who have made the past, present and future gift books for soldiers
possible with your purchase any of our books or ebooks.
"I just read Matrix Filia's and Claudette Walker's
masterpiece, DECOMPRESSION MAP. It was written in such a style that I
felt I was involved directly in the story. It was an emotionally
gripping experience as I actually c
an relate to it. This is a MUST-READ and everyone should seize the opportunity to learn from and appreciate your superb book.Thank you very much for your great gift to our brave soldiers and our society!" Sergio Lebid, NanoSpireInc.

Star Review - "My father was an immigrant who loved this country and
raised the American flag every day. He had nightmares about World War
II until the day he died ... that day was 9/11 and the last thing he
saw were the twin towers going down. PTSD? Who knows? But I wish I had
this book when he used to wake up screaming. God bless these two
authors for their obvious labor of love. The Decompression Map is
brilliant. I hope the Department of Defense is paying attention. Now we
won't have to feel so helpless when all we can think of to say is
"Welcome Home." Amazon Review
5 Star Review - "This is a
must read for anybody coming home from combat duty and their family!
This book can really help Veteran's transition back into Civilian Life
after returning home so quickly after combat. Used as an Aid for family
and friends of soldiers returning home. It gives you good clues on
making the returning soldiers comfortable. Nice Job Ladies! ~ Amazon
Review
"Every soldier returning from a war zone needs time to decompress and a way to readapt to civilian life. That has been true for at least a century. Most recently, many of the men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are having a hard time adjusting to life at home."
~ L.Cpl. Garner, Eric S., USMC
“Providing social safety nets and readjustment assistance to returning vets is a win-win outcome for all of us.”

My 5-Star Review of "To Love The Rose" (Is Washington Stoned?)
Danielle Steel meets Tom Clancy
...
is how I describe this book to my friends who have not read it. To my
enormous delight, I recently discovered Claudette Walker, now hot on
the block of international political thrillers. Thank God "To Love The
Rose" has a sequel, since I grew extremely attached to her characters,
all of which were developed exquisitely. Claudette Walker's excellent
sense of place fittingly took me back to some of my old haunts ... San
Francisco, Washington D.C,, Florida, and New York City. Her depiction of
the U.S. political climate, as well as the U.S. role on the world
stage is spot on. "To Love The Rose" provides an insider's view of
power, high finance, government and the people who live in these
worlds. I am now reading Walker's second book, "C Street" with even
greater amazement at her knowledge of global intrigue and high-level
maneuvers. I have always believed that to pursue truth one must read
fiction and there is much truth in this extraordinary author's romantic
thriller.

C Street ~ by Claudette Walker
Thank
you to all who have taken the time to say a few kind works, write a
review, liked or shared a post and just made me feel very good. You
inspire me. I know that I have not been able to capture all of your kind
words, but I am eternally grateful.
"C Street" is one of
my favorite books EVER!! I studied investigative journalism and learned
that's not easy to get to the heart of the matter. And even harder to
have the courage to speak the truth. You have done all of the both ...
and put "the way the world works" in the context of a powerful,
glamorous, face-paced thriller. KUDOS! !Thank you, Pj Schott
"That hologram idea was genius!" Thank you, Francine Haertel.
"Your books are Masterpieces!" Sergio Lebid, NanoSpire Project
"Tape No. 35 and an appearance via hologram!" Thank you, Pj Schott.
Chilling,
exhaustively researched, and slyly humorous, Claudette Walker's "C
Street" is a well-painted and entertaining spy service portrait that
strikes all too close to the realities of corrupt governance in
America.
The corrupt government agents are painted real
as the world and with twice the size ego, the settings are vivid and
well-researched, and the heroine is a sympathetic, tragic, intensely
human figure. A recommended read!
As an essay into the
mentalities that control America, it is nothing less than a stunning
psychological indictment of the madness that can happen when the most
powerful forces in America go corrupt.
Props to Ms. Walker on a wonderful novel! --F.A. Seidman, entrepreneur and grandson of former FDIC Chairman Bill Seidman

The Casey Anthony Murder Trial
A BRILLIANT AUTHOR SHEDS A BRIGHT BEAM
INTO THE CENTER OF THIS TRIAL
When
asked to write the postscript for this book, I knew it was an
important story. Reading it makes me realize how right I was about the
importance of this book. I also became aware of how much I did not
know about the horrific death of this child and the judicial process
that was to try her mother for the death. I walked away from reading
this book with an understanding of how unpredictable our justice/jury
system can be. From the media and shows like CSI, juries currently
expect a great deal of forensic evidence such as DNA, fiber, strands
of hair etc. However, such is rarely the case in a homicide.
Furthermore, young missing children do not garner a great deal of news
coverage, unless the media is focused on that particular child whose
case then develops into a high profile one. It would behoove all of us
to be more sensitive to and become more aware of those whose task it
is to guard our most precious resources, our
children.
~Laura Schultz, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
"Speaking as one who has been there, this book gives a real feel for the action
both inside and outside the courtroom in the trial of a high-profile capital murder case."
~David E. Siar, Esquire
"This
is the type of book you can pick up and read, stop, read, and keep
your interest all the way to the end. This is told by a mother and
daughter. Fantastic... "
A book judging our Justice System with High recommendations! Excellent Read.
"Imagine
the concentration, hard work, and pondering both Mother and Daughter
have written about this well-known murder trial. The pondering over
testimony, even choosing the Jurors - made me want more and more.
Although this case in some minds has ended, it will never end in a
mother or daughter's mind. The more you read the deeper you fall into
the story you thought you knew. It isn't like hearing it while you are
trying to tell your children to stop fighting, cooking dinner, or half
listening while on a phone call - this book takes you into the head of
a mother who had no care where her daughter was for thirty one days.
It brings you into the FBI searching for evidence on her computer, how
to kill someone, with both chemicals and instruments. It points out
the lies, and the joy Casey was having with her boyfriend and
imaginary friends. At times I was baffled by the Justice in our
country when so much was up front - and the Jury in my eyes, one
sided. It makes you wonder how any mother can be dancing up a storm
while lying to her parents about the where abouts of her daughter and
their only granddaughter. It makes you want to change the system, open
the eyes of those who were chosen to judge the murder case of Casey
Anthony. There has never been a better concept in my view of any other
real life murder trial then that of Claudette Walker and her daughter
Matrix Filia. With a sixth sense alone, and the insight of being a
mother and grandmother my intuition has made its way to a conclusion.
Now, don't let this outstanding, well written, and widely known case
slip through your fingers - I know once you start reading, getting
into the nitty gritty of the life of Casey Anthony, you too won't be
able to place the book down. Congratulations on a book which should be
read by families all across this land of ours. You never trust anyone
- even your own daughter when a mother believes she is lying. Read it
today."
~Nancy Duci Denofio
"Claudette, my
neighbor finished the Casey Anthony book and just could not stop
talking about it. She loved that the trial was broken down so the lay
person could understand what was going on. Anyway, her eyes usually
hurt when she reads but with the Kindle I was able to make the font
bigger so she for her she finished the book in record time. She just
couldn't put it down." In book and eBook.... ~ Linda Leipziger

The e-Book was excellent Claudette nice job.
~Paul Cadogan
This
one intriguing book. I'm almost done reading it. Can't put it down
once I start reading it. I might have been the only hold out. Really,
hard to know once you hear the perspective of the Judge, the
Prosecution and the sleazy Defense. Anyway, am almost finished, but
Claudette you and your daughter did a fantastic job breaking things
down for the lay people. Reading on, good night.
It
was brilliant looking at this trial through the eyes of two
individuals who were just describing the and explaining everything that
was happening in the courtroom, with the Defense, Prosecutor and the
Judge. Thanks for a very good and interesting read.
