Wendi Schuller loves mysteries and devoured Agatha Christie ones at an early age. She enjoys going to where they took place or were written, such as Egypt or the Seven Dials in London. Her new series, The Adventures of Margo, Girl Detective, have many cases to solve with the help of two friends.
Wendi Schuller is a globe-trotter by nature, having travelled to over sixty countries and jungles on three continents. She got the idea for her children’s book Jack Jack The Jungle Cat in Cambodia on one of those trips with her children. Combine her love for jungle habitat and animals with a career that expanded on her innate compassion for family, children and all living things – and you have a recipe for Jack Jack The Jungle Cat. Her first published book – The Global Guide to Divorce – was written in response to the need of many families to negotiate divorce with the least amount of trauma as possible. Wendi is a nurse, a Neuro-Linguistic Programmer, and a hypnotherapist.

MY REVIEW
It all starts with Achmael. His life was with his goats. He is lucky to be alive. Usually anyone handicapped is put to death because of their harsh life in Ghat, a remote and isolated village. He is club footed.
The soldiers had been told to dump the bodies in a pit, but did a lousy job of it, which was good for the survivors, which Achmael found.
The British were not going to let their torture go unpunished. Rory would be leading the team to get their revenge. But, it won’t be easy.
The training they go through is brutal, yet amazing. Pain suppression. It is highly secret, even to MI5 and MI6.
The Sultan is not one to be crossed and believe torture is the order of the day.
They make their first move and through they have blended in with their environment, I feel something terrible is coming their way. Will the Sultan catch onto their plan? Would he set a trap for them? If so, will they survive? Can they accomplish their mission and get out…alive?
If you read George Lockie’s biography, you will see he has military experience to draw on, making his characters, and the world they live in, come to life. The bond formed is one of respect and loyalty, working as a well oiled machine to accomplish a common goal. His research pays off and showcases the characters in a realistic way.
I loved Revenge and the characters that stuck together through thick and thin, no matter the danger they faced. To get an inside look at how they operate makes me appreciate what those in service sacrifice for us, that sit comfy, cozy going about our daily business.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Revenge by George Lockie.

Book Description:
Rory Glassen is selected to join an elite SAS cell. They are sent to
Libya to seek retribution for the near-death torture of two of their SAS
troopers, at the hands of a medieval-run empire led by a despotic
Sultan. What was to be a milk-run operation turns sour, as a battle of
wits to survive soon develops between two warring factions. Sultan and
Rory lock horns, trying to outwit each other and prevent any more
deaths. It is only when a most unexpected ally emerges from Rory’s
distant past, and offers the cell information, that a solution appears.
Like worms, they burrow into the catacombs of the old Roman Fort on
which the Sultan’s Palace is built and seek their revenge.
Meet the Author:
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1941. Married in 1964 in Edinburgh,
Scotland. Wife’s name is Avril. Has two children, Darren (52) and
Vanessa (47). Enjoyed six years’ service in the Parachute Regiment in
the British Army from 1960 to 65, mainly in the Middle East and Europe.
Migrated as a family to Australia, in 1965, seeking new challenges and a
different lifestyle in a more exciting environment. Traveled
extensively worldwide whilst employed by a major Australian
International Packaging Group, as National Operations Manager, a senior
management role from 1986 to 2003. Started writing in 1995, as he felt
that the Army relationships and strong emotional bonds that are created
in life-threatening experiences in the field, had not been exposed, or
described adequately, in the novels he had read. His first novel tried
to cover that. It takes place post-WWI through to post-WWII. The second
novel, a follow-up military story, again covers a subject not exposed as
a problem before. His third novel covers a criminal gang and its unique
way to produce huge profits from the saddest moments in human life; yet
a boon to the medical world. The fourth exposes the world of computer
hacking, with a clever killer achieving his aim of executing a crime
boss in revenge for his wife’s death at his hands. 1st: Eye of the
Hunter (Thriller, suspense.) 2nd: Chameleon (Suspense, thriller, crime.)
3rd: Miracle Cure (Military, Crime, Police.) 4th: Furtive Shadows
(Military, SAS, MI6) All novels are linked by a common major character,
Rory Glassen – a ruthless, dedicated soldier with extraordinary senses
and physical attributes gleaned from his childhood upbringing alone in
the Scottish Glens.
