Review of THE OWL OF THE SIPAN LORD

Having read and loved THE ANGLER AND THE OWL by Viv Drewa, I was drawn to read THE OWL OF THE SIPAN LORD,  an adventure story steeped in mystery and danger.  The heroine, Clare Montgomery, is cut from the Indiana Jones/Allan Quatermain cloth and takes us to Peru on an archeological dig to find answers to paranormal questions and the death of her husband.  The tightly woven tale with multi-faceted, likable characters is fast paced and a perfect balance of demons and sorcery and authentic ancient Peruvian culture and love.  This one made me get up in the middle of the night to cover my red-eyed clock.  Another outstanding adventure from Viv Drewa.

MIRANDA BAY by Susan Tarr

Book Description:
Miranda, a quirky, bloody-minded and loveable young woman, splurges her inheritance on a pile of sagging architecture in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, simply because it bears her name. The now not-so-proud owner of the old Miranda Bay Sanatorium must somehow turn it into a profitable beach resort. An hilarious, heart-stopping, tragi-comic romp through her buying experience. She knows little about running a business and depends heavily on loyal cousin Pansy’s expertise. 
In her frantic drive for success, Miranda succumbs to her booze stash, hires a motley collection of workers including the local drunk to get cracking on the property. 
Hamilton, her geriatric and lascivious financial advisor, seizes the opportunity to undermine her belief in herself. 

But with the elegant and calming Pansy’s help, she pulls herself together and makes some serious decisions - the place must be cleaned up quickly if paying guests are expected. 
So the local drunk, Neville, has to do some heavy work, but, due to his own booze stash, he is accident-prone and threatens everything when his fire gets out of control. 
The establishment is finally ready. And the guests trickle in – definitely not the A-list types Miranda has envisaged. Her clientele - a collection of undertakers, odd artists, sex fiends, happy yet boring little families of mediocrity, dull honeymooners - are not the sophisticates she’d hoped for, and she quickly grows to despise them. 

So having met her guests and now at the brink of despair, Miranda experiences deepening depression and manic behaviour. She contrives and delivers her wackiest money-making ideas yet in her desperation to avert certain catastrophe.

Brace yourself for an hilarious, tragi-comic romp, full of intrigue and even terror, as Miranda battles through her buying experience. There's both an emotional and tender unfolding of events as we join a young woman’s roller coaster ride in the face of financial ruin. A novel to laugh and cry over, witty and wicked...

LORD OF BLAKELEY

Excerpt:

Chapter One   
Stolen in the Night, A Prologue
Location:  Blakeley Province, Planet of Nord, Year 2075


“I’m going in to get her,” he said calmly and quietly.
“No, Lord Andrew, it’s too dangerous.  They’ll kill you, and not right away.  If that bastard Samuel Bishop and his men find you before you find her and get back here, you know what they will do to you.  You need to re-think this course of action.  At least let’s wait until morning.  Then Carmine will take a team and go in and get her.  You need to stay here.  We need you.  You shouldn’t go.  And you definitely shouldn’t go alone,” Jared warned.

“No.  I’m going in after her.  Now.  Her safety always comes first with me.  You know that.  I’ll be able to find her, Jared. I know I will.  And rescuing MY woman is MY job.  Unlock the transport dock and have a security team stand ready.  What were the last signals?”

“Three in, four out.”

“Damn it!” he said holding his head.  “How did they manage to get in here with the aperture closed?   And nobody saw or heard anything?”

“Well, Ruth said Lady Aleese was called out to help a baby burning up with fever.  You were asleep.  She didn’t want to wake you.”  He shook his head in dismay.  Yes, Aleese would go running out to help. And no, she wouldn’t want to wake him.

“Once this link is opened, who knows what evil may come rushing through that eye.  Security team in place, now.  I’ll be leaving as soon as possible.”

Jared left to ready the transport dock and alert a security team.  He was pushing buttons and flipping switches.

“Carmine, we need a security team to the transport room right now.  He’s going in after her.  I couldn’t talk him out of it.”

“We’re on our way, Jared.  We knew he’d go.”

Within minutes, Andrew, Lord of Blakely strode calmly and confidently into the transport room, followed by a security team taking aim at the aperture. Andrew stood inside the transport dock.

“I’ll be back within the hour with Aleese.  Stun anyone or anything else comes through this aperture, full stun, and lock them up until I return.  I will deal with them personally.  Tell no one I have gone,” said Andrew.

“Weapons on maximum stun,” Carmine ordered his team.

“I understand,” said Jared.  “When the Lord of Blakeley goes tearing off alone in the middle of the night on a doomed, dangerous, foolhardy mission to rescue his Lady who has been stolen in the night, it promotes fear and panic among their loyal subjects who love both dearly.  This is a sad day for Blakeley, Lord Andrew.  We could lose the both of you tonight.”

“Enough.  Bishop is an animal.  She’s terrified of him. I have to go right now.”

“It’s a trap.  You know it’s a trap.  Bishop is using her as bait.  They came sneaking in here and stole her away in the middle of the night just to piss you off!”

“Oh, it worked.  And I’m going in.  But it’s not me he wants, Jared.  He wants her.  And now… he’s got her. But not for long.”

“Okay,” sighed Jared. “Good luck.  Be careful.  Go get her and bring her home.  Godspeed.”

“Thank you.  Open.”

Hold on, My Sweet Aleese.  I’m coming to get you.

Jared opened the aperture and Andrew ran into it.  The very next moment a shadowy form shrouded in a grey monk’s robe came rushing out.

“Fire!” ordered Carmine.  All weapons fired at the shadowy figure as it fell silently to the ground, gyrating from the multitude of stungun blasts.
