THE DMZ

Reviewed by: Patricia Sprinkle, Bestselling mystery author

The DMZ is a great book! I read it during a book tour, and could hardly wait for my next break to get back to the Colombian jungle and the adventures of this young reporter who is caught in international intrigue while trying to sort out her own feelings about her past. The story is compelling, with good characters, great dialogue and descriptions, and an ending you cannot put down. Windle writes as well as Grisham and does a better job of weaving faith into the story.

 

"The DMZ was very thought-provoking and a real joy to read.”--Chuck Holton, bestselling author and former Airborne Ranger,  U. S. Army

 

Windle is skillful at capturing the setting and politics of South America, where she grew up . . . an exciting read.—Joseph Bentz, CBA Marketplace, July 2002

More praise for FIRESTORM

"Windle tells a disturbingly credible story that draws knowledgeably on America's war on drugs to weave a plot where religious extremists mount a potentially fatal terrorist threat at an unimaginably soft American target . . When this gripping story is finished, it will leave you more than a bit worried."-Clyde D. Taylor, Former U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay


"Jeanette Windle always writes an amazingly complex, realistic and eminently believable story, but it's her mastery of the language that will make you wish the last page would never come. Jeanette is a wordsmith of the first order, and her ability to describe a scene will make it come to life in your mind, and may cause you to literally break a sweat. Pick up any one of her books and she is sure to become one of your very favorite fiction authors by the end of the first chapter."
-Chuck Holton, Former U.S. Army Black Beret and best-selling author of A More Elite Soldier

 
"It is said that truth is stranger than fiction but Windle's fiction is so convincing that one hopes desperately that her fiction cannot possibly become the truth. This nail biting novel is so realistic that one wonders if
she has read the mind of potential terrorists."
-Willard Dickerson, Former director of education, American Booksellers Association

 
"Jeanette's style . . . is unique and authentic. I must confess I like a happy ending, but Jeanette does a good job of tempering the happy with the truth that life produces both joy and sorrow, happiness and pain, growth and scars . . . life and death."-Charles Avery, Retired counternarcotics police officer

"Jeanette Windle knows whereof she speaks. Having grown up and served in two of the most violent countries in the world-Colombia and Bolivia-she knows the territory, the culture, the language, the people and their customs. With the eagle eye of a reporter who ferrets out the facts, and the skillful pen of a fascinating writer, she has woven together a riveting and sobering story of international intrigue. This book is frightening unless the reader believes in the overruling hand of God in human history-and even then it will give all of us some disturbingly sleepless nights. I heartily recommend this book as fiction so true to life today that we cannot ignore it."-David M. Howard, well-known author and former director of LAM, WEF, Intervarsity, and Urbana 

 "FireStorm is a captivating and carefully woven story of intrigue. The author's skill in unveiling her characters coupled with her vivid descriptions provide energy and momentum to every page." -Robert B. Reekie, co-founder, Media Associates International, Inc.

As a missionary who works out of Miami and frequently travels throughout Colombia and South America, Jeanette Windle's FIRE STORM is an excellent primer about how the global terrorist network operates in South America and how it is able to strike in the heart of the USA. --Dr Neal Hegeman Miami International Seminary Miami International Seminary
