Calmness The smell of the ocean encourages one to have a peaceful state of mind. The cadets were exchanging stories about all the single and handsome Mortelle Agents especially the ones that peaked their interest. Fawn laid comfortably on a beach towel stretched out across white sand far away from her friends. She was not up to adult chatter especially about men that were training them. She brought books to read that had nothing to do with crime or anything else that required her to think. She left all electronics inside her duffle bag in the hotel room. The surrounding air was crisp and fresh. Fawn was envisioning herself running along the shore line. And possibly hunting for seashells to put inside her small aquarium that she was currently working on. I am curious as to how you apprehended Shelly Wilkinson. The lady was more than dangerous."e; Battle nodded. "e;Fawn, have your ever dated a man seriously? She nodded. Than you should understand, what a man will do to gain your favor. I became the type of man that she wanted. I acted the part of a long-term man for thirty days and then I took it all back."e; Fawn frowned."e;You were sexually involved with a mass murderer for thirty days? And, then you walked away from her. Battle smirked. I would have been terrified."e; "e;No, I would not say all of that. Real terror can never cripple you Fawn. But what can is the constant anticipation of it.DismissAn internal audit of all cases that were still open placed a frown on the Chief Director Lawrence Reeds face. He oversaw the Mortelle Division and expected more from his agents. He quickly made some changes. Director Blanche Kayfus had been replaced. Senior Supervisory Agent Melvin Madoff was offered her position first, but he declined. The position was then offered to Director Jordon Fowler. Madoff was a born field agent, and nothing could replace that for him. Most importantly he did not like bureaucratic bull shit. CompromisePrecious, I would like to start off by saying, the black boots look nice with the pretty gray skirt, but it goes against our uniform policy."e; Precious turned completely around. "e;I do not know which one of those statements insulted my ears the most. Whats' wrong with my boots? The gray skirt is a far cry from being pretty!"e; Phillip looked down at her boots. "e;What happen to the shoes your father bought you?"e; "e;Uncle Phillip, those black shoes are ugly! It's bad enough, I have to wear this tacky skirt set. Now, I cannot wear my boots! What a joke!"e;Entitled Why did you give up your man cave?"e; Scott burst out laughing. "e;Now for three very good reasons, Craig. First of all, I'm tired of smelling weed. Second of all, my father cut my money in half. And, I'm saving the best for last. Paying fourteen hundred monthly verses three hundred makes for a better fiscal responsible man. So, in a nutshell, no sponsorship means no money. I cannot pay bills because of trickle-down economics. Charms does not know about the crib so let's keep it that way, shall we?"e;

Sharing these perspectives through the eyes of the protagonist, Investigator Nick Moore, allows the reader to grasp the logical, albeit overlooked abilities that can be honed and utilized through a lifetime of experience solving investigations.

During the course of his investigations he discovers crimes that are currently being committed at the hospital, that appear to be random acts, are connected. The true nature of a more complex plan begins to unfold and must be stopped in order to save countless lives from destruction.

The ride the reader takes at Guardian Angel Hospital is suspenseful and thrilling, with pitfalls and tragedy along the way. The antagonist is relentless in pursuit of his goals and is the antithesis of Nick Moore and Nick's relentless efforts to stop him.

I take it back! How many times in life does a man or women utter these words? When we say something stupid or hateful, then we often ask for forgiveness and take it back. Sharp and piercing words stick in the mind like a coffee stain on a white shirt-it never totally goes away. If these same words are used regarding the life that a man or woman has lived, is the effect any different? The answer is obvious: forgiveness may come from an apology, but in life there is no do-overs, only change. Life starts out hard and remains hard in one way or another for all of us. Even if wealth and power is abundant from the beginning, the mental stress can be devastating. Hard work and determination are essential qualities on the road to success. When our work is finished for the day, hopefully there is time to play, and sometimes the games we play can lead to destruction. Along the road of life, we should have respect and concern for our fellow human beings' feelings. When morality and decency become strangers to our actions, when we are willing to step on anyone's throat to fulfill our desires, then the road of life can become dangerous, if not deadly. Thankfully, many people are not that ruthless in life. The journey of such evil debauchery and selfish desire can be experienced in Oriental Treat. If you desire to read a novel that can keep you wondering where such a woman's life will lead her, a story that you may easily relate to or feel overwhelming sympathy or contempt for her actions, then Oriental Treat is the next novel you should be reading.

Set on the country's few month's old "e;revolutionary government "e;, and amidst the euphoria over the victory of the 1986 People Power Revolution, 38 Dark Days is a microcosmic picture of repudiating the much touted ideals that the latter fought for by the action of the former. This novel is a day to day account of the struggles of an academic community that filed a peaceful protest against the surreptitious appointment of somebody to replace the current president. It mirrors the pain, frustrations, and growing hopelessness amid a reticent determination to fight and bring their pleas to the powers that be, locally and nationally. The pervading plea was simply to insulate the academe from political interference so that excellence rather than mediocrity become the norm to inspire them, uphold integrity rather than opportunism, and strengthen institutional structures to withstand political meddling, among others. The roles played in the protest by the local and national politicians, educational leaders, local media (print and broadcast), the military (local and regional), the court of justice , and the local community contribute significantly to paint a gripping view of the crisis that develops. These and their ramifications rock the state college in Metro Ciudad showing a vivid interplay of societal forces and its consequences. The 38th day is not the end all, though. In effect, the events like the search for a new college president to follow days after, turn out to be lengthened shadows of the agony and the painful compromise that had marked the past days. Has the ethos of opportunism, incompetence, and indifference prevailed?Light moments were skillfully interwoven in the story. These serve as catharsis and energizer to keep aflame the hope despite the adversities, while injecting lessons on crisis management on the personal, social, or institutional level. xxx
