Brian Levene (BrianLevene) | 3 comments As an author, and I use that word loosely, readers don't always get the message I am trying to convey. Very frustrating when people just don't get it. But in time I started to appreciate my journey to become a better messenger and start to focus on every aspect of my messages. I challenge myself to create books that are socially relevant while making it entertaining every time I write. That's not always easy but I find it harder to write about frivolous issues that most of this vapid world concern themselves with. As one publicist on Faceboook told me "It is definitely out of the realm of the popular genres right now." I would love to prove her wrong someday.

When I wrote the first book in the T.O.G.G.L.E trilogy,The Terrorist's Daughters,and was finished with it, The review below are the words I wanted to hear but never thought I would,especially so early in its release. Truly inspirational.

Review taken from the popular Minding Spot Blogger http://mindingspot.blogspot.com/2014/...

"The Terrorist's Daughters is the first book in a new series by Brian Arthur Levene. A fast paced book with an indepth look into terrorism, degradation and what lengths one will go to to achieve security and to do what's humanly right. Zahra and Aalia are memorable characters who I really came to like as their story unfolded.

They make questionable choices many times but I don't know what I would do in their situations. They have been through some unspeakable horrors and yet still, they manage to keep their sanity, humanity and have goals for a future. They are strong, capable women, and aren't afraid to draw from their strength. The writing is fantastic, with the plot points and the character development the shining focus of this novel. The only surprise, for me, was the ending. Although I know this is the first book in the series, I expected it to end in some fashion. Instead, it just stopped. Very frustrating. If you're looking for a new series, try The Terrorist's Daughters. But, make sure you have some time on your hands as it's almost impossible to put down once you start!"

Linda (seniorsadie58) | 9 comments I love reading relevant yet entertaining books! A good friend of mine, who also is an author, Michael Rushnak got me into Thrillers! I was always into, biographies, political...but your book sounds great.

I applaud your decision to write a book, "out of the realm of popular genres right now." Makes me want to read it even more.

Where can I find the T.O.G.G.L.E trilogy and The Terrorist's Daughters?

Can't wait to read it. Thank you.

Linda

Brian Levene (BrianLevene) | 3 comments Thanks for your kind words Linda. It does have a political element to it also so you might love it. The book is everywhere in all formats.
