3 Short Stories.......2007-06-18

If you are looking for some easy reading, romance, marine rescue-type, then this book is for you. Not complicated. They move right along, steamy and well written. This book is large style, not small paperback. Can read it on the treadmill with no problems! LOL

Really Enjoyed It.......2006-09-28

I didn't think I would like this book. I'm not big on short stories but I enjoyed this author's book Naked Truth and this book is better. She does an excellent job of being the characters to life in minimum pages. The characters really clicked and you could feel their lives. I loved the Marine background. I would highly recommend this book to any romantic readers. Great beach book.

Oh, yeah!!.......2006-04-23

These three stories are so good, so hot! This book will go on my keeper shelf. Ms. Fetzer is a GEM! Fantastic - much more than a mere 5 stars!!

Are men really this hot?.......2006-02-17

This is the first book I've read by this author. I'm hooked. I plan to purchase anything she has written in the past or will write in the future. This book consist of three novellas. All three heroes are to die for hunks, that can't possibly exist in real life. They were too tough, too tender and just so yummy I wished they could have materialized. The sort of hero portrayed in this book is the reason I read romance. This one is definitely a keeper.

Action, adventure, sex & Marines - what more could you want?.......2005-03-30

I don't think I've ever given an anthology 5 stars but this one was just so much fun to read that I'm rounding up from 4 1/2! I had only ever associated Amy J Fetzer with Irish medievals and did not realize that she even wrote military contemporaries. Since I'd never read ANY of her books, I decided to start with this collection of three short stories to get a feel for her style and to see if I'd enjoy it. Well, I certainly did! She seems to know her stuff when it comes to the military and the three Gunnery Sergeants she has created here are really yummy heroes!

Hot Conflict is the story of DJ McAllister and longtime friend Mary Grace Heyward. They met as teens, DJ the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks and Mary Grace, daughter of wealth and privilege. DJ has loved her for years but feels he's not good enough for her. Now she's been abducted while attending an event for her sister and her husband (the ambassador to Panama) and it's up to DJ and his team to save her. Will their time on the run through the Panamanian jungle reveal how they really feel about one another? 4 stars.

Hot Landing Zone has loner Jake Mackenzie and his team dropping into the lair of Al-Qaeda terrorist Kali in SE Asia to extract scientist Dr Katherine Collier who was abducted in Hong Kong and brought to this island to create a chemical weapon. Unfortunately, a major storm strikes during the rescue and Jake and Katherine are swept to a deserted island and must await rescue. During this forced time alone together she reveals the loneliness and isolation she has always felt being a child prodigy and now an "egghead" scientist who has difficulty relating to others. And Jake reveals his loneliness resulting from being orphaned as a child and never really belonging anywhere. Are they two kindred spirits who belong together? Oh, yeah! 4 1/2 stars.

My fave of the three was Hot Target - oh Rick!!!! I just really liked both Rick and Sam's characters! Rick Cahill and his team have their orders to extract Peace Corp volunteer Sam Previn from the Amazon. What Rick discovers when he arrives, is that Sam is actually a very pretty Samantha! But their chopper is fired on by drug lords/rebels/whatever (down there, take your pick!) forcing it to take off without Rick and Sam. And so they must trudge through the jungle to reach the alternate rendevous point. All the while becoming more and more attracted to each other. But Sam has a pretty big secret that she's keeping from Rick. Will it tear them apart once they return to the real world? 5 stars!

I really only read this to see if I'd like her style, as I've heard really good things about her most recent release OUT OF UNIFORM and thought about reading it. Well, with this fun collection, I've made up my mind that she's an author I'd like to read more from and I will definitely be ordering OOU.

Highly recommended if you love stories about men in uniform (and who doesn't)!

Book Description

It is 1987 and college professor Thomas Martindale is teaching a summer writing seminar at the university's marine center on the rugged Oregon coast. A marine biologist dies under bizarre circumstances and his assistant, Tom's former lover, is arrested for his murder. The death occurs during a conference of the International Whaling Commission at the center. In Martindale's mind, there are more likely suspects than his friend: the Japanese fisheries minister, an Eskimo whaling commissioner, and several radical environmentalists.

Soon Tom's investigation uncovers the murdered man's involvement in a graduate student's drowning at sea and his collaboration with the Japanese to alter whale population statistics. It also puts him in danger from unknown pursuers who keep following him in his car. At the same time, a large Gray whale has beached herself near his house, adding yet another twist to this perplexing mystery.

An excellent read from an accomplished writer.......2003-09-11

Ron Lovell is presently on the Journalism staff at Oregon State University. His career has spanned several writing positions in New York, Houston, Denver, and Los Angeles. He has written thirteen textbooks, and Dead Whales Tell No Tales is the successor to his first Thomas Martindale mystery, Murder at Yaquina Head.

Thomas Martindale is co-teaching a seminar on whales with Susan Foster, a marine biologist and former lover; Randy Webb, a journalism colleague; and Howard Phelps, professor and world renowned expert on marine biology. Several special interest groups are among the student body, including a Japanese fisheries minister, and Eskimo whaling commissioner, and a fringe radical environmental group. Naturally, the atmosphere is tense with whaling interests verses environmentalists, and it is not surprising that the Susan Foster's indubitably accurate report on the whale population is discredited and a new report more in tune with whaling interests is substituted. But when Howard Phelps is found murdered in the mouth of a beached whale, the plot thickens, as they say:

"Susan Foster. I have a warrant for your arrest for the murder of Howard Phelps. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford a lawyer..."

Marine biology is just another area that is begging for a great mystery to be written. The plight of the whales is an International concern, and Lovell does a thorough job of outlining the forces locked in battle and the reasons for the fight. He spins a straightforward tale full of interesting side trails, such as the lure of big money to professors who are supposed to be our leading minds, but who all too often succumb to the temptation of money and [physical activity] to undermine their position in our society. His characters are bigger than life, and his description of the Oregon coastline is simply stunning. Dead Whales contains a first-rate plot that snags the reader from the first page and doesn't let go until the final denouement. Thomas Martindale is an entertaining hero who exacts his revenge on his former love who has done him wrong just as he rescues her from certain doom. An excellent read from an accomplished writer.

A Real Pagae Turner.......2003-05-02

Dead Whales Tell No Tales is a great followup to Lovell's popular Murder at Yaquina Head! His protagonist, college professor and amateur sleuth, Thomas Martindale is a very real and "human" character who is driven in his desire to help those who he knows are in need.

Highly recommended! An easy read...lots of suspense and fun. Lovell keeps you guessing whodunit until the very end!

donovan adds wit and verve to rainbow fish.......2001-11-15

Gail Donovan has brought new wit and verve to the Rainbow Fish
series with this delightful book! My young son and I both
enjoyed the humor and drama of this undersea glimpse into a
'school' of fish and other sea creatures who reveal their
personalities-- familiar to anyone who's ever been to any
sort of school!-- through a wittily rendered session of
Show and Tell. Donovan's gentle humor and perfect ear for
both 'teacher-speak' and genuine kid voices make this book
one that can truly be enjoyed by both young readers and their
parents. I hope Donovan will continue to make Rainbow Fish
shine!

Book Description

The extraordinary life of Captain Charles N. Bamforth spanned most of the twentieth century, beginning with his childhood at the turn of the century and continuing through his retirement and death during the Cold War era. During his sixty years at sea, Captain Bamforth experienced the Depression, two World Wars, and a number of troublesome labor disputes. Through it all, he also had to navigate loneliness, confusion, and marriage to both his family and the sea. His story is told in meticulous detail and with refreshing honesty.

Captain Bamforth's handwritten diaries, logs, and personal letters all have been carefully compiled by his sons, Charles and Richard, and reveal as much about the hard-working, unassuming courage of the captain as they do about the turbulent times during which he lived.

Customer Reviews:

A Giant Imprint of the 19th Century.......2003-08-19

"Iron Jay" is classic American stuff; a great reading experience and absolutely absorbing from a social/historical perspective. Truly a working man's autobiography, the story sustains a tension that makes it intriguingly essential reading. Captain Bamforth's spirit is extraordinary -- chaotic and poetically tender in one quick flash. At one point you're in love with the man, idealist and poet; the next moment he looms up at you in patriarchal horror.

Iron Jaws.......2003-08-12

I wish everyone would get their own copy. I gave up waiting for those who borrowed mine to part with it so I bought a second copy that I will NOT loan out. It is a must for my library of favorites.

Suzanne Seller

A Rewarding Read.......2002-10-02

As the Skipper's granddaughter, I dutifully picked up this book... and then found myself turning pages late into the night!

Throughout the book, Captain Bamforth's voice comes through as authentically human and intensely engaged in the world around him, revealing an honest naivete, an unflappable work ethic, a remarkable sense of satisfaction in the rich details of his travels, and the challenges that his chosen life at sea imposed on his family and home life.

Some have said that my grandfather's stories are the stuff of legend. Keeping his crew alive for six days after his ship was torpedoed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean certainly falls in that category. At the same time, I think what's fascinating is the day-to-day perseverance of a very ordinary man, grappling with and embracing his understanding of right and wrong, of loyalty and betrayal, of life and peril in the 20th century. It is this testament of a hard-working man that, through its sincerity, becomes extraordinary and perhaps legendary.

Iron Jaw: A Skipper Tells His Story.......2002-09-02

An enjoyable and informative book. The narrative gives insight into the many aspects of being a sea captain far beyond the mere steering of a ship.

FAR OUT.......2002-10-18

Lilly lived close to my house in his final days and I read this book with particular interest. I was very disappointed. He seems to evince very little knowledge of modern parapsychology eg out of body experiences (a la Monroe) and his own "travels" and "contacts" seem to me implausible and more likely the outpourings of a deranged or drugged imagination than science. In all such areas the question of standards of evidence is key. I am not sure Lilly gave the matter any thought.

Five Stars for His Life and Work.......2002-03-07

After reading John Lilly's "The Scientist: A Metaphysical Autobiography," I have come to realize that drugs can indeed expand the mind. My own mind has expanded just by reading about John's far-out trips, and I didn't even need to take drugs myself! The danger in pursuing this course, however, is that the mind may expand so far past the current human consensus reality that those stuck in it will either find these ideals laughable or frightening. What is truly frightening though, is that no one can disprove the realities that John Lilly experienced while conducting his drug and sensory deprivation experiments.

I discovered John's work through an extraordinary coincidence... [When I decided to research him again twenty years later] I found that he had left our reality for good only a couple of weeks before.... Although I did not know the man personally, I will miss him dearly, and the world will feel the void left in his wake. Goodbye John, and good luck.

An intriguing biography.......2001-08-31

An intriguing biography of Lilly's work in animal communication, brain research and flotation tanks.
Much of his work is valuable and continues today in the form of NLP, meta states and human mental
development.

OF THE BOOKS/AUTHORS WHO MADE ME WHO I AM............2000-12-08

One of my four most influential authors, I first read of John in an Omni magazine and I do not remember what the story was about. Soon I was drawn to his books on dolphin research and I read every thing that he has written on them. He was the foremost pioneer and one of the best in dolphin research. One of his goals was to communicate with dolphins and he came pretty close but gave it up when he decided man was not ready for that knowledge. The movie "Day of the Dolphin" originates out of his dolphin research and showed how man has taken his research and knowledge, suppressed it to the public, and used it for power and political gain. One of the largest influences on me of the dolphin studies was my understanding that there were intelligent beings on earth either on par with or superior with humanity. Knowing and accepting this has been very influential in my life and how I have grown. I followed along on the rest of John's writings and learned from and was influenced by them as well. His books on spirituality and the world beyond our consciousness have lead me beyond many of the walls placed in front of my mind by our society. The movie "Altered States" originated from Lilly's book "The Center of the Cyclone" which was about his experiences with altered states of the mind. The presence of CCG's, or the Coincidence Control Group, that John met when out of his body has stayed with me since reading of them. For John was told by them that we have control of small scale coincidences but the CCG works with the large scale coincidences. His autobiography is a great overview of all that he has done and leaves me with awe and a desire to see and understand the world beyond what I have been taught.

John Lilly for President!.......2000-07-27

Boy, would that change things a bit! Dr. Lilly is an authority on some far-our stuff: dolphin communication, isolation tanks, and Ketamine. Mix them all together and what do you get? I don't know, but I wouldn't lend it my car. GREAT BOOK.

Can Be Useful.......2007-01-19

Designed for people who use walking as their main form of exercise, "The Essential Walker's Journal" has several parts. The first part explains how to use the journal. The second part asks users to write down their dreams. Next is a space to write down statistics such as weight, dress size, and cholesterol so that users can compare their stats before and after they start their exercise program. Next is a brief section on exercise, fitness, and nutrition. The next section is the journal itself, which is the largest section in the book. The journal is based on a four-month exercise program and there is a page for each day of the week, except for Sunday. Each page is full of useful information to be filled out, such as what you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, how far you walked, how much water you drank, and how many hours you slept. There is also a section titled "A Beautiful Thing" where users can write something good that happened during the day and a space at the end titled "Notes" where users can write down anything they want. At the end of each month there is a progress report section. At the end of the book is a section titled "Four Month Wrap-Up" with a series of questions designed to help users realize how far they've come in their exercise program and help them plan future exercise programs. Interspersed throughout the book are several testimonials from people that have lost weight and improved their health through Leslie Sansone's walking programs.

For the most part "The Essential Walker's Journal" was pretty useful. I like being able to track what I eat and drink each day, although there's not enough space to write it all down. It would be nice if I could keep track of how many calories I consume each day. Although the journal entries are dated Monday through Saturday, I ignore that and just put the date down. Since the journal is geared towards walkers, there's a section titled "Today's Walk" where you are supposed to right down how long you walked, but if I do some other type of exercise I make note of that in the space instead. Each day there is some tidbit at the top of the page: quotations, thoughts, diet information, that was fun to read. I also enjoyed the various profiles of people who lost weight through walking.

Leslie Sansone fans (and fans of walking in general) should find this journal to be helpful although they may need to make some modifications.

Good, and with just a little tweaking could be even better.......2006-04-07

I think keeping a log of your daily exercise & food intake can be very beneficial; putting it all down on paper and reviewing it periodically motivates me to stay the course in my goal of leading a healthier lifestyle and also lets me see what areas I need to work on improving. However, this book really needs bigger spaces to write in, especially the meals sections, which seem tiny and cramped. I'd also prefer it if it was set up to check off your daily intake of fruits, vegetables, multi-grains, etc the way it is to monitor water consumption. I do enjoy the inspiring daily "words to live by", and as a cancer survivor who finds something positive in each new day, I really like the space to write in "a beautiful thing" everyday.
