Listen, as I read to you from The Last Miracle Mile and share with you what I’ve learned about the trauma of victimization. I know firsthand about healing from the trauma of being victimized, and it’s my intent to teach others what I’ve learned so they can empower their lives. Mine is not your typical self-help book; it’s an inspiring hope filled story of healing, and forgiveness.

Run at Destruction contains a Reading Group Guide and is unique. It's the only book categorized in these two ways: True Crime and Sports/Running. Anne Rule, the best-selling true crime author of The Stranger Beside Me, Small Sacrifices, and Mortal Danger said Lynda's book is: "Wonderfully written. A must for true-crime readers." Sean Hartnett, correspondent for Track & Field News said: "Run at Destruction is riveting and compelling... the 2009 runner's read!" While Publisher's Weekly said: "this title... relies on the strong bond between author and victim for emotional weight; passages about their shared moments, and Drews's feelings of emptiness in the decades since, are remarkable." Lynda Drews, a Wisconsin native, recently gave the commencement speech at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, her college Alma mater. One lesson she shared with the graduates was: “to journal your life.” When Lynda, a marketing executive, made the decision to retire after her thirty-year career, she returned to an earlier passion. Run at Destruction is the outcome. Lynda and her husband, Jim, a retired guidance counselor and an accomplished runner, have two sons, Collin and Chris, and a golden retriever named Bailey. The family has lived in Green Bay since the mid-seventies and helped launch the local running movement. The city now hosts the nation’s fifth largest 10K, the Bellin Run.

There's a love triangle between three teachers/runners, a suspicious bathtub drowning, and a small-town community rattled by speculation. But rather than an intriguing work of fiction, the events in Run at Destruction: A True Fatal Love Triangle really happened and they happened to the author's best friend. On November 12 at 9:00 PM EST, long-time runner and book author, Lynda Drews, will be interviewed about her new non-fiction, true-crime book. Run at Destruction contains a Reading Group Guide and is unique. It's the only book categorized in these two ways: True Crime and Sports/Running. Anne Rule, the best-selling true crime author of The Stranger Beside Me, Small Sacrifices, and Mortal Danger said Lynda's book is: "Wonderfully written. A must for true-crime readers."

A Conversation with Horror Author Frank Bittinger all about ANGELS OF THE SEVENTH DAWN, Thursday November 5, 2009 @ 9:00 PM EST – Call in with your questions @ (347) 215-9836
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/yolandarenee
By way of introduction Frank Bittinger claims that he writes gothic horror -- ghost stories, vampires and such -- because that's what he enjoys reading, and what a lot of his readers tell him they enjoy reading. He is an avid animal rescuer and donates part of his royalties to this cause. He also personally rescues animals and has quite the menagerie of rescued animals. He was invited by Brian Keene to join him and other horror authors in Lebanon, Pa, to raise money for the humane society on November 14, because Brian knows how important animals are to him. He also collects books, and since the fire that destroyed his home and belongings last May, he has managed, with the help of readers, to restore over half of the over 5,000 books he once had.
Angels of the Seventh Dawn, released in 2007, is about vampires, wereanimals, a series of mutilation murders, and magic. And there are a few sex scenes in the novel, so it may cause some of you to overheat a bit. With Angels of the Seventh Dawn Frank continues the journey through Western Maryland. He says the fun part is creating all the characters and having their paths cross. He suggests that you come along with him and uncover more of the myth of the Scarabae, and be introduced to more of the people who live in Western Maryland and get comfortable, we have a ways to go before the end.
Instead of including an excerpt from the next novel in my kind-of-a-series, let me just tell you there are more books coming in the future. At this time, I have approximately five more novels and a collection of short fiction (which will serve as a sort-of-prequel to my kind-of-a-series) planned for my Western Maryland and the Scarabae legend. My Hexology, My Scarabae Saga: Into the Mirror Black in stores now #7 Preditors & Editors Horror Novel of the Year 2006 Angels of the Seventh Dawn in stores now #9 Preditors & Editors Horror Novel of the Year 2007 Angels of the Mourning Light in stores now Shadows Amongst the Moonlight October 2010 Illusions of Darkness: The Forbidden October 2011 Lair of the Scarabae October 2012 Other works: Sinister Landscapes (story "Lead Me Into Temptation") available now #8 Preditors & Editors Anthology of the Year 2008 What's It All About?

Renee’s Review
of
Angels of the Seventh Dawn
by
Frank Bittinger
Frank E Bittinger has created a novel with unique and unforgettable characters. The setting is an average hometown where a fight between good and evil could end in the apocalypse. However, in this novel the good is difficult to discern from the evil, and quickly puts this novel on a level different than most.
I enjoyed the unique skills and talents held by all the characters, whether a where-beast or a writer. The nightclub was a great setting with an interesting collection of creatures, angels, and demons.
This is a page-turner and the ending has a nice surprise for those of us who want more. I highly recommend this book. It is an excellent read from a very talented writer.

MARY ANN MACAFEE
author of
FROZEN TEARS
OCTOBER 22, 2009
9:00 PM EST
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/YolandaRenee/2009/10/23/A-Conversation-with-Author-Mary-Ann-MacAfee-1
CALL IN AT (347) 215-9536
Mary Ann MacAfee, a former financial executive in entrepreneurial environments, has earned degrees in accounting and finance. After completing a literary fiction-writing program at the University of Washington and several UCLA writers’ workshops, her short stories began winning awards. Frozen Tears was a 2005 finalist in the San Diego Book Awards, the same year her short story The Face won first place.
Check out Mary Ann’s website at: www.maryannmacafee.com
Mary Ann MacAfee has spent most of her life in Southern California, despite her east coast roots and ten years in the Pacific Northwest. She earned degrees in accounting, finance, and later a CPA in 1991. She and her husband forged a successful entrepreneurship that culminated in the sale of their Seattle-based computer retail business in 1998.
Thereafter, she completed a literary fiction-writing program at the University of Washington and several UCLA writers’ workshops. Drawn by the warm weather and abundant sunshine, she and her husband and son relocated to the San Diego area in 2002. Her short stories began earning awards, a couple of them published, and her first novel was a finalist in the San Diego Book Awards in 2005.
Her inspiration to write comes from her writer mother, a deep respect for nature, and personal experiences dealing with the extremes of joy and sorrow.
The tragedy that becomes the genesis for Kale Weaver’s allegiance to wolves and the circumstances making her target of a primitive superstition is challenging, to say the least. But nothing trumps what follows when she is confronted by the ultimate ordeal. Whatever the risks, she must fulfill a wish for her young son that she had never imagined for him.
FROZEN TEARS embraces the ethos of America’s Last Frontier, its splendor and its brutality. The story is landscaped with natural animals, native populations and their ancient myths and rituals, and diverse groups of misplaced refugees from contemporary culture.
Kale’s page-turning journey, above all else, shows that love can triumph over life’s most dire challenges and painful losses.

---------------------------------------------------------
Renée’s Review
Frozen Tears
Mary Ann MacAfee
Frozen Tears is a story of love, family, and promises. Kale is women determined to beat the odds, but hampered by social mores, the ruggedness of Alaska, and heartbreak. Kale’s story will tug at your heart but fill your soul with appreciation.
Mary Ann MacAfee takes an unusual setting with skillfully crafted characters then leads the reader on an unexpected journey. Her description of Alaska as a beautiful but unforgiving land, its inhabitants as eccentric, and Kale’s dramatic journey as mystical, gives her novel the literary flare of truth while meeting the reader’s quest for real adventure. The ending is unforgettable and Kale is a heroine of Great Spirit. I highly recommend Frozen Tears to readers of all genres. Her skill with scene description, characterization, and storytelling not only makes for a great read but is also a lesson in how it is done (writing).
Thank you Mary Ann, I consider Frozen Tears to be my number one reading choice of 2009!
