A Pleasant Surprise

Looking for something to read the other night, I found this gem on my wife's night stand. I didn't have high expectations - a "chick book" - but at least it was set locally. I was wrong! The story moves along - it was a quick read - and I was drawn in by the characters. I cared about Lucky and Heather and enjoyed the twists and turns. I know I've met some of these people and the guessing only added to the fun. When Ms. Burr's next novel comes out, my wife better not leave it laying around if she wants to read it first.

will hit the bestseller list

Wealth is "Not" an Empty Virtue

Work up that sequel, Catherine. Bang the drum of success over an icy samosa and take a flourished bow -- or two, or three. But please! Don't stop here. Don't rest on the laurels of one lusty story. Go write us more, Kiddo. Tell us another tale, entertain us anew. You have a gifted knack to express a cornucopia of mundane emotions. The underlying truth of human frailty screams out from the pages of your novel. The real secret in "Silicon Secrets" is the tacit humor that underscores all of mankind's innate needs. Lucky defines "life" with a nonchalant ease of a rogue savant. Heather, the struggling child of the cosmos, sees beauty wasted everywhere. A malcontent of wealth and ease, she acts out - screams out - her "sense" of being. She will be, she. Damn the consequences, damn the lofty heritage of Billy Sanger. Ah! Yes. A real artist? But wait...the flower child has breached her natural flow to develop. All of this perfection is flawed. All of Heather's needs are whisked away by the cad and rambler, Lucky. Wealth is "not" an empty viture. Greed "is" an acceptable vice. Avarics "is" a common goal instilled by developed society. And just when do you state all this? What words did you pen down for us -- the reader -- to chew up and spit back...into the face of social normalcy? Well?...You did it from word one -- right through to the end. And -- I thank you.
