The Eye of Icarus                                                                                                                         by Michael D'Ambrosio

Will Saris, an ambitious and young officer in the Space Fleet, embarks on his first mission alone with one directive – be discrete. He disobeys that directive and sets off a chain of events that not only change his life but much of the universe as well. The Eye of Icarus, book one in the Space Frontiers Series, starts off with edge-of-the-seat action, heart-throbbing romance, and chilling suspense where Will Saris goes from a rookie Officer and boy to a mature master manipulator of the alien races. The Eye of Icarus is the long awaited follow-up to D’Ambrosio’s Fractured Time Trilogy as Will Saris, son of Fractured Time’s Billy Brock, proves to be much like his father as he weaves his own thrilling and romantic adventures in a hostile universe.

Full of odd characters and fey beings, the Tanglewood is a world of magnificent folklore come to life.  As Colin begins to explore the Tanglewood, he’ll find friendship with the ferrish Ailfrid, the elfin girl Deidre, and Doc Muffingrow, a wise druid. Colin will also find that there is much magic in himself, as well as dangerous enemies who’ll not let him find solace in the wood so easily. Ailil, King of the Sprites and ruler of The Below, has laid claim to Colin’s spirit, and Colin will need the help of his friends and quite a bit of magic to save himself.   The Tanglewood is a place like no other, and Colin is a boy like no other. Throughout his adventures, he’ll uncover the secret of the fey blood within him, and help dispel the poisonous corruption and hidden dangers that threaten the inhabitants of the wood and the Tanglewood itself.

Castle Ladyslipper                                                                                                                           by Lee Grantier

...When a chauvinistic knight lands in a castle full of women, somebody has to change…

Soldier of fortune, Garrick of Hawkwood is ill prepared for the women of Castle Ladyslipper, especially its hostile mistress, Emma d’Arcy.  Garrick is haunted by the spirit of Emma’s great-great grandmother Rose. Her actions caused the curse plaguing Emma and her female relatives. Though clearly at odds, Emma and Garrick cannot deny the sultry heat rising between them.

The Cowgirl and The Colts                                               by Paul Travers

                                                 

In 1959 Carolyn Clark and her pony Dixie rode into the pages of football history as the first female mascot in professional football.  Carolyn was  an accomplished horsewoman by the age of ten and daughter of the legendary jockey Willie Clark. She dreamed of starting a riding academy for handicapped children.  Her fame as a Baltimore Colt created a touching story of faith, family, friendship and football.  This is her story – a look at life in the 1950’s, professional football, horses, and rock and roll as seen through the eyes of a young cowgirl.   “The Baltimore Colts were a complete team: that was not just the players but the fans.  What would that team have been without Carolyn and Dixie?  They were special part of that team, the magical and fragile bond between players and fans."   Raymond Berry, Baltimore Colts 1955-1967, 1958 and 1959 World Championship teams, Pro Football Hall of Fame 1973

The Separatist                                                                                 by Gordon Snider (Author of Sigourney's Quest)

At the onset of this novel we meet journalist Julia Rice, who is sought out by a mysterious Mr. Anderson with the promise of giving her a very interesting story that would definitely help her career.  Julia follows her curiosity and meets with Mr. Anderson.  At first she is taken back by his ways but something makes her continue to meet with him as he begins to reveal a story that goes back into time and one that seems to have some connections with one she is working on in present day. A connection perhaps with her own life and a story that will definitely bring her to the brink of extreme danger, yet lead her to the love of her life.   Mr. Anderson was at one time a Separatist, hired for a case that would change his life forever. The Separatist is based on a Japanese custom where people hire such a specialist to end relationships.  This might involve a spouse, a lover, a business partner, or any other kind of personal relationship.  The idea is to create a situation that is so embarrassing to the “mark” that he or she will agree to severe the relationship without public displays of discord, publicity, or court proceedings This is the story he must reveal to our Julia that will in turn change her life. Just who is this mystery man, Mr. Anderson, and why has he chosen Julia to confide the details of the evil he knows and the people involved?  Will Julia come out of this alive or has Mr. Anderson put them in a situation that will end both of their lives?

A Gift of Dreams                                                        by Robert A. Benjamin

 

A Gift of Dreams is a classic American coming-of-age tale cast well outside the ordinary mold, a memoir with roots deep in youthful experience. It invites the reader to share my challenge of making a remote controlled vehicle fly in the days when even NASA had trouble doing it, while still trying to act like a normal teenager worried about working at the town drugstore and getting into college and handling the joys and perils of young love and emerging sexuality, all in the unique context of society in a New England seacoast village. Today, thoughtful readers everywhere are looking for optimistic, engaging storytelling that endorses positive values, and they will find it here. A Gift of Dreams is about a lot more than building model airplanes that will fly...it is about finding the courage in daring to be different.

Tutor                                                                                by Tom Te-Wu Ma

For thousands of years the Chinese people have believed that a person will become a ghost after death living in the underground.  It will be arranged for the ghost to reborn as a person again by the rules of the immortals.  If a person has performed a great deal of good deeds in his life, after death the spirit (ghost) of the person will be reborn into a rich and dignified family to enjoy a good life.  If the person has committed a great number of bad deeds, the spirit of the person will be reborn into a poor family to suffer a miserable life or simply reborn as an animal to live a cruel life. A love story between a human and a spirit is much more attractive and complicated than those that occur between two humans. The spirits in the book are all vividly personified. They live with humans in the human world, and also in their world. They travel from one world to the other easily and frequently. Although they have the advantage of supernatural powers, they still like to show themselves in human form. They look and act like human beings when they live in the human world. It is hard sometimes to distinguish which one is human and which is spirit. The ingenious revelation of that secret, therefore, often becomes the most exciting part of the story. Tutor is a collection of 21 such complex and enticing stories which I selected and translated from an old Chinese book, Liao Zhai, by Pu Song Ling (1640-1715) Liao Zhai has been unanimously acknowledged both academically, and popularly, as a most remarkable work of this sort in the thousands of years of the Chinese literature history.

Shadow in the Rain                                                                        By Harriett Ford

A cub reporter becomes convinced that an innocent man has been convicted of murder. While she tries to untangle the truth of the crime and free him from prison, she is stalked by a killer and challenged to free herself from her own prison of grief and love again. Based on an actual crime in Rockford, Illinois, the book includes an addendum by nationally known forensics scientist, Arthur Chancellor, who states, "There is not enough evidence--motive, weapon, or witness accounts--to convict Ted Kuhl."  This is a "must read" for those who hope to see changes in the criminal justice system, those who are hoping to see a new trial for Ted Kuhl, imprisoned since 1997, and for any person who finds himself wrongfully accused of a crime.

The Royal Quests                                                                         by Wesley Lowe

The war to oust the usurper Lorkas from Kurault’s throne has begun.  King Macawin and the Army of the Alliance are confident in their ability to overwhelm the city’s defenses with one mighty strike.  But the Alliance meets formidable resistance from Lorkas’s troops, forcing them to settle around Kurault’s walls for a lengthy siege.  To gain support for King Macawin’s cause, the Blackwoods Coven is divided into three groups, each one assigned a Royal Quest by a city’s ruler in exchange for military aid.  The first must venture beyond the Rune Mountains to find Justin of Kurault, a man who most believe dead.  The second must hunt down and destroy the powerful demon sorceress, Darklin Reed.  The third must rescue the King Solson’s twin children from an indestructible war machine with a will of its own. But as the war drags on, Lorkas unleashes a force that the Alliance is powerless against.  Their only chance for victory is the completion of the Royal Quests before their morale is shattered and all hope is gone.

Don't Crash My Party!                                            by Shirene Hansotia

Don't Crash My Party! critically analyzes the performance of the Democratic and Republican Parties in recent years, and proposes a bold new Democratic agenda spearheading reforms of our political institutions and advocating initiatives to tackle issues as varied as health care reform, debt control, educational improvements and homeland security.

One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting. George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia

One cannot impose a cooperative, democratic society on people — they must adopt it and claim it as their own. Activists who are truly progressive cannot use force or trickery; we can only serve as mentors and midwives, showing the way and facilitating the birth of a new society. Our means must reflect our desired ends if we want our means to lead to those ends. — Randy Schutt, Inciting Democracy

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. — Robert F. Kennedy
