    The novella makes a strong return
    This is a wonderful linked series of novellas. I liked some of the stories more than the others, but they were all interesting, difference and yet made a cohesive whole.
    The different narrators for each story were a really nice addition.

    Publisher's Summary:
    When Skip Granger, the assistant coach for the Washington Redskins, first sees Jesse Smoke, she is on the beach in Belize. And she has just thrown a regulation football a mile.
    Granger knows that Smoke's talent is unprecedented for a woman and nearly unparalleled among men. As Granger observes her throughout a season as quarterback for the Washington Divas of the Independent Women's Football League, he decides to sign her to the Redskins, even as he faces losing his job and credibility.
    As the first woman on a major NFL team, Jesse Smoke's astounding success places her in the tradition of athletes like Jackie Robinson and Joe Louis. Yet Smoke is quickly faced with her own battles, including the clamor of the press, the violence of her teammates and the institutional resistance that seeks to keep football in the hands of men.
    While a female quarterback in the NFL is a fantasy at the moment, Robert Bausch's genius as a writer makes it a highly engaging reality on the page.
    Fans of football - and listeners who were just waiting for a player worth getting excited about - will relish Jesse Smoke's journey to the big leagues.

    A page turner
    Bausch has created a wonderful character in Jesse Smoke. Within the first 50 pages, I found myself rooting her on - and yet unsure of where the story would take me. Jesse's story was compelling and kept me engaged at every turn. I also appreciate the unique voice used to tell the story. In summary, this is a fine piece of writing. And Bausch knows his football, I'll say that too.
    Grace, charm and wonderful characters!
    A wonderful world in which the Redskins win and people are pure of heart. I loved it. Jesse is endearing and loving with every breath. I was cheering for her and afraid for her all at the same time.
    I recommend this book for people who don't know a thing about football. The author makes an overwhelming sport accessible to the most girly of girls (like me!)
    A good story about equality and what people should expect from the world, and what they should strive for.
    Definitely recommended!!!!!
    a good read
    a great story--a wonderful football book for anyone who is a fan
    Five Stars
    Purchased the book because of good reviews. Agree.
    Slow start, powerful ending
    I first saw this novel while looking through a bookstore. I did what I normally do when I find a book that intrigues me: I take a picture and forget about it. Months later, I finally got around to checking this one out and I wasnât disappointed. The Legend of Jesse Smoke is a novel set in the near future. Skip Granger, the offensive coach for the Washington Redskins, has found a new quarterback to recruit...who is a girl. Though joking at first, he comes to realize quickly that Jesse has what it takes to make it in the NFL: footwork, intuition, the ability to lead a team. But not everyone is quick to accept her. Her new teammates are skeptical, the press shares scandalous stories questioning her gender and who sheâs dating, and the NFL commissioner is not pleased to have someone âtainting the purity of the game.â The trouble boils all season and culminates in a trial that may prevent Jesse from continuing her career. It was an interesting read but one that did take awhile to get into. The beginning is mired down with football procedures, plays, and terms that the author feels compelled to explain.

    A quick and deeply satisfying read, no matter who you are
    I grew up with a fanatical fly fisherman for a father, who turned me on to to Looking Through Water. Reading it brought right back to all those long days we spent together on those sunny flats in the Keys and it was truly a treasure to be whisked back to that world I remember so fondly. I could almost taste the salt air and feel the sunburn on the back of my neck as I I became enthralled with the characters and the familiar world they inhabit. The way they talk, the mantras they live by, the passion with which they pursue their elusive catch, it all rang so very true to the memories I have of that place. At first glance, one might assume that it's a simply a manly tale, told through generations of men; but as a daughter of this almost secret and certainly unruly sporting tradition, there is so much to appreciate in the richness of the characters and their relationships with each other. Having been a tangential part of the world the Rich's characters inhabit, I not only found tremendous comfort in the authenticity of their interactions but also felt I could actually learn quite a bit about the tradition and history that has enthralled my father for as long as I can remember. And aside from my own personal connection to the esoteric world that provides the setting for this story, I could not help but find deep connection to the underlying motifs of complex personal and family histories and the residues of regret and self doubt that often punctuate our human condition. I can't imagine a single soul out there that can't relate to these things.

    This book won't let me go, almost 20 years later
    Charles McNair's Land O'Goshen is a book that has stayed with me since its 1994 publication. McNair puts us into a post-apocalyptic nightmare of society run amok, being pulled in chains to the RIGHT way of thinking, even the ONLY way of thinking and living. Fundamentalist Christian soldiers are ever on the lookout for those who aren't right enough, who flaunt the rules of this new world. The writing is lush, and I found myself deeply attracted by certain twists of a story so coiled in on itself that escape is impossible. Today, as a liberal working hard to stay centrist, the gritty truth in Land O'Goshen makes me want to jump to the left, to persuade others to do so...yikes, I want to scream that what McNair proposes in fiction is beginning to come true. I pride myself on sensibility and on living as free of fear as possible, but Land O'Goshen makes me want to tear up all possible means of identity and find a cave on an island where I can't be assassinated for my liberal beliefs. So I admit to one fear, that the book is nonfiction. Or, at the least, an eerily accurate prophesy of what is to come. If so, I would say to my friends, we must get the hell out of Dodge while we still can.
    Funny, I didn't mention funny. McNair is such a skillful writer that he can speak of the unspeakable in a way that will have the reader laughing without understanding why. A sort of gallows humor but more so. Imagine a prisoner with a rope around his neck while strapped to an elevated electric chair with a loaded syringe inserted in his forearm. Before kicking the chair out from under the man, flipping the switch for the lethal current, and pushing the plunger on the hypodermic, the executioner says, "Maybe we should have added a guillotine and a firing squad just to be sure." In such a sick depiction, our only outlet is to laugh...my funny bone was struck over and over by this delicious book.
    Now I have Pickett's Charge to look forward to (Livingston Press, September 2013), and another McNair novel eventually, The Epicurean.
    Fine dystopic novel with a comic twist
    McNair has a Southernerâs penchant for imbedded metaphor and colorful language. Of a barroom fight, he writes, âHis hands gripped that pool cue so hard . . . I thought sawdust might come out between his fingers.â And he has a Southernerâs penchant for the grotesque since surely one main character in this wondrous novel is âThe Wild Thang,â an outlandish, smelly full-body disguise that the young fourteen-year-old hero, Buddy, snitches from a circus. In the circus tent, the Wild Thang struck fear into the onlookers. With Buddyâs additional dead animal skins and feathers garnered from the wild woods, the disguise becomes nearly supernatural, instilling complete surrender and pandemonium.

    Publisher's Summary:
    For Jay Owens, being a celebrity was exactly what he wanted. Access to the clubs with the best parties. Devoted fans who would give anything for a picture with him. First-class travel around the world.
    But as the luster of his fame began to fade, he became desperate to find a way to retain his stardom. Jay was once again prime tabloid fodder when he married actress Heather Garrison, catapulting him back to the top of the charts.
    Wedded bliss wasn't Jay's plan, though. Publicity was. When his estranged wife delivers some unexpected news, Jay and Heather's fragile charade threatens to crumble, putting his career at risk yet again.
    Members Reviews:
    Great quick listen
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    Yes. I wanted so much more
    Which character as performed by Andrew Russell was your favorite?
    Andrew is a great narrator. He nailed all the characters, from the over-enthusiastic radio announcer, to the main character and his wife. All the characters were distinct and believable
    Who was the most memorable character of Limelight and why?
    They all was
    Any additional comments?
    I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review
    Limelight of Life
    Ugh! I wanted so much more. This was a very good short story. I sure hope he writes a continuation of this. While the couple are so selfish and busy with life, it seems they are starting to wake up to the real world.
    The narration was awesome. I loved how he did the DJ's voice.
    Great quick listen
    Where does Limelight rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
    There is no ranking for books to me aside from good or bad and this would be in the good column.
    What was one of the most memorable moments of Limelight?
    There wasn't enough of the story to have anything completely memorable aside from the entire story.
    Have you listened to any of Andrew Russells other performances before? How does this one compare?
    This would be my first Andrew Russell narration.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    It was one I listened to all in one setting and I wanted to listen to it all in one setting.
    Any additional comments?
    This was a good quick listen. I just wish that there was more. This seemed more like a teaser than anything else but it was still really good start to a story or maybe a prequel to a series.
    Interesting!
    This short story gives you a glimpse into the life of a Star. The characters are gritty and the story is brief but detailed. Just the right length to kill 1/2 hour.
    Great characterisation
    What made the experience of listening to Limelight the most enjoyable?
    Despite being a very short story, Limelight provided an interesting character study of an unlikable, egotistical actor. Having such an intriguing main character makes for fascinating listening.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    The main character, because he was unlikable, but very well fleshed out - far more than I would have expected from such a short story
    What does Andrew Russell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    Andrew is a great narrator. He nailed all the characters, from the over-enthusiastic radio announcer, to the main character and his wife. All the characters were distinct and believable.
    Any additional comments?
    A well written story that is performed extremely well by the narrator.

    Publisher's Summary:
    A riveting novel about two women - one Serbian, one Bosnian - whose deep friendship spans decades and continents, war and peace, love and estrangement, in the vein of Elena Ferrante and Julia Alvarez.
    From the moment Marija walks into Lara's classroom, freshly moved to Serbia from Sarajevo, Lara is enchanted by her vibrant beauty, confidence, and wild energy - and knows that the two are destined to be lifelong friends. Closer than sisters, the girls share everything, from stolen fruit and Hollywood movies as girls to philosophies and even lovers as young women. But when the Bosnian War pits their homelands against each other in a bloodbath, Lara and Marija are forced to separate for the first time: Romantic Lara heads to America with her Hollywood-handsome new husband, and fierce Marija returns to her native Sarajevo to combat the war through journalism behind Bosnian lines.
    In America, Lara seeks fulfillment through work and family, but when news from Marija ceases, the uncertainty torments Lara, driving her on a quest to find her friend. As Lara travels through war-torn Serbia and Bosnia, following clues that may yet lead to the flesh-and-blood Marija, she must also wrestle with truths about her own identity.
    Told in lush, vivid prose, Country of Red Azaleas is a poignant testament to both the power of friendship and our ability to find meaning and beauty in the face of devastation.
    Critic Reviews:
    "This exquisite novel celebrates the bonds of female friendship and the spirit of women's resilience and self-invention. A riveting and beautifully written novel, Country of Red Azaleas sheds light on our transcendent human connections in the face of war, exile, and displacement." (Jasmin Darznik, New York Times best-selling author of The Good Daughter)
    "Country of Red Azaleas testifies to the resilience of women's friendships in the aftermath of one of the late 20th-century's most horrific conflicts. Well-developed, complex characters, an opulent style, ironic humor, an exotic background brought to life on the page, all contribute to a moving, spellbinding tale of love and survival." (Linda Rodriguez, author of Every Hidden Fear and finalist for the International Latino Book Award)
    "A moving portrait of humanity's best overcoming humanity's worst." (Kirkus Reviews)
    Members Reviews:
    This is a beautifully written story of friendship
    This is a beautifully written story of friendship, love and survival. Despite incredibly difficult events, hope never dies - it is constantly rekindled at every twist and turn throughout the plot. The reader is left with a renewed faith in what we are capable of achieving just with our inner resources: we can change, build or rebuild almost everything in our lives. It is a wonderful read and I highly recommend it.
    love, loss
    Saw the reviews and decided to see for myself. To me the author braided together a tale of youthful ambition, war, love, loss, regret, and human need to find closure. The writing seemed fluid and unforced with the ability to maintain a thread that kept me wondering the next turn in these two woman's lives.
    Five Stars
    The book was very moving and kept my interest from start to finish.
    Moving war story told through the eyes of survivors
    The horrifying tales of the Bosnia war and genocide in the 1990s, and the resulting war crimes trials of Serbian officials, were well covered in the media of the time.

    Cozy morality tale with princess to pauper theme
    The bad husband and the good wife surface again in a morality tale that jumpstarts with the husbands death and betrayal. The clueless wife is a morning news show hostess who can't or doesn't read what she signs. Big no-no! After she is fired and accused of financial crimes, Meredith Vincent needs to grow up fast (and learn to read). She goes back to her natural redheadedness, takes a public bus to Texas, and helps clean and reopen a bed and breakfast for the graceless. ...
    Great characters
    So far my favorite Christmas read this year. A large cast of characters who each interestingly added to the story in their own endearing way. A bit predictable and unbelievable at times but I still loved the premise. After all it is Christmas so when better to believe?

    Publisher's Summary:
    Saying that Benjamin Sean Quinn had "anger issues" was an understatement. For those who knew him for the shortest amount of time, his life was in order: He was physically fit, had a great job which provided him a house in the suburbs and the material things he desired, a loving, monogamous relationship, two happy, healthy daughters and an established circle of friends. In all accounts, his life seemed perfect. But to those who knew him the longest, they knew he was an idle grenade, waiting for someone to pull the pin.
    For decades, Ben did his best to conquer his demons; to suppress the anger he accumulated towards his parents, Carmella and Sean, throughout their tumultuous marriage. Ben was their only child; forced to witness and experience things that most adults couldn't even try to handle. He could not escape them or the anger, and no matter how hard he tried, as he matured, it became a part of him. Ben strived to end the toxic cycle and avoid adopting their pattern as part of his own life. By the time he reached his early thirties, he finally seemed to have it all under control. Then Ben's father told him a "secret".
    One left in Montana when he and Carmella were stationed there forty years earlier. It would exhume the painful memories and suppressed anger that Ben had been avoiding for years and force him to relive his past in order to face his future. Today Benjamin Sean Quinn boards a plane to Billings, Montana. It was time to face the secret head on and let go of the anger that silently ruled his life. It would be the boldest move he ever made, ultimately changing his life and the lives of those around him.
    Leaving Montana is the recipient of both the 2015 Eric Hoffer Award for a Small Press Published work and also the 2015 National Indie Excellence Book Award for Literary Fiction!

    Great storytelling to an interesting story!
    Mr. Whaley captures a bit childhood perceptions and how they effect us in this great life story. You become a part of this family's ups and downs wanting to see what becomes of each character! Nicely done! Easy to read and totally captures your attention throughout! My kind of book! Can't wait for the next story from this emerging author!
    Depressing story
    This book was really just about how a man who can't control his anger repeatedly abuses his wife and son. If I wanted to read such a depressing story I'd pick up the newspaper, not some fictional story. I shouldn't have wasted my time listening to this book.
    Wonderful story and narration!
    This book is a captivating jewel. Written in the first person, the narrator recounts an appalling marriage and its consequences for their only son. Told with humor, insight, warmth and optimism, it's a delightful listen.
    You'll sniffle, giggle and become thoroughly absorbed.
    I loved it.
