16). Laguna – Book Review
The first thing that stood out for me about Michael Putegnat’s novel, Laguna, was the author’s excellent writing skills. He has the ability to create a vision in the readers mind and employs a clever use of humor. Attractive hooks at the ending of most chapters kept me unable to resist reading at least the first paragraph or two of the next one.
Laguna opens with Octavio Paredes, the missing fisherman, and his wife Anajita.

Envy of the Gods, a science-fiction novel, has a cast of five main characters that struggle through a rise to leadership, tough ethical decisions, the re-discovery and use of ancient textbooks, and a society that strives for a better, more efficient way of life.

18). Simply Green Giving - Book Review
Many wrapping options are so wasteful these days – much of it cannot even be recycled, like shiny metallic wrapping paper and ribbons. During the research for our book, Trash Talk, we found that North American communities see contributions to the landfill increase by as much as 25% over the most popular gift-giving holidays. This equates to about 25 million additional tones of waste simply from our generosity to one another!
Danny Seo is one of those names that seem to stand out when we think of reuse and the environment.

D.J. Stephens has authored two fiction books to date, and though I have only reviewed Bearkiller so far, I am certain that readers will see the author’s name on their bookstore shelves beside novels like She Who Remembers, Antelope, and Follow The River.
