THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL by Glenn Kleier...

...goosebumps in the making!

When I first learned the title of Glenn Kleier's second epic book,

The Knowledge of Good & Evil I spent a great deal of time speculating about the content...Boy HOWDY was I wrong!

I think I've always known the Vatican is run pretty much like the seat of a major government or an undeclared aristocracy. I remember as a child wondering about this ritual of "kissing" the Pope's ring...because it just reminded me of the many

Henry the 8th types who believed they were the sitting presence of God on earth so you had to kiss THEIR rings.

I found it really curious why a country that consistently claims to be neutral, sends its military to

guard the head of a religious hierarchy. What's that all about? Unless my memory fails me, Jesus didn't have shatterproof glass surrounding him when he walked among the people, nor did he have an army from a neutral country.

But I digress. I have read and re-read Glenn Kleier's first epic Best Seller,

THE LAST DAY and found myself drawn to the telling voice of this gifted author..so when I got my hands on

THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD & EVIL I eagerly shut off my phone, turned off my computer, and told my daughter and cats I was on vacation.

Many of us ponder the truth about life, and what secrets are kept from us...for reasons good and maybe not so good. As someone who has studied history I know the beginnings of faith have not always shown the leaders to be strict adherents to the Ten Commandments at the very least.

In this book you have a young man, no longer a priest for his own reasons, hungering to connect with his long dead parents, and learning of a secret that might open the pathways certain factions have no intentions of letting anyone become privy to.

What will fanatics do to protect what they perceive as a danger to an ideal?

Glenn Kleier gives us a book filled with theocracy at its most suspenseful.

Therefore if you have not found your way to this brilliant author's tales, there's no time like the present.

The Knowledge of Good & Evil is available where fine books are sold in all manner of release.

Scurry to your nearest outlet, pick up your copy and immerse yourself in some of the richest suspense I have ever read...As for me, I am keeping my eyes peeled for the next Glenn Kleier book...If I pray real hard, think we can make it soon?

WHEN MAGIC COMES YOUR WAY...

Before I begin I should admit I am a long time fan of Fractals. I never thought I'd come across an artist who could come this close to duplicating the magic of fractal imaging, but Mary Coffey has done that and more.

Magic. Her work leaves me so breathless I HAVE to share it...READY?

I begin with EIGHT FOR ETERNITY:

This woman's talent is absolutely breathtaking. Next is AGE OF AQUARIUS.

Makes me wish I was not a Sagitarius.

I am an author. I paint with words...What I would not give to have Mary Coffey's talents. I can't even draw a straight line...even if I have a ruler. I WISH I were kidding.

Shall we move on? This one is WONDERLAND and I absolutely love it!

A lot of Mary's work is almost kaleidoscopic...like this next one, aptly named: A CRYSTAL CHILD

It's very hard for me to choose only a few from the myriad of works Mary has shared with the world so far. Every one of them speaks to a deep part of who I am...and isn't that what any creative work should do?

This next masterpiece is entitled...TANGO IN SIDE

Normally I am not a big fan of abstract art...but Mary's creations do not seem abstract to me. Somewhat fractal? Perhaps, but most definitely powerful.

Like this next one appropriately named: ABUNDANCE

I have spent a lot of time looking at Mary's work wondering how she does it...There are so many images within the images...and here's another that just speaks loudly to me...BY ANY OTHER NAME

But it's NOT a rose...is it? And yet...it does resemble flowers.

Have I mentioned that I'm in awe of Mary Coffey? THE RECONNECTION shows why...

Every time I turn around, Mary is presenting more and more of her brilliance...this next one she calls A DASH OF SALT...

Is this how salt would appear under a microscope? I'd like to think so. Imagine the wonder of knowing every time you add a sprinkle of salt to your food, you'd be coloring your meal and your body with such a cornucopia of beauty.

Magical is her stunning HEAR MY SONG

I regret not having enough room to showcase all of Mary's mesmerizing works, but I will close on THIS masterpiece that hopefully says it all for all of us...

BELOVED I AM.

WHAT MAKES A BOOK A WINNER?

I went into the recent sale list of MuseItUp Books and found myself wondering why some books set the world on fire and others don't? I find this whole process of what it takes to lure readers most confusing...I truly wish to understand it.

I'm a book cover hound myself. If the cover sucks, I'll pass it by every time.

So I decided to conduct a survey...I'm going to post some covers of the MuseItUp books in the top ten and above sales right now and you tell me, based on the covers, which you are drawn to. I want to see if COVERS are what makes them popular.

Okay...here we go...and these are in no order...

OK...the covers shown here are not copied in any particular way...except how I was able to copy and paste them here. Some are bigger than others, but that means nothing except I couldn't find the smaller ones in bigger formats...for that I DO apologize.

Now I leave it to you, my viewers to tell me if you are drawn to buy based on the covers alone...and if you are, please tell me which ones you are tempted to buy based SOLELY on the covers.
