My man!
I will make this review short and sweet. The Madaris brothers. Need I say more. This story was passionate and at times torturous. I wanted this brother for myself. Breaking through his wall might have been a challenge, but well worth it. Excellet Brenda...excellent!

Such a well written love story....
From the beginning to end Justin and Lorren keep you rooting for both of them. Both have been through so much and deserve happiness. The little twists and turns that were included helped the story even more. I would recommend this book to anyone...

Tramps Like Us

Huckleberry Finn, On The Road, and now ... Tramps Like Us
This is a wonderful book in the American picaresque tradition, a great read that I couldn't put down. Westmoreland's clean, straightforward, often lyrical prose and deadpan humor carry the reader along on his journey through the America of the mid-70's to 80's. It's a tender reminder of wilder times, told by a narrator who you can't help but love whether you're gay or straight, male or female, or ...

Three Wishes (Arabesque)

Janice Sims

Kimani Press, 2008

I've run out of words . . .
to say how wonderful "Three Wishes" is! Ms. Sims' careful research, particularly into the legal systems, makes for vibrant background detail. Her artful manipulation of the plot, contrived so that amour and friendship escalate in tandem (an none too quickly), reaffirms her ability to deliver entertaining fiction. Her characters are very believable and thank goodness she didn't write Sunny Adams ...

He Can Challenge Me Anytime...
WOW...talk about HOT, HOT, HOT...who knew the Westmoreland boys were so tempting. This is the first Westmoreland novel I've read and you can bet, I'll be searching for the rest.

I thoroughly enjoyed the teasing of the ...

A charming romance of pioneer life in Western Pennsylvania.

This novel combines details of the daily life of a pioneer family with actual characters from the history of the area. It is recommended reading for anyone who has "roots" in early American settlements and wishes to enrich their understanding of the trials of their ...

Mystery Solved
This is a fabulous book! It shows so many Charleton examples and identifies the various artists. It helped me identify designs that I had wondered what they were and where they came from. It's very thorough, detailed information, and a beautiful book to look at. I refer to it often and go through it every time I research a rose pattern that isn't Dresden.

Westy's warriors
like many others, i served with this man who we felt was a true warrior. his leadership was based on two words,"follow me." i've not finished the book yet, but so far find it is written objectively. thankfully, politics can alter history, but it can't alter memory.

Comments from Focus Magazine, Greensburg Tribune Review
Though the Jewish population of Westmoreland County is spread more thinly than it would be in Brooklyn or Miami Beach, anthropologist Mark Gruber sees the same themes repeated here he would associate with large Jewish settlements in urban areas -- themes that include "skills on how to live as a minority and how to do so with a dignified and decent kind of life. How to cope with the pressures of ...
