Murder in Palm Beach by Bob Brink Spotlight



The Book
The book is a mystery based on a sensational murder that happened in 1976 in the posh town. A prominent Palm Beach man is shotgunned to death through a window of his home, and a hoodlum/karate expert is convicted of the crime. While he is in prison awaiting many appeals for a new trial, his loving wife contracts a usually fatal disease. In the guise of fiction, the book contains shocking new information about the murderer and the man of great national importance behind it. This information, which I discovered during my long career as a newspaper and magazine writer and editor, never has been made public.

The Author
Bob (Robert) Brink was born in Muskegon, Mich., and relocated with his parents at age 6 to their home state of Iowa, growing up in and around Des Moines and moving to a small farm at age 14. After a torturous coming-of-age, he embarked on a newspaper career that took him to Joliet, Ill., Chicago, Milwaukee, Tampa and West Palm Beach, in which vicinity he has lived for a number of years. He garnered several writing awards, and the magazine where he was copy chief won an award for Best Written Magazine in Florida. In early middle age, Brink learned to play clarinet and tenor saxophone and performed many years in a symphonic winds band while also doing a few big band gigs. He learned ballroom dancing and is a health enthusiast, blogging on alternative health care along with grammar and sociopolitics. While doing freelance writing and editing, he became an author, ghost-writing a book and completing two novels. MURDER IN PALM BEACH: THE HOMICIDE THAT NEVER DIED, published by Pegasus Books, was released Dec. 9. He is at work on another mystery novel.

Career Highlights

OUT OF THE CORNFIELDS . . .

If Billy Joel had grown up in Iowa instead of the Bronx, it’s doubtful he’d have composed Iowa State of Mind. Somehow, undulating cornfields and somnolent little towns don’t inspire in the same way that majestic skyscrapers and frenetic lifestyles gave rise to New York State of Mind. That fast-paced way of living was what lured Bob Brink away from Iowa and into journalism, which would take him to major cities. But please, dear reader, do not think he is disparaging Iowa, which ranks among the highest in the nation in literacy rate. (That happened after his departure, which he prefers to think was unrelated.)

INTO THE BIG CITY . . .

His first newspaper job was at The Herald-News in Joliet, Ill., where he won an award from the Northern Illinois Editor’s and Publisher’s Association for an investigation of fire hazards in seedy hotels. It was a short hop to Chicago, where he cavorted weekends before joining The Associated Press, covering airplane and train disasters, and nearly getting himself killed in reporting on race riots.

MURDER IN MILWAUKEE . . .

Though in love with Chicago, Brink left for the promise of greater writing opportunity with the Milwaukee Journal (now Journal Sentinel). He’d done a lot of police reporting in Joliet, and was a full-time police reporter in Milwaukee for more than a year, burnishing his résumé  with a story about a murder that resulted in a coroner’s inquest.

TROPICAL TAMPA . . .

Hearkening the call of the mild – weather, that is – he departed the lackluster, frigid Milwaukee for tropical Florida and the Tampa Tribune, where his reporting on appliance dealers forced them to abandon their shady sales tactics.

WINDING UP IN WEST PALM BEACH . . .

He was fond of Tampa and the paper, but after excelling in a one-night substitution for the education reporter, editors insisted he fill that slot permanently. Bidding farewell to its rich Hispanic traditions, Brink settled in for a nearly 15-year stint at the Palm Beach Post in West Palm Beach. He spent most of that time writing fascinating features, and covering enriching culture and entertainment, while exposing an embezzler at a local theater.

MAGAZINE MILIEU . . .

Leaving journalism for a period, he tried his hand at a business venture, but realized that wasn’t his forte and returned to the world of words with Palm Beach Media Group. For its flagship magazine, Palm Beach Illustrated (PBI), he won an award from the Florida Magazine Association for a story on astronaut Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin and the future of space travel, and penned a potpourri of celebrity profiles, including one on Winston Churchill’s grandson. As copy chief for the group, he edited Naples Illustrated in its first year and won for PBI the Best Written Magazine award from the state association. He also won an award from the American Heart Association for a story on the benefits of walking.

NOUVEAU NOVELIST . . .

As a freelance writer and editor, Brink now is authoring books, with the roman à clef Murder in Palm Beach: The Homicide That Never Died, which has been published by PegasusBooks.net. Bob is presently writing his next novel.

Excerpt

She told me of her mother then.  Greta.  She took in washing. And brought men home. And my wife, a slight girl scrubbing on the board.  That’s what I felt in her hands.  So sweetly shaped, so brined to the work.  A lady almost, but not in her marrow.  There, the laundry girl, the dirty laundry girl.  And the men.  Her learning to stand, given a knife by the neighbor woman. “Protect yourself,” the woman said. “No one else will.” And so she did, too young, too scared, too soon.   Like Johnny.  He got took to the dark, and it stabbed the tender in him and the dark came in. I sat up and held her to me, stroking her hair while she told me.  I felt so many things with her, the fear, yes, the joy, yes.  The old wounds, yes.  The new wonder of it, yes.  The mother, and back more.  The girl, yes.  The little-broken one, yes.  No man to ever rise up, and if he did, she met him with just herself and her brave eyes.   “Lass,” I said, but only once.  I did not wish to let the pump run dry, for her words gifted me an understanding I had lacked. I would be the pa to her sometimes.  I knew that now.  She wouldn’t want it much, but sometimes she would, almost like Johnny, me going back in her, me angry for her, saying what she knew and didn’t get a chance to rail about.  Letting her know, I was here now.  I was here. It was a part of it for us.  There was this little one in there still holding that knife, sometimes at me, yes that’s what I saw.  That knife she used and left in a man who tried to take her in an alley. That’s when she met him—her husband. She went in his store after the attack. He was kind. But God…he was weak.  But that’s how he got in.  He wiped her face, but he was no hero.  She made him feel, and then he couldn’t find it in himself to love her.  She was something he hadn’t seen…too alive…too much of everything. “I am not him,” I told her, and oh I was not.  The dark had its hands around my throat time and time, but it did not finish me.  I was just a man, but I stood tall.  Like it or don’t, I did the hard thing. “I am Tom Tanner, your man,” I said, “the good of him, the ugly, too.  But I am not Richard Varn.  I have my own sins, but I do not carry the sins of another.  Nor will I,” I said, not sure what I meant by this speech, but I said it with force.

My Wounded Soldier - Book 1: Fight For Glory by Diane Munier
Publication Date: July 4, 2015,
Genre: Historical Western Romance

Synopsis

Wounded Soldier, Book One: Fight for Glory, is my newest offering on Amazon. This is the saga of Tom Tanner and his reluctant love for Addie Varner. After he mustered out of the Twenty-Seventh, Tom never expected to follow the boys home to Illinois. Having failed to protect his older brother Garrett, Tom planned to take his wounds out west where a man could get lost under the endless sky. But his father prevailed on him to come home and comfort his grieving mother. Tom had nearly filled his obligation when the neighbor boy came running and calling his name as he worked in the field. Johnny was the boy that looked like his mother, Mrs. Varn. Tom had seen the woman at meeting. She rattled him some for he’d not had a woman, just that one time and he’d been liquored up and taking a dare and were he to have one, she was not hardship to look at. But Johnny was calling for him. Tom knew the sounds of war. The country was rife with veterans, some looking for trouble instead of home. What Tom finds at the Varner’s farm offers him a new kind of battle, a new kind of glory trail. I have been writing this story for fifteen years. In its various forms, it has garnered attention in literary contests and with some writerly folks. But stuck in ‘bridesmaid,’ mode it has never really walked the aisle. Until now. I hope you give it a spin and maybe fall in love.

An urban kid, I spent much of my youth running in various neighborhood establishments. There I met many colorful characters, and I learned to love them and be fascinated by them. My love of story comes from them. I learned to sit on a bar stool or a kitchen chair or in a pew and hear a story. Hear the voices telling a story. See the mouths move and the hands clutching glasses or cigarettes. See and hear the laughter. There is no greater honor than to hear someone's story. If you feel that way about the tales, I tell...what more could I ask.

Hilary Rhodes' The Lion and the Rose & The Outlander King Book Blast!

03_Book One_William Rising

The Lion and the Rose (Book One: William Rising)

Publication Date: June 18, 2014
eBook; 338 Pages |
ASIN: B00L4K5GKE
 Genre: Historical Fiction
  Add to GR Button    

 The Lion and the Rose, Part One: William Rising is the first book in an epic historical saga from debut author Hilary Rhodes. Extensively researched and compellingly told, it introduces us to the passionate drama and violent upheaval of eleventh-century Europe. The world as we know it, and the English language, would have been vastly different were it not for the driving ambition of one man: William the Conqueror. But conquerors are made, not born, and William was made in fire and blood. How does a boy become a man, surviving a tumultuous and terrifying childhood? And how does that man become a legend? William Rising plunges us into this world of danger and betrayal, of choosing sides and dying for absolutes. It follows the creation of a conqueror, as he grows up abandoned, learns to fight at an early age for anything he hopes to keep, and is sculpted into a remorseless, far-sighted, ruthlessly efficient soldier and statesman. From his origins as an orphaned, penniless bastard boy, to his personal and political trials by fire, to the climactic battle with his rebellious barons where he finally comes of age, the young duke increasingly establishes himself as a force to be reckoned with. But as the shadowy intrigues of English politics, and the all-consuming question of an heir for a childless king, begin to draw him into their web, it may just be that William of Normandy has a destiny far greater than even he has ever dreamed.

  Add to GR Button    

 The Lion and the Rose: William Rising introduced us to the young William, Duke of Normandy, and his treacherous and terrible childhood, beset by battles, betrayals, and heartbreak, as he fought his own barons to survive and claim his birthright. The Gathering Storm plunges us even deeper into the violent upheaval and passionate drama of his unfolding story. Now twenty-two, William has won his most pivotal battle and taken control of his inheritance, but impossible struggles loom as he fights to put Normandy back together -- and very few of his enemies are actually defeated. Furthermore, across the Channel, the question of an heir for a childless king begins to loom large, and the ruthless and scheming Godwin, Earl of Wessex, will stop at nothing to claim it for his family. Written with the same meticulous historical research and flair by debut author Hilary Rhodes, The Gathering Storm raises the stakes to the utmost level, and a crown and a kingdom hang in the balance. In these pages, lords rise and fall, England and Normandy are drawn into a perilous collision course, bishops, barons, dukes, queens, and earls play a dangerous game of power and glory, and those who are not strong enough are trampled underfoot. The crows circle and the banners are raised, and the last Saxon king and the greatest Norman duke are destined to face each other in a battle that will change the course of history.

eBook; 476 Pages | ASIN: B00XM9QJ1K Genre: Historical Fiction

  Add to GR Button    

 The story of The Lion and the Rose and the Norman Conquest continues in this spellbinding new historical fiction series from author Hilary Rhodes, pulling back the curtain on the lives of two remarkable women connected across centuries: Aislinn, a seventeen-year-old English girl caught up in the advancing army of the “outlander king,” the man who will become known to history as William the Conqueror. Thrust into the center of the new Norman court and a dizzying web of political intrigue and plotting princes, she must choose her alliances carefully in a game of thrones where the stakes are unimaginably high. Embroiled in rebellions and betrayals, Aislinn learns the price of loyalty, struggles to find her home, and save those she loves – and, perhaps, her own soul as well. Almost nine hundred years later in 1987, Selma Murray, an American graduate student at Oxford University, is researching the mysterious “Aethelinga” manuscript, as Aislinn’s chronicle has come to be known. Trying to work out the riddles of someone else’s past is a way for Selma to dodge her own troubling ghosts – yet the two are becoming inextricably intertwined. She must face her own demons, answer Aislinn’s questions, and find forgiveness – for herself and others – in this epically scaled but intimately examined, extensively researched look at the creation of history, the universality of humanity, and the many faces it has worn no matter the century: loss, grief, guilt, redemption, and love.

About Incurable 
Her menacing past was loose and in close pursuit. The fear of the thing lived in her eyes, and trepidation sounded with each step her heels made as she fled…
 Los Angeles 1956—Marilyn Palmer is a beauty with a deep dark secret. After a threatening note from a blackmailer arrives she hires a private eye to help keep her unsavory past under wraps.
Incurable is a story wrought with impetuous and regrettable decisions made by a desperate young woman. Barely eighteen years old, and a gifted seamstress, she makes the ill-fated decision to run away from her Detroit home with a wily friend. Bound for Hollywood, and seeking stardom, the girls set out on an incredible journey.
 This splendidly imagined debut explores the tumultuous life and times of a woman who suffered the ultimate betrayal as a child during the Great Depression. A story of survival set against the backdrop of early Hollywood, misery on Hotel Street in Honolulu before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and heartbreak in Los Angeles during WWII, Incurable delivers an emotional intensity rarely found.

Her eyes were green and definitely her best feature. He had to admit those gorgeous emerald pools held a huge claim to fame, because they were in competition with flawless skin, a perfect nose, and full lips, all framed with long silky auburn hair begging to be touched. Never had he laid eyes on such a lovely head so up close and personal. Reg did his best not to let his hungry eyes travel south. He recognized what was happening. He felt like a breathing cliché, a private eye in a seedy office facing a beautiful dame in need of his know-how.

My Review

I ordered and received the Asana Eyelash Growth Serum 7ml at no cost to me and have been using it nightly for almost three weeks. I am 62 and years of wearing mascara and losing eyelashes from that, now that I am older my eyelashes are very sparse. 

I wanted to give this product a try to see if it would help grow in my lashes better. I did notice a slight improvement in that I don't seem to be losing any more lashes. I think that the true test will be after using the product more. I have not used it on my brows at all as they have enough hair. I will continue to use the product until it is gone, I hope to see more results at that time. Losing eyelashes from makeup and the aging process didn't happen overnight, so growing them back will take some time. Easy to apply and it doesn't burn if you accidently get the serum in your eyes.

My recommendation? I definitely think it is worth a try if you are looking for a serum to help with thinning brows and eyelashes. Plus it is reasonably priced.

The product came within the two day Amazon Prime shipping and packaged appropriately, although the box was a bit big for the product. 
I received this product for review and was not monetarily compensated for review.
