Stillwaters Runs Deep Book Two: The Lure Ever go out for the evening and not remember what you did? What if there was a bar where spirits can enter your inebriated body and use it until you sober up? Well such a bar exists in Stanley Park, where the city's mayor has been murdered, his family missing, a dangerous witch has been released from her centuries-old imprisonment and an intriguing and extraordinary shaman shows up, only to vanish after leaving cryptic clues. So begins Detective Carol Ainsworth's first case. Frank Talaber, Writer by Soul. A natural storyteller, whose compelling thoughts are freed from the depths of the heart and the subconscious before being poured onto the page. Literature written beyond the realms of genre he is known to grab readers; kicking, screaming, laughing or crying and drag them into his novels. Enter the literary world of Frank Talaber. Praise For The Lure Damn Frank -- this writing is as tactile as a 1955 T-Bird. Very nice descriptions, good dialogue, a thinking man's book but one that can be read entirely for pleasure. Good work. Michael Arkin/Judicial Indiscretion Paranormal fantasy, mystery thriller rolled into one. The Lure is a well-crafted story that builds suspense through flowing narrative, life-like characters, and believable dialogue. If you're a fan of any of the above mentioned genres, or if you're just looking for a page turner to get lost in, The Lure will not disappoint. Cris Pasqueralle/Destiny Revealed A gritty book flavored with primitive urges and mysticism. As I followed Carol's foray into the realm of shamanism, I realized that it took a special touch to pull off a complicated plot the way you did. Your prose was concise, powerfully descriptive, the dialogue lively, and your photographic mastery of the fixtures and streets in Vancouver's hub, in clear evidence. Kenneth Edward Lim/The North Korean Carol, the head detective, has to solve several murder cases: with many twists and turns. There's Shamans, Animal Spirits, and "The Lure" thrown in for good measure. No wonder, Carol wanted to resign! Yes, this novel is a roller-coaster ride, with the author cleverly hinting along the way, ending with a roller coaster ride! Read this book. It is different. It's as if Elmore Leonard has risen as a shaman, to guide others to write about Indian lore. Nancy Bridgeman

Autorenporträt
Frank Talaber lives in Chilliwack, BC. He currently has twelve novels released, most set in BC, including Victoria, Haida Gwaii, Vancouver, and Prince George. He's written in many genres: Urban Fantasy, Science Fiction, Spiritual, comedy, Erotica, and Romance. Well, anything that calls to him, basically! As well as the novels, he can boast over eighty published short stories, articles, over sixty blogs and ten live interviews. Frank is also published by The Wild Rose Press, one of the largest traditional Publishing houses in the world, with "his other half" Felicity Talisman. People who have read Frank's books describe him as a natural storyteller who writes like his soul is on fire and his pencil is his voice crying out. They go further to say that they find his books grabbingly intense and hilarious at times, screaming everyday life from such a realistic viewpoint you're drawn into his world, unable to stop; almost cursing that they can't set the book down, page after page. Frank takes great pride in the realism of his work, painstakingly visiting most of the locations, (obviously, only the "real-life" ones!) and he is so thorough that many readers have remarked that they can hear, taste, visualize, smell and feel the essence of the place. "It really is like being there" one remarked. There isn't a greater compliment to be made. Literature written almost beyond genres, whose compelling thoughts are freed from the depths of the heart and subconscious before being poured onto the page. Or, as he often says, "you don't have to be mad to be a writer, but it sure helps". He writes in urban fantasy, science fiction, crime, spiritual, romance, erotica and comedy genres. Well, anything that calls to him, basically! "To be honest, I loved to write novels, like a rock star that loves to thrill an audience and get that cheering response. That I've moved them, made them laugh, cry, scream and dream. But overall entertain them in a way they have never been entertained before."
