In the spirit of making changes, there is one more change that we would like to introuduce to the LL Book Review – Pick Me! Statuses. Since we receive questions on a fairly regular basis asking for the status of whether or not a book will be reviewed, we will now add on the status of the submitted works. The statuses will be:
– Self-explanatory.
The below is a status update for those books which have had their Pick Me! entries removed while under the old format – the list should give everyone an understanding as to why it sometimes takes awhile for your book to be read and reviewed. The entries will be removed from the list once the review goes live or a declined notification is sent.
Hi Shannon, It’s been a while since you reviewed my book (Abandoned: review 37) and I would like to thank you again for that. I don’t know if you sometimes revisit authors, but if you do, I would love for you to review “Eye of the Witch”. Although it is the second book in an ongoing paranormal detective mystery series that I am writing, (book 5 is almost complete) it is, like the others, a fine stand alone and the real “jumping off point” for the series. I received a wonderful boost in sales after your review of “Abandoned”, and I am hoping you can help me kick start the success of this series. As with the last book, I am offering “Eye of the Witch” as a free download to anyone interested, either from my web site or from Lulu. Anyway, hope you can look at it. Oh, and by the way, you will be happy to know that the book is only about 400 pages at 4.25 x 6.89
Cover blurb:
Back in the game, are Detectives Tony Marcella and Carlos Rodriquez with new comer, Detective Dominic Spinelli. Together they race against time to solve a mystery involving a string of suicides that suggest a pattern of something more sinister. It’s not enough that the clues in the deaths of three women seem to indicate who the next victim might be, but because of the ties that bind their pasts, every potential victim is also a potential suspect. “Eye of the Witch” available in paperback and PDF download.

Synopsis:
Sanity is not something you lose, like your car keys or that elusive sock in the dryer. That’s what Ian believed before his mother stepped over the edge from sane to crazy.
No one is able to give Ian a reasonable explanation. Corinne suffers from severe memory loss, odd behavior, and paranoid delusions. Or at least Ian had been told they were delusions. After all, who would be hiding outside watching his mother? And why?
Ian hires private investigator Lucianna Martel to retrace the events of his mother’s last sane day. During Lucianna’s investigation, she and Ian learn that Corinne may not be so crazy after all.

Synopsis:
What would you give up for the people you love?
When Megan Taylor, a single mother and artist living on Cape Cod, receives the shocking news that her cancer has returned, she’s faced with the most difficult decision she’s ever had to make. The love she has for her daughter, Olivia, and her closest friends will be stretched and frayed.
Megan’s illness reawakens her best friend, Holly Townsend’s, torment of a long-held secret and years of betrayal. How does one choose between a daughter and a life-long best friend? Can the secret she has been keeping be revealed after years of lying without destroying everyone in its wake?
Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Olivia’s world is falling apart right before her eyes, and there’s nothing she can do about it. She finds herself acting in ways she cannot even begin to understand. When her internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, even the paranormal connection she shares with her mother might not be enough to save her – her life will hang in the balance.
Megan’s Way is a journey of self discovery and heartfelt emotions, exploring the depth of the mother-daughter bond, and the intricacies of friendship.

The title of my book is Discovering Wounded Justice: Cruel Menace
ISBN: 978-0-9804548-0-2 (hardcover); 978-0-9804548-1-9 (paperback); 978-0-9804548-2-6 (eBook, multiformat)
Synopsis:
Alyssa Giordano, a first generation American, never thought being a woman in this day and age would be a disadvantage… until she met her first boss. Her grandmothers, one Irish, the other Italian, fought so hard to be seen by other women as their husbands’ equals. But Alyssa’s grandfathers, and her father, knew who really ran things.
Barely a year into her career, the young lawyer couldn’t believe that Duncan Kennedy would accuse her of a double cross and sack her after she’d rebuffed his advances. Nor could she believe that his partner, Lydia Price, refused to support her. As she leaves behind her first job in the only career which she’d ever wanted, Alyssa, pride wounded, loses faith in the one thing she’d grown up believing in: justice.
After struggling to get her career (and her life) back in order, Giordano finally hits the big time and finds that roles are reversed. Kennedy is labeled a swindler and a leading journalist, a woman no less, holds his fate in her hands. But as he vanishes in a cloud of lies and creditors before he can be brought to justice, Giordano’s faith in it, justice, freefalls again.
Later uncovering reports of Kennedy’s untimely death, Alyssa’s faith in justice returns and she begins to believe she is rid of the cruel menace who almost destroyed her. Until the day he walks back into her life to seemingly ask for her help in restoring his reputation… and tries to take her life…
The “follow-on” and “prequel” novels are currently under development. The eBook version is available in multiple formats, including a format for reading on Kindle.

The Bracelet
By Todd W. Cheney
Mike Alex, a small-town mechanic, finds a bracelet that can give him a wish once a day.
An excerpt:
“Emptiness took him. He’d used the bracelet again, and anything could happen. But it was too much for him, and too much for any man or woman to resist. A thing like the bracelet shouldn’t be allowed to exist under the sight of God, but Mike now had to face the fact that it did. He could do anything with it. Elation filled the hole inside him. If God had allowed the bracelet to exist, it must be a part of his design. Unless, of course, he had somehow gone above all that, above God. Why worry about religious questions if the bracelet could give him any kind of power he wanted? Screw God, he could be him, if he wished it.
Mike Alex laughed at himself, smiled in the faint light, and caught the glint of his eyes in the mirror. In the next room, Rhonda turned over, mumbling to herself. To cover his actions, even though he didn’t need to, Mike Alex flushed the toilet, and left the bathroom. He slept soundly that night.”
Todd Cheney grew up in Brookfield, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, and has lived in the southeastern Wisconsin area all his life.
Cheney wrote his first novel, The Seventh Circle, in the year 2000. He has gone on to complete The Seventh Circle fantasy series consisting of four books: The Seventh Circle, The Rhythm of Nature, Emperors of Darkness and The Soulstone. He is also the author of a science fiction novel titled The Risen.”

Besserwisser: A Novel
Humor, satire, literary
Amazon Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NU5LCW
Multi-format ebook: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/3697
It’s 1990, the Berlin Wall’s fallen, and American slacker Gordy Ford arrives in Munich with barely a roof over his head. Hoping to impress Jane, a hip older German, Gordy carries on a half-baked charade that he’s a top Fulbright scholar. Soon Gordy and his long-lost expat pal Tad stumble onto a historical discovery that seems to invoke the wrath of a shady Neo-Nazi pretender, Hugo, not to mention the recently liberated Russian mafia. But what are they all really after? Each carry secrets and will have to come clean — even when the truth wreaks havoc on guarded love and brittle dreams.
Besserwisser: A Novel (German for “know-it-all wannabes”) offers dark humor, a rowdy plot, and imposters exposed despite their best efforts. There’s farce, satire, and a few lessons learned. It also comes from the heart, since I once was (really was) a Fulbright Research Fellow in Munich.

“Shadowrealm: Tales of the Supernatural”
L. A. Hudson
ISBN-13: 978-0615250236
It was a curse born of tragedy that lingered long after its enemies were destroyed!
In the center of a hundred-fifty-year-old cemetery, a family mausoleum bares the name Ravenhurst. It houses the last remains of that now extinct line within its dark and musty walls. It houses something else as well, a prisoner who has served over a century on a sentence of eternity.
Young Darius Sneed had always been a sucker for peer pressure which mingled with his intense need to be part of the ‘in’ crowd. So when he manages to get ‘in’ with a neighborhood group of thugs he’s eager to do whatever it takes to be initiated.
It’s late October, a Saturday night, and Halloween what could possibly be more appropriate to the venue than a midnight visit to a cemetery?
“The Curse of Ravenhurst,” one of seven stories from “Shadowrealm: Tales of the Supernatural.”

This self help book is designed to teach practical, real life lessons about the meaning of life observed by the author during his brief recovery at a psychiatric hospital in New York. Following medical recovery the author finds himself in a psychiatric hospital which changed his perspective on what really matters in life. This is a truly inspirational, motivational work. Richard R. Blake, writing for Reader Views Magazine, lauded the work as “worthy of wide distribution.” Blake went on to praise the work as “articulate, candid, and relevant”. I think the work is worthy of review because the message is important and the work has a broad spectrum of interest.

After her friend is murdered Katelina is pulled into a world of violence, obsession, betrayal, and most of all vampires.
Whatever killed Katelina’s friend wasn’t human, but if it wasn’t an animal what else could it be? Katelina is about to find out that if you turn over the rock of reality you’ll find monsters underneath it; monsters called vampires.
But what do you do when the “monster” is so beautiful you can’t stop looking at him? Or when he’s your only hope against a coven of vampires that are hunting you because they think you’ve wronged them? Sure, maybe he saved your life, but how can you really trust someone who isn’t human? Katelina has no choice. She has to rely on Jorick to help her escape.
But no matter how far they run, death chases them until their only alternative is to turn around and fight. Trapped between light and dark, the pair must travel down a path of mystery and terror as their pasts are slowly revealed and their passions ignite. To survive, the two allies must join in an ancient power-struggle that could very well decide their futures and the fate of the vampire covens.

My name is Iolanthe (“Lannie”) Woulff. My debut novel, titled SHE’S MY DAD, was published this past November by Outskirts Press, and I’m writing to submit it for your review consideration.
SHE’S MY DAD is the suspenseful tale of a transsexual woman who is forced to overcome unforeseen coincidences and prejudices in order to prove to herself and others the power of love and the redemptive triumph of good over evil. In addition to providing what I hope is an entertaining story, I’ve draw upon my own gender transition to convey through the character of Nickie Farrell a more fully-formed view of the transgendered experience. I’d be very interested in your professional opinion as to how well (or not) I succeeded.
The novel is available on Amazon in hardcover, trade paperback, and Kindle formats. More information (bio, photos, reviews) is available at these links:

Please consider No Greater Sacrifice for review:
http://www.amazon.com/No-Greater-Sacrifice-John-Stipa/dp/1449543502
When terminally-ill archaeologist Renée d’Arcadia is summoned to France to take part in the reading of a will, she is plunged into a maelstrom of deceit and destruction to solve a 100-year-old mystery originating from a sinister church where nothing is as it seems. Renée joins forces with David Arturo, an ex-helicopter pilot with a troubled past, to interpret clues cleverly hidden in tombstones and classic works of literature to find artifacts scattered across Europe. Racing against time, Renée and David must overcome their inner demons to outmaneuver a network of evil bent on destroying them. What they find in each other just might provide answers to some of mankind’s oldest myths.
No Greater Sacrifice is available through Amazon, Barnes&Noble, CreateSpace and Lulu with Lulu providing the best preview function:
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/no-greater-sacrifice/7796894
No Greater Sacrifice is an Indiana Jones-type adventure/thriller that sucks the reader into tunnels and secret chambers. But it is also a story of faith and love between a man and a woman thrown into an impossible situation. Both Renee and David have “issues” that require taking emotional risks if they are to survive. The journey they endure reaching the finale is as important as the climax itself.
Thank you for your consideration.

Utopia For The Devil is a thriller with futuristic elements. It focuses on a utopian society, the themes of temptation, and free-will. I am writing in hope of having the work reviewed.
“A city where crime is low and society is diverse. Everyone leads a moderately happy life, living in bliss as they are not bothered by the consequences made by the leaders of the nation. A city where the boundaries are set clear and firm by the crimson guards who protect the people, and enforce the laws put forth.
But there is one who lives differently.
Leon, a man who has come to see the truth behind the ‘Utopian’ city founded and upheld. Leon understands that because man is flawed, then the utopia created by man is flawed. Not only that, he has a personal vendetta against the state of affairs. Leon can fight, or he can run. Yet there is no escaping the devil that runs deep behind the Utopia.”
Utopia For The Devil was published by Lulu on 1st February 2010. It will be available on Amazon.com in the near future.

Brief Synopsis:
Recovering from a gunshot wound he’d received while in the line of duty, NYPD Detective Mick O’Shaughnessy is in need of some relaxing time away from the big city. A vacation in the peaceful, scenic Bikini Atoll, a scuba diver’s paradise, could be the panacea to heal his wounded leg as well as his shattered nerves. Then again, maybe it isn’t. The Majestic Resort Hotel, unfortunately, does not turn out to be the bastion of tranquility Micko had hoped to enjoy. Immediately upon arrival, Micko inadvertently finds himself dropped in the middle of an international money laundering operation, a territorial feud between the island natives and the resort developers, and an impending mob war between the Russian Mafia and the Japanese Yakuza. If that weren’t nerve-wracking enough, the many years of nuclear testing that had taken place in Bikini Atoll after World War II have had an unusual effect on the sea life in the lagoon—and the freakishly large mutant barracuda who dwells there perceives all scuba-diving tourists as lunch meat.
Barracuda is a fast-paced story in which international intrigue, environmental catastrophe, and the sense of cultural pride collide. Even on vacation, Mick O’Shaughnessy is a detective at heart, and he refuses to fly away from the chaos in this island paradise until all questions are answered and feelings of safety and justice take over the atoll.
The historical significance of the location and the underwater depictions in Barracuda are well researched, with the story incorporating the history of Bikini Atoll in the years after World War II, authentic scuba-diving knowledge, and proper police procedure into its plot, characters, and scenic detail. Barracuda will be enjoyed by readers who appreciate the aquatic action of Jaws, the mob intrigue of The Godfather, and the police procedural sense of The Onion Field.
Sincerely,
Mike Monahan

Synopsis:
Magaia is a world ruled by the powerful and mysterious beings known as the Myshara, who collect various forms of tithes from the three races living on the surface. For centuries, these three races, organized into houses that serve an individual Myshar, have peacefully served their masters. In the mining houses of the north, the most loyal have been granted magical powers by the Myshara, contained within a crown-like artifact known as a nafid.
One such individual is the brash, confident, and loyal Alynna Nolan. When her Myshar sends her to the midlands to scout for a new home for her house, Alynna finds magic being used to steal crops from the farmers of House Barlen in lands where there should be no mages. She is just in time to be the only hope for an entire house powerless to find and stop invisible thieves, and which depend on these crops to offer as tithes to their Myshar. Despite the suspicion of the Barlen, she works to save the house from being destroyed by the Myshara for failing to make their tithes, and she seeks out the thieves and the source of their power.
But that proves to be a dangerous secret, and once discovered, Alynna Nolan and the Barlen must uncover the buried past of their world and the true nature of the Myshara. Once they do, the fate of both the people of Magaia and the Myshara will hang in the balance, and the only hope for both will be in finding a way to prevent history from repeating itself.
Thank you for your consideration.
