Rochelle Wisoff-Field racks up an outstanding 5 Star review for Please Say Kaddish For Me!
By Shmulik
This novel gives a heartrending view of the spirit and life and sufferings of the Eastern European Jewry, from which many American Jews derived. It was enjoyable and emotionally engaging.

JR Collins, author of The Boy Who Danced with Rabbits, is acquired by Loiacono Literary Agency!
JR Collins was raised in the valley he so passionately writes about. An ancestor of the first pilgrims to the area, he proudly claims heritage and roots through the people of the Appalachian Mountains that settled in the Choestoe Valley sometime in the latter part of the 1700’s. Born in 1962, he grew up hunting and running the ridges of Choestoe. This time in the woods gave him a great respect for a people who could live and prosper in those elements, and so a story was born. A fascination with Cherokee artifacts from a young age developed his insatiable curiosity for the history that played out in the mountains of North Georgia concerning the removal of the Cherokee nation, a horrible and most despicable time in the history of America as a country. As a writer, Mr. Collins wanted to leave a legacy of knowledge, of how life was lived when their family first came to Choestoe and developed friendships with the local people, the Cherokee, and how each came to depend on the friendship of the other. The recession of 2008 provided an opportune time to sit and write, so The Boy Who Danced with Rabbits became a reality. With the gift of storytelling, a novel came to be when pen was put to paper by an absolute rookie, whose professional writing career blossomed on the banks of Lake Chatuge covering the Fourth of July Boat Parade for the local paper in 2012. Marriage and two children provided the inspiration, and the mountains their wisdom, through which respect for a people done wrong, and for a God who loves everyone, could be nurtured through his words. https://loiaconoliteraryagency.com/jr-collins Represented by Jeanie Loiacono
The Boy Who Danced with Rabbits
A peace was felt for many years in the Southern Appalachian Mountains following the American Revolution and the creation of America. A time when settlers and native Cherokee lived somewhat of a peaceful and enjoyable life amongst one another. Families married into families; a community was building of sorts throughout the mountains of what is now North Georgia. Friendships and dependencies were formed on one another to maintain a civilized society. The Creek moved on and the Indian wars ceased. The native Cherokee became the principal nation and desired peace. It was a time when boys, both immigrant and native, could be boys, exploring the adventures the mountains had for them. This is the story of Jeb Collins of the Choestoe Valley, and Wolf, a native Cherokee Indian of purebred descent who also called the valley home, and their adventures on the ridges, hollers and streams of a land time was holding still.

The William Faulkner – William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition is one of America’s leading literary competitions and has been presenting awards in fiction, nonfiction and poetry since 1993.[1] The event is sponsored by the Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society of New Orleans, Louisiana.[2] The contest draws celebrity literary judges, and regular participants have included John Biguenet, Stuart Dybek and Bret Lott.[3]

The Society was established in 1990 in honor of Nobel Laurerate William Faulkner.
This is a classic novel destined to be read as much as Flannery O’Conner’s.

A Good Girl
Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are?
In order to forgive her dying father, Gracey Reiter immerses herself into the chaotic gene pool of the Walsh-Mueller clan, only to find herself and the family she spent years running from.
Gracey Mueller Reiter’s great-great-grandmother, Patricia Walsh, came over in 1847, starving, on a coffin ship from Ireland and ended up in Houston, Texas married to Emil Mueller, a first generation German immigrant. Six sons and a legacy…
Facing a catalyst—a past confronted, the present slipping away and the unknown, intimidating future—she can’t do a thing about the past, except accept it for what it was…her father’s alcoholism, her mother’s infidelity and soul-searching, and her siblings “realities.” Imminent death lurks. And yet, in the midst of it all, histories come full-circle, revealing both lies and truths. What once was, will be again, repeating itself…or does the buck stop here?
An all-encompassing novel that penetrates the core beings of all who read it, A Good Girl pulls back the skin to reveal the raw actualities of life, love and relationships, told with candor and honesty.

Life and love as a Russian Jewish family
I thoroughly enjoyed this book although at times it had me wanting to hide from the persecution that the Jews suffered in Russia at the hands of the Christians. Field’s main character Havah suffered more than most with the massacre of her own family, her own disability and further events which I won’t spoil by divulging. Despite this it love blossomed and I found that I was deeply involved with the characters. Historical fiction at its best. I couldn’t put it down.

SINGLE SUNDAYS: YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND WILL HATE THIS BY BLUE SULLIVAN
http://seriesousbookreviews.com/2015/09/06/your-ex-boyfriend-will-hate-this-blue-sullivan/
This book was funny throughout but serious when it needed to be. I definitely laughed out loud with some lines with their witty cynical sarcasm. The humour didn’t make me feel like I was reading some PhD scholar who has spent his/her entire career researching relationships and was now telling me how to act in a relationship. Instead, it felt like a conversation with a real person who has personal experience and the research to back up their statements. It made the book very easy to read.

Judge Douglas McCullough, author of Sea of Greed, will be doing a book signing and guest speaking at Beaufort Bookies Book Club September 8 @ 5:30pm at Spouter Inn, Beaufort, NC www.thespouterinn.com Sea of Greed is the true story of how an abortive marijuana smuggling operation on the North Carolina coast led to the downfall of Panama’s dictator General Manuel Noriega and the U.S. invasion of that country. McCullough had a big role in bringing hundreds of drug smugglers to justice, focusing on their audacity and careful planning and how their carelessness led to their downfall.
McCullough takes readers from the smugglers’ off-loading operations in North Carolina, to the marijuana distribution center in Detroit, to the high altitude lovemaking in private jets, to Noriega’s private estate in Panama.
His story rings true as it entertains.

I believe God wants you to know…
…that every day is a new beginning, and that nothing
from yesterday has to affect who you are today.
It does no good at all to bemoan what you may have
done on a day prior to today — or even, for that matter,
a moment ago. You don’t have to carry that into the
Present Moment, nor is your guilt about it going to do
you any good at all.
Simply resolve to become a different version of your
self right here, right now. Use yesterday to inspire
tomorrow, not to discourage it.
Love, Your Friend …
