Reviews
“Pardu S. Ponnapalli, an IT specialist with a doctorate in physics, has devised ingenious and potentially world-changing ways to improve things. Many of Ponnapalli’s essays are intellectually challenging, short, well written and entertaining.” – Patty Sutherland, Foreword Clarion Review June 2011

“Ponnapalli’s crazy (impulsive, but fun and thought provoking) ideas cover some timely and popular topics; U.S debt and defecit, overweight, stock market, space exploration, alternative energies, cat litter and more. The book is easy to read.” – Recommended & Reviewed in The Mindquest Review of Books, by Lightword Publishing, August 2011

“The essays were well-written and mostly thought through. Based on his personal experience, they were enlightening and at times, laughable. More importantly, they make the reader take the time to think about our future, ponder on the problems, and look for the solutions we need.” – Teri Davis, BestSellersWorld.com, July, 2011

“Some of my fondest memories of university were those informal gab sessions in the common room. Just a Bunch of Crazy Ideas reminds me of those times.”Just a Bunch of Crazy Ideas presents some good ideas and some not so good ideas. Take them as you will. Laugh at them or be inspired by them.” – Tami Brady, TCM Reviews, July 22, 2011
“The act of brainstorming can result in new ideas and surprising results. The author ends each chapter with the words, “Discuss and enjoy!” That is exactly what the reader of this “bunch of crazy ideas” will do.” – Libby Grandy, The US Review of Books

In 1969 Amidst The Civil Rights Movement & The Vietnam War, Baseball Saved Brad Williams Life – J Mark Hart’s Fielder’s Choice … Watch Book Trailer Here!

Here’s the set-up:

In 1969 Brad Williams thought baseball might save his life..if he wasn’t shipped off to Vietnam. That he spring he desperately needed a college baseball scholarship to escape a dreary future of working in Birmingham’s gritty steel mills.. Just when things were looking up, violence shattered his neighborhood and tested his conscience. The time came to choose sides. He could keep his dreams if he played it safe.. But should he? An agonizing choice for one so young.

5-Star Amazon Reviews

Anyone who grew up in the South in the late 60’s amidst the turmoil of the Vietnam War and Civil Rights will find Mark Hart’s book a must read. He has captured both the conflict between being a loyal American and an anti-war activist and the impact of civil rights on the students of the 60’s in an imaginative and compelling way through high school sports and puppy love. Having grown up in Birmingham in the 60’s, I understood the challenges facing his central characters and the different ways they chose to cope with the stresses of the times. I highly recommend this book to anyone who understands what it is like to be facing not only the end of a sports career, but the end of your life.”

“I love the way Mark Hart writes. “Fielder’s Choice” is a gem of a book. I couldn’t stop turning pages once I started reading it and the characters stayed in my consciousness after I finished. The novel is clearly a labor of love, but the author’s attention is fixed on more than the satisfaction of stringing together words in a way that tells his story artfully and well. He knows his subject and he wants his cast of characters to succeed, not only the teenage baseball players who dare to reach beyond their individual comfort zones, but the city of Birmingham itself. Baseball is life’s parallel in this story. As Brad and Robbie’s baseball team struggles to integrate on its way to fight for the state championship, Birmingham is struggling to overcome prejudice and fear in the heated battles to gain civil rights and put an end to brutality in the 1960s. Most Alabamians will find something to stir them in this book, but any reader will recognize the overarching themes of decency and humanity. If you love to read, you should treat yourself to this gem of a book too.”

From The Author

The next year John Lennon sang, “The dream is over.”  And it was.

The Sixties movement died.  You knew it when the rednecks grew long hair.  We didn’t change the world like we thought.  But then again, it wasn’t the same world.
Along with the sixties passed the hope for a quick end to the war and more tragedy lay ahead-on the college campuses and in the rice paddies.
Writing Fielder’s Choice brought back so many memories of my upbringing.  I was fortunate to have such a strong solid family that could be my sounding board.  It was easier to stand up for what you believe.  The New South and all that comes with it is a great place to be, a wonderful place to raise a family and enjoy our unique culture.  Yet even now, when people move in from out of state and say Birmingham is a good place to live, a good place to raise a family, their kind words always surprise me.  I must expect them to say something else, it must be that weight.

Here's the set-up:
It all started with a Girl's Getaway Weekend in Sedona, Arizona...

It's been a year since Jennifer Ellis's ex-husband left her for a much younger woman and Jennifer still hasn't dated. Now turning 40, Jennifer wonders if she'll ever find love again. So Jennifer's best-friend, Melanie Malone, books them on a Girl's Getaway in picturesque Sedona, Arizona in hopes of inspiring Jennifer to have a vacation fling.

Jennifer gets more than she bargained for when she meets the ruggedly handsome 29-year old tour Jeep guide, Cody Miller, and the two begin a passionate romance. What Jennifer doesn't know is that Cody has a secret past that not only threatens to destroy their new love but also expose a tragic event from Jennifer's past that she has tried desperately to forget.
One Reviewer Notes:
Another Wow for Dakota Madison with her book, Still Fine At Forty. With her witty dialogue and excellent character description, she sends you into a world where you discover that anything is possible, especially the ability to find love again when you've thought that ship may have sailed. I absolutely love the idea she has shared with us, that love and attraction to a younger man or woman is not only possible for the older man but for the older woman as well. Great read Dakota.

Charlie was a ghost hunter who didn’t really believe in ghosts, but he believed in the effect being a ghost hunter had on girls. He thought he had perfected the ultimate pick up line, “I’m a ghost hunter.” All that came crashing down when he met his soul mate…a ghost.
One night while photographing an old Victorian mansion, he was startled to meet the ghost of Anne Meux. She died in 1970 at age 85. She was now only 25 and beautiful. Charlie was soon engulfed in a riveting conversation. Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing in her old room?

Liquid fire poured into me, filling me with the intimate sense of him as he leaned in to claim my lips with his own. I reached for him, needing him closer, needing to feel his flesh against mine, but my arms couldn’t close the distance between us, which grew wider with each hitched breath. So close to finally feeling something real, something carnal and deep, I cried out in frustration, dropping my hands as he disappeared. My cries deepened into a frenzy of panic and my eyes flew open. I clutched my blanket and stilled myself to calm my racing heart.

Neogothic

by Anthony Jerome Brown

5.0 stars – 4 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

Here’s the set-up:

In Neogothic, a Fantasy novella, Rob, a recovering addict turned counselor falls – yet again – into shadow…as New York’s underworld surfaces at the nexus of three planes of existence…and a Demon Lord is pitted against an alliance of humans and Belladoran races – fairies, elves, halflings, dwarves and dragons – in possession of a powerful malevolent relic…and they bet their lives the horrendous maw of malice will self-devour.

Reviews

“A very enjoyable novella.  Well-written with a whole host of fascinating, fun characters.  At once you’re thrown into a very layered fantasy world.  It did take a while to wrap my head around what was going on, but it’s a quick, easy read.  Fantastic world-building with a vivid back history and a satisfying conclusion, with a nice coda that could possibly lead to a sequel.” – Library Thing

“I really enjoyed it! Neogothic is an exciting, evocative tale within the Fantasy genre! The sub-story of the creation of Hades and the magical world of Belladora, as well as fairies, elves, dwarves, halflings, dragons and demons is reminiscent of Tolkien.” – Amazon Customer Review

“Interesting and lively read. Hero seems like a film noir detective who got lost in the Fantasy genre. Highly recommended.” – Amazon Customer Review

About The Author

I am the author of the Fantasy novella, Neogothic. I live in NYC with my wife, two daughters, and two cats. I have a B.A. in Psychology from Oberlin College, an M.S.W. from Yeshiva University, and a J.D. from Rutgers University. My website is: http://www.anthonyjeromebrown.webs.com.

In the second installment of the five part Seven Point Eight series, the legacy of the OOBE project weighs heavily on the conscience of Dr. Paul Eldridge. Tahra Mamoun needs to muster all her courage and venture back into the alternate dimensions of reality. Only she can save the recruits from their private heaven or hell. Through a series of challenging, surreal, yet exciting adventures, she comes to comprehend the destructive power she can yield. However, can she still control her inner demon with the increase in her powers?

Paul continues his quest to understand the ancient knowledge of the cosmos, while dark forces seek to hijack his research to further a secret agenda. With their lives in jeopardy, Paul and Tahra confront their enemies against an international backdrop featuring the pyramids of Giza and the peaks of Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Sam and Ava endeavour to uncover their past, even though it may irrevocably change their lives.

In a tale of courage and tragedy, love and betrayal, their lives are interwoven around the demons of one man, Max Richardson, who’ll stop at nothing to achieve his objectives.

‘The dialogues are sharp as ever, her characters are given the room to grow from the first installment, and the actions are mind-blowing as I expected them to be… Science fiction lovers should give this series a go, or they will miss a great opportunity to broaden their minds’
Lit Amri for Readers’ Favourite.com

‘Even science dummies like myself get hooked into the action whilst also
beginning to understand the scientific meaning behind the plot, without
the feeling you are being preached to.  And with a massive twist at the
end, this novel will leave you far from disappointed.

Best Chick Lit.com

‘It doesn’t happen very often that a book is so engaging and entertaining, but also philosophical. Usually you get action without thought, or philosophy without action. This book unites both and never gets boring.’

Kim Anisi for Readers’ Favourite

Written in the style of a TV series, Seven Point Eight draws together quantum physics, psychic powers, alternate dimensions, time travel, past lives, ancient wisdom, romance, drama, and conspiracy in a soap opera for the soul.

It’s the ideal read for lovers of sci-fi, contemporary fantasy, the paranormal, ‘Lost’, ‘Fringe’, ‘Touch’, and Dan Brown books.

Here’s the set-up:

The Orange Moon Affair – by the bestselling author of CONTACT – is the first book of a compelling new thriller series, an action-packed conspiracy with a hero and heroine you hold your breath for. If you enjoy the action of Robert Ludlum, the intensity of Brad Thor and the international intrigue of Daniel Silva, then this book’s for you!

Ex-British Special Forces soldier Thomas Gunn is drawn back into his old life of international intrigue and danger following the murder of his billionaire father. The deeper he digs the more complicated the puzzle becomes until he finds himself working for MI5 uncovering a global conspiracy that puts the freedom of the western world at grave risk. His girlfriend Julie becomes his accomplice surprising him with her loyalty, strength of character and physical prowess.

While traversing the globe being shot at, shot down and losing loved ones – a haunting question tears at his soul – was his father really at the heart of this evil conspiracy? Or was he a pawn in a larger more insidious game that even he could not control?

Seeking the final answer could cost Thomas dearly, ripping from him all that he most loves and cherishes and leaving him questioning his past, his future and what kind of person he is or wants to become. The final outcome depends on him. Or does it?

As a former Captain of Britain’s elite Parachute Regiment and son of an MI6 operative the author brings his own unique and eye-opening experiences to the character and exploits of Thomas Gunn, as well as an unsettling blurring of the lines between fiction and reality when exploring the ruthless abuse of power and position for personal gain.

Here’s the set-up:

First Novel in the St. Simons Trilogy

A compelling, vibrant saga of conflict, love, and a young man’s search to fulfill his dreams.

In this enthralling first novel of the St. Simons Trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Eugenia Price shares the compelling story of James Gould, a young man with a passionate dream. Raised in post-Revolution Granville, Massachusetts, Gould could only imagine the beauty and warmth of lands to the south. It was there that he longed to build bridges and lighthouses from his very own design and plans. The gripping story unfolds as Gould follows his dream to the raw settlement of Bangor on the Penobscot River, to St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia, to lawless Spanish East Florida, and back—at last and finally—to St. Simons. Along the way, he encounters hardship, peril, failure, and success, but it is the unwavering love of Janie Harris, an especially beautiful and strong-willed young woman, that fulfills his deep need for someone who can share the dream and the life he has chosen.
