Genre: Historical Fiction

Title: Traces of a Lost War

AUTHOR: Richard Barone

Traces can weigh more heavily upon the heart of an individual more than a full bag of sand. This idea never occurred to young Andrew D’Oria when he graduated from college and enlisted in the United States Army for the express purpose of attending Officer Candidate School. As with most, best laid plans, this also went awry. Andrew soon found himself as a radio operator in an infantry company in Vietnam.

Along with Andrew we follow the life of his friend Eliot Penman who set out on the same path as Andrew, but traced his own path through life and war.

How do they end and how many times do their paths intersect? Read this book and learn some of how we grow and live and learn and carry the burdens of life.

In Richard Barone’s first book he has crafted a great story. To any veteran, especially of the United States Army, of the modern era this book rings of a genuineness that can be given only by someone who has served. This is best exemplified by his criticism of statuary that incorrectly portrays how a soldier carries a weapon. Soldiers see these things.

This is not to say, this book should be bypassed by those who haven’t such a background. This book is written in such a style that any reader can feel a part of the story and become one with any or all of the characters so well designed. They come to life and soon the reader forgets where he is and finds himself on patrol in the steaming jungle.

This reviewer has read several books of experiences during the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Mr. Barone’s work definitely ranks at the top of this list. Highly recommended by reviewer: John Helman, Allbooks Reviews.

This book is available through any bookseller.

Title: Rocket Man


 


Author: William Elliot Hazelgrove


This is a fictional story about the generations of a family and sibling differences. How a patriarch can make his son feel like he is twelve again just being around him. A story filled with quirky and funny happenings as D.T. the second is trying to find his part of the American dream and do something for his son as well, in reestablishing a closer bond between father and son. D.T. the second is looking to rebuild a relationship with his son Dale like it used to be when he was younger. Most fathers wish this for their children as they chase the American dream. The character of D.T. senior is a traveling salesman. The exchanges between D.T. senior and second who senior calls junior are at time poignant and funny.


Mr. Hazelgrove is an award-winning author of fiction. He was born in Richmond, Virginia. His father was a traveling salesman who moved the family outside of Chicago when Mr. Hazelgrove was fourteen. After college, he held many jobs, such as teacher, baker, and construction worker to name a few. Mr. Hazelgrove finally settled in Oak Grove, Illinois, the home of Earnest Hemingway where he lives today as a full time writer.


This is at times a funny book. Many readers will be able to relate with the character on some level. The characters are well developed and true to life as is the dialogue. Although, some readers may find parts of this book might not be suitable if they take offense to some profanity, even if in the proper context. Rocket Man is a story about the faults within a family; presented at times in a, funny and different way of handling situations and family members. If you are looking for a book to read, Rocket Man is recommended as a better than average read. Try it for yourself and see. Reviewer: Bob Medak, Allbooks Review www.allbookreviews.com

Our Authors Say it All! (read more in Author's Comments)

I truly appreciate the level of sincere thought that was expressed in your review. I clearly have placed my trust in AllBookReviews with good reason. Your kind words, ease of access and ability to work with have added value to my effort.

I have spent long, emotional and pain driven hours to capture thoughts surrounding my life to put into words. I am aware of your time and how precious each review becomes. I will always recall this experience with integrity, honesty and clarity.
 
Thank you,
 
Kris Courtney, author Norma Jean's Sun/ Memoir

Shirley,

     I don't know if it's a coincidence, but since my Allbooks Review was posted on American Chronicle, my book is being referenced on a number of new and interesting web sites (including Fawlty Towers and Are You Being Served? fan sites).  Thanks again for all your help in getting my book's title out there.  You know, your website makes reference to how small the fee is for the promotional services you provide, and that is the absolute truth.  I'm really glad I found Allbooks Reviews.


Joel Bresler, author Letters to be read in a Heavily British Accent






Good Morning:  Shirley



I am speechless - and I send my best regards and gratitude to Emily-Jane Hills Orford and yourself. What a wonderful review! It is stated so beautifully! I just love it! I have a very good psychic who informed me that I would receive wonderful support for my book in the USA and particularly in Canada. And that has certainly been proven. Yes, I am interested in working with you. You can outline your thoughts and fees.

Again, I am so pleased - this report is so beautifully and complimentarily written - recognition, per se is so rewarding! I am so happy!  All good wishes, Angus Munro, author of A Full House- but empty.






Editing Praise for Lisa Haselton.


Wow! I'm almost lost for words. Lisa's editing is a work of art in itself. My immediate reaction was to abandon my amateurish attempts at writing, to say thank you and to take up a less demanding task, say gardening. Having absorbed her observations, however, I feel challenged to use her in-depth analysis towards producing a polished professional novel.James, author of Killer Butterfly




Dear Shirley,

I must rave about the exceptional quality of the edit I received from Allbook Reviews!  Lisa Haselton surpassed my expectations on the job she did for my manuscript The Eyes of a Man, and many of the errors she caught I never would have, regardless of how many times I went over the text.
I should also mention that your prices are the best I've found anywhere.  What I spent was worth every penny and I'll be sending my future projects.
My sincere gratitude to both you and Lisa, Dawn Roberts





Thank you again from a UK writer who is thoroughly impressed with your organization.   I shall not fail to recommend Allbooks Review in the highest possible terms.   Thank you Shirley, and thank you Lisa.Best wishes   John von Kesmark
