Happy World Book Day, everyone. Maybe instead of pushing buttons on a remote control, just for today, open a book instead.

I am excited to announce my Author Event on March 5th, 3pm, at the Arvida Book Store in Tustin. I hope to see you there.

The Second List is Max Bridges’ first published work and he has burst onto the literary stage with an amazing and breathtaking book. In my opinion, it is up there with the best; Daniel Silva, Lee Child, Vince Flynn, and Stieg Larsson. From the first page, the reader is whisked from California to Switzerland and then to Long Island and the scene of a double murder. Bridges then takes us to Poland during World War II to set the scene for the start of the events that follow decades later, moving from America to Europe and on to the Cayman Islands. The reader barely has time to draw breath as one scene follows another with cliffhangers that keep you turning the pages, and then the location moves yet again with more thrills and spills in store. For two days, I only stopped reading to eat and sleep. This is my kind of book and I can’t wait to read his next one. A well-deserved five stars. Highly recommended.

Again: ‘The Second List’ next to the heaviest of hitters, John Grisham, and his greatly reviewed ‘Judge’s List’.

On a weekend outing with my daughter, we discovered the table on which the first Mickey Mouse movie, Steamboat Willie, was shot, all the way back in 1928. It was also one of the first cartoons with synchronized sounds, and the movie in which Mickey replaced a prior Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. In front of that table, I wondered for how many authors the stories of this little, charismatic mouse were the first contact with storytelling in their early childhood.

A signed copy of ‘The Second List’ is listed in a rare book store as a collectable. =)

Suspense and Reveals on Global Scale Who needs Netflix when you are reading this book….unless they make this into a movie! The backdrop of this story spans through many continents and steeped in history. There were many moments that I could hear the pin drop as I turned the pages. You have to read it to feel it. What a ride and…. interesting plot twists!   Thank you, Patricia, for your 5-Star review for ‘The Second List’.
