Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Women Sleuths, Thrillers, Suspense

A ugust, 1944, Prague is where the story begins with a seemingly casual exchange of information. But in wartime, is any act, any one thing, trivial? Decades later, in contemporary Chicago, the consequences emerge through the medium of television. Documentary filmmaker Ellie Foreman gets a letter prompted by the success of her show “Celebrate Chicago.” One viewer was the elderly Ben Sinclair. When he suddenly dies, his landlady Mrs. Fleischman finds Ellie’s name among his effects and writes to her. Ellie, who hasn’t a clue about a connection to Ben, is curious. And she agrees to help dispose of Ben Sinclair’s possessions. She became a filmmaker to help people tell their stories. The books and wartime relics Ben left behind–will they be enough to tell his?

All too soon, Mrs. Fleischman dies. Then Ben’s things are stolen from Ellie’s suburban home. The single mom, working to move past her ex, doesn’t know what to think. But she has to scramble for work and is soon embroiled in producing a campaign video for a steel magnate running for a Republican seat in the Illinois Senate. Despite these distractions, Ellie stays focused on her odd link to the dead man and turns to her father, a retired lawyer with deep roots in Chicago’s Jewish community, for insights into the mystery of Ben Sinclair. In time, a terrifying scenario develops that reaches back into several pasts. From the political present of the North Shore to the buried memories of the city’s ethnic neighborhoods, the components of Ben’s story eventually merge into an explosive climax.

AN EYE FOR MURDER is the sequel to the author’s award-winning short story “The Day Miriam Hirsch Disappeared.” EYE was nominated for an Anthony Award for Best First when it was released; it also won the Best First Readers’ Choice Award.

Take No More (The murder mystery thriller) (James Blake #1) by Seb Kirby

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Crime

Nothing like a murder to get the blood flowing

When James Blake discovers his wife has been murdered in their London home, he is determined to find her killer. Julia, a conservator – a protector and preserver of fine art – has left him with just two clues: the words help me on her mobile phone and a strange attachment of Michelangelo’s Leda and the Swan.
As the prime suspect of his wife’s murder, James flees England and sets out on a trail of deception and danger across the sweeping landscapes of Venice and Florence into a dark underworld of corruption, a trail that will lead him to the killer – and the shocking truth behind the mystery.

Please note! Regret No More, the second in the James Blake thriller series, is out now and is available at the special launch price of $2.99 / £1.99.

From the reviews of Take No More:

‘Memorable characters with murder, organised crime, Italy and art….’

‘Kirby has an intimate knowledge of Florence, Venice and all things Italian…. ‘

‘There is much to admire about Seb Kirby’s knowledge of the art world and there’s plotting and deceit in the criminal underworld to contend with too.’

‘The writing gives you the feel of actually being in Italy – you can taste it and smell it..’

‘Set mostly in Florence, you will wander the streets with James as he tries to track down the murderer of his wife.’

‘Intricate, rich in setting and details….’

‘London and Florence were handled very well to add richness to the novel, alongside the author’s obvious love and knowledge of the art world’

‘Set in Florence, Venice and London, not only is it an artful murder mystery but a lot of the subject matter concerning the old classics and their history is based on fact.’

‘I was attracted by the fragile serenity of the image on the front cover.’

‘I enjoyed the setting in Italy and I liked the way the murder mystery linked around the main topic.’

‘I really liked the main character, James Blake and his fearless pursuit of the truth.’

‘I loved the inclusion of a more modern evil …. along with the search for lost classic art and the romantic tale of James Blake, who loved his wife very much…’

‘Take great art of the Italian Renaissence, throw in a 21st century crime family reminiscent of the Borgias, a trace of darkness, a lot of murder and you have a good read for a rainy day….’

‘Mystery and the arts – a great combo. The art world depiction was fascinating…. Made me want to visit the Louvre again.’

The Boy who Lit up the Sky (The Two Moons of Rehnor) by J. Naomi Ay

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Epic, Series, Science Fiction

L ydia Kalila, the Princess Royal of Mishnah, is forced into marriage with the son of her country’s mortal enemy for the sole purpose of producing an heir. Duty comes before personal choice for a princess especially when her country has been at war for more than a thousand years. Lydia’s pregnancy removes her brother and new husband from their respective lines of succession placing her yet unborn infant at the head of the both queues. No one is happy about this, especially Lydia who dies during childbirth from wounds caused by the talon-like toenails of her very strange newborn son.

Grief stricken at the loss of his daughter, the Mishnese King hastily sends Senya, his infant grandson off to a decrepit inner city orphanage with the intent to retrieve him much later when things got sorted out. At the orphanage, Senya is protected by the invalid Sister Meri who instantly falls in love with the little fellow. She’s not bothered at all by his strange telekinetic and telepathic powers, flickering pupil-less silver eyes or wicked clawed toenails. The House Father takes a shine to the lad too and when Senya is six years old, he is summoned to the Father’s chamber. The Father ends up in flames forcing Meri and Senya out into a snow storm running for their lives.

Thus begins the tale of Senya, a prince created to be king of a planet but then tossed aside until his twelfth birthday when Lt. Taner, a Royal Guard detective is sent to retrieve him. It is unclear to all whether Senya is the product of something good or something evil but in either case, it is very apparent that he is something more than just Lydia Kalila’s son.

It is 1984, the year of the Los Angeles Olympics, and Merle sees herself as a latter-day Aphrodite, goddess of love. She plans to remain young for however long it takes for her to ascend a pantheon of Hollywood idols and be worshipped as a goddess.

So much for loving thy neighbor and walking in love–she begins to belittle and insult him.

However, things are about to become interesting. Seeing him over the next few weeks, Ramona engages him in brief conversations, and learns his name is GARY DAVIDSON. From their very first encounter, she has no idea just how much he would affect her world and shatter her preconceived notions. She begins to question her heart and walk with God, facing her hurts and disappointments.

They say pride comes before a fall… so, watch out! One afternoon spent in an abandoned lot with a reverend and homeless people compel her to reevaluate the Christian values she previously prided herself on having. Now she’s forced to see how cruel and hurtful she has been to so many people and ask for forgiveness while finding love for herself. MAYBE. PG/ PG-13

“ Five beautiful stars for Miss Me Not.”–Bestselling Author, Tara Sivec-Seduction and Snacks, Futures and Frosting, Troubles and Treats.

“Well worth reading! While the subject matter is intense, it isn’t in any way graphic, and is suitable for teen audiences (I wouldn’t have any problem with my daughter reading this).”–Bestselling Author, Charles Sheehan-Miles-Just Remember to Breathe, A Song for Julia.

“Miss Me Not was a very, very well-written, heartfelt story. King’s writing is practically flawless. And though the story begins in a tragic place, and has many sad moments, it is also hopeful, and uplifting. Miss Me Not is not to be missed.”–The Bookish Babe.

“It was the perfect balance of all elements, Drama, Love, Conflict and Tragedy. I loved the way Madison overcame her demons and came out stronger for it. You don’t stay in one situation for too long and Miss Me Not really brought that fact to light. I highly recommend you give this book a try because like me, you WILL NOT REGRET IT!”–Globug & Hootie Need a Book.

When fate intervenes and partners her with Dean Jackson, a popular “all around good guy” from school, Madison gets a glimpse of a life that is filled with sunshine that has the power to break through the darkness she has cloaked herself in.
With Dean’s help, Madison discovers a desire to finally step out of the shadows, and embrace life and all its gifts.

Unsung Giant by Jennifer Pendon

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Epic, World Literature, Mythology

S ince dawn of humankind’s awareness, we have recorded history in the form of drawings and writings, developing habits of storytelling to express what we see. Though what man sees and how he interprets are not always the same.

Loki, Asgardian god of Norse mythology, known as the God of Mischief and Trickery, is victim of historical and literary misconception – one who is pictured as a god who loves to wreak havoc and leave behind strings of misfortune. Unsung Giant is a story to lay all wrong accounts to rest.

Unsung Giant is a tale of an unlikely Asgardian hero, torn between doing what his mischievous
ways demand, and what is expected of him, being the son of a King. Loki, since gianthood, has always been branded as one who does not think for the good of others. The Nine Worlds, including our own, are on the brink of destruction, and only one can bring about salvation.

What would you do, if the power was in your hands? “Loki has both the Mjollnir and the teningur lifsins; two very powerful weapons he could keep and use for his own purposes. The thought of wielding such power is very enticing, even for one who has a strong resolve.”

As the book goes, “Even the All-Father could not help but beam at his younger son’s impulsive nature. Well, Loki would not be Loki if he became insipidly predictable.” Loki and Thor’s filial affiliation are finally put to the test, from birth through to Ragnarok, end of the Nine Worlds, as we discover the true nature of this misunderstood giant.

Correcting Facial Flaws – And Other Photo Tips! (On Target Photo Training) by Dan Eitreim

Genre(s): Arts & Photography, Photography, Portraits

R evised and expanded edition!

Here in Volume 19 of “On Target Photo Training” we delve into correcting facial flaws – in the camera – by the way we pose and light our subjects.

Then we take everything we’ve been learning – tie it all together and start trying to develop our own personal style.

There are many professionals out there where as soon as we see a photo they’ve done, we immediately recognize who the photographer was. As artists, this is a goal we should all strive to achieve.

It’s vitally important to know the rules before you break them. Once you are comfortable with the way things normally “should” be done, then you can go your own way and start adding your own creativity and personality into the mix.

“Building A Portrait” starts at the very beginning with something as simple as deciding on what to call your photo’s shape and goes all the way through advanced concepts. You are unlikely to ever find a more thorough grounding in portrait photography techniques!

Beauty – This section is a bit more esoteric! Just what is beauty? You can’t effectively show beauty in your portraits if you don’t know what it IS. In this section we will examine what makes us think one person is beautiful and another isn’t. These concepts are hardwired in us – and people respond!

In the “Problem Area Fixes” section, we learn how to correct for physical flaws and make our subjects look like a million bucks! Just because someone has a crooked nose, one eye larger than another, and is covered by acne – it’s no reason why YOU can’t get a good portrait! In fact, you will look for challenges like this because they are fun!
