My Cool Pets: Guinea Pig - All You Need To Know About Guinea Pigs

My Cool Pets: Guinea Pig - All You Need To Know About Guinea Pigs Review



If you are considering a guinea pig as a pet, it is important that you understand whether or not a guinea pig is the right pet for you. It very well might not be, and this can be dangerous for the guinea pig, as guinea pigs often have a difficult time finding homes.

The first objective is to make absolutely sure that you are not ‘impulse shopping’ when you buy your guinea pig. You should never buy a guinea pig without doing the proper research, and really discovering whether or not this type of pet will work well for you and your family.

Guinea pigs seldom belong to one member of the family. They belong to everybody, and no one person should be solely responsible for their care. If you are purchasing the pet for a child, don’t use these wonderful creatures as ‘learning tools.’ Children do become bored with their pets, and cannot be expected to continue caring for it. Therefore, everyone in the family must be willing to take responsibility.

7. Immortality (Countdown to the End of the World)

7. Immortality (Countdown to the End of the World) Review



This is an adventure about love...unconquerable, in spite of man's attempt to dominate, defeat, and deny its existence. Love always finds a way out of the coldest heart, out of the blackest soul, out of the driest mind, and out of the blindest alley. Love always escapes death to return and start over, again and again.

Veronica Stillman lives in a not too faraway future where people have a social status based on beauty and wealth that allows them to mingle exclusively within their own circle of society. It is a future where the fortunate people have a choice to extend their lives by transplanting their thoughts and memories into androids. As Veronica becomes entangled with a seductive stranger, she ends up in a race to save her life before she becomes a victim of the growing political android movement.

“We must not give these people who are opposed to us, to the prosperity of humanity, an opportunity to group together and influence public opinion. We cannot permit people who are unable to see past their prejudices to divide us. Ignorance cannot rule and triumph simply because we are comfortable with what we know. We must learn to change. We must learn to accept this change when this change is for the betterment of humanity even if it is at our own personal expense. Relationships between androids and organics are part of this change. For every failed union, there is a negative perception that is created among the populace. We cannot give these militants any reason to further their goals. I think you understand the gravity of the situation, Veronica?”

Countdown to the End of the World (Part I)

Countdown to the End of the World (Part I) Review



10, 9, 8, 7, 6...Countdown to the End of the World, Part I, introduces the first five books of the series that recounts the final fate of humanity.

10. Area 51
9. The Great Organizer
8. Oblivion
7. Immortality
6. The Loneliest Man on Earth

Here is an abbreviated excerpt from the review of 10. Area 51 from Readers Favorite by Lori M:

"After reading this book, I'm now going to be looking around me all the time to see whether aliens exist among us! What a fun read! Poor Bob, scheduled to lead a history-making mission to Mars, suddenly finds out that there's more going on than meets the eye. Well-written, this book was a light, easy-to-read piece of fiction. At least I hope it was fiction. The author was able to create likeable characters and provide just enough about each of their personalities and backgrounds to set the tone but not too much as to just be racking up the word count. I actually visited Roswell, NM, a few years back to check out the alien files and investigate more about Area 51, Hangar 13, and other urban legends. This book would entertain anyone from teenagers to adults who want to explore the as-yet unanswered questions about whether or not we're alone as the only living beings in the universe. I give this book four green thumbs up."

Author's Note: Each of these books is also available separately at Amazon.
