Book Description

Since 1227, finding the Tomb of Genghis Khan has been the obsession of tyrants, adventurers and treasure hunters.

It is a Genghis Khan fact that, looking at a map today, he had conquered a geographic area which would include 30 countries and 3+ billion people.

The legend says that, in order to keep his tomb’s location secret, Genghis Khan slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of his captives after they had been forced to dig his burial site. He had amassed untold wealth with enormous quantities of jewels, gold and silver from his conquests that are believed to be buried with him.

So why hasn’t his crypt been found in almost eight hundred years?

In The Guardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb, the Great Conqueror extracts a sacred oath from a special advisor. It binds both this trusted counselor and his family forever to protect the tomb and the most immense treasure ever known.

Amanda knox ;Memoir

I ‘ve followed the live television broadcast of the Amanda Knox trail and, wonder about the whole story. There is always two sides to a story . For four years, Amanda Knox felt silenced. Italian prosecutors, who had accused her (and two accomplices) of murdering her roommate, called her the devil. The Italian press called her “angel faced killer.” Knox’s only rebuttals came during those brief moments of addressing the court. Even after Knox was acquitted in 2011 and allowed to return home to Seattle—after nearly four years in prison—she stayed voluntarily silent. Now, in Waiting to Be Heard, she is finally telling her side of the story.

Book Description:

A young woman’s soul-baring account of a nightmare turned real, of unimaginable horror and the miscarriage of justice that ensued, and, ultimately, of fortitude in the face of overwhelming adversity, Waiting to Be Heard is a memoir unlike any you have ever read. In November 2007, Amanda Knox was twenty years old and had been studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, for only a few weeks when her friend and roommate, a young English student named Meredith Kercher, was brutally murdered. The investigation made headlines around the world, and Amanda’s arrest placed her at the center of a media firestorm. Young, naïve, grieving at the horrifying death of her friend, and with little more than basic knowledge of the Italian language, she was subjected to harsh interrogations during which she struggled to understand the police and to make her own words understood. The subsequent trial exposed Amanda to international scrutiny and speculation, and she became a tabloid staple. In 2009, after an extremely controversial trial, she was wrongly convicted of murder. But in October 2011, after Amanda had spent four years in an Italian prison, and following a lengthy appeals process, the conviction was overturned. Amanda immediately flew home to the United States.

Poem Pick For The Week ( 93 ) !

Know one is perfect, but let us all join together to create a cleaner  world.  The earth is important . What can we do to keep our earth clean ?  Here is a poem written by a eight  year old student for earth day.

Don’t Litter
By Veronica ~ 8 years old

We all litter every day in different ways.
If we keep littering our earth will be a big trash bag.
Let’s put out a call.
Most people don’t care.
My class would not dare !
Once my class put up a sign.
It said, “Please don’t litter.  The Earth is mine.”.
Our landfills are overflowing.
Every day they are growing.
We see it making all kinds of motions.
We can try to stop this now, but how  ?

Put your trash in the can !

Poetry Pick For The Week !

I CHOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY !

I could have saved a life that day,

But I chose to look the other way.

It wasn’t

that I didn’t care,

I had the time, and I was there.

But I didn’t want to seem a fool,

The chances didn’t

seem that bad,

To call 911, and say child abduction.

So I shook my head and walked on by,

And with that act, I let the boy die.

I could have saved a life that day,

But I chose to look the other way.

Now every time I see his mother,

I’ll know I should have saved his life.

That guilt is some

thing I must bear,

But it isn’t something you need to share,

If you see a risk that others take,

That puts their health or life at stake.

The question asked, or thing you say,

Could help them live another day.

If you see a risk

and walk away,

Then I hope you never have to say,

I could have saved a life that day,

But I chose to look the other way.

Reflected in You: A Crossfire Novel

  EROTIC ROMANCE  NOVEL THAT SHOULD NOT BE MISSED !

Book Description:

Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction… my every desire… mine.My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful… except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.

We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession.
