If you had to disappear...

If you had to disappear would you know how? Could you lead someone on a wild goose chase, especially considering the technological age you live in?

One of my favorite things about reading comes in the form of characters professions. Authors often research and review professions in great detail to make sure that their characters portray and do things that someone in their field would do. What a great way to learn about various jobs and careers. Recently I finished Mindy Starns Clark's new novel: Shadows of Lancaster County.

Ever heard of "Skip Tracing?" Me neither, until I read this book. In fact, I was so drawn to the topic that I spent time goggling for even more details. What I learned from this read and from my own research is that if I ever had to actually disappear I would not know where to start. However, that is a thing of the past. I now am armed with at least a great start. Still, let's hope disappearing is not something in my future.

Mindy did it again! You will fall in love with the characters, the action, and the quest held between the covers of this book. Don't miss it this summer. In addition, Mindy is doing something worthy and fun this summer. You could win a chance to be in one of her Novels. Click here for details.

I actually used a "skip tracer" many years ago when I sold a car and they didn't finish paying me. Most fun I've ever had! Quite an adventure!

You are funny. If you disappear for a few days... we'll know what you did!

I am not currently reviewing a book/author or even reading Christian fiction at the moment. It is an interesting break from the normal and I am enjoying selecting the titles right now. Since I rarely read in the secular market it is often difficult for me to find authors that are enjoyable or to my tastes. In May or perhaps early of this year I was lent a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyers . Wait! Hold on! If you are completely rolling your eyes at this point and believe that I have joined the teen band wagon let me get just a few words in edgewise here. Thank you. As I was saying, I was lent a copy of Twilight a while back. I had no real desire to read it because, as you, I had no desire to join the throng of teens and even pre-teens obsessing over this book/saga. The copy I had received was at the top of my "to read later" pile, so I picked it up and turned to page one. Please understand that I am not a fan of Vampires or even that sort of thriller market. I enjoy ...

Where do you see us in say 15-20 years? Common point that most people with a five year plan at least consider. Dare say, though, that you probably postulate that many of the lifestyles you have now will be the same. Think so? In past posts I talked about the unknown and how if we are truly honest with ourselves we know that there is a great deal we don't "know." Thinking about that unknown is not something we often don't like to do. Why? Because it can be scary. We like control - we like certainty (to a point) and we like answers. Yes, that build-up means that I have another book for you to read that will challenge you to think differently about what our world could be like in the future. Will you be in the same SES class? Will you have power? Will you be tattooed to slavery? Or invisible to those that have it all? Two posts back I mentioned that Sigmund released book #2! I truly tried hard to take my time with it. However, he is just one of those authors that get...
