Elizabeth is an extraordinarily mature fifteen year old girl.  Of course, her life circumstances have caused her to grow up faster than most kids her age.  An only child, her father passed away a few short weeks after her grandmother's death.  So when her grandfather, bereaving and heartbroken, escaped reality to travel the world, she and her mother were left to pick up the pieces of their lives on their own.  Now, eight years later, Elizabeth's grandfather has returned home with a mysterious typewriter which he believes is somehow connected to his family, and in particular, to Elizabeth.

Vann displays rare talent as a story-teller in this thrilling book which will leave readers anxiously awaiting the sequel to this delightfully engaging read.

Motive Games by LD Taylor earns the CLC Seal of Approval


Motive Games by LD Taylor is a fast-paced, high-tech murder mystery.  When Phil Roland's father passes away, he sets out to prove his death wasn't an accident.  Phil garners a job at his dad's company and with the help of his best friend Oliver and his father's detective friend, he channels his grief into finding out how and why his father really died.

Motive Games is an intriguing read that is sure to be a big hit with gamers, but is still a fascinating and enjoyable read for those with no real understanding of the gaming world.  Author LD Taylor harmoniously blends the world of high-tech with the despair of a young man coming to terms with the untimely loss of his father.  The book includes a glossary for those readers who may be at a loss where gaming jargon is concerned.

Motive Games is a Literary Classics Seal of Approval Recipient.
