The Walls Of Flemington
by Juliette Rogasik Adelene’s world is one of tranquility, luxury, beauty and youth. Yet beyond the manicured lawns, the ponds and trees, there stand the rigid Walls that lock out the black void of Outer Space. Aboard the vast Inceptum Fidelis, a generational spaceship bound to colonize another planet, there is no poverty, no war, no crime. Some have seen the Earth they left behind, some will see the Faraway World, and others—like sixteen-year-old Adelene—will know neither. They are the honored Middle Generation, sacrificed for the sake of humanity. The journey will last 150 years. Escape is unfathomable, and the mere thought of it, seditious. Erased from all memory sources by the totalitarian regime on the ship, every relic and information from the past is treasured in secrecy. As Adelene emerges out of the perfect childhood crafted for her, the dark secrets lurking behind the ship’s seemingly flawless society begin to surface, and curiosity soon plunges her and her group of friends into a series of dangerous events and horrid truths. |

God’s Tissues
by Eyal Sabag Eyal Sabag is one of the most sought-out coaches and motivational speakers in Israel. Here he provides a “hindsight” glimpse into his unbelievable life, revealing his story of transformation: from almost complete disability (caused by cerebral palsy at birth) to a lifetime of fulfillment and self-realization. As Eyal often advises, “if I can do it, so can you!” At the age of 24, after enduring years of self pity, needy reliance on others, insecurity, and a strong belief that his life is just a product of one case of very bad luck, Eyal found another way to live. On this new path, which he calls “From Disable to Able,” Eyal has learned how to use the seemingly magical power of the subconscious, positive thinking, and imagination; all of which opened the door to a brand new world: one in which he retook control over his choices and actions in life. Eyal now leads a life enriched by taking practical and responsible actions. He says he has never felt happier, stronger, or more whole. Through a deep inner perspective, enhanced by a light and humoristic approach to life in the face of hardships, in this book Eyal provides you with a set of practical tools that allow you to go from a “fixation state-of-mind” to spiritual, mental and physical prosperity and freedom. |

Loving The Doctor, Box Set Two
by Bobby Hutchinson Addicted to HOUSE, PRIVATE PRACTICE AND CHICAGO HOPE? What readers say about: DRASTIC MEASURES: (avid reader Sue Walter says) This was my first read of Bobby Hutchinson and it will not be my last. It became evident to me right from the beginning of the story that this is a seasoned author who has a passion for writing and has really honed her skill. All of the characters are well designed and engaging, from my favorite, Cameron, to his “beautiful lady”, Alex, and all of the supporting characters in between. There are a few very descriptive action scenes that I found were easy to picture in my mind. I could feel the tension in parts of the story which I absolutely love. The story is about the conflicting relationship between Cameron (who I quickly identified with) and his wife, Alex, and their struggle with career choices and the inadvertent toll it takes on their marriage. There are sensual and erotic love scenes, but they are tastefully done and I enjoyed reading them aloud to my wife before bed. The love scenes really brought the passion the characters felt to life while leaving just enough to the imagination to keep me glued to my Kindle (I stayed up way too late finishing it). DOUBLE JEOPARDY: (LISA says) This book by Bobby Hutchinson really delves into the relationship they share, and in this case it’s not always a good one. One twin has an accident and needs extensive plastic surgery, and she falls in love with the surgeon – who wants to get to know her twin sister. I loved the complicated family problems and the hero, who has issues of his own to work out. As always, the characters in Double Jeopardy are complex and their relationships go way beyond what is usually found in a romance. I love Bobby Hutchinson’s books. PICKING CLOVER: (Carolyn says) Bobby’s ‘arenas’ for her stories are often surprising but the outcome is the ‘right one’. I highly recommend all of her books! NURSING THE DOCTOR: (reader forever says) This is the first time I read a novel by this author. I love it so much I’ll be looking for all her books. She has such an engaging writing style that makes the story flow naturally. The characters are appealing and so natural. I could “hear” and “see” them while reading.

My Emily
by Matt Patterson This book tells the story of a hurting family, an amazing little girl and a mysteriously faithful God. Emily wasn’t born perfect – so one might think. She was born with Down Syndrome and many would jump to the conclusion that she would have very little hope for a life with any significance. Two years later came the diagnosis of leukemia. What little hope remaining turned to no hope whatsoever – or so one might think. The life of this little girl, with all its perceived imperfections, had great meaning. Her loving nature and courage touched the hearts of everyone she met. She also taught them how to value their own lives – even with their many “imperfections.” Note: A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will help families with special needs children, those who are battling pediatric cancers, as well as parents grieving the loss of a little one. |

Castigo Cay
by Matthew Bracken Dan Kilmer is a former Marine sniper in his early thirties. He returned home from military service in the Middle East and gave college a try, but his combat experiences prevented him from fitting into campus life. In a South Florida boatyard, his uncle was attempting to refurbish an old cargo schooner, and Dan left college to help him finish the flagging project. After two years of work but before the sixty-foot boat was relaunched, his uncle fell from a scaffold and died. While still in his twenties, Dan inherited the schooner Rebel Yell. Soon after, he left the United States to embark on a series of voyages, mostly in pursuit of beautiful women and good times. While he was away from America, new federal taxes were imposed on luxury property, including privately owned yachts. Dan cannot pay these or other new taxes, so he can’t return to the States without risking confiscation of his schooner. Instead he must always fly under official radar and earn a living by his wits while staying one step ahead of the IRS and other government agencies. He must navigate the reefs of government control while always searching for a way to make money without the permission of the local authorities. This usually requires some type of shady dealing, subterfuge, and stealing from thieves as Dan moves from port to port. |
