Releases June 28th ~ Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3w0oTBO As the wife of a retired military spouse reading books with this theme can be a bit emotional. Especially when certain subjects are at the forefront. As always, Miranda Liasson keeps a firm grasp on what she is portraying and how she delivers it.

  Releasing June 28th - Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/38H07xY I have been abundantly lucky to have been able to live in Hawaii not once but twice. The lush vegetation, waterfalls, hiking trails, the people, the culture, and everything that you even remotely think about the beautiful state of Hawaii is showcased in project Project Namahana by John Teschner. A story of nature and what man does to ruin as well as to save it plays out rhythmically within. Thankfully, I've lived there, so the dialogue's cadence wasn’t familiar but rather smile-inducing. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the read. ~Tanja From the Cover... Two men, unified by a string of disappearances and deaths, search for answers—and salvation—in the jungles of Kaua‘i. Together, they must navigate the overlapping and complicated lines between a close-knit community and the hated, but economically-necessary corporate farms—and the decades old secrets that bind them. Project Namahana takes you from Midwestern, glass-walled...

Out Now~ Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3QHA4Ym I am constantly amazed at the power and perseverance of women and what they have done for this world. It is an inescapable fact that when women are left to the task they can do wondrous things for the greater good. ~Tanja *Thank you to @grandcentralPub for sharing this title with me. From the Cover... In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's Foreign Minister, Galeazzo Ciano, had permeated public consciousness. What wasn't reported, however, was how three women—a Fascist's daughter, a German spy, and an American banker’s wife—risked their lives to ensure the diaries would reach the Allies, who would later use them as evidence against the Nazis at Nuremberg. In 1944, Benito Mussolini's daughter, Edda, gave Hitler and her father an ultimatum: release her husband, Galeazzo Ciano, from prison, or risk her leaking her husband's journals to the press. To avoid the peril of exposing Nazi lies, Hitler and Mussolini hun...
