When Assassins and Allies Conspire Reviewed by: Anne Holmes for the NABBW

This downloadable Kindle book is a collection of four short stories, written by master storyteller Ronda Del Boccio. Each story is prefaced by a brief author\’s introduction which shares with the reader her inspiration for that tale.

I won\’t tell you about all of the stories, but I will say that each is different, and hugely creative. My favorite is the last one, a fantasy titled “Assassin and the Prince.” It features a bodyguard, AreeLaradi-prr-Kyree, or Aree the Kyree, who is perhaps best described as a cat who\’s five feet tall.

But don\’t call her a cat to her face. As a Kyree, she will be most offended by the comparison. Aree is hired to serve as a bodyguard for the human, Prince Caspian, who\’s a bit self-centered and immature. Though he begins to grow up as the story progresses.

Del Boccio promises there will be further stories of the adventures of Aree and the Prince. I look forward to reading them.

As "Boomer in Chief" of the National Association of Baby Boomer Women, Anne is passionate about educating, empowering and enriching the lives of Baby Boomer Women, as we now begin to age beyond our middle years and enthusiastically launch ourselves into life’s next stage – which most people call old age. We Boomers know aging doesn’t have to diminish us. We still have a lot to offer the world, and we continue to be ready and willing to enthusiastically participate.

Actively involved with a number of Boomer-focused organizations and committees, Anne keeps a steady finger on the pulse of this still-spirited generation, with the goal of helping us all to enjoy life, stay healthy and continue to live lives that are rich in every sense of the word. Beyond that, Anne is dedicated to helping facilitate the positive interaction between Baby Boomers and the hard-working younger generations who are readying themselves to “take the world’s reins” and continue our efforts to move society in a positive direction.
