<div id="Review">When an accountant and her fiancé are both found murdered, Eve sees stars. She knows the murders are connected &#8211; even though they occurred hours apart and in different areas of town &#8211; and she&#8217;s positive that it has something to do with the job.</p>
<p>But the numbers keep dancing in her head&#8230; How does Roarke like numbers?</p>
<p>And the babies. Mavis is due any moment and Eve needs to throw her best friend a shower whose guests will include Mavis&#8217;s entire birthing class. Hopefully no one will pop before its over.
</p></div>
<h2>Hott Review</h2>
<p>Fun. Exciting. </p>
<p>Though I loved the mystery it took the backseat in this novel to the story. This book revolved around friendship. It was very emotional &#8211; well, for an Eve book &#8211; and quite relaxing.</p>

<h2>Hott Review</h2>
<p>In my opinion this was a cute and simple book &#8211; but in the opinion of my non-reading 11-year-old, this book was AWESOME! Even my teen enjoyed it.</p>
<p>We both agreed that it was fun and a definite Christian read that will enhance even the most reluctant reader&#8217;s bookshelf.</p>
<p>This was the third book in the series and I picked it up and enjoyed it without confusion &#8211; though I will be buying more.</p>
<p>This book received an A+ from me because it&#8217;s the first book my son has finished with more than 100 pages&#8230; Except for the Wimpy Kid series.</p>

<p>After reading your book, it&#8217;s obvious that Egypt intrigues you. What fascinates you most?</p>
<div id="Review">My love of all things Egyptian began at age 8 when my mother gave me the Time Life series book Ancient Egypt as my first encyclopaedia. The Egyptian culture is truly phenomenal for many reasons. I think the level of sophistication is breathtaking; the development of their ideology, mythology, architectural and engineering achievements, and written language and system of record keeping surpasses anything that’s been discovered. The most fascinating thing about Egypt for me is the ultimate question: how did they build the pyramids? Ancient Egyptians did not have complex machinery nor the expertise of modern architects with computer programs to help in the design, plus Egypt has a particularly harsh climate. So how did they raise those enormous blocks of stone? The Egyptians didn’t even have the pulley because that was only discovered in Roman times. The building of the pyramids is one of ancient history’s best kept secrets!</div>
<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-3470" title="Fiona Ingram 1.jpg" src="http://www.hottbooks.com/books/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Fiona-Ingram-1.jpg.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="211" />2 &#8211; I love that you pulled the mysteries of Egypt together with middle-graders. What prompted you to do that?</p>
<div id="Review">I went to Egypt with my two young nephews (aged 10 and 12) and my mom, and because the boys were so enthusiastic about the country, the history, the temples, and the pyramids, I decided to write a short adventure story with them as the heroes. Well, the story just grew and grew, and I ended up with a book for adventurous readers about the same ages my nephews were at the time.</div>
<p>3 &#8211; Can we anticipate more books from you?</p>
<div id="Review">Definitely! I have completed Book Two in the series Chronicles of the Stone. It’s called The Search for the Stone of Excalibur, and takes the boys to Britain, exploring the history of King Arthur and the Dark Ages in their quest for the Second Stone of Power. I am about to begin Book Three, which is The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper. This book is set in Mexico and takes our young heroes on another exciting adventure, exploring the jungles of Mexico, ancient Mayan ruins and a brush with Aztec sacrificial practices. Don’t worry, my heroes are very good at escaping danger! I’m sure they’ll outwit the baddies again.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received this in a forward &#038; thought I&#8217;d share<br />
<h2>An Actual Craig&#8217;s List Ad</h2>
<div id="AIO">To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown  Savannah  night before last.<br />
Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 a.m.  E.S.T.</p>
<p>I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend&#8217;s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.</p>
<p>First, I&#8217;d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn&#8217;t expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason..my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan.. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head &#8230; isn&#8217;t it?!</p>
<p>I know it probably wasn&#8217;t fun walking back to wherever you&#8217;d come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I&#8217;m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hottbooks.com/books/2012/02/19/the-point-of-craigs-list/black_eye_man/" rel="attachment wp-att-125"><img src="http://www.hottbooks.com/books/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/black_eye_man-185x300.gif" alt="" title="black_eye_man" width="185" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-125" /></a><br />
After I called your mother or &#8220;Momma&#8221; as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you&#8217;d done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, &#8212; on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!</p>
<p>I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go&#8217;s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]</p>
<p>I then threw your wallet into the big pink &#8220;pimp mobile&#8221; that was parked at the curb &#8230;. after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver&#8217;s side of the car.</p>
<p>Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what &#8216;s going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA&#8217;s office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.</p>
<p>The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).</p>
<p>In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you &#8230; but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you&#8217;ve chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!</p>
<p>Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi,<br />
Alex

<div id="Review">Have you ever heard that the &#8220;Squeaky wheel gets the grease&#8221;?</p>
<p>Well, if Glenn Beck is the wheel then Michael Charney is the grease.</p>
<p>With an abject desire to determine if Glenn Beck is really what he says he is, Michael Charney embarks upon a twitter campaign to see if anyone can really be that extreme.</p>
<p>Stop in and see what surfaces&#8230;</p></div>
<h2>Hott Review</h2>
<p>I still remember being told not to &#8216;poke a sleeping bear&#8217; just as I was about to do something that would cause a tremendous reaction &#8211; and that&#8217;s exactly what I was repeating in my head as I read this book.</p>
<p>Though well written and interesting this book is a great resource. It&#8217;s an awesome &#8216;how to make twitter work for you&#8217; book. Honestly, this book is also a great book to give to this up and coming generation to show them the power your words can have in social media.</p>
<p>Thank you for this lesson!</p>

<p>Adam and Justin are on their way to tour the land where anything can happen &#8211; Egypt.</p>
<p>They arrive in Johannesburg to meet their Gran and aunt and find the most wonderful thing. Well, it&#8217;s horrible, really. The great archeologist, James Kinnaird, has gone missing from his latest exploration. The search for The Scarab King, and he&#8217;s disappeared from none other than the land where anything can happen.</p>
<p>What adventures will this family discover as they make their trek across this fascinating land?</p>

<h2>Hott Review</h2>
<p>A perfect adventure for a middle-grade reader. I&#8217;d suggest this book for someone with a reading level just above the &#8216;Boxcar Children&#8217; Series but ready for a longer and more substantial adventure.</p>
<p>This was a perfect readying level for my second grader but still adventurous enough for my eighth grade.</p>

<p>After I read her book, we got together for a chat&#8230; </p>
<p>Regina, I absolutely adored your characters in The Rogue&#8217;s Reform! I was enthralled with the dissention between Adele and her mother. What about Adele did you admire most?</p>
<div id="Review">Thank you for the kind words!  I admire Adele’s ability to move forward in the face of difficult circumstances.  She was raised to expect a life of wealth and privilege, but when things turned out differently, she didn’t mope, she didn’t wring her hands. She picked herself (and her mother) up and went on, head high, making the best of things.  I can only hope I’ll be that pragmatic when faced with adversity!</div>
<p>What was the most difficult part of writing this particular book for you?</p>
<div id="Review">Waiting.  The three Everard men and their new cousin Samantha have been in my head for over 5 years.  It never seemed the right time, the right venue for their stories to be told.  I’m so thankful my editor at Love Inspired Historical encouraged me to give them a chance!</div>
<p>Can we expect to see more of the Everards? I mean, really, their personalities are so dynamic and fun I want to meet them!</p>
<div id="Review">Indeed you can!  Captain Richard Everard, the second of the gentlemen, gets his own book in July 2012 (The Captain’s Courtship), and I am currently wrestling with the swashbuckling poet Vaughn Everard to finish the manuscript for his book (The Rake’s Redemption), which is scheduled to hit stores November 2012.</div>
<h2>Wow, I can&#8217;t wait for more! Thanks, Regina!</h2>
<p>Well, Gosh, it sort of looks like I&#8217;m talking to myself, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
