Review by Anne K. Edwards, author of Shadows Over Paradise and The Last to Fall

Title:  The Case of the Displaced Detective, The Arrival

Author:  Stephanie Osborn

Publisher:  Twilight Times Books

ISBN:

Genre:  Mystery

397 pages

For the fan of any mystory involving Sherlock Holmes, This nonstop action tale will delight and satisfy you and you will definitely go looking for other great tales by talented author Stephanie Osborn. A taste of the future and new possibilities open up for the world purely by accident as Dr. Skye Chadwick rescues Sherlock Holmes from the hands of his arch enemy Moriarity.

Thus Sherlock finds himself pulled forward into another century and a new life. As Sherlock adjusts to this new placement with the help of Dr. Chadwick and others, he finds he must learn new mores as well as new information as he becomes involved in a murderous plot to either steal or destroy a secret project.

A glimpse into our future as knowledge expands and is put to new uses.  A great tale of suspense, romance, intrigue and action with murder added to the mix thst draws Sherlock and Skye Chadwick into danger.

Visit the lovely Colorado mountains vividly described by Author Stephanie Osborn and the chamber where Sherlock entered his new life. The attraction between Sherlock and Skye makes him seem much more human and approachable.

The flavor of this tale is a mix of the old and the new and, like Sherlock, will make the reader long to return to the old times as well as love to explore the new.  I’m happy to highly recommend a fun read that kept me on the edge of my seat, a nail biting story, beginning to end.

Enjoy. I sure did.

Under contract only the first of August, the manuscript was so polished Tracey Mitchell had the cover art and e-book ready in record-breaking time. The paper and hardback editions are scheduled for release December 1, 2011. What a feat!

Chuck Walsh is ecstatic! This novel is dedicated to his uncle who is protrayed as Sammy, the WWII veteran who is dictating his story, and is unknowingly saving his family in the process.

Cheers!

EYEWALL is #1 on Kindle! This is fantastic! Buzz Bernard is on the fast track to international success! This is only the beginning. His next novel is EBOLA. What happens when a terrorist gets his hands on the ebola virus and makes it airborn in Atlanta? Hold on, that isn’t the end. His third is SUPERCELL. A multitude of tornadoes converge on the midwest USA. Holy flying cows! This will make all other tornadoes looks like whirlwinds!

I am telling you, this is one author with a connection to the dark side of Mother Nature.

Only one month after signing with Mitchell Morris Publishing, Chuck Walsh’s A Month of Tomorrows is a five star book on Amazon! Signing the contract in August 2011, Tracey Mitchell of Mitchell Morris Publishing saw the potential of the extraordinary novel and had it streamlined into production so it could be released September 1st. This is amazing! His hardcopy – both paperback and hardback – will be out in December 2011.

This is one inspirational love stories ever written. I believe it surpasses The Notebook by a mile!

The Man Called Brown Condor

by Tom Simmons

represented by Jeanie Pantelakis

John Charles Robinson, known in the media of the 1930s as The Brown Condor of Ethiopia, struggled to overcome the racial prejudice that all but closed the field of aviation to Blacks. His outstanding success in accomplishing his dream of flying, his influence toward the establishment of a school of aviation at Tuskegee Institute (there would have been no Tuskegee Airmen without him) and his courageous wartime service in Ethiopia during the Italian invasion in 1935 are brought to life.

It was during Robinson’s service to Ethiopia that he took to the air in opposition to the first Fascist invasion of what would become World War II. This remarkable American Hero may have been the first American to oppose Fascism in combat.

WE MUST REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE PAVED THE WAY!
