Gatekeeper Press

book review by Kate Robinson

"His skills as a trained assassin, bodyguard, investigator, and counterterrorist were impressive."

James Bond and Jack Ryan have nothing on Dale Lipinski, law school grad, special ops/black ops soldier, and former LASD detective. Suave, cool, and tech-savvy, the ladies' man glibly captures his female colleague's hearts while frequenting intel circles as a specialist for U.S. and Israeli intelligence operations and as a freelance crime-busting vigilante.

 – The US Review of Books
This May Be Difficult to Read by Claire N Rubman

"Gathering a bounty of research and personal experience, author, professor, and parent Rubman puts to rest many myths about learning to read, guiding us toward the best, most potent methods available, including myriad tips and techniques that demystifies the process."
 – RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Message in a Bullet by Owen Thomas
 
"This page-turner is a fast-paced and entertaining read featuring hard-boiled characters reminiscent of those of Raymond Chandler. Fans of crime fiction, particularly those featuring complicated, quirky characters, should enjoy this book. ... a first offering in a series that promises to keep readers coming back for more."
 – RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Russian Doll by Owen Thomas
 
"Rich, unique personalities have been crafted for every character in the story. It makes this book hard to put down. Mack could have stepped right out of a classic crime novel.... Fans of that genre might well add this series to their favorites list."
  – RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
The Munich Girl by Phyllis Edgerly Ring
 
"Ring is a gifted writer who employs language rich with emotional resonance. Three stories beguilingly intertwine.  ...fascinating stories intimately told with compassion and grace. The plot flows like a river sliding in and out of tributaries that continually add context, illumination, and depth."
