Here’s what readers are saying about JAGUAR HOPE:

5-star review by Sandra Saidak

This novelette was a tightly-written, fast-paced thrill ride. I’m not much of a short-story reader, and I never read them in one sitting, but this one I did. Jaguar Hope really is a book that you can’t put down (but for those of us with jobs and kids, the short length helps!) I read Zero Time, the novel set in the same universe, but it’s not necesarry to read the book first to enjoy the novelette. But if you read Jaguar Hope, you’ll probably want to read Zero Time!

4-star review by kraftygirl 

Enjoyed this book a lot. The humanimals were an interesting concept. The character names a bit difficult at first until you get into the story.

JAGUAR HOPE is also available on Amazon in print and audiobook.

Dancing with the Devil

When writing mysteries, crime dramas, and horror writers, sometimes have to delve into the darkest part of humanity and what it means to be human. This Monday, The Writers' Lens is going to give its readers an opportunity to do the same. This week we're giving away a free copy of Dancing with the Devil by Louis Diaz and Neil Hirschfield.

Dancing with the Devil is one of the most accurate, painful and memorizing memoirs regarding undercover work that I have read. Most people get snippets of news and tiny peek at the war on organized crime across the television sets over breakfast or dinner and then go about their daily lives believing that they are completely safe from the terror is just outside the door. We often forget that there are human "sheepdogs" the stand between the wolves and the people. Some the "sheepdogs" wear the uniform and probably show their badge. Others must go undercover.

We rightly welcome home our veterans from wars overseas, and into family arms and friends they can find sanctuary again. But what is it like to return home every day and know that your home, your loved ones, your closest of friends, or in the middle of a war zone? What is it like to not be able to tell them what you do for fear that would put them into danger?

Reading books like Dancing with the Devil and talking to those who have lived this life would open your eyes to a world you may never have understood existed.
