This is a powerful book, and also a very sad one.

I run a Computer Lab, we offer free classes, and we offer free internet access. It is based in a large homeless shelter, probably the largest shelter in North America, we offer beds to over 1,100 people every night. Who are these peoplee Well some recent surveys show that approximately 1/3 are addicts, booze, drugs, or gambling. Another 1/3 suffer from some kind of mental health issue, and the vast majority of all of the people involved have some kind of anti social tendencies.

I really enjoyed Dan Ronco’s latest book, Unholy Domain, it is set in the near future, and paints a bleak picture of what might happen in the aftermath of a computer virus that spreads through the Internet. More and more the net is becoming part of the worlds infrastructure. Email is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. If you look at 20 bill boards advertising companies you will find that 19 of them will have a www address rather than a phone number. Our reliance and acceptance of the Internet is all consuming. But is our reliance on the net too muche

I had the opportunity to ask Dan Ronco.

It is that time of year where you want to stock up on some books to read while on your summer vacation. Some Kind Of Angel might be one to put on your list.

Melvin Harter is a retired doctor and Some Kind Of Angel is his debut into the wild world of books. In this book we get acquainted with his main characters Sneetz and Muldoon, and I suspect that we are going to see more of this duo in future books.

There are a plethora of sci-fi books that have explored what the Earth would be like after the apocalypse, and generally the apocalypse in question is a nuclear war, or some sort of plague.

Unholy Domain takes this genre in a new and very thought provoking direction. One only has to spend a couple of minutes researching the history and growth of the Internet to realize how in the space of just a few years it was woven itself into the very fabric of our world. We have near instantaneous communication via email, we have access to enormous repositories of information, it has become a part of our day to day life. I could not live without it!

There are two very different schools of thought about historical fiction. One school rationalizes that it is an easy genre to write, the plot already exists, all you have to do is put it in your own words. The second school says that this genre is very hard to work in, much of the story line is cast in stone, the author needs to weave his characters into the fabric of the historical facts.

I am a member of the latter group, I believe that good historical fiction is very difficult to write. John H. Manhold has done a magnificent job with El Tigre, combining fast action into a very well researched and historically accurate canvas.

A high quality book review is about as good as it gets for an author with a new book interested in becoming a best seller. There are dozens of ways to promote a book today, yet most of them are far from advantageous when it comes to a simple business analysis of return on investment. Purchasing a PR package from one of the major PR firms representing new and established authors will cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars in fees. These fees do not promise a return on your initial investment in book sales, they just promise you’ll have the privilege of working with established PR representatives in the industry. Conversely, using a quality book review service for much less money one can obtain major publicity power for the cost of two tickets to a movie. If the author is lucky, one day the reviews done by those people could help the author land a movie deal of their own.

OK, so maybe this book does not have mass appeal. It is written by a teacher and aimed at other teachers, the plot, how to entice school kids to read. Reading is the very cornerstone of learning. Without the skill life is pretty darn hard for a school kid, and even worse for an adult.

I have my finger in many different pies, and one of those pies is an adult literacy program. Although I am only peripherally involved. I am always on the lookout for suitable material. Every book I read gets pigeonholed into one of three categories, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There is no doubt in my mind that Succession belongs in the Advanced group.

The writing style reminded me of a genre that was popular in the late 60’s and early 70’s, and during that period many authors fell for the lure. John LeCarre for example released The Naive And Sentimental Lover, while critically acclaimed it did not sell well, it was too complex in structure for many readers.

Jack ‘Scooter’ McAlister gives the world the impression that he has it all, this Bostonian businessman exudes wealth and success. But is it reale His magazine business is not doing as well as it could, and the problems of jiggling a wife and a mistress, are wearing thin on him. His favorite exit would be to sell the once popular magazine and run off with his mistress. Unfortunately one look at the financials are enough to scare off all but the most resilient of buyers.

In the April issue of Roundup Magazine, W. C. Jameson, the author of several books and a just published novel, discussed at some length \”The Honesty of Blurbs.\” He cited numerous examples of how these comments printed on the book jacket, or back cover of paperbacks, most frequently were \’dishonest.\’
