Advance Reader's Uncorrected Proof

Houdini's former apprentice, Wren, finds herself in a hurried race to beat the clock. Or is the killer?

Wren knows Houdini's secrets. And someone is out to get them. Someone willing to kill to get them. And Wren knows who it is.

Wren, well known in vaudeville, is an eccentric, wealthy woman in 1926. First she is in vaudeville, and second she wears "gentlemanly" clothing. She is definitely not the flapper irl of the roaring twenties!

Houdini's opinion of a known spiritualist wasn't good. Houdini was certain he was a fraud. When a public illusion goes wrong, and Houdini's foe is charged with murder, Wren finds herself defending the man, as she must now work with the newly formed FBI to find the real killer!

A charged, page turner, that will keep you up all night to read!

Cambron, an established author, outdoes herself in this fast paced, who-done-it.

I rate this book with Five Stars.

I give it a big Thumbs Up.

And I personally recommend it.

You can find the book HERE. It is available in Kindle ($8.99), Hardback ($28.49) and Paperback (8.79).

George Washington Carver - by John Perry

Christian Encounters

George Washington Carver

ISBN 978-1-59555-026-2

Yet another biography in the Christian Encounters series which is truly a masterpiece!

Perry brings to life this remarkable Chistian! Born into slavery, and on his death a man whose name was well known in nearly every American household, Carver was a man worthy of being called an American hero!

Articulate and educated, Carver was first and foremost a Christian. An educator who was more at home in the laboratory than the classroom, believing that education came fom practice! And a man who wanted the African-American man to know that he could accomplish anything!

Known for his life-long work with the Tuskogee Institute, and his moniker "the Peanut Man", Carver was also friends with the likes of Booker T. Washington, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and others. He dined with the elite, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

As with all persons of celebrity and notoriety, Carver had his quirks. Perry handled these with great dignity and sensitivity.

A truly gifted writer, I highly recommend John Perry's George Washington Carver.

I rate this book....

...Five Stars and...

...give it my

Thumbs Up! award.

Morgan brings a delight to each calendar day of the year!

Refreshing and insightful short stories of heroes and heroines of Christianity. Most of long, long ago, but there are a few modern heroes thrown in as well.

I especially delighted in stories of John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon and John Wycliffe, to name but a few.

This book is an excellent companion for daily Bible study, home schoolers, family devitionals, and is appropriate for discussion around the dinner table and for all ages. A must for every home library!

I give this book my five star award

as well as...

... my thumbs up award!

Where Hearts Are Free

Where Hearts Are Free

ISBN 978-1-59554-628-9

Bridgette is a young, diminutive girl from a proper, wealthy colonial American family. Her parents desire a good match for her husband, and are determined to see her wed.

Bridgette has other ideas.

The young servant who once lived an elite French life knows a secret. But his indenture has been ended early and he has left to return to his family in the Schuylkill Valley.

Brutality, love, murder, and passion all come together to form a story that will stay with you for a long time.
Yet, hidden throughout, is a strength that is beyond human, a faith that goes unexplained to the secular mind, a peace that passes all understanding.

A country where one can be free from tyranny, a place where religious freedom abounds, a home Where Hearts are Free.

I give this book my five stars rating

and my Thumbs Up Award.
