“Decades later, still great but on different terms.”
Having reread this book for the first time in 20 years, I can confirm that there’s a reason that it’s considered one of the very best American novels. However, my reaction to the story was different than when I first read it in high school. I recall that…Read more
“Shines Brilliantly Like a Just-Discovered Piece of Cameo Jewelry from a Bygone Era”
It’s difficult to give any even-handed critique F. Scott Fitzgerald’s standard-setting Jazz Age novel since it was required reading for most of us in high school. However, if you come back to it as a full-fledged adult, you’ll find that the story still…Read more
“A Monument in Audio Book History”
Scott Fitzgerald, a monumental talent who only occasionally got things working right, made Gatsby great by the extraordinary invention of Nick Carraway. Carraway as narrator provided the exact perfect pitch: more awestruck than he would admit, more…Read more

About this amazing book:
Four teenagers travel back in time to save a life and solve a mystery. Will they be successful? Will they make it back?
OMG begins when Kelly, whose parents died in a car accident, moves from Texas during early summer to live with her Aunt Jane who is an assistant district attorney. Kelly quickly becomes friends with her quirky next door neighbor Scott who has a reputation as the school’s number one geek.
Scott’s best friend is Austin, the hot and popular quarterback. Even though he runs with the cool crowd, he has stayed loyal to Scott. He joins Scott and Kelly as they embark on an adventure after Scott invents a way to travel back in time.
Zoey is on the cheer squad and hangs with the popular kids. She barely even notices that Scott and Kelly exist, but she is very focused on getting Austin’s attention.
Through a twist of technology, they go back in time to help a girl who pleads for their help. They solve the mystery, but are then faced with the dilemma of whether or not to right a wrong or to let history stand. The four end up on the time travel adventure of their lives.So why time travel? Why not leave everything set in today’s world? Wouldn’t that be more logical?
That’s a great question. There are three reasons. First, by taking the characters back in time it sets up the proverbial fish out of water scenario that becomes entertaining in itself.
Second, it becomes a form of a history lesson when you realize that there was a time when luggage didn’t have wheels, cell phones didn’t exist, schools didn’t have armed guards and information flowed so slowly that the slower speed of life could become and ally when trying to save a life.
Third, if the meat of the stories were set in the current day the reader would be too easily tempted to visualize the story and plot from their 21st century glasses instead of say 1966 when OMG took place.
Time travel allowed us to take some of today’s most difficult events in a teen’s life and entertain them with real world intellect and skills and set them on course to solve a mystery and accomplish a worthwhile mission in a time before they were born.You have a bit of paranormal influence in the CUL8R stories. What does that do to help set the stage or move the story along?
A critic could label this series, as Hollywood would say “It’s Back to the Future” meets “90210”. We didn’t want the reason they risked their lives to time travel to 1966 to be so trivial as an accidental time travel event and the second and third act conceived and concerned with avoiding a time travel paradox to save his own future. We wanted to keep the overarching humor of today’s teens dealing with being adults in a time that they only heard of from maybe their grandparents. We used the paranormal influences to make the reason they travel back real, important and worthy of them risking their lives to right the wrong. To make it more believable we involved some of the history and rumors of Thomas Edison who was a winter resident in Fort Myers Florida near where the CUL8R Series takes place.

Sheitan’s Tango By Morris George
#kindleadventure
About the Book:
He works for the Government as a field agent, a spy, and an assassin. His targets are the terrorists that threaten the homeland. He accomplished what very few could have done.
“I read SHEITAN’S TANGO and it was great. I loved it! Really enjoyed reading John X’s adventures in Argentina.
Now I’m just praying that he will get out alive from the Bermuda Triangle. I Hope Morris George is already working on the next book! “

What others are saying
Huge fan of this series…
I am the type of reader who will buy the next book in a series if I’m invested in the characters and story. I absolutely LOVE these characters, and was excited to see that the Ian character is getting more “face-time”! You (the reader) will enjoy the first two books immensely if you haven’t read them yet…before you start these novellas. I am pretty sure Rod & Jefferey will follow these short novellas up pretty quickly…but I will wait patiently in my zen-like enlightenment until the next one. It’s a wonderful series.adventure and enlightenment continue
The adventure and enlightenment continue! Most intriguing — one with all, changing aura colors . . . and a poker lesson, too. More, please!Almost spectacular!
I was thrilled to see the continuation of this series. I love the characters, I love the story- it’s just great reading. There is no loss of continuity from the last book, and the writing is just as strong. My only criticism, which I’m sure was to be expected, is the length. Just as I was once again invested in the storyline, the carpet is pulled out from under me and it’s over. And I suppose that’s the artistic license here- to keep us hanging on for more.. I just hope we don’t have to wait too long for II! But what an intriguing turn this story has taken!
