A compelling reconsideration of how friendship enables us to be accepted and loved for who we are and make a difference in the world…
Family physician and counsellor Dr. Winfried Sedhoff opens the book with the recital of his depression-sodden months during his post-graduation training, which he spent holed up in a one-bedroom rental in Sydney after resigning from his job and mulling over his deepest fears and emotional pains only to realize a new sense of belonging. The knowledge he gained at the time built the basis of many books he wrote later. In The Friendship Key, Sedhoff explains how man has keenly exaggerated his need for power and wealth, so much so that his inner unleashed beast has endangered himself, the people he loves, and the society as a whole. A ruthless pursuit of prosperity and status had changed man’s priorities and distanced him from the things that really makes his life worthwhile: most important among them is having meaningful relationships. As a social animal, man’s desire to be valued, noticed, appreciated, heard, sameness, validated /approved, respected, cared for, supported, and protected: his desire of the Ten Desires, is copious. Sedhoff makes an intelligent case for the “Ten Desire” rule: how by giving others validation, notice, approval, and support, we make them feel valued. The book offers eye-opening insights to help readers sort out their priorities and build meaningful relationships, build-up business success to global standards, eliminate injustice, hate, and racism and bring communities together, and ultimately rid governments of corruption by restoring them to the people. While every argument Sedhoff put forward ..full review on website.

Brilliantly-written and highly entertaining, a must read…
Campus Confidential introduces the gutsy Doctor Rowena Halley, a new PhD professor who gets a temporary teaching job at poverty wages in New Jersey. While the job doesn’t help her with her quickly dwindling finances, it puts her in the path of some very dangerous people. Stark writes with the self-assurance of a veteran author: her writing is witty with a healthy dose of dark humor, her characterization shines, and the dialogues are unusually clever. The narration flows effortlessly, and readers will find..full review on website.

A brilliantly up-to-date thriller that entertains as well as educates…. L. A. Starks’ latest novel, the third in Lynn Dayton Thriller series is vividly up-to-date, involving global cybersecurity concerns and oil and energy politics. TriCoast Energy executive, the ever vigilant Lynn Dayton races to uncover a global conspiracy that threatens to disrupt the company’s oil refineries across various locations in the country while a shadowy Chinese group recruits dangerous people and works tirelessly to take over the American oil refineries’ operations for their own twisted reasons with the help of inside information from a TriCoast Energy employee. The chapters shift between different settings from New Orleans to California, Europe, and South America, and despite the author’s multiple focus in terms of settings and characters, the narrative is easy to follow. Starks is good at the details (the reader learns a lot about working of oil refineries), her narrative flows easily, and she writes crisp action scenes without much blood and violence. The pace of the book is fast, which keeps the reader hooked to the book. The characterization come out a little flat, but it’s expected with all the technical mumbo jumbo in case of techno thrillers. Among shifting locations and a large cast of characters, Starks proficiently builds suspense toward a tense,..full review on website.

Intense and heartrending…
Lutman brings forth a collection of fourteen short stories that throws readers into the emotional lives of people escaping from life. Each story reveals the world of characters who have almost given up on life. Some of them succeed, others face heartbreak, and a few lucky ones find redemption. Frequently caught between hopeless despair and passing pragmatism, Lutman’s characters are as susceptible as they are intriguing. The stories vary in tone. In the Creek Bait, the protagonist struggles to decide a life path. Corporal Miller fights delusions and despair as he meets his end in The Great Cause. In A Pretty Hand, Cass Franklin struggles to come to term with his newfound freedom and his wife’s death after his release from jail. In Crossing the Great Divide, a husband has given up on his marriage while the wife refuses to acknowledge the failure of their relationship. In The Calf, the protagonist holds onto a dim hope and is unable to let go of the past. Colonel Hidalgo of the Ninth Regiment in The Blue Lady meets a shocking end on a train journey. The Padre is unable to see a ray of hope despite being a believer in Laughter for Padre. But it is Lutman’s characterization especially of beautiful, intense, and impossible female protagonists in stories that drive..full review on website.
