THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS: A THRILLER by Richard Stone is the first book his Last Man thriller series. I found the story intriguing and the subterranean landscape entertaining, despite the fact that at first I had problems knowing where I was, distinguishing up from down, at times unable to tell who was saying what to whom.

Martin Crosbie’s first book, MY TEMPORARY LIFE, is a sensitive, coming of age novel with a storyline that held me captive. The novel is filled with emotion—humor, joy, heartache, grief. It deals with the loneliness of children who have lost and the agony of their adjustment.

SURVIVING EMILY by Laurie Bellesheim, is more than a heartwarming story—it is an event. I cried with the characters, feared along with them, applauded their milestones, identified with their setbacks, and learned from the book.

I loved THE TITANIC PLAN. The story, the writing, the characters engaged me from start to finish. And a hefty book it is, over 8100 locations. By my reckoning, that’s somewhere between 160,000 and 200,000 words. Compared to the size of a mystery or western, it’s portly.
