Reviews

What It’s Like to Be Me by Elizabeth Ann O’Handley has received a five-star review from Reader Views! 🌟

This beautifully written children’s book follows a young girl on a journey of self-discovery as she turns to nature, the trees, clouds, and stars, to understand who she truly is. Through lyrical rhymes and vivid imagery, the story reminds readers that self-worth and identity come from within.

Elizabeth Ann O’Handley presents this topic in a simplistic and childlike manner, gently introducing young readers to a subject that is sure to be addressed and revisited many times throughout their growing years. The text is comprehensible to a variety of readers’ skill levels and, as mentioned, the subject matter and main character are universally relevant, timeless, and personalized. 

-Reader Views Book Review

Reader Views praises The Other Mozart: ‘The Magic Flute’ – An Opera to Die For! by Martin Jarvis for its captivating blend of history, mystery, and music.

The novel shines a light on Maria Anna “Nannerl” Mozart, the talented yet forgotten sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Through rich storytelling and clever twists, Jarvis explores the overlooked genius behind the Mozart legacy, offering readers a fresh and thought-provoking take on one of history’s greatest musical families.

Another new element Jarvis explores is Mozart’s initiation into the Freemasons and possibly two other secret societies, which might have been a factor in his death.  Fans of artistic historical fiction similar to Susan Vreeland or Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code will enjoy this work that explores Mozart’s genius while intermingling possible malevolent secret societies.
