"Carol Bennett writes a stunning mystery-thriller. Her chilling
entrance is one I have encountered only rarely in a book.
Here, we have a victim who looks like he had been
swarmed by bees in the middle of a storm, but the reader is
lead to believe that it was something much more ominous
and that it is about to get worse.

"Carlton Austin has crafted a wonderful piece of work in
Second Eden - an action-packed suspense thriller with a
little romance and some elements of science fiction. Its
beautifully designed cover incorporates gorgeous images
depicting scenes within the plot and the book is available in
both hard and soft cover. I recommend the hard cover, folks.
This book is sure to be one that you keep among your
favorite authors on your bookshelves. Second Eden is
destined for a talented director to take big screen fans on its
roller-coaster ride.

"Dawn Josephson, author of 14 books, has written a
fantastic author resource with her latest book Putting it on
Paper The ground rules for creating promotional pieces
that sell books. This book discusses the development and
use of contents within a media kit, and other marketing
materials. From cover letters, press releases, book reviews,
bios, sell and catalog sheets to articles Dawn covers it all.

Brassy, ballsy and full of energy.

A totem of two womens struggle to do something worthwhile in life, it certainly knows how to serve up endless comical observations. This is what comedy is supposed to be. The delivery, too, is polished, every line, every joke, enhancing the material, making for a thoroughly enjoyable read.
The women and their breathless brand of glamorous, gossipy, camp, snobby, self-deprecating, fast-paced banter is second to none but it is the delivery that sells this story, as this story, is a reality they live every day.

When I was in college, Spider McGee, Charlie Fox, and I loved to fish off the log boom in the river near my house on summer afternoons. We'd sit and talk about life, drink hot chocolate, and occasionally catch a fish or two. But one day, Spider yelled, "Hey, I got something, and it feels big!"

Catching any fishof any sizewas always a surprise, but hooking something big was reason for genuine excitement. As Spider began to reel, his pole bent almost in half.

"This thing is a monster," he said, the drag on his reel screaming.

"Ferns Dragon is a wonderfully fun read that stimulates the
imagination of both young people and the young-at-heart
alike. It is a good mystery-fantasy story that is artfully
composed.

Fern is a bright, artistic young girl who is utterly fascinated
with dragons. One day she created a masterpiece with
beach sand and loved it so much that she was reluctant to
leave her dragon, Nogard. When her mother brought Fern to
visit Norgard, they were shocked to discover he was
missing. Later that night, Fern is visited by Norgard, who
begs for her help in saving dragon-kind.

When asked what gave her the idea for the story, she replied, "I am a big movie fanatic of all genres, but if you were to ask my favorites, it would be mafia and horror. With Taylini, I decided to add a twist that is not included in your usual "mafia stories."

See below for a brief synopsis and a sampling of reviews of Ms. Ashton's book:

"Pariah, written by multi-talented artist and author Timothy
Goodwin, is a science fiction, fantasy novel that incorporates
some very clear ideas to what is wrong with todays world.
The characters are colorfully portrayed and the battles were
very well written.
