<span style="font-family: Georgia, Garamond, serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"><i>The FBI doesn't know what to do with Analyst Caycee Scarlet. She's brash, brilliant & brutally relentless when tracking a serial killer. But she also has a temper, problems with authority figures and recognizing the chain of command. Things go sideways for <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="fdd3a65d-2405-4a05-9975-89dfdc6ef982" id="a59e8780-4f7e-42aa-9e46-c191a2e1603d"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="730f46a3-5d80-4992-b01a-60ffe261003f" id="cb1f7919-4d99-44f6-b864-b52190335804">Caycee</span></span> when she uncovers a lead that saves the Omega Killer's latest victim. Rather than working the system and making nice with her pompous boss, sparks fly and she gets into an altercation with the lead Special Agent on the case, resulting in a transfer to another assignment. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="10db8700-c366-4bbd-a59e-12e8729316e4" id="07ee0474-c74d-45b4-9b75-b64390b27bb2"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ce2c148e-bf70-4922-9619-ca7b5195cb3c" id="25921639-18dd-4a0a-8ba8-d51cc4ef157a">Caycee</span></span> finds herself transferred to an FBI interrogation facility where she assesses the most dangerous of criminals in custody.

Sparks, of a different variety, fly between the Special Agent and his new Analyst, as they work together to crack the most difficult cases. Just when Caycee's wounds are healing from her expulsion on the Omega Killer team, she is dragged back into the thick of it. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b91c0aa6-c054-4713-aacf-29d30f550d52" id="0f4c3bd5-048e-4eb2-80b7-58f0095880e9"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7cbebdec-b80b-4adf-951c-b57eb25a780b" id="a6311f6f-ad95-4698-9478-6b2a4e35772f">Caycee</span></span> and her new team are front and center, focused on an interview of a bombing suspect, when Omega comes looking for revenge. His attack wounds her team, leaving Caycee with only one option for help-the devastatingly handsome bombing suspect.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Garamond, serif;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">If I could review this book in one line, I would say I loved it! But, a detailed review does more justice to an author and the readers. So, here is my take on the first book, "Scarlet Revenge" which is a part of a suspense series. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">Ann McGinnis' "Scarlet Revenge" is a thriller which involves an incredible heroine in the form of Caycee Scarlet, an Intelligent Analyst for the FBI. Scarlet's induction into FBI helps save a serial killer Omega's latest victim, which irks not only the serial killer, but, her power licking boss, Wilkes. She manages to rub him the wrong way on the first day of her stint and lands up in a team headed by Agent Gil. Agent Gil proves not only to be her boss, but there is also office romance brewing between him and her. Just when the storm caused by Omega seems to be settling down, there enters The Baseball Bomber, Hicks who manages to woo Scarlet's heart, or does he? It is the story of Scarlet being torn between Gil and Hicks and in the midst of all this, her mission to find the serial killer, Omega or is it the other way? I am not going into the details of this thriller, it is best to read it in person. It has so many twists and turns that will keep you hooked to it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">The editing is crisp and flawless. The author has a good hold on the story, characters, and the language. Not once did I find the author to falter. The thriller is fast paced and thoroughly detailed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">In one sentence, this book is unputdownable. Read it over the weekend with a cup of coffee to give you company and you would have created a perfect little weekend read for yourself and a thoroughly enjoyable one which will keep your heart pulsating. If I have to rate the book, I will give it 4.25 out of 5 stars. The onus now is on the author to keep the magic alive in the second book, "Scarlet Envy". </span></div>

Ann McGinnis writes about characters that let their egos and sense of justice rule their lives, while they protect the public from serial killers and unthinkable crimes. Of course, Ann's characters always find a way to blow off steam -- romantically!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a writer, Ann comes from the world of action/thrillers and <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a094c2d0-dde9-486d-af99-faa0e15eed8a" id="cbc26994-eb33-4770-a55f-6694c50fd0c4"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9c68a810-acdd-4659-bf18-b9562d2e088d" id="84a1f92a-bb61-4107-a297-5bf5fe223dd6">screenwriting</span></span>. She has two scripts currently in development. A third script, about a spunky FBI analyst, is the basis of "Scarlet Revenge" and the main character Caycee Scarlet. It is the first book in a series, with Book 2 “Scarlet Envy” coming out in September 2014.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Usha Narayanan's "The Madras Mangler" is a thriller set against the backdrop of an evolving modern Chennai which was, not-so-long ago, called Madras. The story is about five girls studying in a college in Chennai and the various situations that they are entrapped in their respective lives. There is also danger lurking around them with a serial killer on loose, who mainly targets college-going girls. Coming to their rescue is Vir Pradyumna , a criminologist who is bent upon nailing the serial killer so that he can put his own demons from the past to rest and also save his new found love, Kat from being a target.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Honestly speaking, when I started reading the first few pages of the book that starts with a scene where a fresher is being bullied by a few notorious men, I felt I had come across the scene in many South Indian movies and for that matter, a few Bollywood ones too. I was a tad disappointed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Coming to the story line, I think it is very well etched. The main plot and the sub plots have been dealt with immaculately and blend very well with each other. As it should be with thrillers, this one is a fast paced thriller and keeps the reader hooked to it. The characterisation and the detailing is appreciable. Since it is a thriller, I am not going into the details of the story and will leave it to the reader to experience it first hand. But, I still think that a lot of scenes are very similar to scenes from movies or soaps that we come across, and it does feel very predictable at times.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">But, there is one thing I should mention and it is the way the book is structured. The language and the grammar used, for the most part of it, is a delight to read. The editing is crisp and commendable. Hats off to the author for having achieved this feat, considering most books nowadays fail in this aspect. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Overall, it was a nice weekend read which kept me guessing. I wish there was a little less movies/soaps kind of a feel, because, it kept my brain thinking that I have come across this many times before. If I have to rate this book, I would give it 3.25 out of 5 stars.</span></div>

Be crazy, be creative. That’s been my mantra as a writer and a creative director ― in advertising, radio, <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="466cb5e0-6b45-49b8-aecb-78ce8d87f859" id="11b4af97-dd74-4a84-a72e-315626ef4866"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7c4db6ee-a8fe-4017-a9b7-d5c9c149476a" id="3bfa6b71-d819-4864-a117-a95261755c11">corpcomm</span></span> and web-writing. I turned up the craziness a notch by becoming a novelist, with the freedom to write exactly what I wanted. I started a <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="be75844a-ca32-44e1-a742-71703723ba11" id="abee1bee-a94d-4aab-b194-9d56c749217f"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0fbcb22f-65df-4e9f-b178-ed6e94ee700c" id="1e636e3d-7aa5-428f-98f4-0f0697c65f3a">romcom</span></span>, changed it into a thriller and sweated and slogged to get the pieces to work together. Research, cliffhangers, suspense, clues, red herrings ― my brain was in a tizzy for days and months. </div>

Done, dusted off, dispatched. A few rejections, heartbreak. A contract from Leadstart, bliss. Creating a spooky book trailer with images and music I bought online. A tweak here and there, with my editor. Poring over images for the cover. Suggesting the artist turn ‘The’ in the title sideways. The book comes out on Flipkart and Amazon first. And after some nail-biting suspense, in bookstores. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="32cb9c3b-d73d-4cf3-94ad-f6d0eb4e76a3" id="576f8887-8917-47a0-87e2-5ac72d238f13"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="52941bf0-12d7-4fb2-b6c8-3c096d229991" id="defe3662-0525-42e6-a4cd-e21fbd4b63eb">Organised</span></span> a <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="32cb9c3b-d73d-4cf3-94ad-f6d0eb4e76a3" id="076ba3c4-90b9-4ba2-8f76-16bc3a898453"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="52941bf0-12d7-4fb2-b6c8-3c096d229991" id="01b4c24e-f7a9-4f50-ba08-439930e21950">launch</span></span> with Suhasini Maniratnam and Rudra Krishna.

Every now and then, there comes a book that doesn't fit into any of the categories of books I usually read. When the author of "India Was One" asked me for a honest review, I was up for it thinking that this might be one of those books. I was right, this book isn't like any of the books I have read before. It is different and hence, the review is going to be a lot different. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am an Indian and also a Non Resident Indian, and that makes me look at the book from two perspectives. I tried coming up with one view about the book, but my mind was in a conflict. So, my review is going to be from two different perspectives.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story is about Jai and Kaahi who fall in love with each other during their time in college. It is about the time they spend in college with their friends, their love, their marriage, their move to USA and their subsequent return to India when they get to know that India has got divided, again. The storyline is an usual college love story, set in the backdrop of modern India.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As an Indian who has spent most of her time in India, I felt the book was a bit of a drag because of the various details that was interspersed within the story, which an Indian already knows and is aware of. I also fail to understand the reason behind the use of vernacular words in the book that are written in the native language, considering the words are in English anyways. This makes the story lose the plot because we are hoarded with details in every paragraph. The smooth flow of a story is missing. I wish the details were either in the form of footnotes or should have been at the end of the book wherein people who wanted to know more about a particular thing could always look it up. But, this is only my take on it. I am sure the author would have thought of it differently while penning the book.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I contradict my own review here when I say that I believe the author made a brave attempt to write a book which is different and unique. As a Non Resident Indian, this book reminded me of what I was missing. The journey of Jai and Kaahi reminded me of our journey to the United States. The detailing is very accurate. Also, the emotions, the anxiety, the fear of Jai and Kaahi is something I could relate to. It was like a journey back in time when my husband and I came to the country about a year and half ago. I was emotionally very well tuned to this particular phase in the book. Again, there were details about how things work in USA and the like, which I skimmed through. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I have to put it briefly, I think I am going to get into the author's brain and think of it from his perspective. Here is a book wherein the characters and the story seems to be the background and the details about India, its culture, perspective of Indians seems to be the focus. I should say I liked the book though I feel the editing should have been crisp. The language is simple, the story is simple, but the essence of story where India gets divided into two seems to have lost its plot somewhere between all the details. I feel this book targets the international audience more than people residing in India, considering the minute detailing in the book. I feel this book is a good read for kids with Indian roots, who are born and brought up abroad, to get an insight of their roots. It is also a good read for people who want to get to know modern India and its culture, atleast to a certain extent. If I have to rate the book, I think I will give it a 3.25 out of 5 stars.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 26px;"><i><b>MY REVIEW</b></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 26px;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Having read Mills & Boon, chicklits and romantic novels for over 15 years now, I get a bit skeptical when I come across a novel or in this case, a novella that falls into the romantic genre. It is easy to go wrong with this genre, isn't it? But, Sumeetha manages to do a good job with her book, The Perfect Groom.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">The story line is different, but not unique. The "surprise factor" in the book has been dealt with many a times in both the literary world, as well as the entertainment industry consisting of daily soaps and movies. The story is all about Nithya's life, wherein the story moves back and forth with present day Nithya remembering her days back at her </span></span><span style="line-height: 26px;">villainous</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"> uncle's house when she was younger. Present day, Nithya appears to be happily married to her perfect NRI groom. But in reality, the picture is anything but rosy. She is in a marriage that has nothing to offer and has no future. But, she doesn't want to give Ashok, her husband, a divorce </span></span><span style="line-height: 26px;">because</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"> she has a younger sister, yet to be married, and she doesn't want to spoil her chances of getting married. </span></span><span style="line-height: 26px;">The first thought that came to my mind was that it was a regressive portrayal of the main character, but, I realize that it might be true in most cases, considering how paranoid we are about the way our society thinks.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"> T</span></span><span style="line-height: 26px;">hings change for better when Nithya meets her good old friend, Vasu and romance brews up between them. The story then explores the highs and lows of their relationship, entangled with Nithya's baseless marriage with Ashok. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">The hypocrisies hidden behind the labeled cultural values are dealt with in a very sensitive manner. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">The characterization of the 2 main characters, Nithya and Vasu are very well etched, whereas I feel Ashok's character could have been more elaborate. Other minor characters have been dealt with finesse. The story flows smoothly and Sumeetha does an excellent job at maintaining the pace of this lovely novella. The edition is crisp and pretty well done, though, I wish that the vocabulary for the Tamil words used was given on the same page below, and not at the end of the book. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">Overall, an easy to relate, fast paced, entertaining book. Given the circumstances, the story could have been yours or mine. If I have to rate the book, I will give it 4 out of 5 stars. </span></span></div>

The book is a collection of free verse poems that encapsulate the poet's most heartfelt emotions about life. They speak of moments that sweep our breath away, of beauty that bewitches the heart, of people, memories, sights, sounds and smells that awaken a sense of wonder and wistfulness. With rich metaphors and eloquently flowing imagery, the poet's love for the simple things in life unfolds in different moods and tones, ultimately ending up in words felt, cherished, concieved and written... in turquoise silence</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><i><u>MY REVIEW</u></i></b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Reading poetry books is not something that I do very often. I enjoy poetry, but, I am not someone who has an indepth knowledge of the various poetic forms. </span><span style="line-height: 26px;">Hence, when I was asked to review Sanober Khan's Turquoise Silence, I readily agreed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">The poems in this book are in the form of free verses, i.e., they do not follow any particular rhyme, meter or other musical pattern. Spontaneity is a key factor when it comes to free verses and Sanober does an excellent job in maintaining the spontaneity in all her poems. The words seem to flow effortlessly without any glitches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Sanober's poems deal with emotions - emotions dealing with poetry, the moon, memories, wishes, seasons, senses and many other aspects that we come across in our lives. The metaphors used to convey the underlying emotions bowled me over, my favourite being "I begin as a single snowflake and end in an avalanche" from the very first poem, Poetry In My Heart (Page #7).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I have to handpick 5 poems that I read and re-read many times, they would be:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Poetry In My Heart (Page #7)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let Me Die (Page #35)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All Things Past (Page #40)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To The World (Page #65)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Night Soul (Page #67)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a few things that, personally, bothered me a little. Firstly, at many places, the "I" is in lower case. Secondly, the use of ellipses was overdone at many places. I wish these minute details could be taken care of, because, they stand out evidently in free verse poems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, I must say I enjoyed reading the book. If I have to rate the book, I would give it 3.75 stars out of 5.<br />
<br />
A poet writes a poem keeping one thought in mind, whereas, when it reaches the audience, it is interpreted in many different ways and that is the beauty of poetry. As Sanober puts it rightly, poetry is mystical at its best. I wish Sanober the very best for all her future ventures as a poet. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Writing poetry is a very different, mystical experience. There is no plot, no storyline, no characters…just a stage set for you and your own deepest self. When I wrote my first poem six years ago, I never imagined it would someday become such an important aspect of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always loved poetry for the creative freedom it offers, the minimal rules, its ability to elevate even the most ordinary moments. At the end of each poem I write, it feels as though I have not just evolved in my style, but also as a person. My work first appeared in Cyberwit’s international journal, the Taj Mahal Review, which paved the way for me to getting two books published.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have long been inspired by poets like Khalil Gibran, Rumi, Rabindranath Tagore ,Rolf Jacobsen, E.E Cummings, and John Keats. A voracious reader myself, I enjoy reading poetry and novels from around the globe. </div>

I remember using it in a college poetry class, and loving the result. It really forces you into details, and to work on “conducting” the poem as it grows, instead of trying to force the poem to be one thing or another in particular. The prompt is called the “Twenty Little Poetry Projects,” and was originally developed by Jim Simmerman. And here are the twenty little projects themselves — the challenge is to use them all in one poem:</span></i></span></span></span><span style="border: 0px; color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 27.120555877685547px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /></i></span></span></span><br />

As Vince explains, the curtal sonnet is shorter than the normal, fourteen line sonnet. Instead it has a first stanza of six lines, followed by a second stanza of four, and then closes with a half-line. The form was invented in the 1800s by Gerard Manley Hopkins, who used it in his famous poem <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Beauty" style="border: 0px; color: #a61418; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Pied Beauty”</a>. So for today, I challenge you to give the curtal sonnet a whirl. It doesn’t need to rhyme — though it can if you like — and feel free to branch out beyond iambic pentameter.</i></span><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-style: inherit;">" </span></span></span></span></span></div>
