Set in the 1960’s during the time of school desegregation in the South USA, “Dying Embers” tell the story of love, hate and tragedy of six young people clinging to their friendship while racial bigotry rages around them.
Told from the teenage boys’ point of views, this moving story takes us through the struggles of both blacks and whites youths as they have to deal with the realities of desegregation and the white racists’ hatred. Mr. Trust excels in portraying the racial attitudes show more of the time and creating a reading experience that has held me captive till the last page. I do remember the time of the civil rights movements and the many race riots in the 60’s. It was also the time of the Vietnam War, a time when America was in turmoil inside and outside its borders. The story is well- written to bring out the personalities of each character in roles so realistic and so close to history. How the change in the law had affected all segment of society is cleverly used in this fiction to make us realize how complex and dangerous the situation was during that time.
Mr. Trust has a fantastic way with words and has provided another atmospheric novel hard to put down. Some may think the tempo is on the slow side, but I think the author wanted for us to understand the human strengths and frailties and did so through his characters. show less

Book #2, in the Blue Eyes Series
You definitely need to read book #1 first, “An Empty Tree/an Eye for Death”, the story is so intriguing I simply had to continue with book #2 right after, here I am telling you my thoughts on this one. An elusive, strong female leads the story and our protagonist is back in full force with a new identity and challenges.
Alice Trent is a wanderer who conducts her life on the fringe of the law and unable to settle and have a true relationship. After her show more episode in the last novel Alice ends up in Las Vegas hoping for a new life. But life is not that smooth for our Alice, the business she works for is under a hostile takeover, her colleagues are not all keen to have her there and a cop gets too close to her. What is she getting herself into when she meets and makes a deal with a strong hand man to save Sol’s business…..eventually she needed to escape once more…. she is on the move again…..book #3 will tell us where.
Another great story filled with twists and turns and suspense. Alice is not your typical female character and her sort stay in Nevada was captivating, a story hard to put down. Lots goes on, not a dull moment from the opening page to the last I was kept on the edge all along trying to be a step ahead of Alice and guessing what she was up to even wondering if her cop friend will discover her true identity.
“A Desert View”, is a wonderful relaxing adventure and perfect entertainment that flows smoothly and grabs you from the get-go.…. boy I will be reading book #3 next…..
Loved it…. show less

Book#3, in the Blue Eyes series
Alice is on the move fleeing Las Vegas exchanging the hot desert sands for the cool ocean breeze of the Atlantic. Taking the name of Samantha she settles for a while in Digger Key, an isolate place with a shabby bar….. The Florida Keys will never be the same…..This 3rd story is as captivating as the 2 first were.
After two books, I knew our protagonist will do anything to help her new family. First she settles in, find a job, a home and makes friends that show more she will call her family. When Digger Key is treated by a predatory property developer Sam springs into action. As the story moves along and switches among the characters, we get deep inside the minds of each one. Of course the main focus is on Alice (Samantha). New players to enjoy and one important recurring one…Barent, her lover from Las Vegas who is tracking her down…but don’t expect too much here, the thread is barely developed leaving the door open…..
This story does not disappoint, we are swiftly engulfed in a tug of war game between the good guys versus the bad guys in a scenario that is fast and filled with suspense and thrills. Alice is a well-developed and unforgettable character and how she pulls us in is surely where the author excels.
With its everyday language, a narration that flows smoothly and a cast of fun characters this can only be a page-turner and an easy read. show less
