Now releasing Tio Jorge by Vincent Meis
Vincent Meis is back with a new tale. Check out Tio Jorge:
Tio Jorge is a novel about a young woman caught between two worlds, that of her affluent, fair-haired mother and her brooding Mexican father.
Five-year-old Rebecca Delon watches from the fierce grip of her father’s arms as the police take away Tio Jorge (George Edwards). She doesn’t know that her mother has just met her death by falling from a cliff along the California coast and that Tio Jorge will be accused of the crime.
In one day she loses the three most important people in her young life—her mother to death, her father to sadness, and Tio Jorge to the police. Sixteen years later Rebecca graduates from Stanford University.
She has been living a life of privilege in the care of her well-to-do maternal grandparents, but sets out on a mission to bring justice to Tio Jorge, who she believes was falsely accused. On a trip to Mexico to meet her father’s family for the first time, Rebecca becomes further convinced of Tio Jorge’s innocence. Back in California she learns that he is out of prison and living a reclusive but tranquil life not far from where she grew up.
When Rebecca and Tio Jorge’s lives intersect again, they must cope with the remnants of hurt stirred up by delving into the past, which challenge their notions of justice and truth, and ultimately their renewed friendship.
At the end of Rebecca’s journey awaits a new millennium family to replace the one she lost as a child.

I want to like this. It comes really close. I wish I could be more specific about what bugs me. Maybe it would help if you used a female narrator? The protagonist voice just doesn’t quite work for me.

I’m really enjoying the book. I’ve been completely pulled into the story and love the characters. I’m just concerned that it’s been several weeks since the release of last episode. I’m anxiously waiting for the final chapters. I hope all is well with you Mr. Vincent Meis. Keep up the great work.

Kelly,
Thanks so much for your interest. I’m really sorry about the lapse. I was off on a 2 month book tour for the print version of my other book, EDDIE’S DESERT ROSE. I put up Episode 22 the other day and will have 23 up in a day or 2. Episode 24 will be the conclusion. All the best!

Vincent Meis, I have enjoyed your book a great deal. Some people have become so jaded when it comes to audiobook reviews. Years ago many audiobooks where read by a computer, so when a human read one, even if it was not perfect, it was a treat. Plus, the amount of work and artistic ability that goes into creating a full length book, not to mention reading the book and recording it. It would seem to me that more people would take the time to leave a comment. Oh well, I know that I really enjoy these books and support them with purchases and donations when I can. Thank You for a great story, great characters and a great reading. P.S. EDDIE’S DESERT ROSE was another wonderful book. Keep writing these stories that entertain so many of us!

This was a beuatiful book. I loved Tio Jorge and Rebecca from the beginning. It’s so nice to see a story wich talks about thee real meaning of family. I loved that Rebecca thought of the family Jorge and her father wanted to create as home nad not with any negative feelings.
To me it didn’t matter that it tooke awhile for updates, the wait was well worth it.
