Richard: This is very interesting. I have always loved courtroom dramas and things like that. I watched all the court shows on the TV. Judge Mathis, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Judy. The only judge I don't like is Judge Marilyn Millan (not sure if it's the correct spelling), it is because she always blindlessly makes assumption and does not always put on her listening ears, she's a poor judge. I would love to have a copy of your book! Can't really wait!!! Heeeheee!!! I'm SOOOO into courtroom dramas and legal things!!! Sandie Angel :o)

This book is definitely a needed piece of informative literature. As a paralegal for 20+ years, I sincerely hope this book is a huge success, as I believe it will help many. Thank you for putting together this very important work. God Bless, Deborah

The Paradise of Revenge (Hardback) (Book) - 12/10/2007 9:30:34 PM
A page turner that leaves you breathless! After suffering a vicious and disfiguring sexual attack, devout young Josefina wants so much for it to have never happened. Refusing to deal with reality, she jumps on the first man kind to her to get on with her life. But her action was only putting herself down and creates her alter ego, Josie. Josie’s disturbing obsession with the Christian Biblical admonition of “Sins of the father” and the exacting of her erotic revenge on young Shyler, the innocent son of her convicted rapist, left a deep impression on me. The Paradise of Revenge poses questions to those of us who relate to the characters of the story and invites us as readers to reflect on them. When something bad happens, we are forced to either accept it or deny it. Do we embrace it to make us stronger? Or do we simply deny it by bottling it up somewhere deep within like a time bomb—only to have it explode in one big ugly mess? What is good and what is bad? The Paradise of Revenge is a novel of “when bad things happen to good people.” Author Richard Lee Orey shows extraordinary insight into a traumatized human mind. This may be accredited to his many years of courtroom experience. But to essentially project the mind of a female by a man is nothing short of excellent and outstanding work. I’m repeatedly left breathless. Without a doubt, The Paradise of Revenge is a labyrinth of twisted characters. It takes the emotion and mind of the reader on one helluva flight. I am most certainly looking forward to more of Mr. Orey’s work. Lynda Nilus, Avid Reader, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Hey dad, You'll be delighted to know that I finished your book! And what a great ending to a great story. I really loved how you developed each and every one of the characters--that was the most fascinating thing, other than the weaving of such a fascinating story. You are a master writer, and I'm proud to say "my dad wrote this book!" Love, Vicki

This promises to be not only fascinating, but it has the potential to save someone from an apoplexy (well, at least from suffering a lot of stress due to ignorance of the legal system)...wonderful project, Richard! Best of luck, Gina

The Paradise of Revenge (Hardback) (Book) - 6/5/2007 5:43:11 AM
I haven't read this book, Richard, but after seeing everything about it here, and reading your other work, I know I will. I don't think I quite realized before what an intellect I've been dealing with here at AD. Your background and recognitions are superb for this work. I even find your perceptions in reviewing my work some of the better and best things to read. When you aren't active here, I miss you right away. You may be one of those true giants among us...Jerry

How To Be Smart, Shrewd & Cunning--Legally! (Book) - 6/5/2007 5:23:58 AM
I've played the dummy too many times, Richard, so it sounds like I need your book. Let us hear the trumpets when it's out. The fox and eggs for the cover is a great idea...Jerry

The Paradise of Revenge (Hardback) (Book) - 5/22/2007 3:55:37 PM
The Paradise of a Wonderful Read To me, literature is a term used to describe books that are truly worth every reader’s time and are significant enough to be remembered for a lifetime. The Paradise of Revenge is, without a doubt, literature. The benevolence and corruption of the human soul is seen through the eyes of young Josefina Camarillo. A devoutly religious girl, all Josefina wants is to become a wife and raise a family of her own. Her dreams of purity are shattered on one brutal night in which she is raped and forever disfigured. Innocence lost, Josefina loses all hope in her life. In her sorrow, something sinister stirs within her psyche, something with an insatiable thirst for revenge. Mentally battered, Josefina begins to lose control of her mind, unable to stop the darkness that lies within all of us. Add this with a courageous young wife and mother who takes on a judicial crime family guilty of framing her spouse for the rape and disfigurement of a vengeful Josefina. Selflessly, she willingly risks her self respect and life to prove her husband’s innocence and to bring his accusers to justice. A wondrous web of truth and deceit is spun, leading up to the irreversible repercussions of revenge. A complex, thought provoking tale with a generous share of surprising twists can be found within this astounding read. Woven within the story are believable, sympathetic characters, attention grabbing conflicts, and plenty of insight regarding human nature. For those who not only search for a good read, but also seek true life revelations, look no further. In my sincerest of judgements, The Paradise of Revenge is a must read.

How To Be Smart, Shrewd & Cunning--Legally! (Book) - 4/29/2007 2:55:10 PM
Richard this book sounds like quite a piece of informative work! Wishing you great success this sounds like a winner too! Congrats on the upcoming publication and all the best to you/books. ~Gwendolyn A. Thomas

The Paradise of Revenge (Hardback) (Book) - 3/22/2007 2:53:16 AM
"The Paradise of Revenge", by Richard Lee Orey is both fascinating and shocking inasmuch as the plot revolves around the worst kind of corruption known to decent citizens: a corrupt justice system. The prologue grabs the reader’s interest by introducing the despicable travesty of justice as seen through the eyes, thoughts, and dialogue of the evil-minded and hated antagonists. It creates a mood that prepares the reader for the horrible, traumatic, premeditated assault on an innocent young woman, in which the perpetrators of that assault later frame a decent unsuspecting family man for the crime. The man’s wife, wanting to find a way to free her innocent husband from prison, gets caught up in a terrible scheme, perpetrated by the crime organization, which turns her into a prostitute. The young rape victim of the violent assault suffers immensely, and eventually marries a man who offers her hope until the marriage turns sour. Deep inside her is such a strong need for revenge, she becomes two personalities that are marked by good and evil. The contrast describes the decent man’s eternal struggle to choose good over evil and how experiences and emotions can lead to wrong choices—which in this instance, the victim’s choice of committing a terrible wrong on another innocent victim, the son of her accused rapist. Mr. Orey is a master of words, and his use and control of the English language is no less than extraordinary. His ability to describe people and places is superb, and many descriptions rang of poetic merit. After reading "The Paradise of Revenge", I must state that the book is not for the faint-hearted or for anyone who is opposed to graphic sex. Greed and lust are at the core of the plot that centers on an organization of people within the justice system who trump up criminal charges against innocent men in order to coerce their wives into joining a lewd Prison Widows Club. The women are blackmailed into working as prostitutes; thereby filling the pockets of the crime family running the organization. In order to exemplify the overall purpose and effect of the crime organization, and the degradation felt by the victim and the coerced women, Mr. Orey consistently writes explicit sexual scenes throughout the book. The suspense is ripe and the reader’s interest peaked with the actions of all the characters, according to how they relate to each other. The resolution was handled extremely cleverly, and the introduction of McKinley Clearwater, a man of moral strength and fortitude, indirectly impacts the lives of the main characters by effecting a surprise resolution and redemption. All in all, Mr. Orey has written a very interesting story that probably is a spin-off from incidents that actually happened during his twenty-six years in the courtroom as an official court reporter. For anyone who believes that our justice system is inviolate, "The Paradise of Revenge" will serve as a wake-up call to the fact that evil can rear its ugly head most anywhere that man resides.

Determination and faith paint the portrait of a young man on a journey to discovery of what would become his future bride and soulmate. Inspiring and tender, Richard.

Thank you for sharing this encounter, Richard; it certainly provides one pause for thought. Love and peace to you, Regis

Messenger of God (Short Story) - 8/7/2009 3:06:04 PM
If you focus on negativity's, then you become a negative person. We had a church study group on " The purpose driven life," I came to conclude that I had to change my view of life, before I could change my life. Thank you for " Messenger of God."

Messenger of God (Short Story) - 7/27/2009 4:55:38 PM
I know, nearly with a certainty, Richard, that, "What you focus on becomes reality," is a central theme to your life. It also is illustrated in your pendulum of life thoughts. You strike upon the very core of it here because, yes, just as you say there is meaning and direction to your life, and each one of the rest of us. God does know this even when we reject it or are seemingly unconcious of it because it is part of the free choice rule to help us understand what it's all about. The concept of sin is true, but we stop short of a true understanding of it when we limit it to concepts of condemnation, and fail to realize that it is about good spiritual and mental health as well as growth, themes you so wisely touch on here. I like the truth you voice that whoever lives with the heart of God in them also lives in the heart of God. We see these teachings often through things like the power of positive thinking, the best of sermons, etc., but I hope you always persist in putting them forward again and again. It's too easy for people to fail to focus, and instead follow a broad and easy path that ultimately deceives. You strike me on an evening when I have been diverted, and remind me that I, too, must focus on what is truly important. So tragic is the person who focuses on atheism or agnosticism, and never moves ahead. Bless you for accepting the mission of putting it forward.........Jerry

Messenger of God (Short Story) - 7/27/2009 10:52:28 AM
Richard, I certainly can endorse the concept that God has given us a conscience to guide us in life. Sincerely, Lena

Messenger of God (Short Story) - 7/26/2009 7:52:45 AM
Richard, you had to do some soul searching to compose this thoughtful poem and it is interestingly innovative the way you recite in two voices: yours and God's. You do an excellent job as well. Good job, Richard.

Sex: Chicken or Egg? (Article) - 10/11/2009 9:35:21 PM
Hi Richard, Very succinctly, you capture and express an important truth in human relationships. However, it's not the only truth in the great arena of sex and eggs! Sex is also, especially when we are younger and more driven, a fierce itch that must be scratched and sated. So it's quite natural for two (or more) healthy people to 'scratch and screw' so to speak. Screwing for the sake of pure, naked lust is great fun - with none of the obligations that arise from a real relationship. Also, some people are inclined to experiment sexually and take a fairly detached viewpoint of their experiences. Experimentation does require a degree of detachment. So although I do not cast aspersions on the gem of wisdom you have provided here (and I mean that sincerely), there is a lot more to human sexuality than you portray. Best wishes and thanks for a wonderful piece.

Sex: Chicken or Egg? (Article) - 10/11/2009 2:37:37 PM
Richard, I'm a seventy-five year old single man (my wife passed away over five years ago) and I am in a very personal relationship with a lovely sixty-five year old woman that, because... you know, "Things" do not always work as they should, matter of fact lately -- because the brain is truly the organ of sex -- matter of fact "things" work rarely as they, or I would want them to, my girlfriend says exactly the same thing. Thank you for putting this beautiful piece forward. Mark

Sex: Chicken or Egg? (Article) - 10/11/2009 7:32:03 AM
WOW! I'm blown away by the email interest I'm getting on this simple little article posting. So, I'm going to add my email response to Cynthis Borris's review (below) so I won't feel obligated to respond to each of your individual emails. Here's what I said to Cynthia: "Thanks for stopping by my den site and for taking the time to leave a thoughtful and humorous review of my article, "Sex: Chicken or Egg?" And, yes, I read your plea about my supplying the answer, which I don't have. "My intent in posting this article was to condense the conclusion my young divorced mother and I had arrived at into two easy-to-remember sentences that an AuthorsDen mother could pass on as bits of counseling to her young daughter who might be feeling pressured by a young boyfriend to have sex "to get closer," etc. "I simply wanted to supply the mother with words that would help her daughter make a decision based on the fact that sex by itself is not going to make a relationship suddenly something of quality. I wanted to provide a tool for the mother to explain to her daughter that what she needs to focus on is finding/establishing a quality relationship and then let things flow naturally from that foundation. "Okay, Cynthia. I'm getting much too heavy and serious here. But that was the basis for my posting this article. The "Chicken and Egg" connection was only to point out that in our modern-day society, we seem to engage in sex at an ever earlier age than before, sometimes typically meaning a 13-year-old girl is having sex with her boyfriend as a routine matter in a youthful relationship. (Maybe the "pill" has influenced that kind of action.) But I wanted to offer a comment that suggests that nurturing a quality relationship is even more important than nurturing a teenage sexual relationship. Boy, there I go again getting too serious, perhaps. "Say, by the way, Cynthia, have you ever thought of contributing to something called, "Egg Soup for the Soul"? Just a thought. Again, Dear Heart, thank you so much for your interest and support. Richard P.S. I think God created the first egg which then developed and hatched into the first chicken. But I wasn't there. I'm old, but not that old.

Sex: Chicken or Egg? (Article) - 10/11/2009 7:08:30 AM
Oh so incredibly true Richard. I wish everyone knew this for themselves. Now to the ??? I think the chicken came first, otherwise who layed the egg? lol Please pray for your friend not to give in but to seek other rewarding kinds of relationships and to get hugs from safe people who won't trespass over her vulnerability. Hugs, J'nia

Sex: Chicken or Egg? (Article) - 10/10/2009 8:07:31 PM
Okay Richard, Great advice and so true but what of the chicken and the egg? Cynthia

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 10/1/2009 1:34:59 AM
Some good information, as it was when it was posted as an extract of self-defense for women guru Pat Malone nearly a decade ago...check out the Snopes entry for a point-by-point analysis (the Crying Baby ruse has never been used by a serial killer, for instance, and the elbow move is considered ). Also note that 85% of all rapes occur when the victim or attacker(s) are under the influence of alcohol. If a woman takes care not to drink in an unfamiliar, unsecured environment, and to not hang out with guys who are getting drunk, she greatly enhances her odds.

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 9/30/2009 3:28:23 AM
EXCELLENT piece, Richard. Thank you. I'm putting it on my Facebook and Twitter pages and sending it to friends. Well done! JD

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 9/29/2009 10:08:42 PM
I would suggest for everyone to get a trusted friend to practice the 'under arm pinching' so as to get in the habit. That way, you won't be caught in a panic when something truly did happen (knock wood) cause your body would have the reflex to go for gold. I'd also suggest getting in the habit of locking the doors of your vehicle either you're in it or not. You know what they say, better be safe than sorry!

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 9/29/2009 10:21:20 AM
Dear Richard, Thank you for the most informative and enlightening article. I am going to post it on my facebook page and tell all my friends about the tips. Jacky

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 9/29/2009 10:04:14 AM
Richard, I was in State Law Enforcement for twenty years. What you write is Extremely important and informative. People need to understand, criminals choose what is easy. If criminals liked things difficult, they would work. If you appear to be difficult, a criminal will pass you by. Example: A purse snatcher will not choose a women with a purse over her neck and shoulder. They choose the women holding the purse in her hand. I think your advise is, Don't be an easy target.

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 9/29/2009 9:35:12 AM

Through the Eyes of a Rapist (Article) - 9/29/2009 8:58:52 AM
Extremely important, great advice, Richard. I'm going to send it on to family members. I sometimes blunder in the big cities because in the culture here, you say hi or good morning to small-town people you meet walking if you are the only ones there. I'm afraid I frightened a few women I didn't need to by automatically speaking up when they weren't accustomed to it. I also once was asked by a woman I didn't know to escort her to her car because she was frightened by another person. I flatter myself by thinking I must have looked more respectable to her..........Jerry

As men look at this in a much different way then women, for many men, myself included, love and sex were always opposite sides of the same coin and it was only as I grew older, much older, did I then realize that love and sex can be completely separate emotions. Your friend, Mark

Sex is foreplay for love.

Pleasures of the flesh are an abyss within the array of interpretations & expressional pursuits… & also it is very important to know there are no greater pleasures of the flesh than those which are expressed through the hands of love… It is so wonderful to say “I Lust You…” (and to offer it’s touch) But it is so much more to show the caress of “I Love You…” Much Love to You Dearest :) Vickie
