Reviews by Popular Authors
Like so many mysteries, Cle Curbo's new novel, For the Love of Maggie O'Die, opens with a body, but lest you get too comfortable, nothing is at all what it seems. From the first page, Curbo crafts a mystery, sci-fi adventure that takes the readers on a rollercoaster ride, putting them in the driver's seat, while trying to figure out what exactly is happening. The book grabs you and makes you want to keep reading with crisp prose and engaging dialogue.Curbo hooks his readers by dishing out the clues with a deft and talented hand, offering enough breadcrumbs to keep his audience reading until the crack of dawn. - M.L. Hamilton, Author of the Peyton Brooks Mysteries.
In For the Love of Maggie O'Die, mysteries nest inside puzzles jigsawed with secrets. Do characters' names conceal a hint? Who's dead or alive? Who's young and who's old? Plot twists face readers from start to astounding finale. It's like a locked room mystery, exploded out into the open road. - June Gillam, Author of Hillary Broome Crime Fiction.

Described by the author, L. Paul Turner
Our current living in space is without a gravity-feel spaceship. Such lack hampers efforts to make permanent self-sustaining habitation in orbit. I feel the great unspoken desire of billions of people all over the world
is to see us take our place in the cosmos. I believe we must build and sustain economic prosperity in space, in order to achieve success, wealth, and the thriving community life we ardently seek every day.
We can succeed in space where governments have failed. I wrote the book to show us the way.
