A man without faith shares his views as the end of life approaches.The views are reflections on religion, morality and death.The deeply religious will find little of interest here and may find some of the material incomprehensible. Some moderates who have noticed twinges of doubt or discomfort in certain beliefs may find some explanations for those feelings.
The faithless will probably understand it all. It is the author's hope that for them, it will be a pleasant read.
I am a retired electrical engineer, my career of 41 years spent mostly in Silicon Valley, California. I was one of those extremely fortunate individuals who enjoyed their work so much that it seemed unfair that I should be paid to perform it.
My profession required some technical writing but I never aspired to author anything that would be interesting to the general reader. Doomed Soul is my first attempt to do so and I hope that its introduction is a clear explanation why I chose to do it.
I currently live in Florida with my wife Babs and two bichon frise dogs named Boomer and Gabby.

Wedding planner Tyler Warren left heartbreak behind when she ran away from her small Southern hometown and started a new life in a big city.

Snowmen drift into your life like they were sent from above. The relationship is great, rolls right along, and builds. Everything seems perfect … until a little heat is introduced. Then they melt, leaving only their hat, their scarf, something to remind their victims of what they’d lost.
Urban cowgirl Haley Monroe is told that the fabulously hot guy who just dumped her was a snowman. Her friend Maximilian convinces her that the only way she’ll ever stop being played by snowmen is to become one. It takes a lot of drinks to work up the nerve, but Haley gets her sexy on and goes on the prowl.
Famous horror author Larry White drops everything to attend a midnight séance at Maximilian’s apartment where he meets Haley. By the way she’s dressed—and just propositioned him—he assumes she’s a hooker. Larry can’t pass up the chance to get inside her head, especially since prostitution is the character’s occupation in his next book.
After spending the weekend together, unexpected sparks surprise both Haley and Larry. The trouble is Haley is dead-set on snowmanning the unkempt “starving artist” she met at the séance, and Larry doesn’t think he could have a real relationship with a woman with a past, so they go their separate ways.
The real fun begins when they meet again and find out neither one of them were who they thought they were. Can they reignite the flame? Or will they have a snowman’s chance in hell?

Abby Donavan came to the small beach community of Crystal Cove to start over. After a painful affair broke her heart and derailed her burgeoning career, taking over management for the just-opened bed-and-breakfast was the safe choice. In this sleepy town, Abby figured she could bury her memories and forget the pain.
When the chance to have her own hotel falls into her lap, though, she can’t resist the temptation. Making the old Riverside Inn into the showplace she’s always dreamed of running offers the second chance she never expected.
Abby didn’t expect another kind of second chance to land on her doorstep at the same time. Ryland Kent wants to help her bring the Riverside back to life, and his passion for restoration is irresistible. But as much as she wants to ignore it, she can’t help seeing another spark in his eyes . . . one that offers to reignite her own flame.
Sometimes the path to a happily-ever-after is anything but smooth.
My Thoughts: Tawdra Kandle has to be one of my absolute favorite romance authors. She never fails to deliver a story that has plenty of feeling and heat. The Path was no exception. I love the world she has created with her Crystal Cove novels and all the characters.
Abby is a strong female, who is determined to prove that her past won't be repeated. Ryland is a stubborn guy who wants things his way and is ready to fight to get it. Abby and Ryland are an adorable couple. Their bickering entertained me. As the bickering grew into a relationship I loved them even more.
The Riverside Inn plays a huge role in this book. One I really enjoyed. I loved the picture that Tawdra Kandle painted of Riverside. She breathed life into the old Inn and made it an amazing piece of the story. Of course some of my old favorite characters made appearances in The Path, too. The Path is a beautiful love story. It could be read as a standalone, but trust me you'll want to get the whole Crystal Cove experience. Grab all the Crystal Cove books, and don't miss out on The One Trilogy either, since some of the characters cross over. I can't wait to read what Tawdra comes out with next!
Wedding bells will soon be ringing in the Rawley family, but gearing up for Van and Kay’s nuptials revives old insecurities for Kay’s sister-in-law Meg. When she learns that her ex-husband is asking for her from his hospital bed, Meg must confront the painful memories of her past.
Family is everything for Jeremy Rawley. Most important is the one he and Meg created together. But their beginning was tangled in memories he wishes his wife could forget for good. A call from her past brings them back to a place he thought they’d never have to be again.
Forgiveness may be the key, but the first step is finding the locked heart that needs it.
My Thoughts: All For Family is the third book in the Rawley Family series. It's the first book in the series I read, and the beginning was a little confusing to me. I don't usually come into a series out of order, so I'll be going back to read the first two books in the near future. That being said, it was a really great book.
My absolute favorite part was that the characters weren't "perfect". Meg especially, was perfectly ordinary. A divorced, slightly older, and curvy woman who was worried about her flaws. She is a character that others can connect with. I also loved, that although her life had been handing her some serious lemons, Meg was all about trying to make lemonade. She didn't whine or cry, but smiled and carried on. She was awesome. Jeremy is from a well to do family in a foreign country. He's a bit stiff and maybe a little snobby, but he's a good guy. Meg's love story with Jeremy was sweet. I loved the letters between them. They helped each other out, each bringing the other out of their shell a little. I enjoyed All For Family. The struggles and the fight to overcome them pulled the story along. I enjoyed the little hops in time throughout the book. I'm looking forward to getting the first two books to read and seeing what else Olivia Hardin comes out with.
On this anything but typical Monday morning Jenna Scali, who works part-time for a shrink, opens an email that depicts the brutal death of a young girl. On that same day the police uncover a dead coed two blocks from Jenna’s house. The e-murderer’s description creepily echos the death described in the newspapers.
When Jenna receives other emails, she takes what she knows to the police and thus begins her journey in the path of the e-murderer. Her curious nature impels her from e-messages to dead coeds to a ring of prostitutes. With the help of her quirky friends, Jenna learns that she’s more than a conduit for the killer. She’s his target. New secrets unfold, and finally her love life takes a tumble when the true killer emerges.
THE E-MURDERER is a race to find a psychotic killer before he kills again.
This new mystery series with a young female sleuth promises to keep you glued to your seat until the last page.
Excerpt: I parked in front of the old woman’s house, reached into my glove
compartment for a notepad, and mounted the steps.
“If you’re selling something, I got no money,” the woman’s gruff voice called out.
“I’m not selling anything, ma’am. I only want to talk to you for a few
minutes.”
“Are you from the newspaper?”
When I reached the front porch, I could see the woman’s crinkly face, soft like an overripe apple. Thick glasses pinched the end of her nose. Her stockings were rolled down to her ankles, and she wore a thin short-sleeved dress.
“My name’s Jenna,” I said, deciding not to share my last name. “Did you know the girl who lived next door?”
“Knowed ’er all ’er life,” the woman said. “This was ’er granddaddy’s house. He passed on come three years now, I expect.”
The woman’s light brown eyes looked huge behind those thick lenses. Sweat
trickled down her face. “Marty moved in several years ago. She was studying at the university. She’d bring me cookies now and again, poor dear.”
My heart froze and my throat tightened at the mention of the dead girl’s name.
