Book Presentation

Went to North Middle School in Milwaukee yesterday to my grandson's seventh-grade language arts class. The students were wonderful. I enjoyed reading an excerpt from the manuscript, One More Day. The students liked what I read.

The Arronna Crystal

My publisher sent the cover design for The Arronna Crystal. It's impressive!

On Borrowed Time

Teenage rebellion leads Shawn Kester down a path of destruction where defiance and misguided decisions bring him to the brink of disaster. Months of fighting with his parents and committing several criminal acts only scratch the surface of Shawn's destructive behavior. Allowing his emotions to rule his every move, he ultimately makes a decision that forever changes the course of his life. His defiance hurls him into an exciting car chase, a foolish game with a train, and an unexpected contest between life and death. Realizing the only hope for survival lies in Divine intervention, Shawn asks God for help. The result unfolds into a remarkable turn of events and an outcome that defies reason.

Reviews for A Long Journey Back

YOUR BEST BOOK EVER! Each one of your books gets better and better! You are a very creative author. I love the twists and turns. I am 3/4 the way done. I have been reading it in the hospital, waiting on my husband’s Knee surgery; it passes the time. At one point I had to tell him to go back to sleep because I wanted to finish the page I was reading!

The book is awesome. I read it everyday on my lunch hour. I never thought I could be so engrosed in a book. I was behind in my Christmas preparations because I couldn't stop reading.

I wanted to tell you that I read your book in two sessions. I was impressed with the story which is very "timely" with what is going on today. The new marriage, the separation and the person returning from the war with great problems. I especially like that there was a lot of dialogue and not too much description. I suppose it is harder to write all that dialogue, but I think it holds your interest more as for descriptions you can kind of skim over them (at least that is what I do sometimes) I am an avid reader, always was, and read anything I can get my hands on, books, magazines,newspapers, etc. I think that this story should have a sequel (when you are ready again) it held my interest to the end. Congratulations -- Good Job!

Review for Secrets Inside Bington Manor

In Ms. Madrzak's latest book, "Secrets Inside Bington Manor" there is an effort to preserve a lineage, a mysterious signal from a set of paintings and a action that keeps the story moving very quickly to a surprising end.

The author builds the mystery and reveals information strategically to maintain our attention and then builds the action to a climax that ultimately reveals the entire secret inside and outside Bington Manor. The story reaches its denouement inside the old Bington family mansion with members of the Bington and Jacobs families present as well as the friends who also are supporting Jackie and his family in their effort to unblock the secrets of Jackie's communications from the netherworld.
