Snow doesn't just fall on cedars on Michigan's Upper Peninsula: it coats everything, mobile and inanimate, in a treacherously quick, dangerously thick blanket of white. As Alex McKnight observes, gazing out the window of his cabin in Paradise, "It looked like about six inches of new snow. Around here, that qualifies as scattered flurries." Given this climate, the urge to hibernate is perfectly understandable--batten down the hatches, throw another log on the fire, and wait until the spring thaw. For Alex, the denning impulse is as much psychological as it is physical. Haunted by memories of his deadly failures as a cop, a private investigator, and a lover, Alex wants nothing more than to plow his driveway, be cordial to the snowmobilers who rent his cabins, and lower his core emotional temperature to the forgetting point. Unfortunately, he's got friends who get in the way of his seasonal plans.
When Vinnie LeBlanc, an Ojibwa Indian, convinces Alex to fill in as goalie for his hockey team, slap shots and hard checks are soon the least of his worries. Instead, he becomes embroiled in a tangle of conflicting allegiances; one of his opponents, Lonnie Bruckman, a bigot and a psychotic, is terrorizing the Ojibwa reservation in ways both personal and professional: he abuses his girlfriend, Dorothy Parrish, and sells "wild cat," a methamphetamine derivative, to members of the reservation. Dorothy--desperate to escape her Ojibwa heritage but reluctantly acknowledging its force--turns up on Alex's front door with a mysterious canvas bag and a plea for shelter: "'The wolf moon means it's time to protect the people around you because there are wolves outside your door.'" But the next day, she's gone.
As Alex, devastated by his inability to protect Dorothy, tries to find her, he must confront Bruckman--for whom a snowmobile is less a recreational vehicle than an instrument of torture; a mysterious Russian named Molinov; the combined forces of the local police and the DEA; and, it seems, even those he has always considered friends. Luckily for Alex, Leon Prudell, "a two-hundred-forty-pound whirlwind of flannel and snowboots," who really, really wants to be a private investigator, is right there to lend a hand. Leon adds a welcome note of comic relief to the novel (as does, to be sure, Alex's own dryly sardonic wit), but the book's tone is largely elegiac: "It was the middle of the day, but with the sun hidden behind the clouds and the weight of snow in the air, there was an oddly muted light, dim yet persistent, as each snowflake seemed to glow with its own energy. I stopped for a moment ... hypnotized by the sight of it and by the sound of my own breathing." Surviving winter takes many kinds of courage, and the reader will be enthralled by Alex's efforts to disprove Molinov's ominous warning, "'Once you freeze all the way through to your soul, you will never feel warm again. You'll see.'"
Steve Hamilton won the 1999 Edgar Award for his first Alex McKnight mystery, A Cold Day in Paradise, and Winter of the Wolf Moon will reassure readers that neither beginner's luck nor sophomore jinx troubles this author. --Kelly Flynn
Book Description
Ex-cop and sometime P.I. Alex McKnight endures the bitter winter of Michigan's Upper Peninsula in his log cabin with warm fires and cold Molsons. When Dorothy Parrish, a young Ojibwa woman, asks him for shelter from her violent boyfriend, McKnight agrees. But after secreting her in one of his cabins, he finds her gone the next morning. McKnight suspects vicious, hockey-playing Lonnie Bruckman of abducting the woman. But his search for her brings on more suspects, bruising encounters, and a thickening web of crime, all obscured by the relentless whiplash of brutal snowstorms. From the secret world of the Ojibwa reservation to the Canadian border and deep into the silent woods, someone is out to kill-and McKnight is driving right into the line of fire....AUTHORBIO: STEVE HAMILTON, born and raised in the Detroit area, now works for IBM in upstate New York, where he lives with his wife and children.

Decent Story but a Weak (Unsatisfactory) Second Act.......2007-09-02
One of the problems when a author begins a series, is that he knows that at some point he will have to create a secondary line of interest from the one that was set-up in the first book. Alex McKnight is an ex-minor league catcher and ex-Detroit Michigan Policemen who retired from the force after being shot three times in the chest, with one bullet being left close to his spine. He lives in the Upper Peninsula (UP or Yoopee) of Michigan in the town of Paradise. He makes his living by renting out cabins that have access to Lake Superior in the summer and snowmobiling trails in the winter.
More than anything, McKnight doesn't want to be a cop or even a private investigator ever again. But just like in the first book he is pulled back into criminal investigation by the whims of chaos. He has even got a
'partner' in the guise of a snowmobile salesman, Leon Prudell (who we met in the first book). His only 'friends' are a Ojibwa Indian Vinnie Le Blanco and Jackie (as Scotsman) who runs the Glasgow Inn.
The first book was filled with references to the Ojibwa way of life and the way the people of the first nations looked to the land. Yes some of it was 'hokie' but it's what makes these types of stories interesting. In this book, the Ojibwa way of life is only tangential to the story and feels as if it was thrown into the story at the last minute.
There is a lot of flippancy and smirking in the way some characters are presented. Two DEA agents are named 'Champagne' and 'Urbania'; could this be a plug for the University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana? Two Russian bad guys are named, 'Roman' and 'Pearl'; the word for novel in Russian (like in French/Italian) is Roman, but I'm not sure of the "Pearl" connotation. Vinnie La Blanco's (who is an off-reservation Indian) last name translate to "The White". Throw in Mc"Knight" and the Sault (Soo Michigan) Ste. Marie Police Chief "Maven" and it starts to get a little overwhelmingly 'cutesy'.
Lastly, we are left with the knowledge that at some time in the future there will be a showdown between McKnight and a 'vicious' Russian mob boss named Molinov (he shoots two of his own men for killing an 'innocent' woman); and you get the feeling that this book was only written to prepare the way for the rest of the series. It's way too over the top when it comes to violence for violence sake.
Not to mention the unrealistic physical recovery of McKnight, after being dragged behind a snowmobile and suffering a partially collapsed lung and concussion, he walks out of the hospital the same day that his chest tube is removed. The guy is forty- eight years old and can hardly walk the day after playing goalie in a thirty minute hockey game; but can leave the hospital with a couple of broken ribs and a three inch incision in his side! Enough said, let's get back to reality.
Striking discription and story.......2006-12-01
This is my second "Alex" Novel. What can you say. You can feel that snow and cold, the boredom that can develop in the Upper and the people that live there and how they cope. His living in Michigan and observations have made him a great writer, any of us that live here in Michigan can feel all that he discribes. His plotting is great also both storys had me wondering all the way to the end. I will continue to read all his books as I progress. They are all great.
Stunning!"Winter of the Wolf Moon".......2006-11-06
I would call me an odd reader especially for a female!(46)Romance novels, etc. never have interested me.Never would I have thought a detective type story would even interest me!I couldnt put it down!I read it in a few hours!In fact I have just ordered the rest of his books!This was the first of the series I have read ,but now have all the rest coming!Should be a fine winter for my reading,of Mr. Hamilton's, Alex Mcknight series!!
Howling at the moon.......2005-04-04
What I like about Steve Hamilton's books is the seamless transition between humor, albeit sarcastic humor, and the 'game's afoot,' the mystery. But then Hamilton's real strength isn't that but rather his poetic description of the forest, in many places along the UP still untouched, the cold, nature, the sky and the solitude. He's a little bit of James Dickey and James Lee Burke, who write of the south, while at the same time peppering the reader with the quips and glibness of Parker and Crais. A difficult task considering the solemnity of the forest and the comedic qualities of Alex and Vinnie. But Hamilton keeps Alex's tongue in check when he's painting his canvas.
The plot is fairly pedestrian. Here we have the woman in distress and the traumatized hero, Alex McKnight 'volunteered' to help her. Then you have the contiguous sanctity of the Native American culture that Detroit born Alex didn't grow up with, but respects and in many ways, embraces.
Someone is selling designer drugs on the Reservation, and Alex and his friend Vinnie LeBlanc wonder if the two events, the girl in distress and her subsequent disappearance, are related to the drug traffic. And then there's the winter.
Hamilton describes it so well you may want to click the heat in your crib up a notch. Beautiful writing, worth the more common boy meets girl, helps her out, loses her, looks for her and gets a real good beating on the journey. Hamilton has a great future, and we're the beneficiaries. 4 stars. Larry Scantlebury
A great follow-up to his first novel!.......2005-01-16
Steve Hamilton's novels are so enjoyable to read. I just love the feeling of having one in my hand. This time Alex McKnight gets mixed up with a woman named Dorothy who asks for his help. Abused by her boyfriend, she just wants to get away. After letting her stay at one of his cabins, she turns up missing. Alex thinks her violent boyfriend may have kidnapped her and feels personally responsible for her disappearance. Later he finds out that she had a bag full of drugs and her boyfriend isn't the only one looking for her. Fast-paced and always a joy to read, Alex's personality leaps from the pages. I can't get enough of his wry humor.

NOT Magick 101!.......2004-08-13
Bored with the same old rituals? Coven or grove stuck in a rut? Think you know everything? Then grab this book and get ready for a shake-up; your magickal life may never be the same. Things to check at the door: stereotypes about chaos magic(k), politikal korrectness, and fear. Things to bring along: imagination and a sense of humor. You will find loads of inspiration here for creating new and exciting rituals, from one to mess with time (stretch it out so you can finish that grant proposal? compress it so sitting on the freeway with your foot on the clutch for hours seems to pass in seconds?), to a Buffy Vampire-Slaying Rite for the graveyard on Halloween Night, as well as exercises designed to get in touch with your own creativity.
Humphries and Vayne, both artists outside the magickal world, prove in this slim volume that they're top-notch ritual artists as well. They present chaos magic(k) as descended from both the Western magical tradition and the more linear, scientific ideas of Marx, Freud and (ultimately) the post-modernists, who argue that all reality is culturally constructed. Thus the thread behind all the rituals ane exercises in this book is the paradox that nothing is objectively true, but at the same time, reality is ultimately a subjective experience. If that's the case, then magicians can have at it at will, changing consciousness and maybe the very fabric of reality as well.
In keeping with their po-mo theoretical orientation, the authors present accounts of the rituals from a first-person perspective, often including a great deal of subjective reflection and soul-gazing. I personally like this style, but some may find it distracting or self-indulgent. What it does do is make perfectly clear that rituals are what we make of them. These aren't recipes to duplicate, down to the smallest ingredient; they're meant to inspire us to create our own variations, according to our own needs and desires.
Needless to say, this isn't a book for beginners. I would also recommend working most of these rituals in a group, preferably one that's already been working comfortably together for some time. That's because the results from these kinds of free-form artistic rituals can be unpredictable; if there are already conflicts in your group, you can be sure that this kind of work will bring them to the fore. With these caveats aside, I highly recommend this book. There's a dearth of good magical material out there for those beyond the "Wicca 101" level, and this book fills that niche.

A BOOK TO REMEMBER.......2005-08-11
I saw the author's article in the BOSTON GLOBE a few months ago; he writes well and each chapter hits at a key church problem. Fortunately he has ideas for reform and change. Great contribution to the debate on the contemporary Catholic Church. Here is sample of how the book reads:
DANIELLE KINKEL AND JOHN KINKEL
A solution to the priest shortage
By Danielle Kinkel and John Kinkel |Boston Globe February 24, 2005
NOW THAT former priest Paul Shanley has been convicted and the pope is out of the hospital, Catholics can face other troubling realities. But time is running out. The church is in deep trouble, and we're not even talking about the clergy sexual abuse scandal. Over the last 25 years it has seen a steady erosion of the priest population. The latest figures are hard to think about. But Lent is a time to deal with reality.
For the first time in recent years, statistical reports have shown that the Roman Catholic Church has a shortage of about 160,000 priests worldwide, if we use staffing standards of 1978 when John Paul II became pope. US churches need about 10,000 priests. The number of priests has remained relatively stagnant during this pontiff's rule, but church membership has grown by 250 million. In the United States, for every one priest who is ordained, three are dying, retiring, or leaving for various reasons.
To reverse this trend, bishops must bring the church out of its tailspin. The focal point is figuring out how to recruit and train new priests -- and quickly. Otherwise, more churches will have to close.What can be done?
First, everyone knows that ordaining women is a papal no-no and will not be acted upon in the near future.
Second, calling back the 20,000 US priests who have left to marry in the last 30 years is not going to fly. The reason is that the church forgives, but it does not forget. The bishops do not want a new crop of priests to marry because they have taken a vow of celibacy and it would look like backsliding. The thought of priests searching for soulmates on eHarmony.com is shocking to most bishops. Plan B to the rescue.
The church has about 14,000 deacons in the United States who are serving the church in a variety of capacities, including baptisms. They are one step away from the priesthood, but between them and the priesthood is a huge chasm. About 90 percent of these men are married. Thus, they don't qualify unless the church decides to ordain married men who are already members of the clergy class.
With one stroke of a pen, US bishops could demand that the Vatican acquiesce and allow them to begin training and ordaining married deacons. A few more years of study by these men could yield as many as 5,000 new priests for US dioceses alone. Other countries could follow suit.
The ordination of married deacons would forever change the US church and Roman Catholicism. First, it would provide full-time leaders that bishops are now unable to recruit because the priesthood is tied to celibacy. By ordaining married deacons, fewer churches in Boston and elsewhere in the United States would have to close and local parishes would be invigorated with new leaders who could better understand the needs of the church and its families.
Second, over the years these men could help formulate church policy in terms of family values and fiscal responsibility; they are experienced because they pay bills every month and raise children.
Third, the vast majority of Catholics would be delighted to see that the bishops can do something right. Catholics could be proud of the institution once again.
Such a change could be the first step toward parish renewal. Finally, we would have a success story. More envelopes would be dropped in collection baskets -- no small matter considering the financial problems the church is facing. Ordaining married deacons would be a way for the church to solve one of its biggest problems and to move on.
Danielle Kinkel is a graduate student at Boston College. John Kinkel, her father, is a former priest and author of the forthcoming "Chaos in the Catholic Church."
Chaos Rules!.......2005-08-06
Best book I have even read about the problems of the Catholic church. There are many solid suggestions on how things could be improved. The article below by Lawn Griffiths shows this book is having an impact already.
Publication:East Valley Tribune; Date:Saturday, July 30, 2005 ; Section:Spiritual Life; Page:102
Proposed: A practical solution to priest shortage
LAWN GRIFFITHS TRIBUNE
It seems wishful thinking to hear Catholic leaders confidently say that young Catholics will increasingly choose religious life and reverse the evergrowing shortage of priests and nuns. Something rather amazing would have to trigger such a turnaround.
Just as the Army is falling short of its recruiting goals month after month, the Roman Catholic Church worldwide is running hopelessly behind in filling its ranks of men and women of the cloth. Both the military and Catholic religious life entail major sacrifice: Military service means the possibility of losing one's life or being permanently injured. Becoming a Catholic priest or nun means not being able to marry or to have children.
The Catholic Church benefited hugely in the 1960s from the Vietnam-era draft, which caused an inordinate number of Catholic males to go into seminary and obtain military deferments. Had there not been that draft threat, research suggests, notably fewer would have gone to seminary - and the priest shortage would be even more severe today. When the draft ended in 1973, seminary enrollment plummeted, according to professor and professional researcher R. John Kinkel's soon-to-be-published book, "Chaos in the Catholic Church: A Call for Reform."
We continue to hear wishful thinking from the church hierarchy that prayers will prompt eager and eligible Catholics to enter seminaries.
Just 27 seminarians are under care of the Phoenix diocese, which numbers nearly half a million Catholics. One priest was ordained last spring, and two are in line for next year - paltry numbers given the enormous need.
Progressive Catholics say letting priests marry, opening the priesthood to married men, and dropping the maleonly requirements would cause a torrent of enrollees.
Kinkel, who was in the priesthood for 12 years before leaving in 1979 for marriage and family, has a solution that he calls practical and centrist: Take the church's talented and tested deacons, give them a little more training, and ascribe them the full faculties, duties and authority of the priesthood.
That more than 90 percent of them are married men would just have to be accepted for the greater good.
About 14,000 deacons now work in U.S. parishes, handling such duties as baptisms, weddings, funerals and bringing viaticum to the dying. Deacons also may preach, administer the sacraments and teach. They may not celebrate Mass, hear confessions and absolve sin, administer the anointing of the sick or administer the sacrament of confirmation.
"These people have been trained, these people preach on Sunday, they baptize children, they assist at hospitals, they are on the payroll," Kinkel said. "All of this bespeaks a resource there, and so I say, `Why not?' "
"Do you want to close churches or keep them open? Do you want to have people in Africa have Masses or not?" said Kinkel, who has written op-ed columns on the issue in such papers as The Boston Globe and Detroit Free Press. "To me, it's getting to a point that if you don't do something, you've got a lot to answer for." He points to college student surveys that suggest seminary enrollments would quadruple if the celibacy requirement were dropped.
Kinkel quotes studies showing the worldwide priest shortage at about 160,000. "If we use staffing standards of 1978 when John Paul II became pope, U.S. churches need about 10,000 priests," he wrote in a Globe commentary, co-authored by daughter, Danielle Kinkel, a Boston College graduate student.
The diaconate was brought back into the church by actions of Vatican II, just in time to help offset the labor losses as the priest population waned. In 1972, Phoenix's diocese was among the first to ordain deacons, and today there are about 225, 160 of whom are active. Twenty are in training in the 2006 class and 15 for 2008.
Deacons typically hold full-time jobs outside the church or are retired. Phoenix diocese deacons have a median age of 62. They are expected to work eight hours per week in the parish, but actual time varies. They are described as "unsalaried clergy." Only a fraction of deacons would want - or be able - to move on to the priesthood.
"Even if only onethird were selected, that could give the church about 4,000 new priests in a few years" in America, Kinkel said.
"In the United States, for every one priest who is ordained, three are dying, retiring or leaving for various reasons," the Kinkels wrote.
The irony is that the planet's largest organized religion, Roman Catholicism, cannot fill its primary frontline jobs - the priesthood.
"As Catholics, we are not at a place where we can spread the gospel or even maintain our religious practices without people" Kinkel said.

The acclaimed national bestseller-a no-holds-barred account of what you can really expect when you're expecting
Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy!
In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or indeed, has ever been born!

take it or leave it.......2007-10-05
My sister in law bought me this book because people told her it was soooo funny. But I wasn't really that impressed. It was funny but I wasn't laughing at loud or anything. Probably not a book I would read again or buy as a gift for anyone else.
A nice change of pace..........2007-09-12
I bought this book seeking something other than the typical "What to expect when you're expecting", and that's exactly what I got. I am a sarcastic, slightly cynical person... this book was perfect for me. Jenny McCarthy is straight to the point, and shockingly honest. The book is sincere, but with the comedy edge that makes it less cheesy than most pregnancy books.
Great read for every pregnant woman.......2007-09-10
The book is very honest and very funny. Jenny does a great job at sharing all her embarassing pregnancy stories and reasures us that what we are expieriencing is in fact normal!
more comical than informative........2007-09-07
This book is easy reading however, its not as informative as I'd hoped. I am pregnant for the first time (writing under my husbands name!), and was looking for something funny AND informative. The best book for this topic I've found is "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy" by Vicky Iovine. She is hilarious, and VERY informative and covers every topic. This book basically tells stories of Jenny's pregnancy - which is great - but only one persons story.
Waste of time and money.......2007-09-06
This book was a complete waste of time (the whole hour it took to read it) and money. I found many other books much more informative, upfront and honest.
Customer Reviews:
Very good for culinary students.......2003-10-04
I used this book in my culinary school and found it to be quite good. It has wonderful introductory knowledge in hot food and great recipes. I also used it to study for the American Federation Certification test. I also highly recommend the following which is on amazon.
Study Guide for the National ServSafe Exam: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Melissa Heilman.
The second book was highly effective in helping me and my class pass the National Servsafe Exam. I give each book five stars.
Covers basic fundamentals well.......1998-10-23
The Art and Science of Culinary Preparation is a good book for those individuals seeking sound basic knowledge about cooking skills. The are a lot of drawings to aid in understanding the principles discussed. There are some nice begining recipes as well. This makes a nice addition to anyones library. This book reminds us of the needed fundamentals we use every day in cooking. A very sound value for the money spent. This book is the first book we use at my culinary school, and is used in the tests for certification in the American Culinary Federation tests.
