American Constitution In Danger Of Being Undermined By North American Union

In yet another ploy to usurp the power of our national constitution, president George W. Bush is pushing ahead with a plan for the North American Union.

Explore the Mind of a Serial Killer in Certain Prey by John Sanford

Certain Prey, starring Lucas Davenport, is another winner in John Sandford’s Prey series. I find it constantly surprising that Sandford can come up with such original plot lines while maintaining a contiguity of characters throughout the series.   In Certain Prey, Sandford introduces psychopathic lawyer, Carmel Loan and hit woman Clara Rinker. These two combine their [...]

Subterfuge and Political Motivation Lie Behind a Body of Lies by Iris Johansen

Iris Johansen’s Body of Lies may not be her best offering but it is a fairly entertaining novel that is reminiscent of a cat and mouse game. The authoress uses a ticking time bomb type subplot to propel the action along and keeps the reader’s attention by portraying the victims and antagonists as real flesh [...]

Witchcraft Rules According to John Saul’s Novel, Black Creek Crossing

Saul’s novel Black Creek Crossing was in the same venue as Spielberg’s Carrie, with the same religious overtones, self-loathing teenagers, taunting peers and the overshadowing of witchcraft. However, apart from that, the novel is filled with believable characters who find themselves caught up in the supernatural and in a set of scary circumstances including witchcraft, [...]
