C. Lee McKenzie has done me
the great good service
the great good service
of doing the first review
of RAZOR VALENTINE
of RAZOR VALENTINE
What did she say?
In Razor Valentine you enter 1947 during Carnival where the natural laws
don’t exist and where death is a dark and dangerous beauty.
In this
world, unlikely people struggle to live and love. Death is always
imminent and confusion is queen.
Many characters return from previous stories to weave their way into this newest surreal adventure.

And there are some new, but extraordinary characters based on real life
celebrities of the 40s. Yeomans captures their essence in this bizarre
tale.
Cesar Romero on board the USS Cavalier_1943
On October 12, 1942, he voluntarily enlisted in the
U.S. Coast Guard and saw action in the
Pacific Theater of Action.
participating in the invasions of
Tinian and Saipan.
Movie Still from 1941
Caesar Romero comes to life as the suave, sophisticated actor he actually was on the Hollywood screen decades ago.
(Major James Stewart in 1943)
You can almost hear Jimmy Stewart drawl his way through the story, and the author pays him the respect he earned in real life during the war years.
As always, a lot of fresh and often humorous images lace the story and Yeomans does an elegant dance with the English language. Something I always appreciate.
(4 out of 5 Stars)
Thank you so much. Lee!
