A Beautiful Award...

   The other day I was checking my blog comments and I got one from Deidria Eden-Coppel of A Storybook World. She was letting me know she really likes my blog and that she had something for me over on her blog. So off I went to check it out.

Look what I found....

                                           Wow...Isn't it gorgeous.


   I am so thrilled not only by the award but by her blog. You really have to check this one out.
 
   Go now here now. I'll wait.

   Okay welcome back. Isn't she the cutest thing? I learned Deidria is  a full time writer and she also does animation for ebooks. Talk about talented...and busy. She also has a website.

    So once again I would like to thank Deidria very much for the award. It is now proudly posted on my new awards page as well. As a matter of fact it is the award that got my butt in gear to make an awards page.

Veiled in Shadows by Allan Russell

   This is the first and hopefully not the last book by new author Allan Russell.  "Veiled in Shadows" takes place in Germany and England in the years before and during WWII.  The book centers around the half German, half English Princess and all the lives she touches.  This book tells the story of the beautiful Bavarian Princess known as Victoria Chesterfield to her English friends and family, and the Princess Katharina von Brunnenstadt to all those who know her mother's family in Germany.

   The book is a fast paced narrative from the view of  the two men who love her, the young handsome German SS officer, and the English RAF pilot.  Her faithful servants the gamekeeper at her Bavarian Estate, his wife and a young Jewish girl, all who would not hesitate to give their lives to help their beloved Katharina.  Her English Cousin and others. 
 
 This multiple point of view narrative is very hard to pull off, but Allan Russell does it.  He all allows us to see all sides of the war and how it affected the people caught up in it.

   If you are looking for a good fast pace adventure, I highly recommend this book for yourself or as a gift for someone on you gift list.


   This book was given to me by the Author for review, with no obligations.

Few options remain for Byron. A talented but stubborn young man with a troubled past and rebellious attitude, his cockpit skills are his only hope. Slated to train as a Cosbolt fighter pilot, Byron is determined to prove his worth and begin a new life as he sets off for the moon base of Guaard.
Much to Byron’s chagrin the toughest instructor in the fleet takes notice of the young pilot. Haunted by a past tragedy, Bassa eventually sees through Byron's tough exterior and insolence. When a secret talent is revealed during training, Bassa feels compelled to help Byron achieve his full potential.

As war brews on the edge of space, time is running short. Byron requires a navigator of exceptional quality to survive, and Bassa must make a decision that could well decide the fate of both men. Will their skills be enough as they embark on a mission that may stretch their abilities to the limit?"
