Finding Mr. Write: A New Slant on Selecting the Perfect Mate

<p>Would you buy a house without seeing the inside? Would you buy a car without checking under the hood and taking it for a spin? Probably not. Then why is it that you will choose a mate without knowing what's going on inside him? Most of you would agree that love letters are a great way into your heart. But though your man fills them with sweet words and promises, do you know what he's really saying between the lines? Stop looking at the words and check out how he writes. Hand-writing doesn't lie. Handwriting is brain writing; it is frozen body language. Finding Mr. Write gives you all the tools you need to uncover everything you should know about your man, no matter how well he thinks he's hidden it. <br><br>Does he print more often than not? If so, he is very direct and to the point. How he loops his letters, how much pressure he puts on the page, his strokes and his slants, how he dots his i's and crosses his t's, where he writes on the page--all of these will tell you more about what's going on inside him than his financial statement can. Finding Mr. Write is the compass that will aid you in your search for Mr. Right.</p>

Words, Language & Grammar

Rarely do we get an inside look at the effects of immigration on a child. We follow this little girl's journey within the covers of Bat Mitzvah Girl, we see through her eyes as she is reunited with her strong-willed mother and charming father, and becomes the beloved child of four loving Jewish childless aunties in London’s East End. This is the true story of one immigrant child growing up in two very different cultures. She is loved and disrespected; protected and vulnerable; happy and sad - and is posed with the problem of figuring out who she is in all this divergence. Migration calls for lots of adjustments and, once they are made, a whole new set appears as Beverley is once again living in Jamaica with her dominant grandmother and a host of colorful relatives. Customs are challenging; school is terrorizing. She doesn't know what to believe, but she is surrounded by loving (if contradictory!) viewpoints in both England and Jamaica. Beverley’s coming of age story deals with delicate issues of race, separation and longing and an abundance of family love. Walk with Beverley through this jumble of relationships and experiences. Know her confusion, feel her love of justice, see her shrink and grow within the loving embrace of different folks from different cultures, and see how they all work things out. These patchworks of experiences mould her to be the woman she is today. ***** Praise for Bat Mitzvah Girl “Bev East’s charismatic personality and expansive humanity illuminate this tie-dyed sunburst reminiscence of a wide-eyed childhood spent in Jamaica and the UK. As much personal recollection as a travelogue – Bat Mitzvah Girl brings together two of the world’s most tragic Diasporas in one Love.” Colin Channer - Author of Waiting in Vain and the Girl with the Golden Shoes

Reaper of Souls - is a gripping family saga of love and loss. With fictional characters based on a tragic event in Jamaica - A train crash that stole so many lives on 1st September 1957. The Kendal train crash is Jamaica's Holocaust, and put the island firmly on the world map, setting macabre records and traumatizing an entire nation. The attempt to write this story was not to fill the gaps but to demonstrate through all the heart break that the characters in this book can triumph over tragedy - just as a nation did 50 plus years ago. You won't be able to put this book down - as one reader called "un put downable". There are many unexpected twists and turns in this novel - Nothing turns out the way you would expect it. - That is how life is. If you mention the words "Kendal Crash" to any Jamaican person over fifty they will know this story of woe and sadness. The most you will hear about Kendal is the many ghost stories that are familiar to all. Many of those who rode the train that night have since died or survive in obscurity: Where is Kendal exactly? It lies smack in the center of Jamaica, a tiny town nestled just outside Mandeville where many "returnees" now reside. Written with love and humor this sad story will not only make you cry but you will laugh and sing with the vibrant characters that come alive in this story. They will stay with you long after you close the pages of Reaper of Souls
