Spread the word to those who like mystery crime thrillers...Terminal Life: A Suited Hero Novel is available for pre-order on Amazon:
Luke Stark, a Special Forces veteran, returns home from his second tour in Afghanistan to learn that his wife has been mysteriously murdered and his son has disappeared. Already suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, these tragedies push him over the edge. He has also been diagnosed with an incipient form of cancer, but he forgoes treatment, a decision that is akin to a slow suicide. Although he languishes in a shelter, he wears an impeccable suit, an eccentric characteristic that sets him apart from his fellow down-and-outers and just about everybody else. He is nicknamed, somewhat ironically, The Suited Hero. Revenge and the search for his son spark a kind of rebirth in him that is as cathartic as it is brutal. This leads him into the dangerous world of illegal prescription drug distribution, where nobody in this gripping mystery crime thriller- not even some family members-are who they appear to be.

Delightful cartoon illustrations and easy to digest facts I love this book! I train and care for MORRIS, THE 9-LIVES CAT, and many cat books don't interest me, but I bought this one. The combination of delightful cartoons and easy to digest facts and stories make this book a stand-out favorite in my collection. I love the drawings of the cats because they communicate the magic that only a cartoon can! I was delighted to find information here that I...

Bravo - a classy job in honor of a classy man.
This is definitely not your typical cut and paste job - it is a classy, well-written, interesting photo/guide/memoir to probably the greatest film star of all time. Is there anyone even CLOSE to Cary Grant working as an actor in Hollywood today (and please don't say "George Clooney")? Grant's remarkable, disciplined, yet seemingly casual, attention to his appearance went deeper than just mere...

The longing for that chance of destiny to meet a special person who will make you feel a little less alone, maybe even a little bit adored, is so wonderfully told and illustrated by Richard Torregrossa you cannot help...

A Celebration of Babies
When I wanted to have a baby, I bought this book and gave it to my husband and told him, "See, babies can be fun, as well as a lot of work, but in the end it's worth it. You'll see." And it worked. We have a lovely 8-month daughter named Annabel, and my husband loves her. Had it not been for the persuasive charm of Richard Torregrossa's book, we might still be single parents. I give this...
