Great attention to detail, wonderful wit and yikes! a harsh dose of reality.

“First, I have to say that I was pulled head long into the book within a few pages. I used to live in NYC (Brooklyn Heights to be exact) and that was enough to hook me. I love the details about the city and it made me yearn for the good old days when I felt that big city excitement.”

Hard to stop once you start reading it

I generally don’t read fiction but this book was an exception.

“I felt like reading something really different and bought this book on a whim. But once I started reading it, I just could not stop. I finished it in one sitting!

Its a very fast paced drama. Events and characters unfold in unexpected ways which is part of the pull of this book. The book uses a truck load of medical terms I did not know. Heck I still don’t know after reading the book. But it did not, in any way, stop me from enjoying the book. Plan to buy the other books from this series.”

This book was awesome, Full of suspense and drama. Must read if you’ve read the first two, this one totally develops Candy’s character!

And God said “Let there be light!” – I suppose Con Edison had a problem with that one.-The Private Journal of Brian SheahanIt’s the hottest summer on record and new York City has gone dark.Communications go down, EMS, Police and The Fire department are flying deaf and blind. Subways halt in tunnels, Traffic and Street Lights are out! Tempers grow short, and people panic at the thought of another terrorist attack… Brian, Mel, Brooklyn, and the rest find themselves in the middle of it.

“Like the man said, Mel ‘Hell is one floor up’.”
Based on Actual EMS accounts of the 2003 East Coast Blackout.

Not Disappointed!

This is the fourth “Trauma Junkie” book I have read in the series and I loved it as much as the other three I have read. Tom Hobbs brings realism and endearing qualities to his characters, and pulls you into each emergency situation he encounters. This is a fast paced, heart pounding read. I finished reading it in two days and can’t wait for the next book. Well done, Tom.

A blast from the past: 5 years ago Brian’s sister gave a toast at his wedding… and he hasn’t spoken to her since. She’s returning home with something to share with everyone. As if that wasn’t enough? How about a balloon bending street person who takes a liking to her? Add to that Mel’s Mother in law, and Brian’s parents, and put them in a room for Thanksgiving Dinner… What could be more stressful than that? Well, maybe, a Jumbo jet crashing into a neighborhood in the Rockaways – but just barely.There’s a reason why they call it the “Crazy Season.”

Posted on | May 20, 2013 | Comments Off

Fiction: – (Earth, 2354) Apophis almost pushed humanity to the same dead end as the dinosaurs eons earlier. Although our past contained much good, many felt that our history also contained a lot that was shameful, and that perhaps we deserved extinction. Our culture created wonderful art and science, but also glorified mass murderers such as Caesar and Napoleon. Instead, this asteroid unexpectedly led the way to the unification of our entire planet almost overnight! It quickly dragged our divided race into the future. A few centuries later we blossomed into a unified space faring civilization on the verge of attaining inter-stellar capability. Then came a voice from the Jupiter system, relayed by a probe deep in the sea of Europa; an ice covered moon that orbits the distant gas giant. Doctor Illana Petrovsk, young scientist and seasoned explorer, a member of Earth’s “Directorate” heard its call…and everyone quickly discovered that the unexpected wasn’t that far away after all.

Trails in the Sand

Posted on | May 20, 2013 | Comments Off

From the Author

During the real-life drama of BP’s DeepWater Horizon oil spill, I served as a public relations director for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. I handled the media for the sea turtle nest relocation project that took place during the summer of 2010. At the same time, I was beginning a new relationship with a lost love from thirty-five years ago and was in the process of moving to Pittsburgh. Two weeks prior to the oil spill, twenty-nine miners were killed in a coal mine explosion in West Virginia, just a few hours from where I was moving. It all fell into place to write about the oil spill, the coal mine disaster, and a family facing disaster. Trails in the Sand explores  the efforts to restore and redeem what has been damaged.

Vámonos! (Humorous Action Adventure Novels)

Posted on | May 17, 2013 | Comments Off

 
“Bill Stephen’s Vámonos! takes a wry and realistic look at human nature and the result is fun, lively, innovative, and highly entertaining. Instead of editorial comment on the character’s foibles, the various critters do the job, and the result is often hilarious and deeply revealing. Though the protagonists get themselves into heaps of trouble, the general tone is upbeat throughout, often left me laughing out loud. I recommend ¡Vámonos! in the highest terms.” Florence Weinberg, Ph.d Author of The Storks of Caridad and Unrest in Eden

“From a literary standpoint, Vámonos! is a book about good. evil, redemption, and the human condition, and it handles those elements with grace, intelligence, and wit. Remarkably, it also does something that literary novels rarely do: while accurately capturing the zeitgeist of today’s Mexico, it delivers the kind of edge-of-the-seat entertainment usually found only in plot driven thrillers. Have you ever wondered what it might be like to ride a Harley, or maybe to ride one in Mexico? Vámonos! brings you those experiences, virtually in 3D, with as much excitement as anybody needs, and does so with close to zero predictability. And there is enough humor to keep you smiling through even the most suspenseful scenes. The ending is especially satisfying: not only do the main characters achieve redemption but so do readers, most of whom will not be able to finish the book without a surge of optimism and a renewed enthusiasm for their own slog through this veil of tears.” Jim Peyton author of The Vampires of Bustamonte

“I think the comparison to Christopher Moore and Carl Hiaasen is a good one. I’ve read several of their books. In fact, I enjoy listening to these types of books and think Vámonos! is perfect for the audiobook format. It’s funny with a charming, self-deprecating hero. It reminds me of a modern day Don Quixote. And the dialogue and situational comedy make it a great candidate for film.” Diana Lopez author of Confetti Girl and Sophia’s Saints.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONN:

C&W singer/songwriter Skeets Hollaran and best friend, piano player, Jesse Suarez, are both underachieving Austin, Texas, musicians. Skeets finds himself homeless when his soul mate, Gena Koster, kicks him out for philandering. Jesse’s landlord evicts him and threatens criminal action for his hot rent checks. They flee, on their Harley motorcycles, into the Mexican desert. They hope for a life-changing, pivotal spiritual journey of redemption: sin seared from their souls by the desert sun, atonement, and absolution of Skeets by Gena.
Instead, a riotous romp follows from the Mexican border to the small town of Tolencita where the despot El Jefe jails them and threatens their lives.
As you ride along with Skeets and Jesse on this Don Quixote-esque adventure, you find (in spite of the playful tone and often thigh-slapping humor) mankind’s foibles arrayed, illegal immigration illuminated, greed uprooted and foiled, and political oppression confronted and vanquished – all without a single gunshot.
Wonderful Josefina, the Mexican burro, also shows us if we are steadfast in our faith and stay the course, we can achieve our dreams, even though we might get diddled along the way.

ANGEL OF MERCY

Posted on | May 17, 2013 | Comments Off

What do you do when the choice you made was the wrong one? During the war, Jeff Hawkins’s tenderness had been nurse Angela’s sanctuary from the horrors of Vietnam, and his passion had been their salvation.

But Jeff had been wounded long before a bullet brought him to the EVAC hospital. Fearless, with nothing to lose, Jeff was the kind of soldier to whom they awarded Purple Hearts . . . posthumously.

Years later, when he encountered Angela again at a veterans’ reunion, she could no longer pretend that the madness of war had triggered their brief, all-consuming alliance.

Could they have a second chance? Or had she forfeited any claim to Jeff’s love when she did the unforgivable . . . married his best friend? Not all wounds are visible . . . and not all wounds can be healed by the soft touch of a nurse’s hands. But Angela knew he was worth fighting for . . . and Jeff was tired of fighting.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This book burst full blown from a dream. I loved writing every word and had a great time picking the perfect songs to open each chapter. ASCAP wouldn’t let me use the words without paying a gazillion dollars in royalties, so I chose titles that would invoke the mood and atmosphere of each chapter that followed. Angela and Hawk were such wonderful, but heart-breaking characters. He was a great hero, and she was the perfect person to help him heal. This was the final book in the ANGEL trilogy, with KISSED BY AN ANGEL and PHANTOM ANGEL preceding it. I lived with them for years, and I will truly miss having them in my daily thoughts.

AWARDS: Winner of the “ROMANTIC TIMES” Reviewer’s Choice Award for Series Romance.

Finalist in the Romance Writers of America Golden Choice Award.

REVIEWS:

“RENDEZVOUS” . . . “A heavy theme but skillfully woven with love and compassion.”

PHANTOM ANGEL

Posted on | May 17, 2013 | Comments Off

He shouldn’t have survived. . . not the crash landing in the Vietnamese jungle nor the years of backbreaking labor. But the painfully thin man with the arresting blue eyes had paid a high price for survival.

The man Melora Delaney faced across a rice paddy, the man she was to bring back to America, had lost his youth and his memory. As a psychologist she couldn’t restore Bo’s lost years, but she could help him begin life again.

Melora planned two months of intensive work with her patient. But then she came to know the man, who existence was a miracle of strength and will. When the time came … and it would … would she be able to let him go?

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: When I wrote KISSED BY AN ANGEL, Scott’s RIO and best friend was supposed to be dead. But he spoke to me in a dream, telling me not only was he alive, but he was still lost in the jungles of Vietnam and didn’t know who he was or where he was supposed to be. That created the question of what would a person do who has amnesia and doesn’t remember anything of his past, including where he was, why he was there and where was he supposed to be? I came to the conclusion that he wouldn’t likely try to escape if he had no idea what was on the other side of that jungle. Instead, he would be living in limbo, waiting for something or someone to help him. Before KISSED was even completed, Bo had told me his story, and I had to write it down so he would not be forgotten. I truly believe there are Americans who were…or still are…surviving, waiting for us to bring them home.

And the story didn’t end with Bo because Hawk then demanded to have his own book. Look for the third in the Angel series ANGEL OF MERCY, also available for Kindle. Whether you were Vietnam era or not, these stories will make you laugh and cry and understand the depths of wounds a war can cause.

REVIEWS:

“RENDEZVOUS” . . . “What I liked most about this book is that it seems for the most part absolutely real. No super-perfect characters. No phony love scenes. And a touching story that doesn’t require unnecessary embellisment. Please don’t miss this gem.”

“ROMANTIC TIMES” (4-) . . . “This books gets off to a fantastic start…this powerful tale will entirely engage your interest.”
