Genre:     Humorous


***About The Author***
      I have been writing since age twelve, and have been publishing since age sixteen. Mostly, anthologies, and school, or college papers. I have taken every composition and literature course available in college, along with majors in business, and medical.

      I decided to publish two years ago, when I found a publisher who understood my humor, always wrote humor, but dabbled in children's stories. These stories developed into two books, with maybe more to follow, most likely more humorous novels to follow, writing all the time and having prolific amounts of notes and stories in my house.

      I came from a loving family of five children. My father had a great sense of humor, and Ma spoke glorious broken English, so I brought home grammar books from school to help her learn. We lived in housing projects in Revere, where we had close to nothing. Everyone else in the neighborhood had close to nothing also, so we didn't mind. My grandma came over every Sunday afternoon for dinner, and to argue with my mother. It was a relatively uneventful childhood, except for my imagination and my best friend Maura, who helped me get out of the library, and into some wild and crazy adventures. I got a lot of material out of those years, and wrote most of it down.


***About The Book***
      Kramer Greenfield has created a wonderfully wicked satire in this novel about Schlumel, a man taken before his time, because of an error in Heaven. To make up for the mishap, his superior(The High Mukkah Muk) and the Almighty decided to make him an angel, and give him extra powers to return to earth. Once back among humanity, Schlumel battles the problems of teen suicide, murder, water pollution and con men. He enlists the assistance of some quirky mortals to help out, since he only has two wings. The Almighty forgives him a few trespasses, because this angel makes us laugh, and has a very big heart. Schlumel is some angel!

"His compassion, his cleverness, his reverence and especially his sense of humor make Schlumel my favorite angel ever."----Rebecca Rule, author of Live Free and Eat Pie and numerous other books.

~~Book Release Date on Amazon(April 7, 2015)**



                                                                  REVIEW


  "MASTER STORY-TELLING, PACKED WITH INTRIGUE, COLORFUL CHARACTERS, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING!"

      Inspired by a sad, haunting story told to the author from her mother, Holly Robinson pens a Masterpiece of intrigue that will make the reader think, long after this book is closed. Hannah and Sydney face conflict, and challenges. Why does Dylan spend so much time playing video games, and how did the loss of his mother affect his life?

      Did Allen and Hannah make the right decisions after leaving college, and what kind of struggle did Sydney face in her personal relationships? Holly Robinson creates a complete triumph of love, hardship, conflict, and mixed-emotions in an unforgettable story that tugs at your heart as "HAVEN LAKE" is born.

      In her third novel, the author paints a colorful picture of the lives of unique characters as she shows how the impact of Vietnam affected family structure, major decisions and emotional relationships, built on the consequences of a war and a generation that changed America.

      "HAVEN LAKE" highlights respect, conflict, and a struggle for peace-of-mind as the final curtains close. Most important, this epic novel made for a T.V. series will not only strike a sensitive chord for Baby-Boomers, but for every reader who could relate to the traumatic events that took place of those who were torn between the past, and the present. Highly recommended!

5 Star REVIEW~~"WOUNDED"~~Award-Winning/Bestselling author BEN BURGESS Jr.




                                                            REVIEW


 "HEARTFELT, EMOTIONAL, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, AND POWERFULLY MOVING!"

      Samantha Miller had no control over the horrifying, abusive situations she endured during childhood. Her life was taken into the hands of mental and physical abusers at an innocent young age, when forced into prostitution. As she grew older in bitterness, resentment and hatred, her only defense was a plea for revenge as the curse she lived with followed her on a road to danger, violence and seduction. Then tragedy hit her like a tornado, and she becomes challenged to make crucial decisions that will change her life forever.

      Will Samantha have the strength to bury the past and move forward, or will the tormenting scars continue to haunt her? Bestselling author, Ben Burgess Jr., delivers a Masterpiece of urban fiction, in a powerfully moving story that grabs your attention immediately and keeps it until the end. 

      The author has a gift not only in creativity, but also has the ability to tug at the reader's heart-strings. Inspired by his daughter, combined with his expertise as a N.Y.P.D. Detective, Ben Burgess Jr. highlights that no matter what life throws at us, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. That shining light will give hope and faith to help us not only believe in ourselves, but also believe in others.

      In conclusion, the Beatles reached out to millions of fans with their famous song that hit home for everyone who listened carefully to the words that not only rocked America, but words that still live on, "All You Need Is Love." When there's love, there is hope, which will lead to eternal peace and tranquility, portrayed by the author throughout this emotional story. "WOUNDED" is as heartfelt as Tyler Perry's Diary Of A Mad Black Woman, as entertaining as I Can Do Bad Things All By Myself, and is as exquisitely crafted as Steven Spielberg's, 'The Color Purple.' Highly recommended to all readers who enjoy Urban Fiction, African American Fiction, and Lesbian Fiction!

"BRILLIANT, IMPRESSIVE, EXCITING, AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING!"

      Award-Winning author of historical fantasy, T.W. Fendley, delivers another golden gem as exciting as 'Zero Time.'

     Sixteen year-old Jade wasn't thrilled when she had to spend Spring break in Peru with her grandmother. However, her opinion changes after she meets Felix, and discovers that she will soon embark on a mysterious mission that will become the most challenging adventure in her life.

      Can Jade restore the Firestone's powers, before it's too late? What messages did Jade and Felix discover on engraved stones in the age of the dinosaurs, and how did the dog help them find the red crystal? Will time run out before the First Men return on the night of the second blue moon?

      The author pens an epic fantasy adventure, made for the big screen. A picture-perfect setting takes the reader through a magical, mystical journey in all its ancient glory, with a colorful plot, and unforgettable characters. "THE LABYRINTH OF TIME" is intriguing, as entertaining as 'The Tale Of Onora:The Girl With The Solar Eyes' and as impressive as Steven Spielberg's, 'The Goonies.' Highly recommended to all fantasy lovers, who enjoy mystical and magical stories, combined with intrigue, and entertainment from beginning to end!

5 Star REVIEW~~"LOVE SONG"~Mystery Author JO HIESTAND


http://www.amazon.com

http://www.johiestand.com



                                                              REVIEW


"INTRIGUING, MYSTERIOUS, AND SUSPENSEFUL!"

     Inspired by a love for all things British, extensive research in Derbyshire and conferences with police friends, motivates Jo Hiestand to create another winner, in the McLaren Case Mysteries.

      Detective Michael McLaren is back to investigate why Luke Barber has been missing for three years, as the tension begins to find the clues and evidence, in this mysterious disappearance. Were the motives fear and jealously, or was the pressure in Luke's life too much to handle? What did a local gang want from Luke, and was Luke's father furious that Luke didn't work on the family farm?

      Did McLaren discover a link to a stone carving and a legend that could lead him in the right direction to uncover the truth, and how many suspects could be involved in the case? The author pens an intriguing mystery, packed with suspense. The colorful characters come to life in a picture-perfect setting, and the companion CD of "Did you not hear my lady" is the icing on the cake.

      "LOVE SONG" is as brilliant as A Perfect Murder, as intense as The Talented Mr. Ripley, and as thrilling as Frantic. Highly recommended to all those who enjoy thrill rides with mysterious twists-and-turns, blended with intense suspense!

                                                                  REVIEW


"A COLORFUL PORTRAIT OF THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE!"

      A young woman, who attends college becomes more-and-more confused as she continues to make decisions, while repeating the cycle of dating Mr. Wrong, and finding herself on the helpless road that leads her to no-where. In her desperate search to find herself, she winds up finding much more than she ever dreamed of, when she began reading diaries and journals from her ancestors.

      The more Sonia read, the more she began to understand how hardship and uneasy times affect not only those who lived through them, but the next generation who deeply felt the results from those who survived. 

      Master storyteller S.R. Mallery creates a colorful portrait of the past as she takes the reader through an incredible time-machine from one generation to the next, while we witness unforgettable, historical events that come to life, along with unique characters. The treasure that Sonia found, a discovery of her roots, was the golden key that unlocked the secret door that helped to shape her own life, through the experiences and lessons learned from her ancestors.

      The author has a remarkable gift. The ability not only to bring rich, historical events to life, but also the ability to perfectly blend different generations, showing how they all connect. As I read through the intriguing and bittersweet pages, the heartfelt stories within the pages of this book not only brought me back to my generation as a Baby-Boomer, but also to the flashbacks down memory lane of my own father's stories about his Purple Heart and his touching stories about Pearl Harbor, and survival from turmoil during his generation. This book will be thought-provoking, long after we close it. "UNEXPECTED GIFTS" is as captivating as Forest Gump, as compelling as We Were Soldiers, and as impressive as Saving Private Ryan. Highly recommended to all those who enjoy historical fiction.

                                                      REVIEW


"EXCITING, FUN-FILLED, DELIGHTFUL, AND ENJOYABLE!"

     Award-Winning author, Carole P. Roman delivers another delightful adventure in the beloved "Captain No Beard" series. The author invites the reader to hop aboard the 'Flying Dragon' with the hard-working Captain No Beard and his faithful crew as the mateys set off on a new journey, which marks another exciting adventure.

      However, as the crew plans their voyage to Snake Island, Polly the parrot warns the crew that if there's a red sky in the morning, then everyone should take warning. Polly not only helped the pirates to prepare for a storm that's brewing, but she shared with them that she learned about storms and many other things, from reading books. Even though Fribbet became frantic of learning about the storm, Captain No Beard once again took quick action, and before they knew it, the wind was gone and the pirates were calm.

      As the crew discussed what kind of books they would like to read, Captain No Beard headed north to Snake Island to find hidden treasure. As they walked along the sandy beach, Hallie reminded everyone that snakes make her nervous. But, only one snake was found, who slithered away and then later on, Hallie told her friends that reading about snakes was okay. The treasure chest was found, after digging-and-digging, and inside the chest was a surprise for all!

      Young readers will giggle their way through this fun-filled story as the creative author brings this imaginary tale to life with inviting, colorful illustrations. In addition, children are encouraged to enhance reading skills, while learning through reading books, with enjoyment. "THE TREASURE OF SNAKE ISLAND:A Captain No Beard Story" highlights friendship and teamwork, is educational, and is as entertaining as 'Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2.' Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers.

5 Star REVIEW~~"LAWYER MAGIC"~Author/Attorney~FRANK R. SOUTHERS


http://www.amazon.com

http://www.createspace.com

http://www.southers.com



                                                       REVIEW


"DRAMATIC, COMPELLING, INTRIGUING, AND SUSPENSEFUL!"

      The courtroom drama begins with a jury trial in San Antonio, Texas, in which the Plantiff wins a huge malpractice judgement from a hospital, a doctor and the defense attorney's clients. The Defense attorney does everything in her power to have the judgement dismissed against her clients, along with having the Plantiff lawyer disbarred. The case is presented in a jury trial for the family of a brain-dead client.

      Author and Attorney Frank R. Southers takes the reader inside the courtroom, as we witness an on-going jury trial that has so many twists-and-turns that grabs your attention, and never lets go until the very end. The Plantiff attorney and the Defense attorney do not see eye-to-eye. All the facts and arguments are presented, while we anticipate who will win. The reader could feel the tension as the suspense becomes intense, while we ponder on Kincaid, known for abuse and Helene, known for her anger.

      In a most professional, dignified manner, the author teaches the non-lawyer how much work must be done, before presenting a case to the jury. In addition and most important, the reader learns that the verdict can be shocking and sometimes reality is, that no-one really wins, especially when justice turns into revenge. "LAWYER MAGIC" intrigues from beginning to end, is thought-provoking long after you close the book, is as entertaining as Runaway Jury, and as riveting as Erin Brockovich. Highly recommended!

The guilt that Lori endured, after reading her only child's suicide note, changed her life forever. In the same manner where a loving father and husband takes the law in his own hands in Death Wish, Lori Powers does the same thing every time a domineering, abusive man crosses her path, she re-lives the terrifying trauma of her daughter's death.

      The author has a gift, the ability to draw his readers right into the crime scene as a witness, where we can see and feel the emotional horror of not only how someone could become a walking time-bomb, but also how bad things can happen to good people. "AFTER THE EVIL" is packed with action as colorful characters bring the chilling story to life in a picture-perfect setting that is as haunting as What Lies Beneath, as impressive as Double-Jeopardy, and as intense as Sleeping With The Enemy.
