Publisher: Crime Wave Press (March 8, 2013) Formats: Print & eBook 380 pages * I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review. Synopsis: Working Tokyo nightclubs is easy money for beautiful and troubled American Val Benson - until a client with a rather unusual hobby - painting the private parts of his female liaisons - reluctantly gives up a map to a stash of Japanese war loot and tempts his favourite girl into a dangerous treasure hunt. The Congressman's daughter is not the only one interested in the map: yakuza, bent cops, human traffickers, rogue CIA agents and her father are hot on her trail, snapping at her high heels.

I enjoyed reading some of your posts, and what a great idea for a blog! I was so close to my Grandmother, and I'm glad my Daughter got to know her before she passed away at the age of 94. She was sharp until the end, and like your Grandmother, she was great at math! I subscribed to your emails, and Liked you on Facebook and Twitter.
ReplyDeleteSHIT! Make sure she drinks a lot of water - that can contribute to difficulty breathing. Happened to my mom and landed her in the ER last month. Please keep the blog posted.
ReplyDeletethanks justfindit4u, i reciprocated the likes. thankfully all my grandparents survived well into my adulthood and i got to know them. both my grandmothers and one grandfather is still alive and they're all characters.
ReplyDeletethanks lori, hopefully she'll only be in there a day or two. her copd is acting up, she took a breathing treatment while in the hospital and they're making sure she doesn't get short winded again or develop pneumonia. good tip about the water, but man, she's stubborn. we keep a big glass of water on her table but she won't drink it even though we encourage her. we've tried kool-aid, crystal light,lemonade, and other beverages but she just never drank a lot, even before she got sick.
