The Man Who Loved Too Much by                                      John D.Rachel-
A-Book-Review-by-Gina Dawn 

John D.Rachel, who is one of my favorite authors, always intellectually stimulating. He can tell a story both sardonically and eloquently. His writing is always authentic, gritty and real. His characters are such that everyone can relate to. “The man who loved too much” by John D. Rachel is  an intriguing story of a throw away child named Billy, who despite the dark cloud that  hovers over him, he manages to escape a dysfunctional childhood and get himself into college. This is where the underdog Billy blossoms, but true to form, as is the cycle of life. When one does not learn from their past and childhood, one is doomed to be deceived again in adulthood. That is of course until one finds the lesson and the blessing contained therein. That is  Billy’s journey. Just when you think he has escaped his dysfunctional childhood environment.  Against all odds, he conquers, falls in love,  inwardly happy, yet naïve and trusting. He appears to be doomed as he is victimized again and again as if it is all unfinished business or karma. I’m looking forward to the next volume in this trilogy. Eager to read what future challenges and experiences Billy must conquer!

Thank you for another entertaining, good read John D Rachel! Bring on the next one! 

Blinders-Keepers-By-Jon-Rachel-A-Book-Review-By-Gina-Dawn

When I see or read john Rachel, I want to call him Twister, because his writing style reminds me of my quarter horse named Twister who could turn on a dime.

His latest book “BLINDERS KEEPERS” is a political satire of a young man with an idealistic mindset, of “it will all come out in the wash.”

This young man left a boring little town, and his merely being at the wrong place at the wrong time propelled him into an underground fugitive role.

Rachel’s characters in the role of authority or government all fit the the dysfunctional traits of Adult children of Alcoholics, and hysterically so.

I’ve read no other Author who can pen such sardonic quips as Rachel.

His book is chock full of original descriptives like “Teflon enigma” and

“Sock puppet theatre of American Life”

You are a good read Jon Rachel, keep them coming!

A=Book-Review-Of-An-Unlikely-Truth-By-John-D.-Rachel-Reviewed-By-Gina-Dawn

Another intellectually stimulating, thought provoking read from John D.Rachel. A political satire, full of hysterical quips by Hedonistic characters, had me laughing out loud! Delve into the political views of the Author and your in for a great read of captivating characters,many of us can relate to.
I especially liked the dynamic and swish African-American female, “Jamilla”
whose brass with class assertiveness propels Martin Truth forward,out of his shell!
The main character Martin Truth, moves in and out of inertia from disassociation of self, stemming from an unstable child hood, thus fuelled his incessant need to parentify democracy via his naive idealistic approach to politics. Only in America could a delivery boy become a Congressman!
You have sold me again John Rachel, If I was American I would join your pledge to bring back
“We the people” and “Throw the bums out!” You’re a great read!

Ev-Bishop’s-novel-Hooked-A-book-review-by-Gina-Dawn

Ev Bishops recent novel Hooked is an interesting read involving complex and deep family dynamics. Once again Ev Bishop, masterfully sets her story line in a delightful and natural setting. The tranquil part of her story is in the setting, she will put you right there. The complexities of social and karmic interplay will keep you reading. Bishop artfully reveals vulnerability and inner strength in her well-rounded characters. Hooked companions an earlier novel by Bishop that I much enjoyed called “Wedding Bands”
So if you’re looking for a decent read, nothing gorey, simply pleasant set in beautiful surroundings. With every day courageous, yet somewhat reactive characters then Ev Bishop is the right read for you! You can find Ev Bishop’s novels and blogs at www.Ev Bishop.com
Her literary bodies of work can also be found on

Petrocelli by John Rachel;

John Rachel’s latest novel is far removed from his usual genre of Political satire. Not for the faint of heart, nor the weak of stomach. Petrocelli is a provocative, dark, primal journey into the underworld of Human trafficking and all it’s maniacal, sadistic players. An intellectual stimulant for those wanting to be in the know. A thrilling read for anyone who dares to delve into the pits of hell that Rachel so eloquently evokes. A can’t put it down novel, that should become a movie Thriller.
