Steve Roach is a leading American pioneer in the evolution of ambient/electronic music, helping shape it into what it is today. ![]() This sense of an omnipresent dimension of tranquility and transcendence is the heart of A Soul Ascends.

This is good! Riveting, exciting…kept me guessing. I devoured it…You NEED to read this!’ Real Reviewer ‘An edge-of-your-seat, page-flipping, stay-up-all-night, heart-racing suspense thriller!’ Real Reviewer ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Evanovich claimed this to be a "screwball romance"-I didn't see it as particularly screwball. Maggie is a bit like Stephanie in that she doesn't conform to the norm for women-Stephanie doesn't want to get married and be a housewife-instead she's a bounty hunter Maggie isn't so sure about marriage herself but mostly she wants to fulfill her promise to write a book based on her Aunt Kitty's diary-and to get away from her mother, aunt, and the other ladies of Riverside who want to put her into a mold. Elsie and Grandma Mazur do have some similarities: both don't always have verbal filters and both have a tendency to carry large, loaded guns in their purses. ![]() I prefer Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series to this earlier book, but after reading other reviewer's comments I now see some parallels between her Plum characters and this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s how an unusual bond of friendship is created, a bond which will be tested many times because the beginning of the 15 th century in the Mezo America was hardly a peaceful period. ![]() After a while they find out that, instead of fighting, they can teach each other a lot.

I try to avoid him and his temper at all costs. The scrub techs say he’s cold-blooded, the nurses say he’s too cocky for his own good, and the residents say he’s the best surgeon in the world- really, just a swell guy!-on the off chance he’s within earshot.
