One of my all time favorites, Ken Follett has just announced that his new book “Winter of the World!” 

What a great way to start the New Year with anticipation of a new novel by Mr. Follett!

Winter of the World – the sequel to Fall of Giants – is a story about a group of families in the dramatic events leading up to World War II, and during that tumultuous conflict itself.

There is an American family, a German family, a Russian family and two British families, and their desires and ambitions, and the events of the day, shape their relationships and fates in extraordinary ways.

Winter of the World, the second novel in his ‘Century’ trilogy, is due to be published in many countries in September 2012. Around the time of publication, Mr. Follett planning to visit the USA, Spain, Italy, France, Germany and several other countries.

I know as his others, Winter of the World will be a big hit!

Have you ever had an operation? At the hospital?

Were you scared?

Was your family advising you not to have the procedure?

Did you think about all the germs?

Or are the doctors worse than germs?

Did you think about staph infections?

A minor operation, could you die?

Wow, this hospital looks and feels like a luxury hotel, but…

Laurie Montgomery, medical examiner, was very concerned about the upcoming knee surgery of her husband Jack, a fellow medical examiner.

Why shouldn’t she be? After all several patients had died at three different Angels Group Hospitals.

The patients were healthy, what was going on?

Angela Dawson, CEO of the hospitals was very concerned, but wanted the upcoming IPO for investors to go well to raise the necessary cash to keep her hospitals afloat. She didn’t want the medical examiner’s office to be nosing around in “her” business venture.

But people were dieing!

Why?

Laurie had to know why!

Read “Critical” and enjoy a great medical mystery!

Got an email from one of my favorite authors, Ken Follett, today announcing his latest work, “Fall Of Giants!”

This is the first of a trilogy from his “Century” series.

The second book is due 2012 and the third 2014.

The release date for “Fall Of Giants” is September 28.

I am really stoked about this new novel and hope to buy one shortly after the release date!

Mr. Follett’s “Pillars of the Earth” mini TV series was a smashing success and will be released on DVD in December. I did not get to see this on TV, but I will buy the DVD and give you a report.

Author Follett is going on an extensive 5 month book signing tour including Atlanta, sure would be nice to meet him and get an autographed copy! Sensational!

As most of my readers now know, James Patterson is my favorite author!

I have most of his novels and enjoy going back and rereading several times!

The 9th Judgment did not disappoint.

This sometimes spine-tingling, fast-paced, heart-rendering novel is a another Women’s Murder Club hit!

Having daughters and a daughter-in-law remind me too quickly what can happen to them and my grandchildren if a maniacal killer reared their ugly head in our area.

This particular book seemed too delve more deeply into the private lives and feelings of the “club.” Especially Detective Lindsay Boxer since she has a fiance now and is experiencing the many sides of giving and taking in a martial relationship as they are living together.

There are actually two cases of murder that Rich and Lindsay are investigating the “the Lipstick Killer”, and the other involves a cat burglar nicknamed “Hello Kitty” which also involves the murder of  a famous actor’s wife.

As always I never reveal to much, but I can attest to reading the entire book in about 4 hours! Could not put this one down!

Thanks again James Patterson! A must get for yourself! The 9th Judgment!

I am also presently reading “Standard of Honor” by Jack Whyte and “The Assassin” by Stephen Coonts.

Be sure and read a fiction book today!

Could you be dead and not realize that you are?

Are you dead, Kristin Burns?

Is your affair with your boss, Michael Turnbull, just in your imagination?

Are your alleged photographic abilities a liability?

Why do some people cringe and seem petrified when they see you?

Are you dreaming or in another dimension?

What if James Patterson is telling us of life after death?

Do you believe?

A confounding novel!

Many thanks for another great Christmas gift as I read “You’ve Been Warned.”

Yes, this is a different kind of read from Mr. Patterson, but why not!

Change is good!

Many reviewers online rate this book poorly, but this outstanding read kept me spellbound!

Every book by Mr. Patterson does not have to be about Alex or the Woman’s Club!

The many twists and turns had me wondering what was going to happen next.

Every fact of life was covered: life, death, love, kids, sex, jobs, greed, lies, truth, marriage, single, schools, deceit, lust, ghosts, nightmares, and life-after-death!

Every book is not for everybody, but change is good! Read “You’ve Been Warned” for yourself!
