A Simple and Timeless Tale.......2002-01-28

This story unfolds in an East Texas oil town in the 1920s when the oil fields and economy were drying up. Through the eyes of a girl growing to adulthood we watch various believable and generally quite likeable characters trying to get by in tough times. One woman runs a boardinghouse where Quincie and her father stay. Another tells fortunes. The men work the derricks and other oil jobs. This story flows effortlessly and without any artificial plot contrivances that an author less faithful to the telling of normal lives might have inserted. Mary King gives us a wonderfully simple but enlightening study of character and setting. She weaves an environmental theme throughout the story as the more philosophical characters ponder what it means to extract ancient oil from the ground. I felt like I had glimpsed a time and place I had never seen before and learned of a culture whose remnants are found still in many parts of the near Southwest. It was a joy to see a woman's perspective on this culture. I read this book late at night and felt both relaxed and transformed by the story and its unpretentious prose. The characters and their struggles had a timeless human quality.

Book Description

Those wicked wizards are back--and they've become very smart. (Sort of.) They intend to take over the Enchanted Forest once and for all . . . unless Cimorene finds a way to stop them. And some people think being queen is easy.

244 pages of bitchiness.......2007-02-08

I loved the first 2 books. And this one has some good stuff in it. But every single character is bitchy throughout the whole book!

It is funny to have, say, a bitchy cat, wizard, witch, magician, princess, rabbit, dragon or whatever. But they can't all be bitchy all the way through the book!

Amazing series.......2006-09-25

All the Enchanted Forest Chronicles are so much fun! Definitely at my top of Harry Potter fan recommendations. They're just such an amusing read; I even teach with them. Don't forget to read "The Frying Pan of Doom."

Love the characters!.......2006-09-19

Mendenbar and Cimorene, now married for just over a year, are celebrating the news of their first baby on the way when witch Morwen and sorcerer Telemain arrive on their moat-step with some disturbing news and a 6 foot blue rabbit/donkey named Killer. The wizards are, once again, up to no good. Upon investigating the source of Killer's unusual size, Morwen discovered more brown patches where the wizard staffs had leached magic out of the Enchanted Forest. Since Telemain and Mendenbar had repaired that particular problem, the issue was determined urgent. Once again a journey is required - this one is to retrieve the sword that is tied magically to the Enchanted Forest so that the wizards don't drain the forest of its magic - and its life. Morwen, Telemain, Cimorene, Kazul, Killer, and two of Morwen's cats embark down a dangerous road to save the lives of the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest. Great sense of humor and dialog - although the timeline sometimes takes getting used to.

The sword is gone .......2006-05-22

Well. my story is Calling on Dragons. Its about wizards trying to take over; so they steal the sword. They are trying to get it back. Well Kazul , King Mandabar, Cermany, Tellmin, and Moren are at it again. Now they are after the sword.
My favorite part was when I found out that the wizards go through mouse holes. I think doing that would be cool. The wizards go through mice holes to steal the sword. They did make it, and they did steal the sword. That is my favorite part.

A Perfect Combination.......2005-08-06

I truly am delighted with this book and the others in the series! They are a truly perfect combination of mystery, magic and mayhem!
I've told my friends about them, and they love them too!

Going Places no one Dared!.......2003-02-16

What great story!... I was taken places no one dare go. As a young person, I never had to deal with war and the faces of war. Like me, the readers will find themselves right in the middle of it war with all it's force, fear and gallantry. Mr. Pinn also reveals an Infantry mans view of histroy and troubled times. For those of you who may be wanting to know more about war, ... you must read this book. Mr. Pinn represents your husbands, your sons and all those who may be called to serve. As fearful as it was it also contained a lot of lighter moments. Funny stories and amazing encounters. A must read!

A must read for those that served, and those that didn't.......2003-01-26

Once in a while a great man walks into our lives; a man whose very persona is exemplified in his very stare. One such man was Lionel Pinn. Master Sergeant Pinn served in not one, not two, not three, but four different combat areanas. WWII, Korea, Laos and Vietnam saw Mr. Pinn, or Choo-Choo as he was known to many, fight and overcome the enemy. In three different combat theaters Pinny was taken prisoner, and escaped each time. He met and knew Jacki Kennedy, drank whiskey with Ira Hayes-the native American Indian who was one of the infantrymen immortalized in the depiction of the flag raising at Iwo Jima, and worked security for Frank Sinatra. Lionel was half Micmac and half Osage Indian, and more importantly an American.

I was fortunate enough to know Lionel, and sat with him at his home on occassion listening to him talk about the weather and the "three old maids" building a house next to his. Never did he discuss his combat missions or time served in the military with me; never did I ask questions. I have known several war veterans, and knew better than to broach the subject--besides, I just enjoyed Lionel's company, and as he remarked in his book, "I don't discuss war with those that never fought. They don't understand."

Oftentimes, I remarked to my wife that I regretted not asking Lionel if I could take a tape recorder with me to interview him. Fortunately for us all a reporter had enough foresight to do that very thing. I recently finished the book published about this little known American icon, Hear the Bugles Calling (My Three Wars as a Combat Infantryman). Lionel was the recipient of three combat infantryman badges, and two silver stars abrazoned the metals on the blue ribbon. Lionel recently died of Leukemia in 1999, the result of being present in Nevada for the witnessing of four atomic bomb detonations.

His is a story for anyone interested in courage. I'm lucky to have called him friend.........

My Dad's Book.......2002-06-15

I am the son of Lionel "Choo Choo" Pinn and I am very honored by that distinction. Knowing my Dad as well as I did, I know he would be satisfied with this book and I am very happy to recommend it. It does a great job at sharing a little bit about a remarkable life. Reading the stories was like hearing him tell the stories. All my life I have been fortunate to get a glimpse into the world of my Dad. He did not share a whole lot when I was younger but as I got older he did finally begin to start telling the stories and I am glad I was there to hear them.

The book will weave you through three different wars (WWII, Korea and Vietnam) and his first hand account of the events of those conflicts, the big picture of the planning and strategies of war as well as the view point from the fox-hole. Dad was also on special assignment in Grenada in the early 1980's and traveled the world over in support of his MIA/POW comrades. At the age of 68 he tried his best to get to Desert Storm but was denied the opportunity. This book will also introduce you to some one-of-a-kind moments and people. These are "backs against the wall" kinds of situations that will never leave your memory. Chief Red Hawk, as he was know by his tribe, was also extremely proud of his Native American heritage and felt strongly that it was through those roots that he was able to survive all that he did. 9 Purple Hearts, the Silver and Bronze Stars, Distinguish Service Cross and Master Parachutist were just a few of the honors he worn over his heart but the one that he was most proud of, the one that he presented at the Vietnam Memorial Wall, the one he had in his pocket the day I buried him at Arlington National Cemetery was the "Combat Infantry Badge" (CIB) with 2 Stars. To stand in the rarified air of a warrior who gave it all in three different wars had deeper meaning than anything else in his career.

Unfortunately his death in 1999 would never allow him the opportunity to see his finished product however; the stories live on in the book and hearts of all of us who knew him. He once told me as he approached the end of his life that "I was able to survive all these gun shots and hand-grenades because I could get my hands on them but I can't reach this damn cancer and that's got me worried." Co-author Frank Sikora does an outstanding job at letting that story be told.

Like my Dad's life, the only thing I regret about the book is that it was far too short. For those of you who have served and carried the torch of freedom for our country, I promise you will not be disappointed. For those of you who want to know more about this man and his life, beyond the book, please let me know, I would be happy to share!

Original take on a standard fantasy storyline.......1998-12-21

Well written with belivable dialog and characters that are definitely not cliches. The story is the familiar one of people from earth being swept off to a magical realm, and getting caught up in various troubles; but the unconventional characters, and surprising plot twists keep this book quite engaging.

a terrific guide with a Brit sense of humor .......2007-05-24

Not only very informative, well-laid out and user friendly, this book nailed some classic South Florida schtick which, to those in the know, (myself included) will find quite humorous. But conservative tourists of a certain demographic might prefer the more conventional (translation: boring)guides.
By the way, the TIME OUT Paris guide is tops.

Book Description

LOST IN TIME

Exploring space and time is a dangerous business, and no one knows this better than Time Agents Travis Fox and Ross Murdock. So when both men are stranded on far-off planets with no hope of rescue from Earth, they must rely on their wits and their training to survive.

But survival is only the beginning. To better handle the rigors of the alien world of Topaz, Fox and his crewmates have been implanted with the memories of their Apache ancestors -- but the Opposition has sent its own team with the reawakened memories of their Mongol ancestors!

Meanwhile, Murdock is trapped in the ancient past of the water world of Hawaika, facing terrifying wizards in a kingdom he knows will soon be utterly annihilated by an alien empire that is bent on the conquest of the entire galaxy.

The fates of two worlds, and possibly the galaxy itself, will be determined by the actions of these castaways in time -- and whatever happens, the lives of Time Agents everywhere will be changed forever....

Defiant Agents and Key Out of Time.......2003-03-02

These are two books from the early 60's that were originally published as Juveniles (current category is known as Young Adult).

The Defiant Agents has not worn as well as the second book mainly because it is built around a Cold War inspired race between the US and Russia to colonize space. The thing that really saves this book from being dated though is Norton's distrust of all big government.

The US team was sent into space under Redax, a conditioning that returns their thought processes to that of their ancestors-- Apaches living in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Although they were volunteers for experimentation and exploration, they were not made fully aware of what they were going to be used for by their superiors. Consequently, when their space ships cracks up on entry the survivors. some thinking they are living in the past, some more aware of the present are confronted with a puzzle. They must figure out how to survive in an alien world where their neighbors are escapees from the Russian mind control project-- and the Russians want their people back.

Key Out of Time moves to the water world of Hawaikan. Ross Murdock, a character from the earlier books, is thrown into the past of this world when a storm blows up while they are setting up a time gate. The Russians are only mentioned in the beginning so the book feels less dated than Defiant Agents. The action here involves a struggle among the ancient people of Hawaikan to escape the influance of the mysterious aliens whose wrecked ship provided the technology that let the people of Earth reach into space.

These books are well worth reading. Individually I gave Defiant Agents a 4 and Key Out of Time a 5. The first one was pulled down by the Russian/US conflict that probably doesn't resonate with current attitude toward the Russians.

A walk down memory lane with this sf omnibus.......2001-02-19

To gain perspective on when these novellas were released, Kennedy is President and Khrushchev is in power. The first moon walk has not occurred yet and the Mets winning the world Series is several year away when these two classic novellas were released. Both hold up well even with four decades of incredible gains by the scientific and technological communities, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some Cold War vestiges may seem outdated, yet nicely fit into the two story lines.

"The Defiant Agents". Travis Fox and crew land on planet Topaz where they must reach inside to their Apache heritage to battle a difficult climate and a Russian team of explorers who likewise dig deep into their Mongol heritage.

"Key Out of Time". Time Agent Ross Murdock needs to unite three radically different cultures and potential enemies into one force to repel the dangerous invading Baldies.

The anthology remains strong and actually shows how the great Andre Norton influenced future science fiction authors. Tales like these are why she remains one of the best loved writers of the twentieth century and now the twenty-first century.

Last of the Original TIme Trader Books.......2003-03-02

Ashe Gordon and Ross Murdock, angry following the loss of their fellow agent and friend, Travis Fox on the planet Topaz, are on the planet Hawaikan, a warm planet that is mostly ocean, intent on setting up a time gate. The world is so different from what they expected after viewing the information from the alien ship that brought them to the planet, that they have decided to do a risky experiment and travel into the past of the planet. They are joined on this venture by two mutant dolphins and a female agent of Polynesian descent.

However, just as they set up the time gate, a storm blows up and disaster strikes. Murdock is flung through the gate and into the planet's past. The time gate is destroyed. Murdock is left to try to cope with the different and aline world he finds himself in, where it seems there is currently a three way struggle going on even without the presence of the mysterious aliens who have dogged the Time Traders from the start.

Without many references to the Russian/US race to colonize space, this book is not much dated at all. Murdock's resentment about the interjection of a woman into their crew is all too believable. However, Norton rarely takes the expected route and the story remains thoroughly entertaining.

Aliens , earth time travelers , witches : all you expect.......1998-11-20

Key out of time is one in the series that I think started with Time Traders. This is the race between the U.S. and USSR to utilize technology left in the distant past on Earth by an interstellar race.

Review of Time to Check Out.......2005-09-10

Having read the four previous novels in this series, I am in a position to comment on the fifth. Grant Michaels has honed the art of producing page-turning mystery novels with a gay twist. There are some surprises, but Michaels principle strengths persist: believable dialog from spunky and independently-thinking characters, lush verbal paintings of the settings and actions, and for my money, the eminently likeable Stan Kraychik, although initially, he's a bit more bitter and skeptical, and for good reason--well, a sad reason. (Besides the fact that he's come to Key West, I mean!) Haven't read it all yet, and the Amazon review was here, but I can tell you that I've already bought the next in the series after this one, and it's in the pile by my easy chair.

Not any more........2004-02-04

This is the fifth in this Stan Kraychik series. It seems Grant Michaels has been going downhill. This issue is just boring. I won`t read the next one("Dead as a Doornail"). Enough for me. Sorry Stan. You used to be so fun...

A Great read.......2001-05-27

This is the first gay mystery I've read and it was a page turner for me. I couldn't put it down. I think it is a great read.

This series is always a good, fun read........2001-05-04

While not quite as good as previous books in the Stan Kraychick series due to too many odd-ball characters (but, this is Key West), this was still a fun, easy read. I longed for the continuation of the interesting relationship between Stan and his police detective friend/adversary from prior books. That relationship has more life in it and is more real than the contrived situations in this book. Still, it was a fast, fun read.

Darn good read, especially if you know Key West.......1999-10-03

I started this book on the plane en route to Key West and finished it while on vacation at a guest house there. It's a great book for a fun read, particularly while sitting poolside in Key West and envisioning the characters and locale. Not great literature, but a good story with vivid characters and locales. Looking forward to reading his other books.

This cookbook has many great recipes which are tasty and very easy to prepare. I bought a copy for my sister-in-law too who also loves to cook. I also enjoyed the introduction which discusses the trends of the past three decades.

Classic Southern Comfort Food.......2005-05-12

I purchased this cookbook and didn't really look at it until later. It was relegated to the shelf with the other cookbooks. One day, I needed a recipe for something really Southern. I looked everywhere, including the Internet, to no avail for a suitable recipe. I found many classic comfort food recipes that were simpler than I remember. Every recipe I tried has been great. I won't give it an A+ for health though. This is the full fat, full egg, full sugar version. I will say this though, many healthier substitutes work well in this cookbook for like fat free dairy products, egg substitute, or whole wheat bread. I even tried Splenda in these recipes and you couldn't tell a difference between it and sugar.

Excellent for any level.......2005-01-28

This cookbook gives recipes for any level of cook and best of all is the 'Best of the Best' of recipes. I have tried a few of these myself, but to have them all collaborated into one book is wonderful. Now I am able to throw out all of those magazines I have saved just for the recipes. Not to mention that recipes like the Crab Cakes and Garlic Shrimp are the best I have ever made from reading any book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Every recipe I tried turned out beautifully and scrumptous.This book is truly a gift to share with others. Just like my new beverage of choice that replaced my morning brew. Its called s oyfee and taste so wonderful with no caffeine or acids. Organic and made from soya! Bye bye acid stomach and hello healthy tummy! Google it under "acid free coffee"

Not what I expected.......2004-10-27

I was excited to see this product listed because I love the Southern Living Annual Recipes and assumed this would be a collection of the best recipes from each year. However, this was not the case. For example, a recipe for Sour Cream Poundcake, which was in one of the annual recipes books and had received one of the highest ratings ever, was not included in this cookbook. Instead, the cookbook was filled with what I would consider fairly generic recipies (i.e. Chex Mix, cheese straws, etc). What was more annoying, some of the items which were pictured in the introductory section and looked delicious (i.e. a pecan pie cake) were not even included in this book! I was generally disappointed and returned the item.
