Book Review | Wayne Elsner | Tannion

Tannion

Author: Wayne Elsner

Title: Tannion

Genre: fiction

Synopsis: Lightning is always powerful and occasionally deadly. The bolt that hit Jim Tannion however was different. It gave him skills and abilities that made him think he could be the closest thing to a superhero the world had ever seen. Skills he could use to heal any injury, enhance his body, and control the bodies of others with only a touch. Then he found he could kill. Tannion knew he had to keep his new found skills a secret. No one could know about him or what he could do. Being found out would put him on a doctor's table as they took him apart to find out how he could do what he did. He wanted to use his skills to help people who needed it and to hurt those who would hurt others. From Kansas, to New York, and then to Los Angeles he searched for the people he wanted to stop. The bad guys who needed to be put away or maybe put down. But things and times change and sometimes one finds a line that is easier to cross than to stand behind. When do the good guys become the bad guys and do they always know the difference? What is important and what becomes important to each of us? Tannion isn't always sure. 

 Review: Excellent book. Easy to settle into and hard to stop reading. Really enjoyed reading this book and I would highly recommend it. This is good for both young and old.

Title: Imitating Art

Genre: Mystery, Romantic Suspense, Fiction, Romance

Synopsis: Don't get mad - write a book about it! Well not IT exactly, but writing a book is what Nell Flanagan did to get over her philandering husband Patrick, leaving her for a younger model. An exercise that started out as therapy, but ended up with her becoming an International bestselling author. Things are looking up at last, until events start happening in real life that start mirroring events in Nell's book. When Patrick goes missing in similar circumstances to the husband in her novel, Nell finds herself under the scrutiny of handsome Detective Sergeant Rob Parsons, whom she labels with the same womanising brush as her husband, particularly when he tries to flirt with her during questioning. And then when her twelve years old daughter, Laurel, is kidnapped, Nell finds herself on the road south with the last person on earth she would want help from - the handsome police officer himself! Imitating Art is a romantic caper introducing a new detective duo that sizzles like the best flirtatious banter!
