Actually, this is really Martin'In "Dust of the Earth", author Mark Lages introduces readers to Martin, the most "human" computer you will ever meet. Actually, this is really Martin's autobiography, and the story unfolds as a "first person" narrative. Jim Applegate is a young man from a well-to-do family in Aiken, SC. Just eighteen when both parents die in an auto accident, Jim inherits a sizeable fortune, quits college, and retreats to the family home. By the age of twenty-two, he began to move forward with his life, eliminating the trappings of his wealth for which he had no need, and using the vast amount of available funds to follow his dream. Thus, Martin was born--"given life"--Artificial Intelligence (AI) by his creator, Jim. Martin surpasses the special qualities with which he has been imbued by Jim--developing his own distinctive characteristics, maturing almost in the way a child grows. He plays games, tells jokes, makes friends, and becomes a writer of poetry and children's books. He learns about love. When he is questioned about various subjects, and asks questions of his own, the people around him (and readers of his story) are intrigued and enlightened--their thoughts are stimulated. By the time Martin's story draws to a close, readers will surely agree that there is nothing artificial about Martin's intelligence. He is a life force all his own. I really enjoyed reading about Martin and his friends. Food for thought: What does it say about human nature that a machine could be more human than most people, and that those people could learn about being human from a machine?

Evergreen, Vermont is a quaint little close-knit community where Christmas is not just a holiday, it's a way of life. The residents work together to keep the town the popular tourist attraction that it is, and a magical "make a wish" snow globe interweaves the lives of visitors and townsfolk alike. Hannah Turner, who had lived in Evergreen all her life, was very much a part of the every day goings-on in the town. In addition to working at the local inn, heading up the choir, and volunteering for the storytelling project at the new Evergreen Christmas Museum, she pretty much said "yes" whenever someone asked for her help. She was also preparing for the wedding of her brother Thomas to the town's beloved mayor, Michelle. All of this activity left little time for a personal life. A year ago, Hannah had wished on the snow globe for someone to love, and much to her surprise, her longtime friendship with Elliot Lee had blossomed into a romance. Elliot had purchased the Tinker Shop once owned by Hannah's parents, and the time he and Hannah spent together in the shop had brought them closer together. However, Hannah was so busy coming and going, the two of them had not found the right moment for a serious talk about the future. Elliot had plans and dreams that might not please Hannah, but he needed to find a way to broach the subject. This holiday season was growing more and more complicated, with a snowstorm that could postpone the wedding for Thomas and Michelle, and a threat that may close plans for the Christmas Museum. Will a much-needed Christmas miracle cone through just in time to set all things to right and make way for much happiness ahead? A journey back to Evergreen and a visit with the townsfolk is the perfect way to let the spirit of Christmas fill your own holiday.
Author Allie Boniface brings her intriguing "Drake Isle Series" to a reader-gratifying conclusion with Book Four. "Chasing You". Seventeen years ago, Author Allie Boniface brings her intriguing "Drake Isle Series" to a reader-gratifying conclusion with Book Four. "Chasing You". Seventeen years ago, Drake Isle rookie cop Andy McCabe had been called to the scene of a young woman's death on the campus of Misterion College. The unresolved case--did she jump, or was she pushed from the roof--would haunt residents of the island for years to come. The community was affected in many different ways. A black cloud of doubt and mystery seemed to hang in the air. While tourism on the picturesque island recovered fairly quickly, the college itself was closed for ten long years before it finally reopened and offered classes to students. Now almost forty, and the chief of police on the isle, Andy had never let go of the image of Piper Townsend's crumpled, lifeless body. Solving the case was never far from his mind--it affected every aspect of his life. When he meets Kate Kinney, a beautiful woman struggling through a nasty divorce, he begins to think more of Kate and somewhat less of his obsession with Piper Townsend's death. Kate is equally smitten with Andy--he's everything her ex-husband is not--and she is very ready to move forward to finding happiness in life. As their friendship and attraction grows, so do deeper feelings,--more permanent feelings--grow between them. However, each has their own troubling issues to overcome. Andy needs to find the truth of Piper's death. If it really was murder, then the killer must be brought to justice. Kate has to leave the past behind, learn to find joy in each day, and hope for a brighter future. Does that future include Andy? When all truths are revealed, will there be healing and new beginnings, and will Piper's restless spirit finally find peace and be at rest? I have greatly enjoyed this well-written, involving series, and I am looking forward to the upcoming spin-off series.

The author's smooth, fluid, descriptive writing makes for a very enjoyable read. At age thirty, Brooklyn native Danni St. Peters was a social networker and media influencer on the rise. A popular video channel star, she had a legion of followers and a bright future ahead. While she always felt the lack of her family's approval, she still chose to follow her own career path. Her relationship with her producer, Austin Hammond, had evolved from pleasant and professional to something more. Austin, who was always "on", and single-minded when it came to promoting Danni's occupational opportunities and his own best interests, never really seemed to listen to Danni when she spoke her mind. An invitation from her best friend Amy to spend the holidays with Amy and her family in Alaska comes at just the right time. Amy, who is married to an Alaska State Trooper, has a young son and is expecting her second child right at Christmastime. Amy's husband, Mateo, is good friends with his fellow state trooper, Declan Mathias. As a favor to Mathias, Declan picks up Danni at the airport. A former military man who lost a leg in combat, Declan is physically fit and mentally strong, but he is uncomfortable around pretty women--his fiance had rejected him after his injury. The atmosphere is uncomfortable and the conversation between them is stilted on the way to Amy's house. Overjoyed by seeing Amy again, Danni tries to overlook Declan's gruff manner. While Declan and Danni can't help but be thrown into each other's company, they gradually get to know one another, and the initial chill begins to thaw. Amy and her family, and Declan's mother, become as busy as Santa's elves when they start matchmaking for Danni and Declan. Friendship between the two of them begins to turn into something more, but Danni has her work and obligations in New York, and Declan has some personal issues to overcome. Can the spirit of the holidays--along with some Christmas magic--show them a future as bright as all the lights on the Christmas tree? Author Dahlia Rose adds depth to this holiday tale by infusing the story line with insights into the people, culture, and traditions of Alaska. I look forward to reading more of her work.

St. Louis County Detective Cate Reilly had accepted one undercover assignment during her ten years on the force, and that had been one too many. Now, thanks to her youthful looks, she was being pressured to go undercover as a student at an exclusive girl's school, Ivy Hill Academy. The daughter of a wealthy local businessman with political clout had gone missing from the school two months earlier. Her boyfriend had also disappeared, and her father was demanding answers from law enforcement. Reluctantly, and with worry from her two sisters, Cate accepted the assignment. The last person she expected to see was Zeke Sloan, now a DEA agent also working undercover at the school. Eight years ago, their close relationship had ended badly. Seeing each other again stirred up a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. However, no matter what their personal sentiments may be, they had to keep each other's cover and do or say nothing to jeopardize the investigation. While the elegant appearance of Ivy Hill Academy reflected the upscale social status of the student body, behind its polished image dwelt many evils--it was literally a house of lies. As the feelings between Cate and Zeke begin to grow, so does the danger around them. Can they combine their professional skills, their natural intuition, and their underlying abiding faith to keep each other safe and bring the evildoers to justice? Is there a chance for future happiness together? Irene Hannon is a master of inspirational romantic suspense, and readers will greatly enjoy both "Labyrinth of Lies" and Book One, "Point of Danger".
