Review of Outskirts Press from Patricia Vuillemot, author of “Band of Tears”

“I have published three Band of Tears Saga books with OUTSKIRTS. Each one has a custom designed cover and was professionally edited. I highly endorse having your book professionally edited. Cheri Miller and her team are communicators and problem solvers. My newest endeavor with OUTSKIRTS is the purchase of the book launch bundle. Check out what OUTSKIRTS has done for the Band of Tears Saga on my Amazon authors page.”

Hot off the footsteps of the Obsidian Saga, in the third installment of the Band of Tears, Patricia weaves a dreamscape of desire and passion turned to murder in the Emerald Saga. A native of Illinois, Patricia makes her home on an acre of country land outside of Chicago with her husband and children.

The diabolical Karmic wheel of life continues to spin in the Band of Tears Emerald Saga

Beautiful, red-haired Theresa’s dark dreams take her on another riveting journey through Al Capone’s private life. Consequences of gruesome choices made in the past reveal themselves in this dreamscape world of desire, lust, incest, insanity and murder. The chilling discoveries in Theresa’s familial past, bring her to the harsh reality of her present, where a hopeful, new beginning must be a constant reminder of a horrific past.

“Prepare to embark on a captivating journey through the streets of Chicago’s lawless prohibition era, to the to the Northwoods of Wisconsin in the 1980s. Just like the two books before, this book delves into family, greed, violence and lust, that span decades. The story line was so bold it defied the constraints of time and the finality of death! Couldn’t put it down!” The University Book Reviews Pelton Rexnord

“With a unique blend of suspense and captivating narrative, the story takes you on a thrilling adventure, transporting you across different eras and dimensions. As you turn the pages, you’ll be immersed in rich historical settings. As you delve deeper into the story, you’ll find yourself contemplating the intricacies of fate and personal growth. The narrative skillfully weaves together moments of reflection, heart-pounding action, and unexpected revelations, keeping you engaged and eager to uncover the next piece of the puzzle.” R. Joseph Maretta

Review of Outskirts Press from James A. Hunter, author of “Soft And Gentle 11: A Remembered Prose”

“I have published eleven books with Outskirts Press and would recommend them to anyone ready to publish. They were very cooperative with attaining the interior format which I wanted. They take care of the details which authors don’t want to get bogged down with. I have been very happy with them.”

Jim is the youngest of eleven children and grew up on a farm near the rural small town of Metamora, Indiana. His parents started their life together about the time of the Great Depression, so their values and principles were a reflection of those difficult times. Their children were raised under old-school discipline, which may seem a little harsh by today’s standards. They were raised on hard work, but they were clever and innovative enough to find time for hard play as well. They adopted most of their parents’ values and were served well by them. That same family farm where they were raised still resides in the family over a hundred years after the grandparents settled there. Jim’s love for the land led to him owning part of that farm for 50 years and still counting. He owned much of the valley surrounding it for much of his life. Growing up and living with nature in that valley has provided the backdrop and powerful inspiration for much of his writing.

Remember the good times and learn from the bad times, to enjoy more good times.

Most of us find ourselves just trying to keep up with our rapidly-changing world on a daily basis. Technology enriches our life, but it also inherently brings stress and takes so much away from relationships because of lost interactions. A little simplification is always good for the soul. Reading about life in uncomplicated form is also good for the soul. See and feel that which the author has experienced as he leads us through the simplicity and beauty of the good things in life. This heartfelt collection of prose will relax and mellow the heart as it explores life, love, beauty, nature, happiness, hardships, dreams, and nostalgic memories. This work is a timeless treasure of observations which uniquely capture the soft and gentle aspects of life.

Review of Outskirts Press by author Brock Bodenschatz, author of “The Time Has Come”

“Was expecting the package with my copies of “The Time Has Come” any day, so when I checked the tracking code I was surprised to find it had been delivered a half an hour earlier. I rushed out to find a box by my door. Of course, I knew what it was right away. I quickly brought the box in and opened it. It’s hard to describe the excitement when after all these years I was holding the published book in my hand. It was a thing of beauty. I couldn’t wait to show it to someone. Seeing my daughter-in law heading to her car, I rushed outside to show her and give her the first copy. A feeling of accomplishment swept over me maybe even more exciting than when I earned my first Black Belt.”

Brock Bodenschatz was born in a time before technology controlled every aspect of life. Being a sailor, surfer, motorcyclist and martial artist his life experiences have inspired many of the events in this story.

An uncharted path to destiny

Sometimes all the time in the world seems to be heading to one instance. One man has looked for a treasure his whole life haunted by the past. Following all the clues left by his ancestors he feels he’s closer than ever but time is running out. The grave robbers he encountered in his past are coming for the same treasure and revenge but so are others. Three men are sailing up the coast from Key West to Long Island’s East End unbeknownst to what awaits. The grave robbers are also headed in the same direction with definite plans of what they want. Plans have a way of never working as intended for all the parties involved. Unforeseen chance meetings occurred with these people in the past that will affect everyone. It appears all the players are connected to one another in some way. Between the treasure hunter and his voodoo priestess wife, the three men sailing north and the grave robbers with the girl and the Rastafarian, all have crossed paths in the past. Through a series of adventures and misadventures it all comes to a climax on the East End when the parties come together for the final confrontation.
