    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:

    1. Pending Consideration – This simply means that not all reviewers have had a chance to go through the process of determining whether they would like the book to consider for review.
    2. Under Consideration – A reviewer has selected the book to take a more in depth look at the book, with the expectation of reviewing the selection. Note: This does not mean the book will definitely be reviewed, but that based on the preview, we felt a spark of interest and wanted to read more.
    3. Being Read
    4. – Self-explanatory.

    5. Review Scheduled – The book has been reviewed and is awaiting a scheduled date to post.

    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.

    Megan’s Way is my debut novel and can be viewed here (Amazon):

    http://www.amazon.com/Megans-Way-Melissa-Foster/dp/1432744429/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250004380&sr=8-1

    ISBN: 978-1-4327-4442-7

    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.

    “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.”

  6. Carol Townsend

    “Who Stole Nan’s Knickers?” is my second effort, which is a collection of short, mostly humorous anecdotes gleaned from the musty, dusty depths of my memory banks. They are all mainly true, with the possible execption of one, which may have a grain of truth buried in it somewhere. Which one do you think it is?

    Do have a look. It’s only a short tome, so will not take up too much of your valuable time.

    And did someone really steal my grandmother’s knickers?

    Title: Dead Forever: Awakening
    Author: William Campbell
    Genre: Sci-Fi / Adventure
    ISBN: 978-0-9717960-2-7 (Trade softcover. Hardcover and ebooks also available.)
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0971796025/
    POD printer: Lightning Source
    Book website with sample chapters: http://www.deadforever.com

    Brief synopsis:

    Imagine a world where death is merely an inconvenience. A new body awaits, and we resume living, fully aware of the past. Every talent, love and distaste is retained, from one life to the next. But this immortal paradise has a price–eternal life as slaves, oppressed by masters who forbid individuality, creative expression, and free thinking.

    A band of rebels refuses to surrender their freedom, and these misfits have no place in a world that enforces social harmony. But for a population that reincarnates, the conformist rulers are powerless to eliminate insurgents. Putting them to death is useless. The rebels will return, again and again.

    The final solution is devised–perpetual amnesia. Kill all memory of past lives. Identity erased, origin unknown, and destiny uncertain, the rebels are banished to a lonely corner of the galaxy and left for dead, forever.

    Having suffered the enemy’s amnesia by design, a reluctant hero awakens under a bridge, and without a past, he regards himself as insignificant. But he is not the loser he imagines, as he learns when agents in black come to collect him. His decision to flee begins a journey of rediscovery, but some of it he would rather leave buried. He must face his past, and take charge of the future, or the rest of his immortal kind are destined to share his fate–Dead Forever.


    You should pick my book to review because it demonstrates that POD self-publishing can equal the quality of books produced by traditional publishers.

    Title: The Path to Tyranny: A History of Free Society’s Descent into Tyranny

    Publisher: Eleftheria Publishing
    # ISBN-10: 0982604009
    # ISBN-13: 978-0982604007

    Western civilization is risking the return of tyranny by increasing the size and scope of government. Throughout history, free societies descended into tyranny when their populations realized they can use the power of government to give themselves benefits at the expense of others. The Path To Tyranny examines how and why each of these free societies descended into tyranny and evaluates the current prospects for the United States.

  9. Ashley Evans (for author Ron Mattocks)

    I am contacting you in order to seek a review for the recently released book, Sugar Milk: What One Dad Drinks When He Can’t Afford Vodka (ISBN 978-1-4502-0401-9 / iUniverse) written by, Ron Mattocks. His book is a series of vignettes outlining his transition from working as a corporate executive to becoming a stay-at-home dad after being laid off. This of course is a very timely topic with unemployment rates well over ten percent and estimates of at-home dads above 2 million. In fact, NPR ran a feature today (3/24) on “Morning Edition” about stay-at-home dads re-entering the workforce (“Stay-at-home Dads Grapple With Going Back to Work” http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125057317).

    “Sugar Milk” has already earned mentions in Reuters News and the Globe and Mail along with endorsements from experts that include Jeremy Adam Smith, a noted stay-at-home dad authority and author of “The Daddy Shift” (also included in today’s NPR broadcast). “Sugar Milk” has already sold nearly five hundred copies internationally over the course of a two-week limited release period. The full release is scheduled for the 30th of March, and Mr. Mattocks will begin his book tour starting April 10th in his boyhood home of Pennsylvania.

    Mr. Mattocks is a freelance writer with a degree in English Literature from St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas. His work has appeared in a number of parenting publications, he he writes for one of the top twenty daddy-blogs in the country, Clark Kent’s Lunchbox (http://clarkkentslunchbox.blogspot.com/). Mr. Mattocks is also a regular contributor to Houston Family Magazine.

    If you and/or your reviewer(s) are interested in reading “Sugar Milk,” I will send a copy per LL Book Review’s instructions. Both a sample excerpt of the and sample chapter are available through the official website (http://www.sugarmilkbook.com/2009/07/book-excerpt.html). If there is more information I can provide or questions I can answer, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you soon, Ms. Yarbrough. Thank you, greatly for considering “Sugar Milk” for a potential review.

    Title: One Six Billionth
    Author: Kaitlyn Jane Mauro
    Currently published with LuLu and CreateSpace
    ISBN: 1450551696

    Synopsis (from the back cover):
    ‘I live in snapshots and polaroid pictures. Everything will be exposed in time – hues, textures, and motivations like ghosts of the present tense. These memories are embroidered and tinted, complete with awkward pauses and distracted glances but my words are genuine. It’s time to let it go.

    In the end, none of it really matters. It’s the way people still try in the face of this fact that makes them so beautiful.

    We scream our lungs out to feel alive but let’s try to speak in whispers, just this once.’

    Genre: Creative Nonfiction/Memoir in Short Stories

    My book is also available from Amazon, Barnes and Nobel, and CreateSpace.

    Titles: Norman & The Stinking Space Goo ISBN 978-0-6151-5141-0
    Skunk-Guy: The Sensational Slime Saga ISBN 978-0-615-25500-2

    Author: Michael Wilhelm

    These are the first two volumes in a new sci-fi comedy series of
    novels about an adolescent superhero dubbed Skunk-Guy.
    Norman Flinch is a kid with a very special imagination, and an addiction to
    comic books. After accidentally plowing his lawnmower into a strange space orb,
    Norman finds himself reeking with a very nasty stench. Overwhelmed and
    overwrought he befriends Wendell Higgins, a junior science prodigy, in an
    attempt to find a cure.
    Norman and his family struggle to make the best of an outrageous
    situation. Until, finally, Norman comes to realize that he has been given a
    wonderful gift. He discovers that he can control the odor to make himself smell
    like anything.
    Fueled by his boundless imagination and inspired by his beloved comic books,
    Norman creates his own alter ego. Donning cape and tights he launches a career
    in law and odor, as none other than, Skunk-Guy: The Stinking Stalker.
    In volume two, Norman discovers that being a superhero in Fort Wayne, Indiana
    during the 1970’s is not as easy as he first thought. He’s attacked by a
    girl-scout troupe and gets walloped by a woman he tried to rescue, as well as
    enduring the scorn of the Police Department.
    On top of that a strange gloppy creature slithers up from below the streets out
    of the sewer and lumbers into town disrupting the city’s Three Rivers
    Festival. Oddly enough this walking goo pile and Skunk-Guy share an astonishing
    secret.

    Published through Lulu these two novels are available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target as well as the Lulu website. Previews of each book are available through my Lulu storefront at: http://stores.lulu.com/michaelww

    This series is targeted to young readers 8-13. However I have had older readers tell me that they found the humor genuine, and that the characters were very enduring. You can learn more about The Stinking Stalker at the official Skunk-Guy website.

    Like my unusual name I bring forth an unusual book: “Take It Easy – Untangling The Internet.” Hopefully it will be the start of a set of guides for adults and seniors about how to use new technologies.

    This book, as oppose to most technical guides, is plain and simple, especially written for adults with no prior Internet and computer experience and knowledge of technical lingo. It is a short book (66 half-pages) that teaches and practices the basics of Internet browsing. It is different from any other computer “how-to” book because it widely covers the different aspects of the Internet without drilling into the boring technical details. And it conveys it all in a literary flow that is so rarely found in computer manuals.

    An online preview of the first chapter is available at the website: http://www.takeiteasyseries.com/i.
    The book is self-published.

    Thank you for your consideration,
    Ohad Kravchick.

    My book (well, actually, my cat’s book) is now out on Amazon and through other distribution channels.

    The book, by Roscoe Watkins, chronicles his greatest year on the FGA (Feline Golf Association) Tour, 1998. In 1998, Roscoe was 12 and generally considered the greatest cat golfer of all time. Having accomplished his goals, he is contemplating retirement. However, he is goaded to postpone his retirement by a loud-mouthed, trash-talking, media-loving 3 year old from Japan, Ichiro Nakamura, who has proclaimed himself the world’s greatest golfer and advised Roscoe to stay home and take naps.

    There’s a lot more to the book, but it is funny, a bit of a send up of the golf tour (from a cat’s point of view of course), and has a classic rivalry between the established veteran (will a love of the game and respect for his opponents) and a brash young newcomer.

    The website for the book is http://www.greatestcatgolfer.com.

    If you would like to review it, please respond, and I will be delighted to get a review copy out to you promptly.

    Regards.

    Synopsis:
    To Chicago Trib reporter Miles Fischer, it was just another rape and murder trial, until the two convicted felons are found dead from a crossbow, in the muddy parking lot of a rundown bar just days after their surprising acquittal. His curiosity turns to suspicion after searching the archives where he discovers two more cases similar to the one in Tweeksbury. Is it a coincidence? Miles doesn’t think so. In fact, he believes he knows who the killer is after a chance encounter. Miles draws the ire of the FBI and becomes tight-lipped when confronted to disclose what he knows. He wants the story and the glory that goes with it, and believes he is the only one who can identify the killer. He sets his sights on Seattle and creates a game of cat-and-mouse with the FBI and an ex-cop turned private investigator. What Miles and the private investigator don’t realize is just how deadly this game is about to become.

    Why review my book?
    Excellent plot, characterization, dialogue, and great reviews.

    Reason for review:
    On April 1, 2010, ‘Angel’s Destiny: A Novel Story of Poems & Illustrations’
    received two ‘Certificates of Honor. #1) Board of Supervisors City and County of San Francisco’ penned by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi – Dist.-5 and #2) Mayor Gavin Newsom, San Francisco, CA. Also, it is my first book of illustrations infused by a poetic novel format that allows people to investigate the topic of violence, healing, and adversity in a palatable manner.

    ‘Angel’s Destiny: A Novel Story of Poems & Illustrations’ by April Martin Chartrand (2009 paperback 152 pages/48 illustrations) – ISBN 0615302513 / 9780615302515

    About the Book:
    “Similar to novel style chapters, each advances you from one stage of life’s emotions to another. This collection of poems & illustrations mimics a novel in an unexpected way – similarly, it tells an emotional plot of a character which interweaves the four emotion elements Illusions, Anger, Awareness, Love – progressing forward towards a healing resolve. Each emotional character takes the reader through a progressive journey of a multi-cultural women’s self-discovery . . . far away from adversity.”

    Shadow of the Sun is the first book in the Timeless Series of books.

    Gabriella’s past is a mystery, but that never stopped her from achieving her goals. As a supernatural specialist, and far more intelligent than anyone her age, she has always been ignored by her peers. Because of the isolation she has always felt, she put her life and soul into her job. Being a supernatural specialist hasn’t given her the divine intervention she always longed for, until one day a shipment arrives from Italy containing three dead bodies with an uncanny ability to regenerate. Gabriella is frightened and intrigued, but not as scared as she becomes when a dark creature attacks her.

    As the bodies come back to life, the plot takes an unexpected twist that you won’t see coming. The supernatural world only begins to unfold before her as angels appear, her dreams start to haunt her, and the very past she has forgotten comes back with startling clarity. Romance blooms, escape plans are made, an assassin is out to kill her, and death is only around the corner. But what is more terrifying than all of it is the fact she is the chosen one, the Illuminator, the one who will save them all.

    The book was published with iUniverse (ISBN-10: 1450211755
    # ISBN-13: 978-1450211758) and you can read the first chapter on http://www.LauraKreitzer.com

    Shadow of the Sun is also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Sun-Timeless-Book-One/dp/1450211755/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1

    Laura and the team want to see her book on B&N shelves and we need even more amazing reviews than we already have to get it done. Please give Shadow of the Sun a shot! You won’t be sorry.

The main character is not allowed out and gradually begins to trust her kidnapper so when the opportunity surges for her to escape she must decide what she loves more; her freedom or a life with her kidnapper and music. The internal battle that she faces makes it a very hard decision especially because she ends up falling in love with her kidnapper.

    This book is directed to Young Adults and young musicians. The word count is 100,000 words. The title of my book is A Barred Window. I have always had a passion for music and writing; I believe that other young adult musicians will be able to relate to the struggles that the main character faces. We all know that part of growing up is being able to make wise decisions and for that I believe strongly in my book. Sometimes we have to be able to draw the line especially when making life changing decisions and the main character doesn’t know if these lines are keeping her safe or if these lines are restraining her.
