William Conescu	Jul 19 2008 10:20 AM Hello, Burke's Book Store! Thanks for the add! I'm a new Harper Perennial author, reaching out to some of Harper Perennial’s book-loving friends. BEING WRITTEN is my first novel, and it will be released on September 9. It’s the story of a man who knows he’s a minor character in a book and the lengths to which he’ll go to win a bigger part. You can find out more about the novel in this one-minute video, on my MySpace profile, and at www. williamconescu. com. Thanks again! - William

Mystery Sci-fi author Rai Aren	Feb 9 2008 5:59 PM Hi Burkes - I am very happy to be your friend! I support independent businesses, and I agree that bookstores should have soul, be culturally connected, and places of discovery...that's what makes them magical places of untold adventure, education and thought... I wish you continued success!!!

philopatrios	Jan 5 2008 6:15 AM Highly recommended, concludes new review of DIVERTING THE BUDDHA, the novel about the trashing of democracy by political elites “Bob Swartzel writes with authority about military and corporate matters and his description of the Buddhist temples is excellent. By the middle of the book, the reader is sucked into this story like the boots of the soldiers who must patrol constantly watching for the enemy and never trusting anyone. Because of this authenticity, the reader is plunged deeply into the destructive atmosphere that was Vietnam. We feel the mud and smell the blood of the dead bodies. I highly recommend this book for all people who would like to know the real story of the war in Vietnam. It truly shows the effect that a war can have on any country and on its institutions.” Muse Book Reviews, reviewed by Barbara Ehrentreu
