 Healthy Hair Rehab

Jacqueline Tarrant

Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN:9781432784065

I have to say when I first received this book to review I wondered how anyone could write so much about hair, but I was very pleased at what I found. The author, Jacqueline Tarrant, will open your eyes to the whys and how’s of hair management. This wonderful author knows her hair and has many years of training behind her, so you can be assured that what you are reading is from someone who knows.

There are many topics in this book. Here are a few that I found fascinating: Can Prescription Drugs Cause Hair Loss?; The Link Between Your Health and Your Hair; and When Should You See A Doctor. She gets right to the root of these problems and helps with solutions. Ms. Tarrant explains so many areas concerning our hair, from thinning, graying, frizzy, to types of hair and what you should eat to help your body and your hair. I could go on and on about the information that is packed in this read, but that’s for you to find out.

Let me say this, every woman, and man for that matter, should have this book in their home. The information inside will shed so much light on questions we all have asked but never knew the answers to. This is an outstanding read and one I am proud to highly recommend. Well done, Ms. Tarrant!

The Job

Cramer Louis Jackson

Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN:9781432784584

Joe’s search for employment has turned into a frustrating full time job as he checks want ads, sends out resumes and shows up for announced vacancies, only to return to his walk up dumpy small apartment unemployed with his self-esteem dropping. After his latest humiliation, he opens the mail, which adds to his debasement with overdue bills.

However, the last letter is from a firm he never heard of, who offers him an interview. Instructions were sent to him by e-mail as this company provides no address or phone number. He goes on line, thankful he did not hock his computer, to obtain directions. Joe arrives for the interview and learns that if he takes the job, Joe Jamieson will no longer exist as he will have a new identity and compensation is one million dollars annually. He agrees to become Zann General Morgan. His position and new identity ties back to 1947 Roswell, and he soon finds another perk when he rescues the other selectee Layone from some nasty folks who have other plans for the pair.

There is plenty of action in this thought provoking science fiction romantic novella. The story line starts with a depressed everyman struggling to pay his bills and keep a dilapidated ceiling over his head before the plot moves into an exciting thriller with its Life Energy connection to Roswell. Encouraging people to take a radically fresh look at their options, the book reminds me of my husband’s reengineering teaching and mentoring position in which he destroyed a zillion paper cups claiming they were not half full or half empty; if you slice off the top, the cup is filled.

The Job is a quick engaging thriller.
