I just wanted to share my Midwest Review for my book, 'A Flamboyant Disarray of Dreams'
A Flamboyant Disarray of Dreams
Joy Lee Rutter
Behler Publications
22365 El Toro Road #135, Lake Forest, CA 92630
www.behlerpublications.com 1-800-830-2913
ISBN: 1933016027 $15.95 281 pages
To understand the extent of brain injuries is to possess the understanding of what it takes to work in a neuro-rehab. The main character, Joleen Cumberland, deals with hostile patients, verbal and physical assaults, miracles and her own personal burn out. Joleen is at her wits end after seven years of working at the rehab center, Rivers Edge. Everyday she had "a fear as if she was entering the belly of a gigantic sleeping monster".
Between her irritating co-worker, Brad and her new patient Mitch Stevens along with his brother Geoff, life starts to take an interesting twist. There are many gripping moments all through out the book. One in particular is when Joleen is kicked in the head by one of her patients. There are times when patients leap into rages, toss off prosthesis body parts and attack with toys. Through all this chaos, workers maintain their sanity, make major leaps in helping their patients and Joleen finds love.
The author has done a splendid job of bringing to life engrossing characters. The patients, co-workers and families are all substantial in description and dialogue. A Flamboyant Disarray of Dreams is a highly intelligent provocative novel. The book is enticing with its wild disarray, weird magical moments and plagued with paranoid delusions. A fast paced excellent read with an intriguing theory on the Roadrunner cartoon.

Way to go, Joy.
Nice review for a good book, I'm sure. I need a government loan to pay for all my "to read" list...
Congratulations.

I may as well post my recent Midwest Book Reveiw as per below:
Overlay is an action thriller with everything it takes to please readers of the genre: exciting characters, international locations, suspenseful intrigue, and a plot that could be unfolding in the real world at this moment.
The D Street Private Library in Washington, D.C. is hidden in plain sight. It may be long past its prime, but don’t let the seedy appearance fool you. Deep inside the bowels of its innocuous exterior is a technology devised to shroud the men who gather there in mystery. High ranking military and government players have a very big problem. Rance Colby.
Rance Colby is a covert ops specialist, probably the best there is. Proficiency in a dozen languages and dialects, a photographic memory, and his mastery of disguises make Colby lethal on assignment. Dubbed The Shadow Master by a previous president, Colby lives in a world of secret deals and black ops assignments. His true identity is unknown and his designation untouchable at high levels of government. When plans to have him deprogrammed backfire, the secret group scrambles to stop The Shadow Master before he can complete Project Overlay.
Deprogramming and a subsequent head injury leave Colby’s brains scrambled. He suffers flashbacks to both real and implanted memories but clearly remembers Project Overlay. Many lives are on the line, including his, and somehow he must prevent assassinations that could trigger World War Three. There are few people he can trust. Mac, the woman he loves, provides peace and comfort amidst painful flashbacks. U.S. General Brock and Soviet General Rutskoy become strong allies. Trusted long time friends and operatives Arturo Testaccio and Alvin L‘Ami cover Colby’s back as he takes on a cold and cunning freelance assassin, Arctic Rose.
Overlay is an exciting ride as we follow Colby and his friends from D.C. to the Middle East, Greece and Russia. Every so often I say a book has “movie” written all over it. This is one of the few. Think Mission Impossible meets The Bourne Identity.
