Roger Doss is a Computer Geek with a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Still, he understands that many people choose their stocks based on nothing more than gut instincts. Inside the pages of  Trader’s Intuition , Doss explores how choosing the right stocks, for short-term or long-term holdings, can have a profound effect on each investor's long-term wealth. Instead of devoting long chapters to how the stock market works, how stocks are bought and sold, Doss gets to the nitty-gritty in quick order. He starts with a precursor on stock brokers and stock brokerage firms and then moves on to costs involved for online investors.

For those with limited background in the stock market, Doss makes it easy to understand how stock patterns work, what to look for, and how to select specific industries and individual stocks according to your investment needs: short-term and long-term inc...

First-time author Beverly Herr gets many things right in her debut novel Written in the Stars , a historical fiction about a young woman living 150 years ago in the Midwest. Her life is hard, enduring the abuse of her grandparents after the death of her mother. And, she's never seen her father, and man from Italy, not in the picture. At least that's the story she's been told her whole life. At sixteen, the truth comes in the introduction of Timber Wolf, a Lakota warrior who aids in her abduction from the home of her uncles, where she has been staying.

This story reminded me of the female lead in Dances With Wolves , who is abducted at about four-years of ...

Once upon a time, an author from far far away wrote a story about Keira, aka Sleeping Beauty, and her Prince Philip. A story where Keira and Philip meet things that go bump in the night in their not-so-friendly dark forest of yesteryear. Beyond that, author Laura Greenwood has produced a very readable type of fairy tale, a story where there is much more to Hansel and Gretel than a daring escape from the wicked witch. In this story, young women from a nearby village go missing. Fortunately, the siblings (and Keira and Philip) are a lot tougher than ever, ready to do battle with whatever dark forces arrive, although Keira does struggle with throwing knives! Still, what would you say if your mother said, "My Dear Gretel,  “Advisor to a King, confidante of a Queen. Breaker of curses. Your destiny is great, but to attain it you must suffer.” Sounds a little ominous to me, but then again, this is, after all, the dark forest. The pacing is steady, with enough action and susp...
