been blessed with a variety of interesting jobs: a covert
position with the CIA's Directorate of Operations; attorney
in an international law firm; in-house counsel at the
Osaka headquarters of Matsushita Electric; executive in
a Silicon Valley technology startup.
These days I write full time: a thriller series about
half-Japanese, half-American freelance assassin John Rain,
whose specialty is making it look like natural causes.
My agency training, my experiences in Japan, and a background
in martial arts all inform my writing. If you like edge-of-your
seat action, exotic locations, realistic spycraft, steamy
sex, and a killer with a conscience who is "the stuff
great characters are made of" (Entertainment Weekly),
and if you like books by Lee Child, Joe Finder, Ian Fleming,
Ken Follett, Vince Flynn, Graham Greene, Richard Marcinko,
David Morrell, Daniel Silva, Trevanian, Andrew Vachss,
and Marcus Wynne, the Rain series is probably for you.
The books have won the Deadly Pleasures Barry Award and
Mystery Ink Gumshoe Award for Best Thriller of the Year;
have been included in numerous “Best Of” lists,
including those of Amazon, Deadly Pleasures, News-Press,

The
Curse of Kali by Audrey Blankenhagen
In 1854, beautiful Doctor Helen Forsythe marries into
a family beset by a strange history. Her charismatic husband,
Sir Gavin French, is the British Resident at the court
of a Muslim prince.
The exotic beauty of India, her British rulers living
in splendid isolation; the opulence and intrigue of a
Muslim Royal Court; the machinations of a sinister cult
of Kali; the horrors of the Indian Mutiny: are the themes
woven into the rich backcloth of “THE CURSE OF KALI”.
In this turbulent setting are a man and a woman whose
destinies are inextricably linked, their love yearning
to flower despite every obstacle.

her help from Rejat, a Mirii warrior healer, her Aunt
Elas' arrival and surprising announcement of her heritage
to the same forbidden order, followed by her father's
heartless betrayal, Morgana begins a journey with Rejat
and her aunt to join the Mirii and their spirit companions,
the Azerii, to seek her destiny and to understand the
voices that trouble her soul.

THE
MAPPING OF MARKESH by Paul Tonks
This book is a good, strong, multilayered example of a
hugely popular genre. It is fantasy and adventure, with
a glimpse into a possible parallel reality of someone
else’s imagining. THE MAPPING OF MARKESH is written
with a hand that is both sure and light; Paul Tonks’s
creation, the Hidden Continent, is logical within its
inherent fantasy.

Why
Are We Here? by Dennis Marcellino
A recent CNN survey said that the #1 interest of 43% of
Americans is "What is the Meaning of Life"?
You get the clearest, simplest, most objective, scientifically-backed
explanation of the meaning of life available on this planet
in Dennis Marcellino's book, Why Are We Here? "This
is a very important book that is greatly needed at this
time. I agree that the Bible should be the ultimate resource
for life and living and that the world could greatly benefit
from being logically and scientifically shown that this
is true."

as are the surroundings. It has me curious to know what lies
in future pages for the dear King Tayo. Excellent start to an
exciting story to come.

Dear Author, Chapter One is a fine, engaging,
and well written reading experience which the author writes
beautifully and entertainingly throughout. I love your flawless
description of the castle, the queen, and other characters and
their particular histories. I think your dialogue works quite
well.
Great write,

An astonishing piece of writing. You have
brought the reader right into each of the scenes. Your characters,
although many, are so descriptively portrayed that one has no
difficulty following the story line. And the mesh of the old
with the modern is really unique. If there was a category for
six stars, I would have given you that.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

This is a darn well done story, Christine.
I found nothing wrong with the story.

You drew me in right from the beginning
and didn't let go. It truly is an outstandingly well written
piece and if the whole book is this good you truly have a bestseller
on your hands.
Comment Written by thebestsoul |
This is a very intense chapter. I do not
know if I have read any of the other chapters but judging by
how well written this one is You have a winner of a novel. The
dialogue is intense and believable. The action is smooth, alive,
and full of drama. The descriptions are vivid and intense. All
and All this is a very good work.

This is excellent. I did not find anything
wrong with this since you pulled me in to the work and kept
me there. I knew that I had to leave this morning only to come
back to the site but I could not leave this novel and decided
to continue on. I loved how you keep the intense emotions on
a level that is almost breath taking.
good writing.

is exciting. The dialogue and the patterns of their minds is
very natural. I liked it very much and can not wait until the
next one. The power of your voice is fantastic.

The names of the characters are unique, but not too far out
