal. It is a story narrated by Holly Morgan: a young woman who finds more than she bargains for in her new country.
All Holly and her sister Eva ever wanted from life was love and happiness and to escape their dysfunctional home, but when they arrive at their new jobs at a Christian Mission in Rhodesia in 1945 they discover life does not always cooperate with their wishes and desires.
Holly comes to realize that her own naiveté and lack of experience is no match for the manipulative and sophisticated Avril.
And what about Tony, the bad-boy Air Force Lieutenant she falls hopelessly in love with: or is it only an empty uniform she loves? The Mission folk are a smorgasbord of the bizarrely flawed and heroic, and Holly is confused. Who can she trust? Majozi, the blind African herbalist friend she has made off-mission has some insights to her problems.
Can she believe him? Over a period of several years, through a series of heartbreaks and betrayals, Holly gradually comes to understand how the seeds of destruction have been sown not only for Gabe’s family but also for future generations, in a country she has come to love.

An Uncommon Vocabulary : Jim Boyd
An Uncommon Vocabulary
There are two activities in life that are essential to one’s happiness. The first is to have one’s day (to explore, engage and enjoy life) and the second is to say one’s say (to say the words to oneself and others that are worth saying).
“An Uncommon Vocabulary” is an exercise in saying one’s say. It is an A to Z book of common words and phrases that are described in ways better suited to them in the opinion of the author.
The concepts described herein are working definitions, definitions that can be brought to mind to facilitate one’s thinking and actions within particular circumstances.
When a working definition is properly occasioned (brought to mind at the appropriate time and in the appropriate circumstances), advantageous effects flow from it.
In this way, one’s personal narrative is made richer and more rewarding, and one becomes more coherent and positive in dealing with everyday events.
