Shadow Books

The only problem I had with this book is when I finished it, I wanted more! Perfect blend to "A Port of No Return" McKellar's first in the series. Can't wait for the next one.

This book was a sexy thrilling ride just like the 1st book, "A Port of No Return". A great read!

H. Crosby was one of the rare "wealthy Bohemians" of the 1920's. While DH Lawrence, Joyce, Crane, Hemmingway & others were stuggling to get by in post war Paris, Crosby was at the Ritz sipping gin cocktails, reading Rimbaud, Baudelaire, & Oscar Wilde. His diary, and life reads like an extravagant surrealist paean to the Sun, to Gold, Absinthe, and Art. After almost being killed as an ambulance driver in WW I, Crosby dedicated himself to following his real passions - namely for women, horse racing, drinking, and poetry. He & his wife (see "The Passionate Years" by Caresse Crosby) formed Black Sun Press, and helped establish the above named struggling writers, as well as others. SOS is an intriguing journey into the "mad and extravagant life" of a lesser known, eccentric poet from a lost era, and is an essential work for anyone interested in WW I era writers. I also highly recommend "Black Sun" by G. Wolff, which is a good biography on Harry Crosby and his times. And also, "Devour the Fire", by Sy Kahn, if you can find it, is a rare collection of his poetry.

"Shadows of the Sun" is an extraordinary document from an extraordinary individual. While 1920s Paris conjures up all the usual heroes and cliches, this captivating & unique document offers something altogether different - a wild burst of mystical, poetic euphoria, the fevered voice of a true original. For anyone interested in the literary foundations of Modernism or in that much written about era of literary explosion, Harry Crosby's "Shadows of the Sun" should be required reading.

Cindy has nicely written this collection of poems that are very warm and heartfelt! There are several in her collection that I related to and have shared with family and friends! She is very talented and I'm looking forward to many more of her books!

You see and feel every word that is spoken. I actually had visualization with each and every poem. I really see this writer has an outstanding talent. Keep up the good work.

I know I will enjoy your future writings.

If you've never felt God just wasn't listening, good for you. The rest of us can relate to Rachel, who has reason to be worried and afraid. She is losing her home, her family is in danger, and she believes she was betrayed by the man she loves.
Now she has trouble trusting God, but when she turns to Him, He is there.
Heartwarming and poignant, Mignerey tells a story of love and forgiveness. It's not surprising this book won a Top Pick award from Romantic Times.

This one has a relentless villain, a predictor who plays head games. Shadows of Truths, heroine, Rachel Neesham feels completely victimized, terrified for herself and for her small children and her aging minister father.

She's being threatened, is also in danger of losing her house, and to make matters worse, the man who she believes betrayed her, the man she's in love with, DEA agent Micah McLeod has come back. Will he cast suspicion onto her again, further ruining an already damaged reputation. With all this going on Rachel has lost her faith.

Can Rachel get herself to trust God again? Can she trust McLeod, who seems to never say quite the truth? This is ultimately a story about trust, about love casting out fear. The novel is well written and fast paced. I didn't want to put it down and was sorry when it ended to say good-bye to the characters.

At home in Derry, young Joe Logan is tormented by the demans of his father and all his 'fairytale' stories. The atmosphere in this book is enough on its own to keep you enthralled.

At home in Derry, young Joe Logan is tormented by the demands of his father who was once a hero. This book is a look at Joes life, the good and the bad. The atmosphere of the area around him is enough on its own to be enthralling.

You hate to put it down because you are wondering what will happen next.

In the parts of Orlando where tourists never go, Robert Silencer plies his trade as Central Florida's top private investigator.
Bitter and disillusioned, Silencer had resigned from the DEA two years ago, but now an old friend tries desperately to get him to return. Unable to trust anyone under his own command, William Singleton, the chief administrator of the DEA for all of Florida, begs Silencer to take on one last case.
Reluctantly, Silencer agrees and starts off on a mission to find Kari Kristensen, a Norwegian national who has disappeared on the streets of New York. She alone holds the key for bringing down the Cartel's latest cocaine distribution network.
When Silencer agreed to take on the case, he knew he'd be facing lots of danger. What he didn't count on was falling in love. With a two-million dollar bounty on their heads, Silencer leads Kari on a cross-country odyssey, trying to stay one step ahead of the Cartel's hired assassins. They must track down one of the Cartel's top leaders, a man known only as Labul, and take him out. It's their one and only chance of survival.

Most fly fishermen are artists at heart. This wonderful book does not disappoint. Reneson's watercolors are among the best out there and a perfect complement to Gray's essays. This book will nourish the soul of a fly fisherman on a cold night.

This is both a beautiful (the art of Reneson) and a thoughtful (the writing of Gray) book. It is not a "how to" book, but rather a book to set your mind for a good trip, or to reflect on a past trip. If you can't be there, this is the next best thing.

Ok, since HK got the first review...I get the 2nd!

I actually bought the book for my TMNT collection, and found myself enjoying it! I'm in my 30s, sure it's a kid's level book but it was written well, story made good sense, and I think TMNT fans will enjoy it.
There's a few pages of color artwork as well. The style is original, not a copy of any other style or a hashing of screencaptures, which is impossible cause this isn't a novelisation of an episode. It's an original story.
And yes, its is a little more mature than you'd xpect, like HK says.

Enjoy!

Shadows Over Chinatown may have been written for kids, but the subject matter is a bit more mature than I would have expected (references to alcohol, implied swearing, death). However, I don't think it's too grown up for the 9-12yrs age group, with a little parental discretion.

The book is, overall, really well-written. I discovered a couple of awkward type-os, but I guess that's to be expected in any book. The sentence structure and choice of words is intelligent enough that older children won't feel silly reading it, giving the book that much more range in its readership.

Even adult TMNT fans will get a kick out of this one, and I should know. At 21 years of age, I still found this book very entertaining, and quite hard to put down.

Overall: It rocks!

This book was the best out of the Stonewycke Legacy! The action was fast paced and the charactars enthralling. You can really see how the charactar of Logan and Allison deepen and grow.

Reading outside of my usual genre and by a first time author at that I received an early Christmas gift. A wonderful story and it is well told. If you love romance and Nicolas Sparks, this book will provide a delightful treat for you. I recommend that you start it on the week-end because you won't want to put it down.

The Shadows Whisper is a spellbinding novel that is impossible to put down until its conclusion! The storyline is enticing and suspenseful, and the insight into peoples' motivations and makes the novel even more captivating.
