Car CD player broken

Car CD player broken, Dealer says it coast $795.00 to replace. Getting a free audio unit after waiting seven weeks for a replacement audio unit to come in, Priceless! Now only if I had good taste in Music, all the waiting and frustration would have been worth it.

squandering my time

Checked Facebook to catch up on my closest 100 or so friends. Checked in on the 1,000 Twitter’s I'm following to see if I could break their Tweeting codes. Deleted E-mails from my friends in Nigeria who want to give me money and friends in China that want me to buy some shit from them. Deleted a dozen phone messages from Tela-Marketers who have the deal of the century just for me. Google searched names of my Ex-Girlfriends to see what they are up to. For the life of me I can't remember how I use to squander my time before this Technology thing. Love it..

Review of Novel Fallen Lotus Petals, Penny Ray, MI


I am stepping away from the genre of book that I usually review. The book I most often choose for myself is the latest and greatest development in autism intervention and treatment. In my past life (before children and before autism), I used to read for pleasure, and would choose books that took me away to another place and time, an escape from my work, grad school, and mundane chores. I miss time spent reading fiction that takes me away from autism for a brief escape, and I have enjoyed every book I've been given to review the past year and a half.

My usual review books and personal reading choices are marketed to either educators, parents, or both (and most often about autism), or novels of fiction written for a Christian audience. Fallen Lotus Petals is a novel for adults written for a general audience. This one's different in another way: I know the author. We worked for the same big-red-flash company when my husband and I lived in the Los Angeles area in the '90's. I recently discovered Jordon Papanier on facebook via another co-worker and am delighted to read that he's written and published a book (and did the artwork for the book cover, too) - impressive!

Fallen Lotus Petals, by Jordon Papanier, is a novel of crime and suspense, about FBI agent Tom Larson's personal and professional life, as he encounters drug and human trafficking, murder, domestic abuse, a cross country move, and the discovery of a new type of gun, made from plastic that isn't detected on scans coming into or leaving the country.

When I pick up a novel that I can't get into right away, I have a difficult time finishing it. If the plot and characters in the first chapter or two don't pull me in, I put the book down and don't pick it up again.

When I picked up "Fallen Lotus Petals", I read eight or nine chapters without stopping. Papanier hooked me from the beginning; I went to New York with FBI Agent Tom Larson, and then to Los Angeles with him. The storyline is engaging; Papanier's vivid descriptions take me to some places I've not been before, and some I have, and I can see them all in my mind. (I hadn't thought about Tony's Restaurant in years - what a fun memory. And I could see in my mind the spot where Tom was involved in a car accident. I haven't been to either place in years.)

In "Fallen Lotus Petals", Papanier writes about real-life events that members of our law enforcement encounter every day, including mental illness and murder, and including abuse of one human being by another. Papanier's main character, FBI Agent Tom Larson has a soft heart and a solid sense of right and wrong when it comes to tracking down criminals. Larson is is one of the good guys, protective of the weak, aggressive with the bad guys, a righter of wrongs, a man who is willing to risk his career and break the rules in a creative way in order to give girls imprisoned in human trafficking a chance to return home and start over. (That part of the story had me thinking about a ministry from one of our church organizations that's aim is to fight human trafficking.)

The book was an excellent escape for me.
(I wish I were on the beach reading it, though.)
I enjoyed the story.
Jordon's a fantastic writer. Penny R. Mi.

FBI agent Tom Larson



FBI agent Tom Larson is no stranger to sexual abuse and young girl exploitations. When he is assigned to investigate a lost container, he soon finds himself engulfed in crimes involving the sex-slave trafficking of underage Asian girls. Faced with this case—one too reminiscent of a former situation of violence that included his own sister—as well as working to uncover the source of a dangerous new designer drug and a plastic gun that can be transported without detection, Larson’s hands are more than full. In Fallen Lotus Petals, the fast-paced novel by Jordon Papanier, readers are quickly engaged. Will the agent save these exploited young girls? Will his current love interest retain its intensity and survive the pressures placed on one man trying to save so many children from a life of crime and destitution? The author has delivered a novel that reads like a poetic journey rich with imagery, dark with sinister possibilities, often humorous, yet always tense with the edginess of reality.

More reviews for book Fallen Lotus Petals

Fallen Lotus Petal, By Jordan Papanier is a FBI thriller that will have you turning pages faster then you can read. It deals will very complex modern issues that face law enforcement with drugs, smuggling and prostitution. His main character FBI agent Tom Larson is a guy that you hope really exists in today's world. Papanier is very descriptive of his scenes and you can really get the feeling of each place he takes you. I hope that this author continues to give us more of Agent Tom Larson.
I would recommend this book to all FBI/Law enforcement book lovers. S. Wells, CA.
