NEWSPAPER & CUSTOMER REVIEWS: "Millennium Babe: The Prophecy," Capitola author Betty Draviss first mystery, has been getting good reviews on Amazon.com ..." - Leigh Weimers, San Jose (CA) Mercury News columnist ***** Hey Wetterman! What next? I found this book to be very entertaining. I liked how the characters were fleshed out, they became real. The story line was different than I had originally expected with a number of "twists and turns" to keep you wondering what will happen next. Having spent a considerable amount of time in the San Jose, Santa Cruz and Capitola area, I also really appreciated all the good memories it brought back. When you live there its so easy to take for granted. What Im looking forward to, is a sequel. Now that these fictional characters are so real,Im dying to know..."what happens next?" One of the refreshing features about this book aside from the fact that it is very interesting, is the fact that the author has written it in a style that could be shared with a wide audience. Definition?....She managed to use multiple adjectives to describe people, situations and locations without having to swear or use any abusive language. Not something that I was looking for, but something that was noticable. I would like to see more from this author. Okay, How soon? - Rochelle Venckus, Denver, Colorado ***** "This novel has a little bit of everything: adventure, mystery, humor, a hint of religion, and a healthy dose of love. ... I couldnt put it down. As far as Im concerned, its a five-star book." - Debra Pangborn, San Jose, CA ***** "The Millennium Babe was an exciting and thrilling story! ... Just when you think you have figured out the story it takes on new twists and turns. Once you start reading this book you will not want to put it down!" - Carolyn Joan Murillo, San Jose, CA ***** "Starting with an interesting character, David Wetterman, and pulling together a compelling plot, the story Millennium Babe comes to life. Twists, mystery, and curiosity draw the reader to finish the book quickly. True to a good story, the ending is not predictable. ... This is a book you will not regret buying." - Kathleen Chewey, Campbell, CA **** "Although Im more of a "who dun-it" mystery reader, I was quickly drawn into the story line in Millennium Babe and was able to identify easily with the characters as they typified many Silicon Valley residents. The author has done a successful job of capturing her readers attention in the first chapter, drawing them along to the climax at books end, and creating speculation about what will happen next. I hope there will be a sequel published soon." - Betsy Grandey, San Jose, CA

Biblical Christianity is challenged today by other religions such as Hinduism, Islam, Mormonism, Buddhism, Jehovah s Witness, Scientology, to name a few, including atheists and agnostics, who claim that Jesus was simply a man, a great teacher or guru, or a prophet of God who worked his way to godhood. Are such claims supported by the evidence? Can we trust the Bible to tell us the truth about Jesus? Is Jesus Christ truly God? Can we find evidence of his deity in the Old Testament? Does the New Testament affirm unequivocally that He is God? Are there reliable non-Christian sources that back such claims of deity? This book aims at addressing these fundamental questions while providing solid internal and external evidence of the divinity of Jesus Christ. In this age of plural spirituality, thirst for truth, and in need of an evidence-based dialogue among various religions, the book makes a compelling case for a closer scrutiny of prophecies contained in the Bible.

Reading The Shadow of Her Smile was like slurping a long, cold lemonade on a sultry, summer day--I couldn't devour it fast enough! The story started off with a bang, and grew increasingly suspenseful as Victoria Taylor Murray drew me into her exciting plot with the ease that only the best writers can achieve. From Trump Tower to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to Little Italy to NYPD and a grandmother's run-down mansion, she painted a New York seldom seen by outsiders. I especially relished the historical vignettes of The Big Apple woven in at appropriate places in the story. Although many of the supporting characters were ultra-worldly-- obviously shallow, greedy, and lustful--each one was unique and thoroughly fleshed-out. Even billionaire Forrest Gray--who set the stage for this novel when he hired Corbin Douglas to find Nikki Rourke--became larger than life as Murray wielded her magic pen to craft him. Through all these marvelous, mixed-up, often malevolent characters, Murray captured the true essence of the city's diversity of cultures and life-styles. And the hero and heroine were to die for! Corbin, a cop-turned-private-investigator, is every woman's dream: handsome, strong, and sexy, yet kind, caring, and ethical, while Nikki is the beautiful, charming, smart, gutsy, red-haired woman who is at the center of everything. Corbin hooked me right from the start, but I had to wait awhile to meet Nikki. The wait was worth it, and she quickly won my heart by the tender, loving manner in which she cared for our hero when he was injured. And then there's Charlie, Corbin's friend and former partner, and the love-of-his-life Bette. What a joy it was to meet them. Of stronger moral fiber, thesefour characters more than made up for the "indiscriminate" behavior of the minor characters. They became so real to me, I'll think of them often in days to come. The excitement was nonstop as Corbin searched for Nikki--"a woman in a photograph" with an unforgettable smile--overcoming death-defying, breath-stealing obstacles to help her. This well-written, fast-paced story has everything: believable characters, realistic dialogue, suspense, romance, and "original" humor. When Corbin, told his former partner, "I have a headache the size of Stephen King's Buick 8," I laughed out loud ... a welcome relief from the tension of the book's drama. The Shadow of Her Smile takes you through a series of twists and turns that makes your goosebumps sprout more goosebumps as you question: Who are the dead dancers? Who is killing red-haired women? Are they after Nikki too? Will Corbin find her in time or will she be the next victim? What's going on with the billionaire's wife? What does the chauffeur's "pretty-boy" son have to do with it? And the gangster and his hit squad? Is it all connected? The very talented Victoria Taylor Murray won my heart with this book. I join her growing legions of fans in applauding her on penning another winner. My one regret is that I didn't discover her from her very first book. -- Betty Dravis, author of The Toonies Invade Silicon Valley

Beware, citizens of Silicon Valley ... the bad Toonies are on their way. But never fear, Uncle Wom and the good Toonies are not far behind, and they will help Jeremy Kern, a young human newspaper cartoonist save the day.

A religious history from man's pre-mortal life to the end of the world.

The interrelationship of the ideas of apocalypse and millennium is a dominant concern of British Romanticism. The Book of Revelation provides a model of history in which apocalypse is followed by millennium, but in their various ways the major Romantic poets - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley - question and even at times undermine the possibility of a successful secularization of this model. No matter how confidently the sequence of apocalypse and millennium seems to be affirmed in some of the major works of the period, the issue is always in doubt: the fear that millennium may not ensue emerges as a significant, if often repressed, theme in the great works of the period. Related to it is the tension in Romantic poetry between conflicting models of history itself: history as teleology, developing towards end time and millennium, and history as purposeless cycle. This subject-matter is traced through a selection of works by the major poets, partly through an exposition of their underlying intellectual traditions, and partly through a close examination of the poems themselves.
