Call Me Mommy - Book Review
Retired police captain, Marshall Frank, has written another
excellent read in his latest work, Call Me Mommy. Marshall
is definitely a prolific writer ? he has authored five books and
hundreds of short stories and essays to date. I would classify Call Me Mommy as a tragic suspense saga.
Marshall succeeds in making the book more realistic by
using elements of some factual events within the story line. The main character, Laura is fooled into having sex with a
callous and selfish boy while she was still in high school.
Lloyd was ill prepared for fatherhood and was forced into
marriage with a girl he did not love. His greed and animosity
is apparent from the beginning. Lloyd ruthlessly ripped
Laura out of his home and his life when he arranged
through corrupt contacts to have her committed to a mental
health clinic. When released from this prison sentence, she
discovered she lost all rights to see her son. This well-written novel is an emotional story of a mother with
a deep level of compassion, commitment and loyal
endurance. Her self-sacrificing efforts might not save her
son, but she may be able to save her grandson and have a
little taste of revenge as well. Through it all, Laura remains a
strong individual who learns to make room for true love and
sexual passion. Call Me Mommy is tastefully written; full of action and
suspense with elements of underground crime,
professional corruption and vengeance. ISBN#: 0974727865

Undercurrent Blues Has A Rhythm of Its Own - Poetry Book Review
On July 17, 2005 Cahuenga Press released Undercurrent Blues by James Cushing (Cahuenga is a cooperative press and Undercurrent Blues is the 14th book they have published since their inception in 1989). The collection includes poems written from 1989 through 1991 and 1997 through 2002. If you're like me, you immediately ask where 1992 through 1996 went. Mr. Cushing explains the skip in time in his Author's Note at the beginning of the book. Basically, the poetry included reflects the first 25 years of his writing life.

Amapola - Book Review
Alan Heywood writes a stimulating, though sometimes
improbable, adventure novel in Amapola. What I mean by
this is that the characters are seemingly very lucky or were
simply at the right place, at the right time. Yet, other scenes
are somewhat reminiscent of a James Bond movie. I liked
the humor Alan dabbled throughout the novel and admired
the strong female characters. This book certainly has a
heavy slant towards the importance of friendships and a
pro-Canada theme ? which I loved.

Ideas Are Free - A Book Summary
Without great ideas, no organization can stay afloat, much less flourish. Managers and top executives are constantly struggling to come up with big ones ? creative marketing strategies, ingenious cost-cutting schemes and other corporate solutions that will save time and money and improve productivity. But what few of them realize is that right under their noses is a virtually limitless source of valuable ideas ? ideas that can revolutionize their company and help bring substantial and sustainable competitive advantage. These great ideas come, surprisingly, from the lowest point of the corporate food chain ? from the frontline employees who do the "dirty" work and who therefore see a lot of problems and opportunities that their managers do not.

He refers to the works of the well-known poet and engraver, William Blake. Whyte uses the analogy of a ship crossing unknown seas to illustrate how we need to be the captains of our vessels. Through a variety of analogies, Wyte has presented work from a different perspective and one that allows us to explore our own potential and how we can better leverage that potential within that area of our life we call work.
