The Password Book Review

The Password Book

By Jason McDonald


The Password Book by [McDonald, Jason]

Passwords and Internet Security Made EASY!



  • UPDATED: September, 2017 - Get ** Up-to-date ** Info on Internet Security & Passwords

  • Includes: A PASSWORD BOOK (write down your passwords) | SCAM & SECURITY EDUCATION (Learn how to avoid being scammed online) | a PASSWORD SYSTEM (Easily create hard-to-crack passwords).



...........................................................................
MY REVIEW

I was interested in reading this book in hopes that it would help me to be more secure with my online activities. I found it to be chock full of useful information. It starts off by identifying the anatomy of a scam which was very useful. If you can identify the five elements, then you will know you are being scammed, and that will put you ahead of the game, or I should say scam. That in itself is worth the price of the book.

There is a full chapter on how to generate strong passwords because that’s how important it is. And notice that passwords is plural. There is plenty of discussion on why you should have different passwords. The author relays how to categorize your accounts into three different tiers to get the best security you can have. Then the rest of the book is broken down into the different accounts you may have, like your computer, email, phone, banking, Facebook, Amazon, and so on, and what to do to make them secure.


I liked the ideas the author gave for generating your passwords, and agree that using that system will work to make your passwords nearly impossible to crack. And I loved the use of the word scamfoolery.

The Real Thing Tour and Giveaway



NEW RELEASE........
Fall in love on the shores of Sugar Lake in the small town of Sweetwater with Willow Dalton and Zane Walker.

This sassy, spirited baker is fine with heat—but is her fake fiancé too hot to handle?

Bakery owner Willow Dalton’s friendship with Zane Walker has always been a bit complicated. Now a scrumptiously hot A-list actor, Zane’s always had a reputation as player. He’s arrogant, and he’s definitely not boyfriend material. Sure, he did Willow a favor by agreeing to take her virginity before college, but is that reason enough to go along with a fake engagement a decade later—even if it comes with a real diamond ring? 

Zane should have known better. Nothing involving Willow has ever been easy. Still, he knows her better than anyone, and becoming America’s hottest new leading man means cleaning up his reputation. An “engagement” to curvy, sass-mouthed Willow is the perfect PR move . . . provided no one gets hurt.

Now Zane and Willow’s little white lie has turned into an irresistible recipe for sweet temptation. And soon no one will be able to tell the difference between their fake engagement or the real thing—including them.

Available to buy from ...

Releasing 5th December
Only For You (Sugar Lake Book 2)
Love only works when your heart is in the right place. Hers could be right next door…

Single mom Bridgette Dalton doesn’t have time to stop and smell the roses—not even in her own flower shop. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t noticed Bodhi Booker. Her ruggedly handsome next-door neighbor would be the perfect candidate for a no-strings fling. Having loved and lost, Bridgette’s not ready to hand over her heart…but she could use a distraction.

Bodhi has one rule: never leave anyone behind. As a special operative, he knows that each new mission is more dangerous than the last. He’s never made a promise of forever to a woman, not even to the beautiful widow who has him tied in knots. And if there were anyone who could tempt him into putting down roots, it would be Bridgette and her adorable son.

But as his next deployment nears, they make a startling discovery. Their passion, meant only for the here and now, might already be blossoming into something more…

Available to pre-order from...


...........................................................................
MY REVIEW

Willow Dalton has been trying for years to get Zane Walker out of her system. He had been her first lover and that was only because she asked him to be. Later, Zane left Sweetwater and became an A-list actor. Now he has returned with an outlandish idea of him and Willow faking an engagement, in order to clean up his public image. Willow reluctantly agrees, but once she is thrown into the limelight, Willow wonders what she has gotten herself into.

I now have a new favorite couple. Willow and Zane were meant to be together. Too bad it took them so long to figure that out. I enjoyed this story so much. How can you not fall in love with a man that remembers every little thing about you? And Willow always wore her heart on her sleeve, even if she thought differently. It’s going to be fun catching up with them in another story.

Stanley, the Seal of Approval Review

Stanley, The Seal Of Approval

By Stan Resnicoff

Stanley, The Seal Of Approval by [Resnicoff, Stan]
He offers great advice, high-fives, mellow companionship and unconditional love. But of course he does. He’s Stanley, The Seal Of Approval®.









...........................................................................
MY REVIEW

Stanley, The Seal of Approval was so short that I read the entire book in a few minutes time. Written in poetry style, I was thoroughly entertained. I thought it was a sweet story, perfect for a bedtime reading, with the length of the book as well as the subject. It was a brilliant idea combining the well-known phrase ‘seal of approval’ with an actual animal seal. The story was uplifting, encouraging, and just plain interesting. Everything about the story had a positive spin to it. I saw friendship, companionship and trust.


I enjoyed the accompanying pictures that went well with each verse. The pictures made it easy to understand and would be great for the type of child that can’t read but enjoys pretend reading out loud to others. The only downside, or negative aspect that I disagree with was the part that showed paying for the purchase of the seal with a credit card. I don’t think children should be exposed to this type of purchase. I felt that it was further instilling that negative aspect into their thoughts and actions, making them feel that buying on credit is a good thing. But that is just my opinion. Except for that fact, I thought the story would be perfect for small children.

A Burning in the Darkness Review

A Burning in The Darkness

By A.P. McGrath

A Burning in The Darkness by [McGrath, A P]
A compelling crime drama and poignant love story about a devoted man who must confront the painful legacy of his war torn childhood when he is wrongfully accused of murder. Michael Kieh's struggle to prove his innocence leads him on a charged journey that pitches the pursuit of justice and the search for love against the instinct for revenge. 

Michael is the chief suspect in a murder at one of the world’s busiest airports where he is a full-time faith representative. A series of brief encounters with a soul mate has eased his loneliness and together they come close to uncovering a past major crime, but ultimately he chooses to protect a young witness who could prove his innocence. When he was a child, Michael witnessed appalling abuses of power, including the killing of a missionary priest who refused to betray young Michael. But there was a first love that he left behind in the brutal confusion of war. When she and Michael cross paths once more, they battle to prove his innocence in a foreign, hostile country. Can they solve the mystery before it it too late?

...........................................................................
MY REVIEW

Father Michael Kieh grew up around violence. As a boy, he witnessed his entire family as they were murdered by his uncle. He escaped and landed at The Sisters of Christ King compound where he met Leonie Urey. Even though they fell in love, Michael felt a higher calling and left to become a priest. Years later while taking confession from an accused serial killer, Father Michael gets some shocking news about his past. When knowledge of the confession is made public, Father Michael becomes a pawn in the political arena. Unable to break the seal of confession, he must find a way to make the accused give a public confession.


Father Michael may have sinned along with everyone else, but he was an upstanding man, doing the best he could considering his circumstances. I know I would have liked him in real life. I got confused a couple of times, remembering that I was reading the past and not the present. That’s why I am not a fan of going back and forth with a story, as this one did. The book ended on a good note so I did get satisfaction in justice rendered. I would definitely recommend this read.
