Little Loretta was fascinated by the field of Monarch butterflies only to be sad when they all left. To her excitement, she was able to see a brand new caterpillar grow in front of her very own eyes. What a fun book to help teach children about the lifecycle of the Monarch butterflies. I also learned more about their migration habits from the foot notes in the back. The kid in me wants to find a caterpillar egg and watch it grow into a full butterfly!

Mission 3047, introduces an incredibly competent female protagonist in June, who also occasionally goes by Chloe Manginaro. Her fast-paced story does not disappoint. Replete with top-secret missions, real estate transactions, musical arias, cultural sensitivity, brainwave research, PTSD, and engaging encounters with extra-terrestrials. June joyfully exudes undying love and support for her two teen-aged daughters Livy & Cora, incapacitated husband Joe, home health care aide Barb, and the mysterious confidante Sarge.
In this day and age with UFOs and UAPs being seen by military personnel and civilians alike, it seemed only appropriate that I include them in my latest book, “Mission 3047.”
ETs, extraterrestrial beings, have been a part of my life for many years now. I have talked with many and have taken pictures of UFOs with my phone’s camera. You can see three of them on the cover.
I was lucky, I guess, that the soul of a dear friend of mine cared to share her deepest fantasies with me and gave me permission to write them as I saw fit. It was a nice fit since I love to write soul’s stories. All of my books include the story of at least one soul. My lifetime work has been to help souls heal and arrive at the destination here that most fit them and their particular gifts thus helping their human hosts heal as well.
I hope you have enjoyed my books and have shared them with your friends.

Wow was my first impression of Book 2. I read book 1 and loved it so much. I didn’t think this series could get any better but it did. The Veil of Corruption is an amazing Young Adult fantasy book. It was a very fast paced and action packed book. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Lyall Review by Melissa Fink
I love books about Loretta! I always learn something very cool. Loretta’s Caterpillar was no exception. The way the Lois writes each step of a butterfly’s Metamorphosis, but makes it fun and easy to understand was just great! Another thing I really enjoyed way the excitement she gave Loretta about her caterpillars life! I might say this book was my favorite Loretta book so far. If you haven’t read the others you definitely should!
So many authors give you so much great information in this book. If you are a budding author or just someone who likes to know how things work this book is definitely for you. Some of these authors make rules and others feel like breaking rules already set in the world of authorship. I thoroughly enjoyed reading brief examples of what some of the brightest minds do to keep writing.

I always love this author’s stories. They always entertain the children and they also give you (as a parent or teacher) a way to impart real knowledge to those children. In this story we learned all about the lifecycle of a caterpillar. We are also taught how to acknowledge the difference between male/female butterflies. Last but certainly not least is all the wonderful information about migration of monarch butterflies, complete with maps. Not to mention the illustrations are always beautiful! You won’t regret buying these wonderful books for your children.
Loved this book! I read this in one day, I was so hooked and invested in the story and the angst was real! My heart was hurting so much and I just wanted to shake Dean so much! There were times where Dean and Rae really irked me, I felt like at some points Rae was too pushy and then at other points Dean was too distrustful and because of that he acted like a total tool. I know Rae was doing all she did for his own good, but it felt rushed since they had literally only known each other for a minute. Dean’s employees, well actually only Gayle, she really got on my nerves. I hate how people kept getting into their business, he is a grown man and can make his own decisions you do not need to interfere unless he asks. I guess he was just insecure with who Rae’s best friend is and how his previous relationship turned out so I’ll give him that, but man, this was one of those books where you wanted to scream at the characters to just sit down and talk and listen to each other. Really excellently written book.

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. The book is long, it seems to me it could have been shorter and still give the same impact, but I am here to tell you, don’t let that stop you from reading this book, because it was fantastic. In the beginning I asked myself why I decided to take this on and by the end I felt like my heart was ripped out, the story was over and I was wishing it wouldn’t have. My emotions were up and down and there were times that I felt I had a grasp on who was killing the members of Red’s gang. By the end I was surprised at who the killer turns out to be, I didn’t see it coming, and my heart broke with the relationships and how they turn out. Simon seems like a good guy, I think his obsession with being in a gang and being notorious quickly became something he dreaded once he joined up with Red’s gang. But by the time he realizes he wants out, he has formed bonds and friendships he can’t imagine letting go. At first I hated Monty and by the end he was one of my favorite characters. Ford and Red quickly went down on my list, Ford seemed a little unhinged to me and Red seemed to be slowly going crazy with the murders happening. The way the romance is described is sweet and not detailed at all, the murderer and the way he murders is very inventive and fits in so nicely. I ended up really loving this book, I didn’t think I would because I am not really into western style reads. I look forward to more from this author.

D.M. Earl is a new to me author, and I will be trying a few more books to see if I really like the writing style. I didn’t read the synopsis for this book, so going into I thought this would just be another MC book, and then it turned out to be a paranormal MC book. I did not like the cliffhanger at the end, I like the books I read to give me all the answers, I don’t want to wait for the next book. So I will be getting book 2 to find out what happens next.
