Wet Firecrackers:The Unauthorized Autobiography of Gordon Osmond

Publisher Publish America
Released February 2011

Purchase Links:



Join Gordon Osmond in his attempt to produce from the disparate elements of his long life some coherent whole and purposeto discover the root causes of the author's ultimate sense of highly partial personal fulfillment.
Long on analysis and short on chronological order, this unauthorized autobiography (sic) takes you to Osmond's diverse domiciles, (the United States, England, Japan, and Brazil), and to his toilings in the various vineyards of law, theatre, tennis, and teaching.


In our lives, we all have episodes of pride and shame, of celebration and despair, and of conquest and defeat. Osmond hopes that this account of these opposite events in his life may in some measure illuminate and inform the reader's own life odyssey.


First off, I love this cover. It really draws you in and begs for you to turn it over to see what's in store. The more I read memoirs, the more I'm really starting to like them. Osmond brought a well written story in his Unauthorized Autobiography. From undergraduate school to not being able to discuss sex in front of his parents or risk getting the lecture on how he will wait until he's married, to humorous satires and California Dreaming,  Osmond puts it all out there with humor, dignity, and I think if he were one of my teachers, I'd have breezed through school with ease.

The world could use more teachers like him, one of those that actually tries to connect with and reach their students. He couldn't have said it better when he said, "curiosity is the gateway to learning." Teachers could realize this more and find ways to pique that curiosity instead of just "teaching". Nothing against teachers, but Osmond is right on.

 I found myself laughing more often than not throughout reading this title, and I would just love to meet this guy in person. "Brazil, where nuts come from and sometimes go to", how could you not find that funny? Overall, Mr. Osmond has been many places, accomplished many things, and he takes you along for the ride as he relives it all. I truly enjoyed this read and would recommend this for anyone looking for a relaxing read and a good laugh.

The Wicked Wives by Gus Pelagatti


Publisher   Mill City Press

Released  July 2011

Purchase Links:
Amazon (Print)
Kindle

"Wicked Wives" is based on the true story of the 1938 Philadelphia murder scandals in which seventeen wives were arrested for murdering their husbands. Mastermind conspirator Giorgio DiSipio, a stunning lothario and local tailor who preys upon disenchanted and unfaithful wives, convinces twelve of them to kill their spouses for insurance money. The murder conspiracy is very successful until one lone assistant D.A., Tom Rossi, uncovers the plot and brings the perpetrators to justice. "Wicked Wives" is a story made for Hollywood, combining murder, corruption, treachery, love, lust and phenomenal detail as it vividly captures Depression-era Philadelphia.

True life crimes - it couldn't get better. From the first page I was drawn in, and my biggest intrigue was that this happened so close to where I actually live. Set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, society wives were creating a new meaning to infidelity. Giorgio DiSipio was a ladies man, bedding all the woman unhappy in their marriage. When it came about that they could take out a life insurance policy and reap the benefits upon the death of their unsuspecting husbands, Giorgio wasted no time getting his piece of the pie.

Each woman thought they could change his ways, making him true to one, and one only. Giorgio loved the game and played it well, and none of the ladies get their hearts desire.

Tom Rossi was up for the next District Attorney, and when Lillian offs her husband with poison, her mother-in-law knows there is funny business. Rossi, being very knowledgeable in the symptoms of poison and the diseases they can portray, he has no choice but to go with his gut and investigate. Forcing the issue just may cause him his promotion when Lillian turns out to be the Deputy Mayor's niece. The deeper he digs though, and with more deaths falling under "Pneumonia", he can't let it go with a clear conscience.

Adultery, sex and conspiracy, this title played out like a movie. I could see it all so vividly and Pelagatti did a fantastic job pulling you in and keeping you in until you found out how it all ended. Being a trial lawyer in real life, he was able to paint the picture perfectly. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that loves true crime, murder, and corruption all tangled into one great read.

Rise and Fall of a Track Star by Omegia Keeys - Review

From Pan Am Game bronze medal winner to All American, Omegia Keeys was once touted in Track Magazine as one destined for greatness, but walked away from it all. Rise and Fall of a Track Star is Omegia’s firsthand account leading her to the breaking point. For years Omegia held on to the shame of a dirty little secret, one too common in the African American Community. 

Through her memoirs Omegia takes you on a journey through her childhood onto her adult years. Her struggles as a teenage mother is only a checkmark on the list of life altering experiences, ones she hopes young girls and woman can learn from. 

Omegia has one goal with her story, to educate, help others, and to release the long carried shame. 




My Review:


Rise and Fall of a Track Star by Omegia Keeys was definitely not what I was expecting. This title will have you feeling so many emotions as you flip through the pages. I give her credit for putting it all out there like she did. 


There were times I was angry at her mother, then at her friends, because really? How could friends do that to you? In the end though, I was left with a strong respect for Omegia and her Mother, feeling sorry for all this woman and child had to endure yet amazed at the strength she portrayed through it all.


If you are not touched by this story, then you are just completely heartless. Instead of her experiences breaking her, she found the strength to survive. Kudos Omegia! There are several messages involved in her story, the one that stands out for me is to never let your dreams die. This is a very fast paced, intriguing story that you will find you can't put it down until you are finished just to see how it all ends. She holds nothing back and I can only imagine how hard it was to write it all down, then bare it for the world to see. I highly recommend Rise and Fall of a Track Star, giving it 5 lattes!




Entrepreneur, Award Winning Author, Publishing Liaison, and Motivational Speaker are just a few of the makings of Omegia Keeys. After serving two terms in the military Omegia went on to apply her strategic planning to the publishing industry for the past five years. She has garnered numerous awards and praise to include theScribe Award for the National Black Book Festival and ranking in the top 100 books of 2010. She is currently on tour promoting her memoir Rise and Fall of a Track Star and finishing up the sequel entitled Single, Black, and Government Owned.

5 Latte's for Broken Birds by Jeannette Katzir

Picture
If you've ever been curious about the Holocaust and wanted to know more about what actually happened and the effects it left on survivors then this is the book for you.  Jeannette Katzir brings you smack dab in the middle of it with Broken Birds: The Story of my Momila.

I can't say enough about this book.  Katzir did such a fantastic job you feel the emotions from the beginning to the very end.

Channa and Nathan were caught in the middle of Hitler's Reign.  Fighting to survive,  they found each other.  Though they loved each other and made it through some horrific times,  surviving did not come without costs.

We are taken into the Holocaust,  from Channa being on the run from Nazi soldiers to Nathan enduring concentration camps.  This was so heart wrenching you had no choice but to want to save them yourself.

After Channa and Nathan marry,  they have five children.  Though the effects of the war are still imminent in their lives,  they try to provide a loving home for their children. 

We see these kids grow up,  we see emotional conflict,  and the worst is the sibling rivalry.  I felt bad for two of the children,  as they felt that they deserved everything without working for it. 

It was amazing to me how Channa loved her children yet tried to control every aspect of their lives even after they were grown.  Nathan always remained quiet,  and took things in stride.  Even after Channa departs from this world,  her way of life still seemed to hold strong.

I have never read a book such as Broken Birds.  I've always been curious as to what happened during this time and I will tell you that no history will ever have you feel the effects of war like this book.  Katzir did a fantastic job with detail,  drawing you in so deeply you had no choice but to feel.  I highly recommend Broken Birds to get a real taste for what actually happened,  the effects after and how that extends to the families.

***** The Price by Leon Newton

Picture
Click to Purchase at Amazon
The Price by Leon Newton was my first play write and I wasn't sure what to expect.  I must say though that I truly enjoyed this read.

It starts off by telling you about the characters and the sin they committed,  giving you details such as age,  and scene.

A millionaire is cast to hell after his death.  Standing before Satan he demands that the "paperwork" be checked as there must be some sort of mistake that he is in Hell.  Not only is he in Hell,  but it's so hot and he asks Satan to turn on the air conditioning.

The millionaire does not believe in Heaven or Hell,  God or Satan.  He does not understand why he is here and during the play we see the characters try to convince him of his sins and that he is paying the price for them.  He believes he is a good man though,  and just because he is rich shouldn't condemn him to Hell.

Satan laughs when the millionaire continues to ask for air conditioning and paperwork to be checked.  He tries to tell him that there are only two choices on Earth,  God or Satan. 

The millionaire continually states he doesn't believe in God or Satan,  but only in himself.  As new arrivals take their turn in telling of their sins and why they are in Hell,  the millionaire thinks its a bunch of craziness and that they have sinned and are paying the price,  but isn't convinced that his own greed and arrogance was enough to land him in the flaming pits of Hell.

Annie keeps quoting scripture,  Billy cries he was never told about Jesus,  and the Athlete is ready to kick the millionaire's butt for his arrogance.  When Satan has had enough,  he casts them all to burn and the play ends.

I found myself amused and seeing the message as well.  The Price was a fast paced read,  enlightening the fact that we should live right and by God and not for ourselves.  We should give to others freely,  and not only when we are searching for praise.

Price did a fantastic job and I would love to see this in an actual play.  I think it would be fun to watch and even my 11 year old son enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the trailer for this as well and have included it below :).

In COMPLETELY WHOLE, Paulette Harper offers keys to help those who are searching for answers that can lead to a life of complete wholeness: Spirit, Soul and Body.

Paulette Harper






 My Thoughts:

This title was a really fast read by Paulette Harper.  I think this title would be perfect for a new Christian,  or someone that needs a better understanding of bible scripture.  If you feel like something is missing from your life,  then you will enjoy this book.

From the first page Harper talks about how you can make yourself Completely Whole,  living by the Word.  From relationships,  to your way of thinking,  to changing the way you look at life,  Harper did a great job explaining how you can apply scripture to daily living.  She even goes as far as to break down the scripture for a better understanding of what it means and how to make it work for you.

The only thing I didn't care for was she used the King James Version of the Bible a lot,  which I never understood.  She does have some scripture from the Amplified version and these are a little easier to grasp.  I use the New International Version which talks in today's dialogue,  and used it to look up the scripture she used to better understand the verse.

My favorite quote that I took away - "No one can do you like God can do you."

All in all,  this was a great book for self exploration,  and for a better understanding on what they mean when they say,  "Live by the Word."

Pauletter Harper is an Ordained Minister,  and she does public motivational speaking.  Her goal is to help women across the board,  and I would love to hear her.  I think she would be a lot of fun and a true inspiration.







A sought after speaker, certified life coach, minister and author. As an inspirational and motivational speaker, Paulette’s desire is to motive women to reach their God given potential through conferences, workshops and seminars. Combining enthusiasm with an energetic speaking style, audiences describe Paulette’s presentation as inspiriting, enriching and encouraging. She is committed to speaking a message that is always uplifting and edifying.

***** Miakoda The Power of the Moon by Jon Parker

Picture
Reviewed by Stacie Williams - Author of The House With 9 Rooms.

Picture
Miakoda The Power of the Moon.  May 4, 2009

It all started on a cold night in January 2001. We had just landed in Anchorage, Alaska. My mother and father got off the plane first, followed by my little sisters, Jennifer and Devon, and then me carrying my 2 ½ month old Malamute puppy. Thus begins this first novel by Jon Parker inspired by his beloved malamute, Nayanna. The narrator is the Parkers’ son Jonathan, who lives on a small ranch with his family. The Parkers live near an Indian man named Blackwolf, who teaches the children about surviving the wild, wolves, and the power of the moon. This inspiring tale describes the true bond between humans and their best friends, our beloved dogs, and an adventure that will never be forgotten.

My Thoughts:
The Power of the Moon was a great read,  though it had a few common errors such as spelling or missing part of words,  it was still a great read.

A story about Indians and their spirits,  which I always find interesting and exciting,  I really enjoyed this book.

Jon Parker is a very brilliant writer and has a way with words.  While reading I was able to picture everything in my mind.  I would recommend this book to anyone that likes stories about Indians, wolves and dogs.  Also being new in a new place and fitting in.

I also believe in some Indian tales,  like about the sprits,  and I think it is cool that he would write about these Indian beliefs.

I give this book ***** (5) Stars.  Stacie Williams,  Reviewer for BK Walker Books.

***** 1% Solution For Work and Life by Tom Connellan

PictureThe 1% Solution For Work and Life by Tom Connellan is by far the best and easiest advice I've come across.  This title is an extremely easy and fast paced read full of tips on how to make your next 30 days the best ever.  We all know that it takes 30 days to develop a habit,  or that we must set goals for ourselves to enrich our lives.  What Connellan explains though is how to reach your goals and improve your life,  whether its relationships,  work or something about yourself,  and reach them in small easy steps. 

Told as a story of someone actually experiencing the 1% life changing solution,  you will find yourself shaking your head yes at how much sense this solution actually makes, from changing your mindset to reaching your biggest goals.

If you're looking for a guide on how to change or improve your life,  look no further because Connellan has brought it all to the table in a simple and easy to follow format.  You won't be disappointed.



**** The Deceived by Sandra K. Marshall

PictureThe Deceived was another great read by Sandra K. Marshall.  She never leaves out the mystery while delivering a suspensful and thrilling read. 

Melanie Dubois despised gambling,  and her family makes their living as owners of The Odyssey Casinos.  When she joins a group that is against gambling, she thinks she has found a new family to help end gambling addiction.

When one member of this group becomes obsessed with her,  her life is in danger and she has no where to turn.  What the group doesn't know is that Al Slavery and the entire anti-gambling group has been under investigation with an undercover FBI Agent inside.  The problem?  Dan can't be everywhere all the time.

When Melanie's family strives to get her home,  Mike Mercer, an employee of the Dubois family, must play nice and get close to her.  What he never expected was to fall in love with this unruly member of the Dubois family.

As the suspense heightens,  so doesn't the story as it unfolds and with some surprising twists.

Marshall did a great job delivering another great mystery.  The only thing I found is at times I wished there had been just a little more detail when it came to he characters,  such as when Melanie and Mike get involved,  it could have been slightly more drawn out so we could get a better feel as to how they develop in their relationship.  Other than that,  this was a fantastic read!

Writing is my second career, as I worked and retired from Trans World Airlines after thirty-six years.  
 
I have two books, Addiction and The Deceived that are e-published.    Addiction was released in print July 1, 2010 from my publisher, Eirelander Publishing.  The third book, The Deceived, was released as an eBook September 10th.
 
My stories while suspenseful are written toward the growth and empowerment of women.

***** Review of South Of Heaven by Jamie Collins

South of HeavenSouth of Heaven by Jamie Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


South Of Heaven by Jamie Collins was an absolutely wonderful collection of poetry.



Beautifully written collection of poems with a bit of inspiration, emotion, and meaningful insight.



I'm sure the poems in South Of Heaven all stem from personal truths, but Collins has held nothing back in portraying the beauty of well written poetry.




My Love Is Dying

My love is dying

and I don’t know what to do.

I tried to survive it

but I think I’m dying too.

I don’t know where I’m going,

only god knows where I’ve been.

I feel a river flowing,

through my veins again.

It runs as cold as ice

and as blue as the sky.

I feel it deep within

my love is dying tonight.

***** Review of Magician Of Oz by James C. Wallace II

Picture
The Magician Of Oz was a fantastic book with magic from start to end. It's a definite page turner that you are going to love.

Jamie Diggs moved from Kansas to Indiana. One night Jamie and his father were looking in a trunk that belonged to his great grandfather. What they found were coins, and old pocket watch, and O.Z. Diggs on the trunk itself, which was his grandfathers initials.

One night as a surprise, Jamie's father took him to a magic club. After he was introduced, he showed the coins and pocket watch from his grandfathers trunk.

As he was learning magic, he did a trick with a zombie ball at a magic club picnic, and he even made his coin disappear. He was becoming good with his magic tricks, and one day while walking in the woods, he was led into the land of Oz.

He stayed in Ozma's Castle with Ozma, Dorothy, and Glinda. While he was missing his mothers potato soup, Dorothy took him to the Tin Woodman's castle so her Aunt Em could make him some.

While enjoying his soup, a counsel of trees were angry with the Tin Woodman, and were coming to the castle to destroy the Tin Woodman. Dorothy and Jamie conjured up a spell which made them disappear. The Tin Woodman seemed to have a lot of enemies as they also had to cast a spell to turn the morals to stone.

After a few days of being in Oz, doing tricks for the farm people, he finally got to go home, but soon would visit again. Before his departure, he did receive a new coin from Ozma, which bore the three girls from Oz embedded on it, just like the old coin Jamie had lost.

Though Jamie thought he was gone from his family for days, upon returning he realizes they only think he was gone for a few hours.

Wallace did a great job with this exciting tale. With magic and spells, there was never a dull moment. Though it had the some of the same characters as The Wizard of Oz, Wallace created an exciting twist on the plot.

I give it ***** (5) Stars, Danny Dietz, Reviewer of Childrens Books for BK Walker Books.

***** Review of Flaherty's Crossing by Kaylin McFarren

Picture
Flaherty's Crossing by Kaylin McFarren was a phenomenal read! An emotional story with gripping events from beginning to end!

Kate Flaherty is torn with emotion and anger, as she sits watching her Dad on his death bed. Morphine inflicted, Collin Flaherty reveals a secret he has been keeping most of Kate's life.

Trying to sort through it all, Kate is confronted with a deer on her way home from visiting her sick Father. Swerving to miss, she finds herself bruised and banged up, and her vehicle not working.

She tredges down the road, coming to an old diner. She enters to find a lone gentleman working, waiting for his wife to arrive. Phone lines are down, and Kate has no choice but to wait for ride.

As she begins talking to "Mick", she finds herself devulging pieces of her life she has never allowed to be told. As she confronts her feelings about her past, and her husband Drew, she realizes she too may have to take some of the blame for their differences.

When she suddenly realizes there is no cord to the phone, she becomes panicked, fleeing the diner in search of a house. Chastising herself for ever trusting a stranger, and sore from the accident, her husband finds her to take her home.

Then the dreaded call came, "I'm sorry - I never get used to making these calls. Kate, your father passed away after you left."

Grief stricken that she didn't have just one more day, Kate and Drew arrange for the funeral, and start rebuilding their lives. As Kate prepares, going through her Dad's personal items, she learns things about her father she never knew, some things she never wanted to know.

Flaherty's Crossing is truly an emotional roller coaster ride. McFarren did a fantastic job drawing the reader in, keeping you wanting more. In this heart-wrenching tale, of self discovery to forgiveness, you will not be able to put this book down until you have finished it.

I give Flaherty's Crossing ***** (5) Stars, BK Walker, Author of "Near Suicide" and "Dares And Dreams". http://bkwalkerbooks.weebly.com

**** Review of Where The Hawk Tree Stands by Ronald R. Roberts


TheWhere The Hawk Tree Stands by Ronald R. Roberts was a great read and very educational. If you didn't understand the hard times and struggles of the depression, you will certainly be enlightened in this title.

The plot starts in the present day, with Charles as an old man in his last years. When he takes a ride with his cousin to the place where he grew up, he is taken back in time, where we learn of his past through memories he recalls.

As a young boy during the time of the "Great Depression" and the "Dust Bowl", Charles takes time from farming duties to go to the cotton grove. He finds a great oak tree, making a connection with it that only he and the tree understand.

It is during his time spent with this tree that Charles truly connects with nature. While under the oak tree he watches a family of hawks build their nest and lay their eggs. He visits often, able to see the babies after hatching and to watch the parents feed them.

After a big dust storm passes through, Charles goes to check on the hawk and the oak tree. He finds the parent hawks missing, and the nest is on the ground. One of the baby hawks is laying dead, and Charles is worried about the other. He hears a coyote in the grove, seeing the hawk in a bush where the coyote is trying to get it. Chasing the coyote off, Charles befriends the baby hawk taking him home to care for him. After getting his parents permission to keep the hawk, Charles names him Talon.

After teaching the hawk how to fly and hunt, the bond between this boy and hawk is extraordinary. They watch out and care for one another, for years to come.

Talon and Charles visit the Hawk Tree often, and have many experiences during their time spent in the grove. That is until the day comes that Charles must let Talon live up to his full potential.

This was a great story of hard times, struggles, true friendship and love. The bond and experiences of Charles and Talon are like none you have ever seen before.

Roberts did a great job reliving the Great Depression, giving the reader a good look into those devastating times. With quite a few gripping scenes, you will be anxious to find out what happens next.

I loved the ending of this tale. It was the perfect choice, though there are alternate endings that you can see how it could have been. I give Where The Hawk Tree Stands **** (4) Stars, BK Walker, Author of Near Suicide and Dares And Dreams. http://bkwalkerbooks.weebly.com

An Honest Love by Kathleen Fuller *****

Picture
An Honest Love by Kathleen Fuller was a fantastic read! I love her writing style and the plot was amazing.

Delving into the world of the Amish Community, this book tells the tale of two couples finding and learning to love.

Anna Esh has been deeply hurt by her previous finacee'. She moves to a new community hoping to find a new start. Her mother Edna and her open an Amish store in Middlefield, Ohio.

With many renovations needing to be done, she is introduced to Lukas Byler. Lukas is a very talented carpentry worker, that has an eye for more than just woodwork.

Lukas' patience is never ending as he patiently breaks through the walls Anna has built around herself. As Anna finds herself falling in love, she also develops a serious illness that could separate her and Lukas forever.

Aaron Detweiler has recently been released from jail after a drug related arrest. Finding his way back into the community, he commits to the church and God.

Feeling like an outcast, thinking the entire community is looking down on him for his past mistakes, he finds Elisabeth Byler. She is the one person that doesn't seem to judge him.

Elisabeth is persistent in developing their friendship. As they become closer, Aaron is finding himself wanting to be more than just friends, with feelings developing that he was sure Elisabeth would not reciprocate.

While at church, Aaron finds himself inches from Elisabeth when he jumps in the pond to save her, thinking she could not swim. Overcome by desire, he lays the gentlest of kisses upon her lips.

Elisabeth is overwhelmed and runs away. Sure he has ruined everything between them, Aaron questions his actions and his feelings. When Elisabeth leaves town to visit her friend, Aaron is sure it is due to his kiss.

Domestics by Jo Davis *****

Picture
Domestics by Jo Davis is a terrific read. Two short stories that waste no time getting into the action.

Sarah is married to Keith and severely abused by him. The day he beat their child Brandy to death, Sarah's life forever changed. In a heated rage, Keith learned exactly what he has put Sarah and Brandy through.

After the death of her husband, Sarah becomes a counselor for domestic violence. She helps these abused women in more ways than one.

The day Rick comes into Sarah's life, she finds herself attracted to a man after ten years of solitude. They seem to be a perfect pair, talking until all hours of the night.

Rick is a Private Investigator and retired police officer. After the sudden death of his partner, he vows to prove it was murder. Little does he know that his new found love is tied into it.

The last short story in this title is Smoke. Charlie finds himself craving the one thing he is most trying to quit....cigarettes. While on a plane, the craving becomes unbearable. He suddenly finds a cigarette in his belongings that he didn't know he had.

Knowing he had a cigarette made it that much worse. When he decides to create his own fire, the airline attendants become worried about what he may be doing in the bathroom.

Lucky for them, there is a Fire Marshall on the plane, but not so lucky for Charlie.

Davis did a magnificent job with this title. Full of action from beginning to end, I loved this book. I give Domestics *****(5) Stars, BK Walker, Author of "Near Suicide" and "Dares And Dreams". http://bkwalkerbooks.weebly.com
