This book is based on a true story. I applaud the author for this moving and exciting tale of war and the undying spirit and determination of WWII female fighter pilots. He took me right into Lilia's cockpit of battle and I held on tight to the story until landing on the final page. I respect and admire the research that Christopher Redwine put forth in order to complete this work. Too many great people and their amazing and heroic stories have been lost to history and this is a story to absorb and to reflect upon. Lilia Litvyak's place in history should never be overlooked, especially at this point in time. This was written extremely well and after starting, I found it hard to put down. The Legend of Lilia is a must read!

This writer has the the talent to become a best-selling author. Interesting and believable characters, high-concept future tech and alien biology, intrigue, mystery, thrills and more take the reader on a journey that slowly builds to an unexpected and gripping climax. It begins with the POV character, John, making do as best he can on a future Mars colony, his talents wasted on tour groups and odd jobs, his social life floundering—until he meets a researcher who needs his skillset. An ultra-high-tech research vessel is set to sail to the edge of the solar system and through a wormhole, to a distant galaxy and a planet that may hold an incredible secret buried in it’s strata. The mission is plagued with issues, including the specter of espionage, unexpected life forms, unexpected weather phenomena, and a threat that no one saw coming. The final act turns this slow-burn scientific thriller into a battle for humanity’s survival, and every character plays an important role throughout the story. If you like high-concept science fiction—and the real-world science that inspires it—I think you will love this story.

Children of Little Might was a fun, enjoyable read about a boy with autism who just wants to be normal, but finds that maybe NOT being normal has its own special benefits. The way the story is told, from Monty's viewpoint, the reader gets a first hand account of what it feels like to be 'different' and their desire to be like everyone else. I highly recommend!

Vale: The Wizard’s Ward is an imaginative and adventurous coming of age story, challenging each of us to decipher who we can trust, to step out into the world, to learn our natural gifts, and to harness our powers. It’s the message every young girl needs in today’s world — you are strong, you are powerful, and you can have an impact on the world. I couldn’t wait to turn the page to what would happen next. Highly recommend it!
