1106 Grand Boulevard

EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT SUSPENSE! "Edge-of-your-seat suspense. Dravis grabs the reader up front. A pageturner story that tugs the emotional heart strings." — David E. Meadows, author of the best-selling Joint Task Force and Sixth Fleet series OUTSTANDING LITERARY SKILLS! "1106 Grand Boulevard is one of those stories that I could sit down and read straight through. It was hard for me to put this book down! It is captivating and yet so true to life. It is a story of a young woman's (Billie Jean's) search for life, love and a stability in her life that always seems to elude her. This is truly a story of this woman's search along with so many other women's search for inner peace and strength. Betty Dravis is a dynamic writer who leaves you wanting more! We are proud of her outstanding literary skills as well as her being a Hamilton, Ohio native." — Katherine A. Becker, Hamilton City Councilperson YOU THINK LIZ TAYLOR HAD AN EXCITING LIFE ...? "You think that Liz Taylor had an exciting life of marriages, glamour, and tragedy? Well, the dramatized, fictional story of the author's sister in 1106 Grand Boulevard wins the prize for the most hair-raising soap opera that I have ever read. The sixty-four-year-spanning story reads like Harold Robbins's The Carpetbaggers, but with a beautiful woman in the lead, taking us from one glamorous location and wealthy man to another with hypnotic speed in order to cram in the entire tale of lust, power, money, and the search for true love." — Paul Kyriazi, Hollywood movie director (Omega Cop), author of How to Live the James Bond Lifestyle, Hard Rock Lovers INSIGHTFUL SOCIAL OBSERVATIONS ... A FASCINATING STORY ... "Betty Dravis has done it again! In her novelform she weaves not only an edge-of-the-seat thriller/romance, she also manages to ferret out the social maladies of the past few generations in the guise of her main character. Few writers rival Dravis's ability to make insightful social observations while leading the reader through a fascinating story. She knows her craft as a storyteller, while she shares her intuition as a significant journalist. 1106 Grand Boulevard is a fascinating journey well worth taking!" — Grady Harp, author of War Songs and essays on the arts ENDEARING TRIBUTE TO THE AUTHOR'S BEAUTIFUL SISTER! "Betty Dravis has written a beautiful love story of epic proportions; although fictitious, it's an endearing tribute to her beautiful sister, her family, and their childhood home in Hamilton, Ohio. It's the perfect book for my Ohio publishing house, and I predict a big winner." — Janet Sue Terry, publisher/CEO, Just My Best Publishing Inc., author of Set Me Free series: Possibilities and Resolutions and others
