Book Review
An explosive  Sci-Fi novel. Laurence St. John manages to draw readers into his world and captivate us with his writing and characters. I think my main praise for John would be his ability to use vivid descriptions to make the reader feel like they are in the world with the characters.
A smooth plot that keeps readers engaged throughout really rounds out the writing for me.
Wonderfully paced and Multi Dimensional characters really set this novel up for success.
 
About the Author

Laurence A. St. John was born on January 11, 1965 in Toledo Ohio. Laurence has one older brother and two younger sisters. Laurence along with his parents, brother and sisters moved once while growing up to Genoa Ohio, just south of Toledo. While attending Genoa Area schools, he was active in track, football and baseball. Later, after he graduated from Genoa High School (Comets) in 1983, he worked for a few manufacturing companies.
At the age of 23 and after three years of dedication, hard work and sweat, in 1988, Laurence received his first-degree black belt (Shodan) in Tae Kwon Do. This gave him the self-confidence and perseverance needed to surmount anything that came his way.
When Laurence was 25 years old he fell in love then married the love of his life, Julie in 1990. He then adopted her two young wonderful children Joe and Jan shortly after.
Out of high school for nearly fifteen years and after persuaded by his former manager, Laurence attended Owens State Community College where he obtained an Associates Degree in Microcomputer Business Systems while working full-time. In addition to computer classes, he enjoyed composition classes where he could free his mind and write what he wanted.
While working in the steel processing business for almost fifteen years, Laurence’s place of employment changed hands, for the third time in 2006; fighting for his job, again. In the same year his first granddaughter, Kendall, “Papa’s Angel” was born. He described this as one of the most uplifting moments of his life. In addition, it was during this time when his emotions were running wild; he became inspired as well as determined to write his penned-up thoughts on paper.
Nearly four years later, he had completed his first middle grade/teen fantasy/sci-fi novel, Metatron: The Angel Has Risen. In addition his second novel, Metatron: The Mystical Blade, was published in August 2014. His latest novel, Metatron: Dagger of Mortality, is published in 2018. The next Metatron Series Novels are projected to be published in 2019 and 2021.
Laurence currently lives in Northwood Ohio with his wife of 26 years, Julie. His son Joe is married to Cari and they have three daughters, Kendall, Sadie and Harper. His daughter Jan is married to Andrew and they have a son Eli and a daughter Evelyn. Laurence currently holds the position of Administrations Manager at Precision Strip, Inc. in Perrysburg Ohio, where he works full time.

I’m one puff piece
away from tearing up my journalism degree and hurling my laptop into the Hudson
River. So when I smell a juicy story brewing at my brother’s Wall Street
investment firm, I’ll do whatever it takes to get my scoop.
 
One clever disguise
later, I’m deep undercover as the firm’s newest broker, simultaneously
gathering intel and spouting off stock tips like a boss.
Go me, right?
Sure, it sounds good
on paper, but there’s a catch: The actual boss.
Chief Executive
Panty-melter Jack Holt is cocky. Infuriating. And one smoldering look has me
ready to violate every rule in the employee handbook.
Thank God my
assignment has an expiration date. Because falling for my brother’s best friend
and business partner is a lose-lose proposition. Right?
***
In the market for a
hot tip? Here’s one.
Don’t bang your best
friend’s little sister. Especially when she’s an investigative journalist and
your company is the target of her latest exposé.
Unfortunately I’ve
got a hard-on for high-risk bets, and I’m more than eager to invest my considerable stock
holdings in Ellie Seyfried’s… ahem… glorious assets.
Friends with fringe
benefits is a sweet deal, but it’s not long before I’m falling harder than the
post-bubble Nasdaq, hooked on Ellie’s sweet smile and determination to make the
world a better place.

 

There’s only one
problem…



When it comes to
risking my money, I’ve mastered every trick in the book. But how the hell do I
risk my heart?

Come a Little Closer

 

Title: Come A Little Closer
Author: Kim Karr
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 28, 2018

Blurb

I haven’t always been this bad…

Up until recently, I was the kind of girl who wore white cotton panties
and bent at the knees rather than the waist.

Pomp and circumstance changed all that.

Jaxson Cassidy was my first taste of bad, and I liked it more than I
should have. Just not in the way I was meant to. I couldn’t help myself though.
I found him irresistible. That sexy grin, those skilled fingers, and that
dirty, dirty mouth were a lethal combination.
I wasn’t supposed to want him. I wasn’t supposed to let him put his
hands on me. I wasn’t supposed to do a lot of things…but I did.
He wants to keep me close.
I should push him away.
He says he can help me.
I’m not so sure.
For some reason, he thinks there’s good left in me.
What if he’s wrong?
Everyone knows a good boy can’t turn a bad girl around.
Everyone knows it’s always the other way.
Everyone…except him.

❤️MOUNTAIN MANHATTAN❤️
 
❤️THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, FULL-LENGTH, FRANKIE LOVE
ROMANCE❤️
I work with my hands in the Colorado Rockies, forging metal into massive sculptures. I’m no Renaissance man–I’m simple–all I need is fresh air, solitude, and an honest day’s work.



When I’m commissioned to install a piece of art in Central Park, I know the gig is too good to pass up. But the moment I arrive in Manhattan, where skyscrapers ruin the view, I’m longing for my cabin on the mountain.

 

Then I meet Mia and the Big Apple changes before my very eyes. This city girl is working the front desk of the Mid-Manhattan Hotel when I check in and I can’t help but check her out. Dark hair, a laugh that fills the room, and curves that wind their way straight to my heart.
It starts as a whirlwind romance–but it quickly grinds to a halt. Mia’s been given notice at her job and since she’s raising her siblings in the hotel’s basement–they need a place to live, too. Her life is complicated. And I don’t do complicated.
I could survive in the wilderness for a long ass time–but I’m not lost in the woods. Right now, I’m trying to find my way out of this concrete jungle. Only trouble is, Mia is the detour I didn’t see coming.
But she just might be the road that leads me home.
