Overview: It’s love at first sight when US Naval Officer Jamie Morrison meets Caterina Lo Gado, the beautiful daughter of an aristocratic wine-making family, at an opera in Sicily. Their passionate love unfolds amidst the Sicilian backdrop. Marrying after a tantalizing year, they move to Boston, Philadelphia and then Atlanta where Jamie’s multi-million dollar sales career reaches a crisis. While pursuing a huge contract, he’s sorely tempted by his voluptuous, young PA, and he encounters an autocratic and unethical customer chief executive. Will these two individuals wreck his marriage and his career? Review: In his first novel Mr. Peace has spun a tale of the moral dilemmas confronting his protagonist both in his personal and professional life. Jamie Morrison, a likeable, intelligent, up and coming young executive with his company's power generation group has the opportunity for the biggest sale deal of his career. The intricacies and machinations of closing the deal make for exciting and absorbing reading. Lots of tension there. In the meantime his wife, who has played the corporate gypsy as he climbed the corporate ladder, finds herself living in a town where she feels she doesn't fit in. Caterina is a stay at home mom with two young daughters and a Downs Syndrome little boy who keep her busy, but she knows something is missing. Tension at home, too. As the business deal reaches its conclusion, Jamie discovers that it will only become reality if he does something unethical. Tempted by the attractiveness and sexiness of his personal assistant, he faces another dilemma, as he considers cheating on his wife. In a delightful way, the chapters move back and forth from the present business dealings and home life to the story of their personal life. These chapters tell how he met his wife when he was a naval officer in port in Sicily. Seeing this beautiful woman at an opera, he manages to engage her in conversation and she later agrees to lunch with him. Her family owns a winery and he visits there. Their relationship develops into love. As her mother observes their obvious attraction and feelings and scared that they will marry and go to America, she warns her daughter about "fishing in foreign seas." However, to no avail, as the young couple do marry. He leaves the navy, goes to work for a large manufacturing company, and they first settle in the Boston area. Other chapters detail their early married life, birth of children, and his progression in the company. As an aside, for those readers who only think Mafia when they hear the word Sicily, it should be noted that the chapters in Sicily provide wonderful insights into the history, culture and people of this island with which many readers might not be familiar. Mr. Peace has created two very appealing characters in Jamie and Caterina. We are rooting for him to figure out how to "do the right thing" in business and for him and Caterina to solve this temporary glitch in their relationship. At times it was difficult to keep all the business “personages straight

Overview: Religious zeal and passionate dogma can combine with an individual’s psychodynamic vulnerability and proclivity to be powerful motivators behind the recruitment of homegrown terrorists. In this book, Peter A. Olsson, MD, applies his years of work with disordered personalities to the psychological understanding of why seemingly ordinary Americans turn into murderers of their countrymen. He identifies the psychodynamic patterns in the lives of those who become "homegrown terrorists" and commit acts of cold-blooded murder or acts of terror. Olsson examines twenty detailed case histories of individuals—often youths or young adults—to provide theoretical and practical understanding of homegrown terrorists. The book focuses on individuals that include Timothy McVeigh; Ted Kaczynski, a.k.a. "The Unabomber"; the "Shoe-Bomber" Richard Reid; Colleen LaRose, a.k.a. "Jihad Jane"; Nidal Malik Hasan, an American-born physician psychiatrist and former U.S. Army officer who opened fire on American troops at Fort Hood, Killeen, TX, killing 13 and injuring more than 30; and Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tzarnaev, the two brothers charged with placing pressure cooker bombs at the finish line area of the 2013 Boston Marathon. This book also delves into topics such as distinguishing between "good charisma" in a youth versus "evil charisma" and recognizing the characteristics of a healthy group or leader versus those with unhealthy motivations. Indoctrination techniques by Al Qaeda recruiters and the subtle processes found in so called self-radicalization via the internet are discussed in detail. Such subject matter will be of interest and importance to anyone, from concerned citizens and parents to teachers and terrorism specialists.

4 Sable Shadow & The Presence Adult Fiction Author: William Peace

Overview: This is a fictional autobiographical novel of Henry Lawson, who at a young age hears strange voices which, at first, he does not recognise. He attributes one voice to ‘Sable Shadow’, a confidant of the devil, and the other to The Presence, a representative of God. In high school, Henry is introduced to the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre, and he begins to see life in existential terms, while not infringing on his rudimentary Christian beliefs. Upon Henry’s entry into the world of business, he receives guidance from Sable Shadow; this advances him to a high corporate level. With his career nearly at its peak, he suffers a series of devastating tragedies. He feels tormented and attempts suicide. With the help of his wife, and a psychiatrist with whom he engages in existential dialogue, he constructs a successful, new Identity. The novel follows Henry’s growing and selective acceptance of existentialism, and his efforts to make it a personal guide to living rather than a series of abstractions. The novel has philosophical, psychological and theological dimensions, but it is firmly set in the every-day world of good and evil, triumph and tragedy.
Review: Bill Peace has done it again. His latest book, Sable Shadow and the Presence, which has already won several awards, combines a clever plot with thought provoking discussions on good and evil, the contradictions and complexities of life, and the meaning of relationships. The book is written by the main character, Henry Lawson, in autobiographical form. It is difficult to sustain the first person voice and not have the reader tire of it, but Mr. Peace has managed to make the story interesting, readable, and anything but tiring. We meet Henry's parents, learn about their individual personalities and the way their relationship develops over a long marriage and his very likeable, but different from him, sister, who is also his friend. His grandfather and uncles seem to Henry to be more successful than his father and Henry admires them, while not yet understanding his father or his motivations. As he matures, he grows in his understanding of his mother and his father is able to help them through this crisis in their marriage. We follow Henry through college, his success in business, his marriage to a woman he deeply loves. There are some wonderful vignettes describing the world of office politics and what some people do to get ahead. Everything seems to be going just the way Henry has planned until a tragic fire in a plant in Mexico that he technically supervises results in the deaths of many people. Sentenced to jail in Mexico, his career over, he begins to think about what is really important in life and when he is released turns his life in a completely different direction. Mr. Lawson explains in the first chapter what the title means. Sable Shadow and the Presence are two voices that Henry begins to hear as a child. Lest you think that Henry is just some closet
186 schizophrenic, that is not the case. These two represent "good" and "evil" and Henry hears them the way we all do when we are making a decision, whether it be a serious moral one, like deciding to have an extra-marital relationship or something more practical like choosing a career. How many of us have felt/heard those voices arguing inside of us, each presenting a different way of looking at the problem., As in previous books, Mr. Peace explores questions of religion. In Efraim's Eye and The Iranian Scorpion he investigated Islam and its tenets. In Sin and Contrition different branches of Christianity were examined. In this book he presents the thesis that existentialism is not necessarily in conflict with the beliefs of Christians. Not everyone will agree with him, but he posits some compelling arguments to support his ideas. As in all his previous books, the research is amazing. Many famous authors employ researches. Mr. Peace does all of his own and does a superb job with it. One of the things I like best about Mr. Peace's writing is that one is able to read on so many different levels. His plots are well thought out and his characters developed nicely. One is anxious to turn the page and find out what will happen next. But when the story is over, one is left thinking about the ideas that have been raised. What are good and evil? What makes success and how do we measure it? What makes something moral and something immoral? It is easy to see why it has won awards.

187 Sin & Contrition Adult Fiction Author: William Peace

Overview: Sin & Contrition follows the lives of six teenagers, classmates from different backgrounds, from the age of thirteen to sixty-two. This captivating and riveting novel charts the diverse journeys of three boys: Gary, LaMarr and Gene; and three girls: Ellen, Bettina and Josie, as they experience various transgressions, and face life-changing decisions, all against a background of secular, moral and religious debate. Fascinating, informative and highly entertaining, Sin & Contrition is a candid portrait of human vulnerability, and will provoke thoughtful and unique, personal insights. The reader will discover an extraordinary literary experience within its pages. Review: What is sin and what is contrition? In exploring these issues, Bill Peace has written a page turner in his new novel Sin and Contrition, as he follows the lives of three males and three females from early adolescence through middle age. As with all of us, these characters confront life's issues - schooling, relationships, families, faith, careers all requiring choices. An additional character in the form of the pastor of a local church injects questions humans deal with throughout their lives - is there a God, does He act in our lives, and for Christians, what is the meaning of Jesus? A most intriguing and unique device is the "epilogue" where Mr. Peace interviews each one of the characters and asks them to examine their consciences, so to speak. As they look back on their lives, do they have any regrets? What would they do differently? What would they say about some of the moral choices they made? The reader reacts to the justifications presented by the characters, but also considers the responses in terms of his/her own life choices. The book is compelling and thought provoking at the same time. I look forward to Mr. Peace's next book.

Overview: Abused, sold by his jealous brothers into slavery, and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, life as a refugee was far from easy for Joseph, the dreamer. How was he to cope with life’s challenges and experiences as a friendless, dejected slave? Follow his Old testament adventures and take a fresh look at the old familiar story of one of Judaism’s greatest patriarchs.
Review: By Mike Billington - He was handsome, intelligent and a dreamer; boastful, however, and a tattle-tale. He was destined for greatness and yet was cast into a pit and later sold by his own brothers into slavery. Joseph, son of Jacob, led a heroic life and his is one of the Bible’s most-beloved stories of courage in the face of adversity, of faithfulness not only to God but to the men who held him in bondage, of perseverance and of forgiveness. In “A Heart of Dreams” author John Berry presents this famous story in careful, precise language that opens the reader’s eyes to a deeper understanding of Joseph’s journey from best-beloved son to slave; from prisoner to the second-most powerful man in Egypt. Berry relates Joseph’s story in a narrative that can be easily understood by modern readers who might have difficulty following the sometimes archaic language of the Bible. He also takes special care to point out the similarities between life 4,000-plus years ago and life in the fast-paced 21st Century. He, for example, notes that Jacob’s family was, for all practical purposes, the dictionary definition of what today we would call “dysfunctional.” “If this family were alive today,” he writes, “Joseph, at the very least, would be on the ‘at risk register’ under close scrutiny.” In doing so, Berry makes his commentary on the life of Joseph not only easy to understand but also relevant to people who are struggling in today’s equally uncertain world. “A Heart of Dreams” is not long – approximately 100 pages – but that does not lessen its impact. In addition to the narrative and commentary, Berry provides readers with boxes of information that help make the story of Joseph easier to understand. He defines terms that we think we know based upon today’s understanding of the words but which meant something else entirely in Joseph’s time. The word “rest” today, for example, usually means time spent away from work and could include anything from having a cup of tea in the kitchen to napping on the couch. In Joseph’s day, however, it meant a period of spiritual renewal. These info-boxes make his book extremely easy to understand. Throughout the book, Berry also asks readers to think about what has been written. He constantly poses questions that are designed to make us examine our own lives and the choices that we have made and will make in the future. This makes “A Heart of Dreams” more than the simple retelling of a story many readers are already familiar with and, instead, turns it into a guide for living a Christian life. And that
6 makes it a valuable book to read not once but many times. By Acacia Slaton - John Berry in his biblical commentary titled, "The Heart of Dreams," retells the biblical story of Joseph. I will not go into all the details of Joseph's life as most are familiar with his story found in Genesis. However, I will say that John Berry's account is very encouraging and applicable to believers. He details the life of Joseph to remind the follower of Christ that serving God is not an easy task. However, we can look at the life of Joseph and see God's faithfulness and grace upon His life as a result of his perseverance and willingness to hold firmly to his faith despite betrayal, enslavement, and imprisonment. Joseph maintained his hope in the promises of God unveiled to him during his youth in the form of dreams. I recommend this book to Bible study groups or individuals who need to be reminded that in moments of uncertainty our greatest miracle can be birthed if we faint not and look to Jesus-the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). John Berry includes discussions questions throughout the book and concludes the commentary by reflecting back on all that was taught and how we can personalize these lessons to our own lives. My favorite quote from the book: "Joseph had been let down by so many people, yet ironically other people helped him out of prison. God has such a wonderful sense of irony. He almost expects us not to trust people after so many negative experiences, but then he uses human contact to save us and bring his plan to fruition. Such are the mysteries of God."

Overview: Frisby’s memoir, Ain’t All Good, Ain’t All Bad, looks back at his own life’s trajectory—including family lore going back several generations. With sharp wisdom and a touch of wry humor, he explores changing social dynamics around race, homosexuality, women’s rights, and domestic abuse. Some stories are fun and quirky, like when Frisby’s brother tried to bury him alive. And while he celebrates the good times, he doesn’t mince words about the bad. As the title indicates, life is a mishmash of ups and downs. Through it all, Frisby recognizes the truly important things: family, tenacity, and the ability to learn from mistakes and grow as a human being. Review: By Michael Facchinello Ain't All Good Ain't All Bad is a fascinating glimpse into Americana through the life of a very interesting man. It was great from a historical perspective, but it also provided a subjective take on what matters in life -- intellectually, professionally, and virtuously. It truly gets at what it means to lead a good life; a good life that is not filled with rainbows and lollipops, but one filled with challenges, adversities and older brothers willing to burry you alive to prove a point. I do not believe in self help books, and this is not one, but this book helped me reflect on my life and connect with the oft idealized "Greatest Generation" in a way I could incorporate the noble tradition of past into my modern lifestyle. I think this is because the writing style connected me with the author on a personal level emotionally and intellectually, allowing me to try on the authors brain and take it for a spin.

Few individuals are more qualified to tell this story than Montgomery Granger, a citizen soldier, family man, dedicated educator, and Army Reserve Medical Service Corps officer involved in one of the most intriguing military missions of our time. Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay is about that historic experience, and it relates not only what it was like for Granger to live and work at Gitmo, but about the sacrifices made by him and his fellow Reservists serving around the world." Andrew Carroll, editor of the New York Times bestsellers War Letters and Behind the Lines. Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay, or "Gitmo: The Real Story," is a "good history of medical, security, and intelligence aspects of Gitmo; also, it will be valuable for anyone assigned to a Gitmo-like facility." Jason Wetzel, Field Historian, Office of Army Reserve History U.S. Army Reserve. Captain Montgomery Granger found himself the ranking Army Medical Department officer in a joint military operation like no other before it - taking care of terrorists and murderers just months after the horrors of September 11, 2001. Granger and his fellow Reservists end up running the Joint Detainee Operations Group (JDOG) at Guantanamo Bay's infamous Camp X-Ray. In this moving memoir, Granger writes about his feelings of guilt, leaving his family and job back home, while in Guantanamo, he faces myriad torturous emotions and self-doubt, at once hating the inmates he is nonetheless duty bound to care for and protect. Through long distance love, and much heartache, Granger finds a way to keep his sanity and dignity. Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay is his story. Review: Very Intense Read, May 30, 2012, C.R. Hiatt, C. C. Consultants. Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay: A Memoir of a Citizen Warrior is a very intense and highly detailed account of the author's experience at the prison known to most as Gitmo. It is not a book you can read in a short sitting, but one that you need to take your time and process the information. Not much was known about Gitmo until images and accounts of abuse surfaced all over the news and internet blogs. Reporters and commentators had a field day with the "alleged abuse" talks. Before thorough investigations were conducted, the troops were depicted in a negative light for the world to see. The terrorists' rights suddenly became more important than the men and women who were sacrificing their lives for their country. As the information flowed back and forth in media circles, more questions than answers flowed through the minds of the average American. Where could they go to get the truth? Montgomery Granger had to stand face-to-face with terrorists at Gitmo. But, in Saving Grace at Guantanamo Bay, he gives detailed accounts - totally opposite of the images depicted by mainstream media - and shows the restraint and respect our military continuously bestowed upon the prisoners. This book is a must read for anyone who would like a true account, as taken from the journal by a man who
14 was there, and not from rumor and innuendo. Highly recommend. http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Grace-Guantanamo- Bay-Citizen/product- reviews/1609112830/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

It comprises five parts: The Early Years, A First Career, A Second Career, A Third Career and an Epilogue. Those significant periods, each one filled with unusual events, and ranging over sixty years depict the harrowing obstacles she had to overcome in order to achieve freedom and serenity while steeped in depression and anxiety. THE EARLY YEARS describe her childhood and education until she starts to earn a living. A FIRST CAREER describes her working environment in the fifties and explains her marriage; it covers married life and motherhood, through untreated post-partum depression. A SECOND CAREER relates the author's university experience as she goes back to school, from acquiring a B.A. to a Ph. D., in spite of great opposition and lack of support. This period also deals with various calamities: children's severe illnesses, teenagers' misconduct, her own bout with cancer, a dysfunctional family life. It relates her futile attempts at separating from her husband and her failure to secure a position in academe due to discrimination and ageism. A THIRD CAREER depicts her joining the Justice System, how it works, how she coped, how this prestigious position finally allows her to become financially independent, through a severely conflicted relationship with a daughter-in- law, and a professional catastrophe. It describes the protracted legal and physical process of achieving a definite separation from her husband due to his relentless opposition, as well as ineffective psychotherapy. The Memoir ends with her spouse finally and definitely relinquishing the family abode. The EPILOGUE tells how, when you think you've been through it all, it can always get worse but you once again survive, the stronger for having triumphed over adversity. However this book is unequivocally about RESILIENCE and DETERMINATION. While maintaining SUSPENSE Throughout the narrative, the author manages to show how she overcomes the obstacles which keep springing up in her way, PREVAILS and ACHIEVES HER GOALS. IT IS TRULY A STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING. Review: By Amazon Customer on November 19, 2013 Format: Paperback Annemarie Duparc’s What Will Not Kill You is a unique work of memoir non-fiction. They say that what doesn’t kill will make you stronger. In this book, Annemarie tells her life story and how her various adversities did just that. Over a period of 60 years, she had to deal with negligent parents, institutional abuse, sexism, rejection when it came to want of a higher education, medical problems, a troubled marriage, addiction, and even a little incest. From which, she grew resilient and, at the risk of sounding cliché, managed to grow stronger and become someone people could look up to. This inspirational book was touching, entertaining, and, at times shocking and even humorous. Her story grabs the reader and makes
17 them want to root for the author, even at the lowest point in her life. My favorite part of the story was the message. A reminder to us all that even through adversity, one can retain a sense of accomplishment and overcome anything if they try. The main problem I noticed in the book, however, was that the layout was the writing was a little jumpy, but it didn’t affect the reader’s ability to become engrossed in Annemarie’s world. Readers who like endearing, engaging, inspirational memoir non-fiction will enjoy reading this book. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: Originally written in 1969, when he was twenty-four, Paul’s book initially describes his early years in Bristol, England, a brief torrid equatorial experience, and subsequent immigration by ship to Canada in 1953. Numerous challenges and adaptations spring from this major uprooting. We share them through Paul’s interesting and descriptive record of growing up in the fifties and sixties, initially in rural Alberta, followed by later childhood and adolescent experiences in a small town on the Ottawa River, west of Montreal. Next comes life in Montreal during the sixties, with all the social, cultural, and musical changes. As Paul’s story goes along life’s road, he fills it with many unique, clearly creative descriptions of Nature during all seasons. Challenges, like a negative father-son relationship, are more than balanced by bonding with a best friend’s family, time and escapades with other friends, and young early parenthood. Available in soft-cover bulk orders, 100 copies minimum. Foreign translation rights available. Review: "Buckle up and take a wild ride through the 50’s and 60’s ! Paul Tagney’s new ebook, “Family and Love”, gives an unflinchingly honest and gritty account of growing up in Canada as a baby boomer. And this baby boomer did not have an easy childhood. Running throughout the story is the motif of Paul trying to come to terms with the negative impact of his father. He searches for meaningful connection through each of these early stages with little success. But this search is truly fascinating, at times disturbing and sometimes downright harsh. Written when he was 24 years old, Paul manages to capture vividly the voice of each stage in his early wounded life The young boy, the awkward adolescent, the rebellious teenager and finally the young and confused adult. In staccato-like paragraphs he recounts a huge variety of experiences such as the often harsh and insensitive treatment of his father, his awe at the many beauties of the Canadian landscape, nasty attacks of boyhood bullies, his many sexual experiences, and his profound love for his newborn son. “Family and Love” is an intensely personal portrait of one young man’s attempt to find redemption and it’s one helluva read."

The Dutch had intended to stay neutral at the outbreak of the war, as their military was no match for the Nazi hordes. Within five days, Holland had fallen and the German occupation was underway. The five ensuing years were among the darkest chapters in Dutch history, culminating in the "hunger winter" of 1944, during which 30,000 Dutch citizens died of hunger and cold. Even today, people like the author, who grew up during that time, are more prone to heart attacks as a result of the physical stress of those years. But despite having capitulated so quickly in the face of the overwhelming might of the German war machine, there were many heroes in Holland during the occupation; people like the author’s father, a civilian supervisor of marine supplies, who robbed the Germans blind and gave stolen food and clothing to Dutch people in need. Eventually his activities attracted the attention of the German authorities and he was imprisoned. Thankfully Hans’ mother was able to stage a dramatic escape with the help of the family doctor. The Silent Heroes is a true story of heroism, survival and resistance during a time of fear, despair, and hardship. Review: "Very, interesting and enlightening book. Many things I did not know about the time of the Nazi occupation of Holland. The book meet all my expectations, and I would most certainly recommend this book. I feel everyone should read, a terrible time in the history of the world, and should make us thankful for the courage of these wonderful people. We should all be vigilant and aware, so that this never happens again. Thank you Hans, for sharing your most frightening and difficult time with us." - Michael Lamsley, Chino Valley, Arizona Awards: There was a large article in the Sun and News on Aug the 4th, and a week later in de Reminder.

In Where Is Loosey Goosey?, Peaches' best friend Maggie, asks Peaches to help her find her favorite toy, Loosey Goosey. Maggie lost Loosey at a local lake when they were out walking the day before. Since Peaches believes it's important to help your best friend whenever possible, she puts on her "private eye hat" and sets off for the lake to help Maggie find her favorite toy. In their quest to find Loosey, they come across several little creatures who live at the lake. Find out what happens when Peaches helps a friend in need. A fun adventure awaits you in this exciting detective tale of tails. Look for other adventures of Peaches the Private Eye Poodle, such as Finding Dipsey Doodle, and The Missing Muffin Caper. Review: Peaches and her best friend Maggie are such endearing little dogs. In this episode Peaches has another mission. She needs to help Maggie find her missing toy, Loosey Goosey, that she left at the lake. My favorite photo of Peaches is when she is looking up at Mommy and they both know that she must help Maggie. They are so in tune with each other. Unlike the other Peaches stories where the dogs and cats help each other this is the first story where Peaches and her friend interact with the woodland animals to solve a mystery. We meet Sandy the doe, a squirel and a chipmunk that all help locate Loosey Goosey. They all seem to know that this toy is a very special friend to someone and must be kept in a safe place until found. All of the Peaches books are terrific for circletime but they also make great bedtime stories because Peaches always takes a well deserved nap after her work is done.

I read this story recently at preschool and the children think that Peaches' school looks like nursery school! Peaches has a lot of friends that help her and they are so cute especially when they are in their car seats going to check out a possible family for Foster. A nice touch to this story is the school yearbook featuring photos of no less than 79 of Peaches' doggie friends. I now have all four Peaches books in my collection at school. The book covers are each so attractive that children reach for them often in the day. Also, these books makes a very nice gift.

Overview: Eleven-year-old Meg definitely does not want to be left in Australia with her aunt and uncle, even if they are nice people, while her father goes to the South Pole to make a documentary about endangered animals. It’s so unfair, particularly when he’s always taken her in the past when he visited other countries. But before, she always had Anna to take care of her and tutor her at home. To make things even worse, she now has to go to public school. It doesn’t take Meg long to realize that there’s something weird about Peter, the boy next door. He quotes statistics like a parrot, leading Meg to believe he has a computer where his brain should be! When she sees Peter sneaking out of his bedroom to disappear into the bush behind his house in the middle of the night, she follows him to discover where he goes. If she had known what was hidden in that clearing in the bush, perhaps she might not have been so eager to discover his secret.

Overview: Moore Field School and the Mystery is the start of an exciting children's series featuring Samantha, whose parents teach at her school, Moore Field School in Manchester, England. Her best friend is Jessica. But Moore Field School is about to close down. At the last minute, the headmistress, Miss Moore, moves the school to Lakeview, a place she has always liked. Just what is the mystery at Moore Field School? Before the first term starts at Lakeview, the students go to a fun camp where they hear about a local haunted house. Meanwhile, some scary men are searching for long-lost trophies that they will do anything to find. They even search Miss Moore's office for clues to where the trophies could be hidden. What is happening with the trophies and how is Moore Field School involved? Liam Moiser lives in the port town of Goole in Yorkshire, England. This is his first book. Review: Liam Moiser's debut book, a mystery for Tweens, is intriguing and full of British flavor! "Moore Field School and the Mystery" provides not only an introduction to some memorable characters, but also an authentic look into the life of relatively affluent British school children. Written as an introductory story, setting the stage for further stories in a series, Moiser sets the tone and pace with realistic dialogue, and hints of future supernatural interaction with the introduction of ghosts in the closing chapters. I really enjoyed the ending, but you'll have to read that for yourself...

80 The Opal Dragon General Fiction

Keywords: Opal, Dragon, Australia
Book Details: ISBN: 9781503215926 Publish Year: 2015 Pages: 387 Publisher: (none) e-book - PDF - $ 9.99
Overview: The Dragon starts his life in the Philippines on one of the smaller islands. Ali is the son of one of the town’s local prostitutes Zeena. He works the markets looking for customers for his mother, who is starting to lose her looks due to her age and the volatile lifestyle she has lead over the years. Drugs in her early years did not help. Zeena’s lifestyle has not helped Ali in his upbringing. He has been beaten by her customers on many occasions as he has tried to stop his mother being beaten by violent customers. Ali launches into a life of crime after robbing and stabbing an elderly jewellery trader on his way home from work one night. The police are looking for Ali who slips out of town to stay with his aunt Sasha in the mountains. He is with Sasha for a long time and has met a nice girl in the village. For the first time in his life the eighteen year old Ali is happy. Gentle Sasha is murdered by a young terrorist. Ali catches him and stabs him. Ali and Zeena leave their island town for Manilla. A sense of normality finds its way into their life only to be shattered by a chance meeting with a violent customer from her past. Ali and Zeena contrive a plan to murder this violent man. He is garroted with a length of wire as he is having sex with Zeena. Ali is then involved in the drug trade and is warned about a hit on his life arranged by Emelio Sanchez one of Manilla’s head drug dealers and brothel owners. Emilio has threatened to toss Zeena off the local wharf bound with chains if Ali does not show up. Ali devises a cunning plan to murder Emilio on the way home from church one Sunday. Ali burns Emilio in his car after he causes it to crash. He and Zeena leave the Philippines and catch a small ship for Australia. In Cairns Australia Ali sees his first beautiful opal. He decides on buying opals and having other people steal them for him in his new base At Coober Pedy. Ali has now conscience when it comes to pay backs to and threat to his new business. People just go missing. He now has others to do these jobs. A sense of normality enters his life. All of this is shattered when a chain of disastrous events occur over a short time. There is an intertwining of different characters that are also on a quest to find the beautiful Australian black opal. Review: Intense and graphic at times The Opal Dragon by James Calderwood is written in the tradition of action- packed noir crime fiction and Calderwood doesn’t pull his punches. Taking a tried and tested formula, he adds his own twist to deliver an original narrative where characterization is clearly his forte. Each of his characters looming large and memorable with plenty of inspired twists to his plot, whilst the dialogue is up tempo and the pace rarely lets up. It certainly isn’t a tale for the faint hearted and Calderwood hasn’t set out to create a saccharin protagonist. The odds are against Ali from the very start, the shadowy and gritty backdrops to his life resonating through every page and yet there is always a glimmer of hope. It’s this that Calderwood cleverly threads through his plot as an ever present thematic undertone and it’s this that ultimately keeps the pages turning as events in Ali’s life evolve.

Overview: Great White Shark Tales has a humorous tone with stories of great white sharks sinking a fishing boat, attacking a film crew, and even engaging in a feeding frenzy. Written in first-person and also including poetic verse, Great White Shark Tales offers a hilarious take on some common events in everyday Australia. Calderwood also spoke to his father-in-law for several stories, included in the volume, about truck-driving, World War II, and more. Review: By Cayce Hrivnak - There are not many books about the sea out there anymore. We see "The Deadliest Catch" on television but reading about it is a different story. It's nice to get another view about fishermen and their job as well as other things that occur. The different terms in this book actually teach me something new which goes nicely with the subject. Each small tale has it's own lesson. Some seem like a mini-"Tales From the Darkside" episode in a mere few pages.
If you are looking for something different. Looking for something about the sea with a thrill mixed in? My friend, pick this set up and enjoy!. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Due to Justin finding both bodies, the couple are designated police suspects. Murder just does not happen in this quiet Adelaide suburb. The murders continue and Biddy becomes an amateur sleuth to exonerate them both. Targeting Biddy, the psychotic killer eventually manages to trap her. While Justin and the police desperately search for her, Biddy is trying to survive being drugged, tortured, and observing her dog being killed, while praying they will find her in time. Review: Some people never retire and Pam Arnold is one of them. Well known to many Adelaideans for her successful talent school and childcare courses. On retiring Pam enrolled in a WEA writing course and at 82 she now has her third book underway. Murder In Tusmore Park is her first book and the main characters – Biddy and Justin – a pair of energetic 60-somethings find themselves tangled in an intriguing series of homicides, mostly taking place just over the front fence in Tusmore Park, South Australia. Familiar faces easily spring to mind as Pam sets the scene in the leafy eastern suburbs of Adelaide and on the banks of the River Murray at Mannum, with Biddy and Justin becoming both suspects and sleuths. Like a budding Agatha Christie, Pam cleverly builds suspense around a plot that twists and turns leading to a surprising grand finale, that is horrifying in its clarity. I enjoyed Biddy and Justin’s company for a few days as I read Murder In Tusmore Park. It was interesting and insightful to read a book set in Adelaide that could well be starring “your parents’ friends”. I’m keen to find out what they get up to in the series, Pacific Incident 9-11-13 and its sequel, The Procurers. Mary Taylor, Deputy Ed.

Review: Reviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers’ Favorite – Five stars. How can a spoiled French princess and a young peasant save a world inhabited by beings of myth and legend? That is the basis of Shield of the Palidine by Barbara T. Cerny. Beginning in France in the early 1600s, the tale brings seven-year-old Pierre into possession of an unusual necklace that he and his friend Guy use as the basis of all their childhood adventures. When financial hardship causes Pierre to try to sell the necklace, he and Guy meet the chubby self-serving Princess Elise, niece to the King of France. As Pierre clasps the necklace around Elise’s neck, they are both transported to a magical land – the home of creatures of Greek myth and other ancient legends that have sought refuge away from the hatred of man. Unable to stand up to the threat of destruction at the hands of the evil Asmodai as individual races, these inhabitants of the land of Amorgos look to Elise and Pierre as the fulfillment of the prophecies that tell of The Redeemer and her Consort who will come to lead them to victory. In spite of lengthy training, powerful mentors, and the possession of magic armor and weapons, will two humans live through a real life adventure and be able to defeat evil that has grown for over 2,000 years? Will all the different races agree to follow them? Tremendous action, historical references and fantastic imagination combine in Shield of the Palidine by Barbara T. Cerny to create an excellent story of hope, dedication, loss and love. An incredible number of well-developed characters, both historical and mythical, take part in several quests to find the tools mentioned by the prophecies to aid in the final battle. Elise and Pierre try to bring the quarrelsome races together in order to lead them into an epic battle that will determine the fate of Amorgos. This story is full of emotion and clearly follows the growth in maturity of the young French princess and the peasant she thinks is beneath her. It is an outstanding book for fantasy readers of all ages. https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/37375

Overview: What happens when you throw a spoiled French princess and a stinky peasant boy into the world of Greek Mythology? Chaos, intrigue, adventure, and love. Accidently discovering a portal between Earth and Amorgos, Pierre and Elise find themselves surrounded by frightful creatures from beyond their imagination. Princess Elise d’Orleans, niece to King Louis XIII, is a spoiled brat used to having everyone cater to her every need. She hates Amorgos, hates the races of people populating Amorgos, and hates the fact that everyone believes she is their Redeemer, the One to free them from enslavement of their common enemy, the Asmodai. But most of all, she hates the fact that the only other human in Amorgos is a stinky peasant that doesn’t kowtow to her every whim. Pierre Tonnelier, the village’s journeyman cooper, found an extraordinary necklace in the woods outside Chateau de Saint-Germain en Laye, a castle in the French countryside. He is forced to sell this unusual piece to pay off his father’s debts. What he didn’t contend with was it taking him on a strange journey with an egotistical royal pain in the derriere. Shield of the Palidine chronicles the journey of Elise to the true Redeemer, of Pierre to a warrior of immense abilities, and their unbridled love, despite all the tensions of class, bigotry, and intolerance. Review: Reviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers’ Favorite – Five stars. How can a spoiled French princess and a young peasant save a world inhabited by beings of myth and legend? That is the basis of Shield of the Palidine by Barbara T. Cerny. Beginning in France in the early 1600s, the tale brings seven-year-old Pierre into possession of an unusual necklace that he and his friend Guy use as the basis of all their childhood adventures. When financial hardship causes Pierre to try to sell the necklace, he and Guy meet the chubby self-serving Princess Elise, niece to the King of France. As Pierre clasps the necklace around Elise’s neck, they are both transported to a magical land – the home of creatures of Greek myth and other ancient legends that have sought refuge away from the hatred of man. Unable to stand up to the threat of destruction at the hands of the evil Asmodai as individual races, these inhabitants of the land of Amorgos look to Elise and Pierre as the fulfillment of the prophecies that tell of The Redeemer and her Consort who will come to lead them to victory. In spite of lengthy training, powerful mentors, and the possession of magic armor and weapons, will two humans live through a real life adventure and be able to defeat evil that has grown for over 2,000 years? Will all the different races agree to follow them? Tremendous action, historical references and fantastic imagination combine in Shield of the Palidine by Barbara T. Cerny to create an excellent story of hope, dedication, loss and love. An incredible number of well-developed characters, both historical and mythical, take part in several quests to find the tools mentioned by the prophecies to aid in the final battle. Elise and Pierre try to bring the quarrelsome races together
94 in order to lead them into an epic battle that will determine the fate of Amorgos. This story is full of emotion and clearly follows the growth in maturity of the young French princess and the peasant she thinks is beneath her. It is an outstanding book for fantasy readers of all ages. https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/37375 For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: Driven from her Irish home to the shores of New York, Tressa must face not only the demons of her past but somehow follow her dreams. Escaping an abusive husband and the tragic loss of her newborn child, Tressa O’Daire leaves her home of Dublin, Ireland, for the unknown shores of New York City. There, she finds work in the powerful Langley family as a nurse-maid to a baby girl. The Langleys allow Tressa, a master baker by trade, to use their baking oven and she starts a business and a new life. Ethan Langley, crippled in a riding accident that left him bound to a wheel chair, has spent the last eight years in his room escaping the embarrassment to his family and the hatred of his brother, Heaton. The only bright spot in his life is his sister, Sarah; until a certain Irish baker arrives and turns his life upside down. Their very lives are threatened when the head of the Langley household dies unexpectedly leaving the business and family fortune to Heaton. As Heaton and his wife, Victoria, bring the family to the brink of ruination, Tressa and Ethan must save whatever they can, including the budding love between them. Review: Reviewed by Rubina Ramesh for The Book Club – Five stars. The flow of the story is beautiful with each character being very much the part of the story. The evil Heaton versus the goodness of Ethan is beautifully depicted. Tressa is a beautiful person who is sensitive to all the relationships around her. She is gutsy enough to start her own business, foresighted enough to plan her future and sensitive enough to care for the less fortunate. Not to forget she was damn smart- planning the escape, landing in America and starting her business could not have been done if she did not have a sound head over her shoulder. A beautifully depicted strong character. Ethan was an equal partner. Though crippled at an early age he was the motivation behind her actions. He too comes out as a strong character as he moves out of his father’s house and makes his own living. He could have depended on Tressa, but he chose to make a life of his own. The best part I loved was the relationship between them. A sweet understand, a camaraderie which encouraged the goodness in each other.

Overview: An intricate family saga, Bed of Roses, Bed of Thorns covers the loves, losses, tragedies and joys of three generations of a family during the first half of the 20th century. It is a tale of the citizenry of Germany. While the German Armies fight their devastating battles, these ordinary citizens try to cope with the hardships, fears and heartbreaks. They witness the rampant destruction caused by the two world wars. They are affected by changing social mores, the changing role of women, and attitude toward religion. Family affairs and national events filter through young Ursula's consciousness. A central character, she is insatiably curious, a keen observer, independent thinker, and has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. From an early age, she gains access to fascinating stories of extraordinary family members. They fire Ursula's imagination and lead her to question her origin, family ties, religious belief, and her father's unexamined loyalty to authority. Central to her struggles is her relationship with her beautiful, insensitive and punishing mother. Review: Norman Edelen, Author of "After a While You Begin to Wonder". As I read the new novel Bed of Roses, Bed of Thorns by Uta Christensen, I thought: what a many-faceted story of a bygone era it is, a revisiting of the German culture of the early 20th century. While two horrendous wars were unfolding, WWI and WWII, families tried to cope with losing loved ones, being uprooted, experiencing hardships, witnessing their cities being destroyed and eventually welcoming their conquerors. In these chaotic times, Ursula Meister grows up. It is her engrossing coming-of-age story, set in a rich family saga of three generations of colorful characters. Young Ursula is precocious and insatiably curious with a mind of her own, a rich inner life and a deep-rooted love for nature. By the novel's end, every love-filled, luminous, humorous and disturbing piece has been assembled into a rich tapestry that was deeply satisfying to me. The long stories told by two minor characters of pleasures, beauty, magnanimity, love, compassion, deceptions, lies, brutality, and destruction shine even in the novel's darkest moments. Simply yet masterfully told, it is a complex, moving, ambitious and interesting work of fiction. I loved every bit of it.

Michael Sorensen, a young Californian, has a serendipitous as well as frightening encounter on China's Great Wall. A beautiful young Chinese woman, Li Juan, trips on a steep stairway above him and falls literally into his arms. If he hadn't caught her, Juan could have been killed. Michael works in Beijing as an electronics engineer. Juan is the star attraction at Beijing's elegant Blue Moon night club. The club owners' most precious asset is Juan--gorgeous, sociable, self-educated and independent. Juan decides to leave the Blue Moon for a day job to spend more time with Michael. Shortly thereafter, with seeming intent, a hit-and-run accident totals Michael's car. He is shaken, but unharmed. Hearing about the accident, Juan is terrified. After some contemplation, she believes that her former bosses may mean Michael harm and her as well. The couple flees Beijing. Leaving everything behind, they embark on a long train journey to Guangzhou that takes them through China's ancient and recent past. With greater distance from Beijing, the couple feels safer and falls passionately in love. Ultimately it is Juan, embodying her unfathomable country, who causes events to take unexpected and traumatic turns. Review: Review by: Gisela Juengling. Uta Christensen did it again! She wrote a most fascinating novel, so different from her other books. What impressed me first is her incredible knowledge of China. I learned so much about that part of the country—the historical, cultural, and political aspects—through her wonderful and detailed expositions during that long train journey. I wondered whether she followed that route herself when she visited China. The intriguing love story that Uta Christensen has so masterfully interwoven is a delightful contrast. It brings the reader back to reality, even though it does not feel quite real at times with all the premonitions hinting at a different outcome than desired. The betrayal was a shock, of course, but thinking about the planned future of the couple in California, it becomes clear that that kind of life would not have suited lovely Juan. She yearns for freedom, success, and independence—for a life that she can control herself. The intricate ideas Uta Christensen brought together in this book, and the easy-flowing style make the reading of the novel a true pleasure. I am happy she wrote this fine book, and I hope she will find a lot of excited readers. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

The ex-president narrates the account of his career to presidential biographer Dylan Johnson. During their high school years, Paul and a friend take part in a civics class trip to the state legislature, but are dissatisfied with what they witness. They decide to enter politics to improve government efficiency. During their careers, they reduce the number and size of the haphazardly formed state and local governments, and support the merging of government departments. The result is a large decrease in the cost of government operations. Removing state House of Representatives reduces funding and increases effectiveness. Collins also improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the executive branch. His new constitution produces a unicameral federal government. Collins relates how senators are now elected from near equal population senate districts, making the Senate the most powerful branch of government. The President serves at the pleasure of the Senate. As democratic principles spread throughout the world, peace and prosperity follow. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: This is the story of a child but not a child’s story. By 1976, apartheid had a firm grip on South Africa. All major protestors had fled the country, or were in jail. It was at this point that the Nationalist Government passed a senseless law that all African education was to be in Afrikaans, a language the Africans considered their oppressor’s. The students waited in vain for their parents and teachers to protest and finally took matters into their own hands challenging the monolith of Afrikanerdom. There is no doubt their brave action marked the beginning of the end of an odious system. The story follows the events surrounding the life of 13-year-old Jonah Moloi plotting the exciting events surrounding him in those tumultuous days. What was so special about this child that some, even among his own people, wanted him dead and others struggled so valiantly to keep him alive?

Overview: The serial killer got his start on an Iowa farm. Being the son of a fire and brimstone Baptist minister, Gunther Heisman killed his first victim, a young girl, in the local pond while they were practicing baptism. Gunther began studying the life of Adolf Hitler while still a young boy. When he reached the age of 21, he started a killing spree in the Midwest without having any kind of plan; he just knew he had to kill. Right before he sets off for the West Coast to begin killing there, he goes into the desert to fast and pray. It is there that he finds A Perfect Solution. His system of murder would be based on the pruning system, much like the way people prune tree limbs to make the whole tree healthy. The way he saw it, his mission was to kill as many people as possible from a single segment of the population before moving on to another group. His solution was completely different from Hitler’s Final Solution, which was based on race. This difference of opinion causes friction between Gunther and Hitler because Gunther could see, hear, and talk to Hitler. This chilling novel offers a perfect read for suspense fans.

According to author Peter Alan Olsson, “I was jolted to my core when I learned that a college friend’s son died at the Rev. Jim Jones’ side at Jonestown. Two books and over 30 years later, I am still searching for answers, especially about terror prevention.” This fascinating yet terrifying book probes into the psyche of a schoolboy who deeply needs therapy. On the playground of Saint Thomas Moore School in Houston, Sister Agnes hears young Will Powers’ fiery funeral sermon for a dead bird. At the insistence of his teachers, Will reluctantly stops his explosive eulogy. Will’s parents have apparently turned their back on their son and won’t return the school’s calls. The school psychologist turns for help to a trusted psychiatrist friend, who is able to delve into Will’s perspective and what is driving him. But can this troubled boy be helped? The novel is disturbing, but deeply necessary. Perhaps the Rev. Jim Jones at one time was also considered A Boyish God. The story is about the possibilities and profound difficulties in changing destinies. Unlike many melodramatic Hollywood movie scenarios, such changes occurring in psychotherapy are deceptively quiet…muted. Psychotherapy involves many experiences, anxiety, fear, fascination, wonder, boredom, humor/laughter, anger, sadness and often pain. But, the more severe and ominous forms of pain, destruction, and even deaths that are prevented, go unheralded…unnoticed; because existentially, they like a suicide prevented… never exist. Any genuine change in psychotherapy is always a story about two or more lives. People receiving psychotherapy, psychotherapists, counselors, and those in the helping professions will identify with this story. Other readers are sure welcome to join the journey. Review: Novellas have many ways of being born. This one found its genesis when, after reading the author’s first book Malignant Pied Pipers of Our Time, the janitor asked, "Hey, Doc. If you treated Reverend Jim Jones when he was twelve-years old, could 918 deaths at Jonestown have been prevented?" "Maybe," The author replied. Then this novella started unfolding. It is partly a memoir about the love of psychotherapy work. The story is about the possibilities and profound difficulties in spotting false Gods and changing destructive destinies. Unlike many melodramatic Hollywood movie scenarios, such changes occurring in psychotherapy are deceptively quiet...often muted. Psychotherapy involves many emotional experiences...anxiety, fear, fascination, wonder, boredom, humor/laughter, anger, sadness and often pain. However, the more severe and ominous forms of pain, destruction, and, even a death prevented, go unheralded. They are unnoticed because existentially, they like a suicide prevented... never exist. Hopefully Will Powers and his treatment can help thwart the evil of destructive cults by increasing awareness of the psychological dynamics behind the spawning of destructive leaders and
110 their minions. In essence... be wary of all gurus! For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

For those suffering from katsaridaphobia (fear of cockroaches) in particular or insects in general, there is a tale you will absolutely hate! Did you ever wonder what would happen if you met the "Gatherer of Souls" before it was your time? Are you a reader a bookworm? After reading the story you may reconsider! What if you met the woman of your dreams and found out she was worse than your worst nightmare? Read these stories and more if you dare! Remember, there is a very thin veil hidden in the shadows that separate reality from the unknown. Review: By Wordsmith - I knew by the end of the first page of the first story that I was in for a wild ride! The stories are creative, well written, and surprisingly well researched. There is great diversity in content and I couldn't wait to read what came next. I'm now on to book 2. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: The central location for this novel is in the sylvan valleys surrounding the Tasmanian township of Waterloo, near Geeveston. ." Where the Wild Daffodils Grow is a romantic fiction with drama and ironic twists which involves a group of people from various walks of life including convicts, who make the long journey from England and Ireland to a new future. In doing so, they experience romance and violence during the 1800s through to the 1950s in a small country village in Tasmania. This historical novel covers the lives of over 4 generations of several families who find themselves on the same boat to settle across the world and decide to make their homes in the same area where they form a community and intermarry. The eye witness accounts of a family relative are discovered and explain the hardships, violence, tragedies and romances based on some facts which ring with authenticity. The story line is separated into two sections, the first book covers the backgrounds of the individuals and their family history and how they arrive in the same place. The second book tells mainly of the Cavenders and their extended family and issues which separate and reunite some of the characters. The eldest son Ricky joined the army in 1914. In France he was among a handful of survivors in his regiment. He did more than survive he made a conversion to the church, fathered more children and re-enlisted when World War 11 started. This in an incredulous story that will have wide appeal. ‘Where the Wild Daffodils Grow’ was written by the late Hannah Amelia Holbrook, with an assist many years later by her granddaughter, Elizabeth Rickards. Hannah wrote a book and several unpublished manuscripts before she died of lung cancer at the age of 53. Her granddaughter, Elizabeth, was entrusted with Hannah’s works, but never examined them closely because she married young and had six children to raise. She says: "Now retired, I finally had the time to look at my grandmother’s scripts. I was impressed and added to her first book, giving it a different title. I updated it and put in more romance, sex, and drama. I think she would be very proud of the end result. I’m only sorry that neither she nor my parents are alive to see the finished book, but I hope they are with me in spirit. Hannah Holbrook and her grand daughter Elizabeth Rickards have achieved an intimate, honest, raw, even sexy dialogue with readers say several critics and the book was certainly worth the wai For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: ‘The Distant Dreams: Elusive Hopes’ is a collection of short stories written during three decades of author’s career in the government service. Most of his stories are based on the impressions gained from the people and places he has visited. His stories have Indian/ Asian and African backdrop and the narration generally covers the rural working class. Two stories are set in the back drop of former Soviet Republic of Georgia where the author worked as an International Monetary Fund’s Treasury Advisor for three years. The conditions in Georgia during 1994-1996 were appalling. The new economic order had shattered the life of the common man, leaving no jobs, gas or power in the bitter winters. The author says, “I was amazed by the indomitable will power of the Georgians to survive in such conditions. I also saw the refugees from north-western Georgia, driven out from their homes by the Abkhazians suffering under wretched conditions.” A few stories reflect the effect of economic globalization on poor countries like Malawi where also, the author worked for three years. Its main export of tobacco leaves shrinked with growing global opinion against smoking and its tourism potential was never harnessed since the British who left the country in 1964 were not interested in creating any infrastructure to boost its economy. Prejudice, harsh and insulting behaviour towards the local natives by Asian settlers is the theme of some other stories.

Overview: For centuries, the Catholic Church has been teaching lies to its followers. Catholic clergymen pretend to be “representatives of God,” having the power to forgive the sins of other men during confession. They claim to be able to transform the host, providing wafers and wine to represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ, and the faithful eat and drink it as cannibals. Priests say their mass is a repetition of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, when Jesus died and resurrected almost 2,000 years ago. Yet God forbids us to communicate with dead people, so why would the church want Catholics to accept the great number of “saints” and “virgins” who are dead people?

Overview: The book of art work contains descriptive works in three parts. The first section contains a run of “stills” from an imaginary screen play the artist conjured up. Over time, as the images developed, a sequence of chronological flow, time and story ensued. This all happened by accident but eventually he was able to incorporate all the images into a WWII screen play with two separate operating theaters, Indo-Europe and North Africa. Somehow he managed to weave a story line of five disparted girls and the dilemma of the father being forced to develop biological warfare for the Germans. This is exemplified by the intertwined bug motif. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

It is a diary of beauty and terror on winter’s icy roadways, skill and nerve to drive past other big rigs toppled by high winds, or a fun sight like girls in a limo giving us the arm-jerk gesture, “Honk Your Horn,” and relief when a doe and fawn beside a highway do not wander into our headlights. Oh, and knowing what “a gator on the zipper” means, or “a bear with a gun at milepost . . .” Sitting in the cab of a big rig is as high up as sitting in a chair on the roof of an ordinary car—what a view. We wish you’d ride along with us— from the comfort of your own chair—because trucking turned out to be a real Adventure of a Lifetime. Illustrated in color.

Overview: Terrorism has become an international threat, as radical Islamic groups clinging on to misguided teaching of one of the most peaceful religions try to create rifts among mankind. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the center of today's political turmoil. It allows radical Islamists to recruit young men into their organizations. The West, in turn, falls into a trap by waging wars and using a flagrant double standard in its relationship with Israel. This book explores the many mistakes both sides make by following strict policies and forgetting the needs of humanity to co-exist. It starts out by dispelling some myths that are propagated today that simply are not true. It proves that the Palestinian question is not a religious, but a land issue. It offers solutions to the present Middle East conflict. It concludes with a poetic journey into the future and is a personal outcry to end the conflict. By living on both sides of the globe, the author understands the beliefs of most Palestinians and Arabs in the region. "I am responding to the calls of many in the West asking for Palestinians and Arabs to speak up and denounce terrorism in all its shapes and forms. I wholeheartedly feel the majority of Arabs want a lasting and comprehensive peace based on trust and mutual respect. It is time that the humiliation and iron-clad fist of occupation end, so that those who seek to destroy the common bonds of humanity can drift away into forgetfulness."

131 A Bridge Too Far or Seldom General Non-Fiction Crossed Sub Title: he Value of Work Means Different Things to Different People, Spanning Cultural Disparity in a Globalising Labour Market

Book Details: ISBN: 9781628575552 Publish Year: 2014 Pages: 166 Word Count: 58778 Publisher: SBPRA softcover - Length: 6.0 Width: 9.0 - $ 20.00 Overview: This book examines what is generally accepted in Western European societies as the work ethic, comparing it with the motivation to work of non-Western people in the labour market. People’s expectations and perceptions about work are comprised of shared ideas, values, beliefs, rules, and meanings expressed through their social institutions, which the author terms "ideal systems." It is these ideal systems that influence the ways people organize their workplaces, which are in turn a subsystem of their broader society. Industrial relations are therefore culturally shaped, rather than solely determined by technological, industrial, or political considerations. Changes in societies due to industrialization and technological innovation do occur, but they don’t necessarily converge, because actors in various social systems drive and adapt to social change in culturally specific ways. The Maori people of New Zealand, who have been predominantly integrated in the capitalist economy of that country, persistently show they have different expectations and purposes for participating in the workforce. In a globalizing market, workers from various cultural backgrounds are expected to work together in relative harmony, yet the author’s studies indicate it is the distinction between Western individualistic thought about work that contrasts significantly with Maori holistic views of work and society. Review: "Excellent, common sense presentation. This should be widely used in classrooms, and boardrooms. A must for all human resource departments. It far surpasses any so-called diversity programmes used in the workplace." - Georgina Bradley For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

As a pediatrician at Cleveland Clinic Foundation I became aware that most of the children brought for emotional problems had poor diet rather than poor parenting. Their behavior and physical health responded dramatically to natural foods, withdrawal of all forms of sugar and a few nutritional supplements. An adult body consists of trillions of cells, each of which has to extract energy from food. Mother Nature has developed a computer to organize all the emotional and physical responses that occur automatically when adapting to the stresses that we encounter on a day-to- day basis. The computer is in the lower part of the brain and its consumption of oxygen in the process of oxidation is very high. Oxidation is on the same principle as burning gasoline in a car cylinder. Some of us will remember that we started a car engine with a mechanism called a choke. This was released automatically as the engine warmed. If the choke stuck, the engine would run roughly and black smoke from the exhaust would indicate unburned hydrocarbons. This resulted in loss of energy from the inefficient combustion of fuel. That is what happens in the human body when we take in high calorie foods that do not contain the vitamins and minerals that are the equivalent of a spark plug. I have referred to this as “the choked engine syndrome." The computer becomes erratic in its automatic reactions that enable us to adapt to the changes in our environment. We may feel cold when it is hot or hot when it is cold, or we may become angry too easily and even react violently. The book refers to this as “high calorie malnutrition," very different from our usual concept of insufficient food. Too much is as bad as too little and the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang is used to illustrate this. This form of malnutrition is causing a huge amount of disease in America that is traditionally diagnosed as “psychosomatic." It is so widespread that it may well affect our progress toward better humanitarian behavior. Our collective ignorance is compared to the ignorance of the ancient Romans where chronic lead poisoning was at least part of the decline of their civilization. Small amounts of lead taste sweet and they kept their wines in lead glazed containers. Perhaps the sweetness that encouraged them to drink more wine may be compared to the massive contemporary use of sugar and sweeteners.

His ship docks in London's Royal Albert Dock from a deep sea voyage in late October 1941. Before he can go on leave he is approached by an official of the Ministry of Transport Shipping Board and ordered to join an ancient tramp ship as its captain as he has a Master Mariner's Certificate. The old ship has been pressed back into service to relieve the chronic shortage of shipping caused by recent U-boat sinking. England is also very short of qualified officers since many have been lost and others have been appointed to the vastly expanded RN as Royal Naval Reserve officers. He joins his new ship, SS Freshwater Bay, in Newcastle and supervises her refit, making her ready for sea. He lodges with a very attractive landlady, Sarah Walker, with whom he falls in deeply in love. She is relatively well off, having left home when her stepfather tried to rape her, and subsequently becoming the housekeeper and mistress of a well-to-do local businessman, considerably older than she. He died and left her all his money and possessions. After a few weeks the ship goes to sea with Warwick in command, and proceeds to Gibraltar after loading coal and general cargo in Wales. They get to Gibraltar after a successful tussle with a U-boat in which the Second Officer and two of the crew are killed. He is involved in a dispute over the funeral arrangements with a very pompous staff officer in the Naval Ward master department. He and his ship are pressed into the Royal Naval Reserve by the local RN flag officer, Rear Admiral MacDonald. The Admiral's son (David MacDonald) joins his ship as Third Officer with an admonition from his father to Warwick to make a seaman of him. Warwick’s 28th birthday party takes place in the local Red Shoes Bar, where he makes the acquaintance of a resident hostess called Esperanza, and arrives back on his ship the following morning. This escapade leaves him with several worries and a troubled conscience. Meanwhile his ship is repaired and loaded with food and captured armaments for England. They get back to the UK where SS Freshwater Bay is sunk by a bombing raid while discharging in Southampton Docks. Meanwhile Sarah has bought a big house in Hampshire with money left to her by her erstwhile, deceased lover. Review: David Arnold is a fabulous yachtsman and former naval man so he really knows his stuff. Spins quite a tale!

He is a central figure in the politics of the day and gave rise to the expression "A Pyrrhic victory," one that comes at such a cost that it threatens to destroy the victor. This came as a result of his second battle against the Romans at Asculum in 279 BC. Pyrrhus is considered one of the greatest commanders of the ancient world. Hannibal described him as the finest commander the world had seen, after Alexander himself. The story begins in what is now modern Turkey in 301 BC, where great armies are preparing for battle to determine which of Alexander's generals will rule the eastern Mediterranean. Pyrrhus later travels to Greece and then Egypt, where he becomes Ptolemy's protege and son-in-law. He ultimately fails because his visions were greater than his resources. Review: "The greatest value of A Pyrrhic Victory is in its effort to bring Pyrrhus of Epirus into the consciousness of the common reader. Hannibal had strong affirmative words for Pyrrhus and quoting him verbatim will speak volumes of credibility about the main character of the novel. Hannibal's commendation together with the Gold Medal in Historical Fiction makes a convincing case for a remarkable protagonist and an accomplished author. A Pyrrhic Victory is another creation that successfully showcases the greatness of one person that has been buried in history books." - The US Review of Books, reviewed by RJM Terrado Awards: Gold Medal IPPY 2011, NABE Pinnacle Awards, Indie Excellence Awards For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

It is 295 BC. He is soon to be embroiled again in his dealings with the great power, Macedonia, and his one-time friend, Demetrius. The cataclysmic event of his life then occurs: the invitation to help the Greek city of Tarentum in Italy. He invades Italy and confronts the growing power of Rome. This struggle between Greece and Rome lasted until 146 BC, the year of the sack of Corinth. It was Pyrrhus’ second victory against the Romans at Asculum in 279 BC that gave rise to the expression: A Pyrrhic Victory, one that comes at such a cost that it threatens to destroy the victor. Pyrrhus was described by Hannibal as the finest commander the world had seen, after Alexander himself.
Review: Destiny Unfolds, the second volume of Dr. Ian Crouch’s three-part epic, A Pyrrhic Victory, takes the brilliance and scope of its predecessor and amplifies it tenfold— expanding the ancient world into a global battlefield where men are made or broken… and history is born. Following Pyrrhus on his life’s violent journey, we find the Epirote king once more in bloody conflict with Macedonia, pitted against his old ally Demetrius as great reckonings unfold and the world itself begins to shift into a new epoch. For, at the invitation of Greece, Pyrrhus is called to fight against the rising power of Rome— and save the city of Tarentum from total destruction. With this campaign, Pyrrhus attains his greatest fame, crushing the Romans at Asculum while nearly obliterating his own army in the fearless and dogged operation— a costly style of conquest that’s come to be known as a ‘Pyrrhic Victory.’ Destiny Unfolds captures the same inventive spark as The Shaping of Destiny, but manages to simultaneously explore the broader factors of history while as well delving even deeper into the inner workings of Pyrrhus himself. The blend of the intimate and the majestic crafts a breathtaking tapestry of history, humans, and the age-old question— does the time make a man, or does a man make the time? Dr. Crouch explores this dialectic with electric prose and a steadfast honesty to fact. Destiny Unfolds is truly a tour de force, and I can’t wait for Fate, the concluding volume of A Pyrrhic Victory. But for now, I’m just so thrilled to have the first two-thirds of this masterpiece. —Charles Asher

Review: Highly recommended book, June 1, 2011 By Christina O'Halloran (Fremont, CA United States) - Cheryl Toliver's Bread and Stone continues the story of Valerio Tullus, a Roman living in Judea during the time of Jesus Christ's ministry. This is a wonderfully researched historical novel that makes you feel a part of times in which it is set. Actually historical figures play a part in the story adding to the historic realism. At the same time Miss Toliver creates fascinating, three-dimensional characters that draw you in and make you want to learn more about their lives, thoughts and motivations. I also enjoyed Miss Toliver's first novel, Wilderness Refuge and can't wait to read the next installment in her continuing story.

She took her time getting everything just right so we, the readers, would feel as if we actually walked those streets long ago with John The Baptist, Jesus, peasants and royalty. Instead of talking AT the reader and being one, long preaching session, Ms. Toliver teaches us Biblical history through her own love for the subject. Her passion shows on each and every page. I highly recommend Wilderness Refuge, even if you think you aren't interested in the New Testament. The book is highly enjoyable and one can easily get lost among the characters and their lives.understanding and viewpoint of the New Testament. I must admit that I'm not one to read religious books because so many of them are dry or simply rewrites of what I've read many, many times before. Ms. Toliver offers an engaging twist by combining history with fiction. Although the technique isn't new, what I liked about Wilderness Refuge is that you can tell the author did her research.

Overview: Here we have an unknown true story unearthed from WWII. Although a historical biography, it reads as a dramatic psychological thriller, and covers mainly the dark period of the Third Reich in Nazi Germany. Barbara Goette accepts the offer to join global tycoon Ludwig Roselius and work for the HAG conglomerate. She is 26 and has just completed her state examinations at Kiel University in early 1935. Being intelligent, glamorous, and hard-working, she quickly rises to become Dr Roselius's closest collaborator. The Lion had established himself in New York prior to WWI and became the most diversified industrialist Germany had ever seen. He rejected Hitler as a dreamer and sent him away empty-handed when Hitler asked him for funds in 1922 and 1930. This was not forgotten. In 1936 Hitler launched a vitriolic verbal attack on the Böttcherstrasse and Dr Roselius's nordic themes. Barbara saved his life by appealing to Hitler during a chance meeting in Berlin. Dr Roselius and Colonel Sosthenes Behn of ITT then injected capital into Focke-Wulf and gained control of the aircraft manufacturer. Dr Roselius died in May 1943. Barbara was cut loose and barely survived the war. She married English lecturer Dr J.P. Leidig in February 1945 and in 1950 the family emigrated to Australia. Following the tragic death of her husband in 1957, Barbara became bread-winner and never remarried. Shortly before her death in 1997 she said she 'just wanted to be in heaven with the Lion and her four dachshunds'. Review: Set predominantly in Germany during one of the most tumultuous periods of history, Bombshell is based on diaries and letters written and preserved by the author's mother and family members. In 1935, attractive university graduate Barbara Goette goes to work for billionaire businessman, and founder of decaffeinated coffee, Dr Ludwig Roselius. The two share a close friendship, and through her association with Roselius's many businesses, Barbara travels the world, develops a passion for art and culture, and crosses paths, and words, with Hitler. Bombshell isn't a straightforward love story though, and more questions are raised for the reader than answered. How much did Barbara know about Roselius's political affiliations? What was his involvement with German aircraft manufacturer Focke-Wulf? And was his support of Jewish friends and workers employed at his companies, and his contradictory behaviour to some Nazi ideologies, to be his undoing? Aside from the political intrigue and unanswered questions underpinning the book, Bombshell is fundamentally Barbara's story. Her exquisitely written letters span her lifetime and two continents; they convey humour, sadness, intelligence, and
151 compassion, and I found myself wanting to know more about Barbara. This would make a terrific film. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

The book ends with latest events in which powerful evil spirits are able to return to the Light and find compassion. This book will be of interest to people who enjoy all things spiritual. It can be regarded either as a spiritual guide or as a book for study purposes. Review: "This book changed my view of the world and humanity and all within.

Although I am not a spiritual gifted person, I have had amazing experiences after reading this book and meeting spiritual people. It enriched my person and my awareness of the world and my purpose in life." For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

You will find uncommon common sense, critical thinking and a practical approach to living. American mythologist Joseph Campbell (d. 1987) suggested that old myths are no longer satisfying the needs of modern humankind. Those myths served as truth to the people of that era. However, amazing new discoveries about the universe, our natural environment, and our minds and bodies are constantly nudging us toward a more realistic understanding of our place in the cosmos. The realities of the natural universe are the same for all cultures. From early childhood, we develop the concepts of myths or gods. As we mature through personal experiences and expanding knowledge, we strive to keep our beliefs in sync with new discoveries and developing ideas.

J. Manley portrays a "youthful" mission of the challenges to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God manifests communications through the DNA of our very souls. The novel is a breakthrough scientifically, on how communications with a highly spiritual being - God - is manifest deep, deep down into the very soul of transmission genetic factors: the DNA cell. Scientific discoveries show how communications through gene factors are transmitted. The scripted discoveries in The Gene Factor tell how blessings, prayers, and having faith are communicated. Manley states that The Gene Factor is the most revolutionary novel ever written about how God communicates man. "I have written, I have researched, and I have documented all the information that is ‘within, not without’ that our heavenly father fulfills all the blessings, the prayers, and the hopes of all mankind and all religions from DNA." Deeply embedded in our DNA is where communications with God are sent, and where our heavenly father communicates back to us through the living cells and to answer our prayers. The Gene Factor is written so the layman can understand, but this concept is deeper than simply the story of genetic DNA. To fully understand, "I must present my theory and do presentations and promote my premises by giving lectures and appearances." Review: "Captivating from the beginning. I like a book that grabs my attention and keeps me wondering what's next. This book took me on a journey while touching on current and historic issues relating our own DNA structure. I like how he takes scientific information and scripts it into a story that is relatable to everyday life."

The traditional religious idea that man fell from the state of perfection that he was made by God is replaced by the idea that man was made perfect in the "core field," but he was simultaneously placed in the "dimensions" for gaining perfection also by free choice. Man moves up the dimensions by evolving, which is achieved by overcoming obstacles. Obstacles are not punishments by God, but stimulation for growth. God does not interfere directly, because He wants man to act so he can grow. Help is not offered as a result of faith or prayers, but is embedded in the creation and is released automatically as one grows. The author walks readers through the process of facing obstacles, including such overwhelming events as death. He also identifies the benefits of moving up the steps of spiritual evolution and describes how formal education can become meaningful, if it’s finally made an integral part of growth.

Overview: Oksana and Rafe mix like oil and water. Can she melt his hardened heart and breathe life back into him once again or will he stay on the sidelines forever? After her father committed suicide rather than face his mounting gambling debts, Oksana Wallingford knows she will have to work in order to keep food on the table and her younger brother, the new baron, in school. When her best friend finders her a position as the nanny of his brother’s children, it is the opportunity Oksana needs. But what she didn’t contend with was Rafe, the recently widowed Duke of Essex and her new employer. Oksana and Rafe’s personalities are like oil and water. However, what begins as mutual hate slowly begins to change into something more. But what future can they have when Rafe has sworn off marriage for good? As the mismatched pair struggles to come to terms with one another, a disaster that throws everything into question strikes them both. Review: Reviewed by Lucy Wang for IndieReader – Four stars. Lady Oksana Jane Wallingford, nicknamed “OJ,” finds herself homeless and penniless at the start of this romance. Ruined by her father’s debts and suicide, and with nowhere to go, Lord Geoffrey Tarkington, OJ’s best friend since childhood, comes to the rescue. It seems Geoff’s brother, the widowed Duke Raphael (“Rafe”), is in desperate need of a governess. And a heart transplant. Only the Duke doesn’t know it. The Duke has good reason to be detached. Once again a “catch,” conniving women are in hot pursuit. Not so fast. He is still recovering from his not-so-dearly-departed vicious witch of a wife, the Lady Paula. The Duke vows never to marry again and barely shows up in his children’s lives. He can’t possibly trust women, can’t open his heart up again. Never! So when OJ moves into Grays Hill and takes over his staff, his estate and his children, there will be blood. Blood boiling, curdling and pumping at the rapier speed of desire. A rapier, as fans of armed combat will recall, is a thin sword, used in fencing, thrusting attacks, and in this novel, courtship. Duke Rafe is an expert at fencing, and naturally, he offers some sharp tips to OJ who has already shown unusual aptitude. The two will feint, stab, lunge, and add insult to injury – while trying valiantly not to fall for and over each other. Kudos to Cerny for creating a female protagonist who can match wits and parry with the best of them. GRAYS HILL turns romance into a fun sporting event where you find yourself cheering the opponents onto victory. Score, love.

As a result of these mutations the ordinary rats’ bodies have changed and rats look like sheep in size nearly 50 inches height while half-upright, with a huge and hairy torso from robust, well-developed muscles, building stocky mass with weight 100-120 pounds. They have improbable physical strength. But the most improbable is their intellect! The TV broadcasting of the wars is in fashion. However, two cold, unmeaning eyes are gazing at the TV monitor too, but with no trace of emotion. A deus ex machina story!

Overview: I am the author of this science fiction book. Born and raised among the oldest people and country of Europe (Euskal Herria), I believe that the situation of my beloved country influenced my ideas. Nowadays, I am proud to be an American citizen. In fact, I say this to explain that in the book I’m not referring to Spain or France, the two countries enslaving my people. I really love both the Spaniards and the French. However, I cannot say the same thing about their governments. I once fought with the Foreign Legion for five years in Algeria. I am in love with Paris, and with the way of thinking of most Parisians. The only thing I can add here is the fact that I enormously enjoyed writing this particular book, and I hope that you, the reader, will also enjoy reading it. This science fiction novel takes place on a different planet (Plucar), and in two different nations (Kortzea and Hazoka). Perhaps it would be a good idea if some of our politicians read the ideas offered here to apply them to our government.

This wonderful collection of science fiction and fantasy stories range from a Native American shaman using magic to battle modern-day terrorists in "Mountain of Long Eyes," to space opera mysteries in distant galaxies in the story "Beyond Space." A character playing a prime role in two of the stories is a woman who flees a planet ruled by a repressive theocracy as a teenager in "Crime and Consequences." Her adult story is told in "Beyond Space." There is humor and social criticism in "Why My Mother Hates Me," and there is horror in "The Seat of Learning" and the vampire story "Red Blood." A president may or may not have stopped an attempted coup in "Viewpoints." It is left for the reader to decide. An assault across alternate universes takes place in one tale, and there’s even a ghost story in "Why I Must Move." The collection is well balanced with humor, politics, horror, space opera, alternate history and time travel. Review: To find an anthology of science fiction and fantasy that is just that – pure science fiction and fantasy, is priceless! From pure freedom of inter-dimensional travel, to the hilarious new game show of Who Wants To Live Forever, author Thomas William Hamilton has created a masterpiece. Despite my attraction to science fiction and fantasy, I was raised on Asimov and Ray Bradbury, so my expectations are high when it comes to trusting my entertainment to a new author. Well written, deeply engrossing, and uniquely creative, Mountain of Long Eyes has been certainly well worth my time! I absolutely enjoyed Hamilton’s humorous side, and literally laughed out loud at the prospect of a wrong answer in a game show could mean the contestant was banned for life from ever using an aspirin. The stories are short enough that even the busiest reader can find time to read them, and each story in this book leaves the reader hungering for the next. This book was a complete enjoyment and was so incredibly easy to get lost in. Thomas William Hamilton has hit the mark with this science fiction and fantasy anthology! I can’t wait to read more work from this creative genius! Reviewed by Emily Ann Jones-Parker For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Like most modern versions of the I Ching, Michael Hurn's book is used to consult the ancient wisdom of the I Ching. But its use of simple English and a unique new layout make for a version that is more usable in everyday life. Everyone needs guidance, but in today's busy world, the usual sources (family, friends, church, etc.) may not always be on hand to help. This is where the I Ching (the book of change) can be a useful source of comfort and advice that is always available. The I Ching is an ancient oracle that's been in use in China for over 5,000 years in one format or another. People are still asking it questions today because the answers continue to make sense. Consulting it is like asking a friend or mentor for their thoughts. Anyone can consult it for advice. Since the mid 1970s, the author has been studying, using, and introducing it to others. He has found that people new to I Ching find it easy to learn and use, but find it a bit clumsy using the traditional look-up tables to access wisdom contained within the oracle. He has been able to merge his high-tech background with his love for the I Ching, and discovered that by re-sequencing the hexagrams, you can use pattern recognition to look up hexagrams. Review: "What I liked about this book was how well it explains everything and how easy it is to look up the hexagrams. Even if you've never heard of the I Ching, you can get started within minutes (I was a TOTAL newbie, someone gave me this book as a present). The answers themselves have been modernized just enough to make them less cryptic and much more understandable to someone living in the 21st century. AND – they were amazing!! They really provided good insights. I had some of my friends and family members try the book and they also had no trouble following the instructions. If you are looking for a nice, short, and easy-to-understand introduction to the I Ching, then this book is for you. (It also makes a great gift, as I can attest to!)" – J.

The author chose events to write about for which the machinations of witches and other invisible powers were attributed in Africa and tried to place them as natural laws. He raises questions about some and then tries to explain them in the background of natural occurrence. The book was written to reflect the lack of social and economic progress of Africans, as well as the common accusation of innocent people possessing the power of witchcraft, which is believed to be responsible for misfortune.

Overview: This poetic collection of stories, Our Highest Priority: Embrace Courage, Abandon Fear, is brilliantly written and offers a foundation of thought that’s innovative and original. Stunningly illuminating and timeless, they capture the essence of daily life, its complication and simplicity, and give it vitality with “The world functions on a vision of hope.” This idea suggests there are no dead ends; only perseverance will produce results. It inspires courage, builds confidence, and quickens one’s desire for action in a world where dreams do succeed. Daring and mesmerizing, these bold ideas deeply explore the quality of relationships, e.g., “Trust is essential to fuel persuasion”; or “A relationship based on jealousy cannot survive.” Factors that influence our world view and forces that impact our philosophy of life are all given scrutiny. We are encouraged to be proud of ourselves and our own accomplishments because we contribute to the greater cause. Using our life skills, we are shown roots of a problem and the approach to solve it. Included are fascinating descriptions of how discipline and competition, faith, and optimism function in our world, e.g., “Discipline must be encouraged for competition to flourish”; and “Faith is reflected in our confidence, our inner sense of security.” These are attitude changers intended to energize our self-image and motivate us to let our imagination and our vision soar. Review: Enjoyable to read, easy to believe. You will come back to these poems again and again for encouragement, advice and sheer entertainment. This poet has a sense of humor that will lift your spirits and keep dark clouds away. They can become a daily tonic.

Biddy and Justin uncover an extremist jihad, designed to punish Australia for deploying troops to Afghanistan. Extremists, utilizing a suitcase nuclear device smuggled aboard the cruise ship Pacific Queen Royale in Petropavolovask, Russia, plan to annihilate an Australian icon, the Sydney Harbor Bridge. In Cambodia, Justin finds two fellow passengers, murdered for their identities. Christian-born, Rukan, kidnapped by the Taliban as a child, is raised as a Muslim, believing that Aussie soldiers massacred her family. She is educated as a physicist, solely for the success of the planned nuclear jihad. Taught that women are inferior to men and strictly chaperoned while at university, she was not permitted to listen to music, wear anything other than a burqua and reading was restricted to textbooks. Biddy and Detective Inspector Brian Schultz and their cohorts contact the Anti-Terrorist Branch for aid in thwarting the jihad and stopping the detonation as the ship sails under the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Review: James Garrett B.A Eng.Educ. ( U.S.A) Step aside Mr& Mrs North, look over your shoulder Nick and Nora Charles, here come those other intrepid middle-aged detectives, Biddy Jennings and Justin Fuller, who are back in Pam Arnold’s latest novel, Pacific Incident,9-11-13. Booked for a leisurely holiday cruise aboard the pacific Queen Royale, Biddy and Justin again find themselves entangled not only in good old mystery and intrigue, but also in modern day piracy, jihads, and Taliban terrorists. All the romance and adventure of the High seas are present in Pacific Incident, as well as the charmingly delicious affaire d’amour between Biddy and Justin, who prove that you’re never too old for love. Pam Arnold’s intriguing and delightful yarn spins a web of mystery and surprise as she peels away the veneer of the characters and we discover that nothing is what it seems to be. Justin may not be the swashbuckling hero in seven-league boots, nor Biddy, Winged Victory leading the charge, but they do a damn good imitation, and give us, the reader, a stirring heartiness that good will always triumph over evil, and that love will conquer all. Pacific Incident is a rollicking good read and Madam Arnold an emerging author headed for the best seller list.

Overview: The London Eye and its 800 riders are the target for Efraim, an Iraqi terrorist. Funded by his half- brother, Yusuf, the corrupt chief executive of a Moroccan charity, Efraim travels to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya to build the necessary shaped charges. Paul, a British financial consultant, is sent to investigate the Moroccan charity by its British parent organization. He is joined in Marrakech by Naomi, the operations director of the British charity. Naomi is a beautiful Israeli, who speaks seven languages and is an accomplished musician. Will Paul and Naomi discover Yusuf Review: Some writers produce a great first book, but subsequent books are mediocre. Some sustain their proficiency from book to book. And some seem to get even better with each book written. Mr. Peace's first two books were both good reads, but his third, Efraim's Eye is his best so far. It is a fast paced page turner revolving around a terrorist plot to destroy the London Eye. While doing pro-bono work for a London charity checking on one of its subsidiaries, Paul Winthrop along with Naomi, a consultant with the charity, discover a terrorist plot to destroy the London Eye. Each one of the characters is developed in depth and with a complexity that makes them believable. No cardboard cutouts here. We follow two storylines as the book develops. One is with the developing relationship between Paul, a widower but in a relationship back in London, and Naomi, a well- travelled, intelligent and younger Israeli. The other deals with the organization of the plot from obtaining the necessary weapons and equipment to choosing the personnel to be involved. As we follow the terrorist Yusef as he travels to several countries to complete the plans, one cannot help but be impressed with Mr. Peace's attention to detail. Whether describing weapons or the intricacies of an audit or the geography of a city, his information is so well researched and written that one is reminded of Tom Clancy in his early books. Mr. Peace appears to have an interest in religion and in the spiritual aspects that guide and motivate individuals. This was a thread in his previous book as he explored facets of Christianity. In this book, Mr. Peace is able to explore the beliefs of Islam and the teachings of the Koran. He is never judgmental and gives his reader much to ponder. I look forward to the next book by this talented writer. For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: What do people DO after they die? Loosely based on the tenet of the Mormon Church, in this stunning novel, a high priest named Eber passes through the veil of death and discovers what is on the other side. DARK – Millennium 3 describes what Eber encounters in his new environs. He meets people he knew in mortal life and some who lived before he was born. In the spirit realm, he experiences both the Dark region of unenlightened spirits, and the Light region sheltering those who have progressed. Called to be a Ministering Angel, he ‘works’ in the Dark region, seeking to bring enlightenment to those caught in their own Dark spirit prison. Eber was tested in life, and now he is being tested in death. DARK will open your eyes to the possibilities of the universe as we all enter the third millennium. Review: Amazon.com Surprisingly Subtle Take on Death, April 18, 2011 It was only on the second reading of this book that the inner connectedness began to become apparent. This is far more subtle and is deeper than I first thought. It was only on the second reading that I saw why the priest Eber knew all along, the little girl with no undies in 'Dark' was not kosher. That's when I started looking for the metaphors and realised the entire book is built on Icons, Avatars and Metaphors. It was like finding two books in one. This is more like hardcore literature than a simple fiction novel. Also amusing! I found sexual references were in an acceptable context and suitable for Young Adult. I know a schoolgirl who read it and finished the book in one day. Well worth the read-and Yes!… also worth the ‘read again’. The book overall seems short for the introduction to a trilogy but that may be the point? ‘RaiofOz’ For more information about this fine book or for a custom catalog please email [email protected].

Overview: A work of Religious Historical Fiction, beginning at 2010 and covering the next Thousand Years. This Doctrine is based upon the tenet of the Mormon Church, the Further Light and Knowledge of the Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The action is set beyond the Veil of Death, as seen through the eyes of Eber, a murdered priest who enters the Spirit World. We see the Biblical Millennium of Peace, when swords will be turned to ploughshares. But first, NOW! This Great War, in which billions must die! Dialogue exposes the idolatrous, pagan origins of Islam and illustrates the Keys and Powers of the Holy Priesthood. We see the ongoing relationships among the dead. We journey between the Spirit Realms of Dark and Light. We observe the End of the Mortal World, and the Fates of Mankind, judged by the Living God. BUT WHO IS EBER? Review: Eber is a highly complex character in a complicated multi-layered novel. There is nothing simple in this book, this is a dialogue between Eber and those for whom he feels responsible, and in its complexity, reflects the struggle mortals have with eternal questions. From Dark to Magog Eber takes us along his personal journey, sometimes looking back briefly on his mortal life, but focussing on the work with those who have passed beyond the veil. They are not all pleasant people but the focus is on those who are more righteous. There is a clear relationship between choices people made and continue to make as they progress through mortality and the afterlife, and their happiness throughout the eternities. Magog is essentially about love. The love of Eber for his people, and in fact, all people, wherever they are and regardless of the lives they have lived in mortality. But the depth of ethereal love between Eber and his Covenant wives dominates this book. Eber's concern about complacency and the need to warn of the need for vigilance can be applied to all of us at any time in our lives. Achieving immortality does not mean the end of struggles, trials, disappointments but rather the abundance of love, goodwill, kindness and loyalty will provide the strength to find great fulfillment. N'Or ta is, for Eber, the Beatrice of Dante's The Divine Comedy - the supreme relationship.

Now Joao has been rescued and lives in the Chimp Eden sanctuary as part of the Jane Goodall Institute of South Africa. After his many years in captivity, he learns that people can be good and caring. Another chimp named Cozy is also rescued and comes to the sanctuary, where Joao helps him and the other chimps to become a family. The staff at Chimp Eden give these abused and neglected chimps a life as close as possible to the one stolen away from them.

Through her insightful second book, My Sanctuary: A Place I Call Home – The Mission, you will once again see the world through the eyes of the occupants of Chimp Eden, a chimpanzee sanctuary, where Joao began his second life. Time is precious for all the remaining chimpanzees left in the wild. In this compelling story, Joao, the granddad chimp of the sanctuary, finds that it is time to pass his “voice” on to another chimp to continue the mission of teaching about the chimps’ lives and the plight of the great apes. It is up to Jessica, a 30-year-old female chimp, to carry on Joao’s stories that will hopefully change the way chimpanzees have been used by humans for entertainment or as pets. The team also goes on an exciting mission to rescue some chimps. “My Sanctuary: A Place I Call Home” captures the desperate need of orphaned chimpanzees and how they find love and a new life at Chimp Eden. The perfect gift for every child. I love this book. – Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace The unforgettable pages of the book embody the spirit of the Jane Goodall Institute of South Africa.
