Sometime I Wish I Was Inside A Book-Literally

   Reading is the one place that I can go and collect my thoughts and not get distracted. You see if I am working on a project whether it's something outside or something really technically involved and I start to get overloaded and am not comprehending everything or seems that way all I have to do is open a book. ( or now wake up my Ipad ) Something about reading that clears all my distractions and trains my mine to focus on one thing.  Graham Brown is one of my favorite authors.
   The main reason I guess why I'm writing this blog is because I just got the new IPad and I joined a company that basically gives me unlimited downloads to my Ipad. These new digital books are really cool. I have any book I want. Anyways I wanted to share that with everybody that the technology that we have is pretty cool that I can do that. In stead of just having one book with me I now have over a thousand. I hope it doesn't turn into a distraction itself. Actually it already is. lol                                                  
    Let me share with you some books that really grabbed my attention and were very hard to put down once I started reading. One author is Graham Brown who is from Chicago. He's an attorney and pilot and is married to a women named Tracey from Tucson Arizona.The book that was so hard for me to put down once I opened it is called "Black Rain" which is a thriller. He has a new book called "Black Sun" that will get published later this fall. Can't wait for this one to come out. I hope is comes to my digital book club. I bet I can find out and pre-order it. Black Rain is about covert government operative Danielle Laidlaw who leads an expedition into the deepest reaches of the Amazon in search of a legendary Mayan city. His team journeys into the tangled rainforest's-unaware that they are replacements for a group that vanished weeks before and that the treasure they are seeking is no mere artifact but a breakthrough discovery that could transform the world. You can get it at Barnes and Noble in physical print or get it at mypadmedia in digital format.

 Another two authors whom I love to read is W.E.B Griffin  who has six best selling series; The Corps, Brotherhood of War, Badge of Honor and Presidential Agent. He has been invested into the orders of St. Michael of the Army Aviation Association of America and is a life member of the U.S Special Operations Association And William E. Butterworth IV who has been an editor and writer for more than twenty five years and has worked closely with his father for almost a decade on the editing and writing of the Griffin books. He is coauthor of the bestselling novels The Saboteurs, The Double Agents, Death and Honor and the Traffickers.  The book I'm reading now "The Honor Of Spies"
     The Honor Of Spies goes back to August 6, 1943 where in his brief career in the Office of Strategic Services, twenty-four-year-old Cletus Frade has already been involved in a lot of unusual situations, but nothing like the one he's in now-standing with a German lieutenant colonel name Wilhelm Frogger in the middle of a miserable hot and remote Mississippi prisoner-of-war camp.
   Frade's job? Typical OCC: to help the uncooperative Frogger escape. Frooger's parents are in Frade's custody in Argentina, because of their involvement in a secret German plan to establish postwar safe havens for senior Nazi officials in South America. But they're being uncooperative, too and it's up to Frade to persuade the younger Frodder was part of a conspiracy, its goal: to assassinate Adolf Hitler. If the OSS can use his knowledge and connections to nudge that plot along even just a little bit-they may be able to end this war right now.
