Give a Little - Book Review
This 310 page saga is Scott Underhill's second superbly
written novel. I have had the pleasure of reviewing both of
his books - and they are equally outstanding, yet profoundly
different pieces of fiction. Give a Little certainly provokes empathy for each of its
characters. It is an emotional roller-coaster ride for the
reader, while the family members in the book heal old
wounds and the father battles alcoholism. When the back cover states "Come meet Jaden and
Simmeon Randel, two brothers you won't forget" - they were
not exaggerating. These two identical and opposing twins
are the main characters in this novel. One boy is a handsome football star that shares a love of
the sport with his father. The other boy is portrayed as a
deformed shadow. Both twins are struggling to find out who
they are as individuals, and where they wish to take their
lives in the future. Both make heroic sacrifices out of love for
one another. Never rivals (except for their father's love), Simmeon and
Jaden depend upon each other for their successes - until
they fell for same girl. Events unfold that help these boys to
see each other as individuals and as an inseparable entity.
Give a Little portrays the deep connection twins feel through
deep level psychic connections where they can actually feel
when the other is distraught or in pain. Get this book ? you won't regret it. ISBN#: 0975357182

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.

Book Review - As the Darkness Deepens by Michael Cale
Newton's Third Law of Motions states that "For ever action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Michael Cale's latest novel, As the Darkness Deepens, is an interesting study in this universal law as it relates to the forces of good and evil. While this is a common storyline, Cale's strong characterization and the powerful climax give an otherwise trite subject substance to formulate a solid story.

Just think. If the Vikings had made just that little extra effort to stay on in America when they first arrived just over 1000 years ago then the modern history of not only North America but the whole continent might have started 500 years earlier in 992AD rather than 1492AD.
