Reviews


“I was surprised that a foreigner understands China so well. The things you write about China are fair and unbiased, no matter the good sides or the bad sides. I believe your book is really a remarkable performance and it's my pleasure to read it.” -Guanli Lin, Manager of the production department of the Jiangxi Quanliang Wine Co., Member of the Chinese Liquor Review Committee, and National Liquor Evaluator

“Inside the Chinese Wine Industry will appeal to wine lovers or those who work or have an interest in the wine industry. It’s a book for readers who like statistics and enjoy speculating about what those facts mean for the future. I certainly learned a lot and am itching to try some Chinese wine!” Camille Turner, avid reader and wine connoisseur

In the heart of a raging blizzard Sheriff Jeff McQuede discovers a woman frozen to death in her car. At first he believes her death to be an unfortunate accident--until he finds clues that point to cold-blooded murder. Margaret's husband, Arthur, left her in the stalled vehicle to brave the storm and manages to reach Joe Trevino's isolated ranch. The case becomes more complicated because of the recent warehouse robberies at Trevino's store. McQueede finds that Trevino is Margaret Burnell's business partner, and that she has traveled from their Casper store to conduct a company audit. In addition, Margaret has planned to meet with her only child, a run-away daughter she hasn't seen in years. Trevino, the missing daughter, and Arthur Burnell would all profit financially from Margaret's demise. Has a relentless killer tracked and sabotaged the Burnells, or did Arthur simply abandon his wife for his share of the money, leaving her to die an icy death?

AN ICY DEATH is the fifth book in the Jeff McQuede High Country Mystery Series. Each book in the series contains a complete story and can be read as a stand-alone.

BLOG POST ➣ Today's Featured 99¢ Smashwords Book ➣ Time Travel Trouble by Tony Thorne MBE

An introduction to the concept of Time Travel, to the past and the future. Its paradoxes explored and expanded to their impossible consequences. The book includes a collection of eight speculative tales illustrating why it either cannot work, or it's far too dangerous to even try it.

Most scientists today seem to agree that Time is still a mystery. Also some of the things we do know about it now must seem weird , if not crazy, to the uninformed. For example, it’s a fact that a clock runs faster upstairs than it does downstairs, and a lot faster if you put it up in an Earth Satellite. However, the hard part to accept is the fact that it’s time itself that changes, not the clock. That statement may seem confusing, but atomic clocks on earth and in space have proved it. Our Global Positioning Satellite systems wouldn't give us accurate ground positions if the effect was not adjusted for in the calculations.

This fascinating book explores most of the paradoxes that would occur when time traveling e.g. What would happen to you now, if you had a fatal accident while visiting the past. How about returning slightly earlier many times and bringing back something valuable many times over? How about getting Shakespeare to save time by giving him a copy of his collected works? How about going to the bank with the same dollar bill, and finding everyone in the queue is you too!

The quirky tales illustrating the author's conclusions include:
Time to Survive – The perils of short term travel.
Testing Time – Some trips might be unexpected.
Timely Encounter - How to escape justice..?
Tomorrow the World – If only you could go back..!
Long Term Future – A safer way to proceed, maybe?
It’s Twisting Time – With a replication machine.
