JUST RELEASED Dear Kara One Man's Journey from War to War Paul J. Giannone "Dear Kara is a sometimes searing, often poignant and always engaging collection of stories and incidents from Paul Giannone's ongoing journey to such garden spots as war ravaged Vietnam, barren Sudan, hopeless Albania and revolutionary Iran to make the world just a little better place, a world in which the real heroes go unsung and the enemy, often, is us." Bernard Edelman, Editor of Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam. "Dear Kara is a valuable contribution to the literature. It serves to remind the reader that headlines and history are made up of individuals whose personal history is reflected in a geopolitical struggle that never ends and merely changes names. This book is a gripping account of the victims of imperialism that is told in a manner through which the reader risks being transformed by the author. An excellent read!" Kenneth J. Herrmann, Jr., Executive Director, Da Nang/Quang Nam Fund

REVIEWS SIGNINGS The book serves as a memoir, but also a message to his daughter. As Giannone said both in the interview and in the book's prologue, he hopes the book outlines for his daughter why he wasn't there for important events in her life, like dance recitals, holidays and sporting events. Giannone said there are two themes in the book. One was personal —how he got involved in public health. But he also focuses on foreign policy, saying we need to be "sharp and smart" when deciding to intervene in a country...Full Text.

NEW The Freedom Blade J.B. Hoel    A youth runs from his life and loses everything! This young dark elf will discover Gablador, his land. He will encounter friends and meet two insane people: A psychopath with no agenda and an evil man with a sinister plan to completely massacre an entire race!    With nothing to lose the youth known as Dak will find himself in the middle of a crisis and will also discover something horrid will occur if he can't put a stop to this disaster! It seems impossible but with the assistance of his allies and the incredible power of an ancient weapon he may have a chance to save thousands. In this highly imaginative tale the world is partially populated by various species of Elves who are not only shunned by Humans but are being persecuted and slaughtered by the powerful madman 'Shadow.' Originally treated as Human equals, the law has been rewritten making all elves inferior, to be treated as slaves. Although the essence of the novel is about an attempt to massacre an entire race, J.B. Hoel has also portrayed emotions of friendship, loyalty and love that survive even in desperate times. He has detailed his multitude of characters, magical spells and constant battles with vivid description and the reader should not expect to be able to follow the story without reading it with just as much attention. Be sure to check his comments in the back of the book to understand his unique style of storytelling. The author J.B. Hoel is a 17 year old teen who has a right to be proud of his first work of fiction that he wrote at 13. Originally born in Chicago, Illinois he now resides in the Boston, Mass. area.

NEW Yarilo's Dance Sim Shattuck     An indigent mental patient, Tom finds himself in a realistic fantasy world of pagan Russia, about 850 AD. This fantasy, resulting from Tom's catatonia, concerns the life and destruction of the village of Razryv-trava, and Tom's desire to retrieve and save the inhabitants of the town who survive. Type- characters from Slavic folklore enhance the story: vampires, volatile elflike creatures, and a cruel nobleman who abducts a beloved wife of the village's leader. However, as Tom has his adventures, his psychiatrist Andrew Schalberg tries to medicate Tom back to reality, something Tom resists because he wants to see what will happen in the Russian past. Tom then convinces Andy to stop medicating him so that Tom can complete his "mission." While treating Tom, Andy goes through a divorce from his wife and the anger of his two children. He has an affair with Judy, a woman with a control-freak husband. Andy feels out of control, trying to pull his life together and ironically comparing it with his patient's heroic efforts in his Russian dream world.

NOW AVAILABLE! REVIEWS In this unique story, the lives of two men-Andrew the psychiatrist and Tom the mental patient collide. Awestruck by Tom's fantasy life, Andrew lets it become a focal point for both the psychotic patient and his institutional doctor. Who knows what worldly pressures caused Tom to retreat so far into an escape world that his human body became catatonic? The author, Sim Shattuck, has included a table of names and pronunciations; using it adds depth and attachment to the characters and places. With his talent for detail and his immeasurable imagination, you are easily carried to the startling end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Cheryl Heinrichs, Allbooks Review SIGNINGS

New Novel BRINGER of BALANCE by Sandra-Jo Matusky ***Now Available*** The Land Series - Book Two: Bringer of Balance In this sequel to 'Queen Crystal of The Land', the tantalizing fantasy picks up with Queen Crystal marrying a former protector, Riley. The Land now has both a Queen and a King, renewing hope and happiness to all people. For many years there had been a prophecy that Crystal would become the 'Bringer of Balance', but she battles her own pendulum of emotions. Unless she can find her inner peace, she and her powers can potentially destroy the world. The protectors, once the 'keepers of balance' now believe that mortals are the causing the world to become unbalanced, and are methodically trying to extinguish all mankind. The pair compliments the other's special powers, creating a magical force as they set out on a treacherous journey across Noore Continent. Their goal, either unite all human races against the protectors or do battle with the now evil, immortals themselves. Throughout many death defying challenges during their journey, the alliance comes across good and evil, health and growth, but also witness vast devastation of once luscious land. Sadly they come to realize it is due to human intervention. Sandra-Jo has been given a gift. Not only to remember her dreams but to vividly convey them to her readers. You will be able to immerse yourself in the story, and feel like you belong. Her descriptions, follow through, maps and references make the novel all the more intriguing. Bringer of Balance is the sequel to Queen Crystal and The Land. Not notorious for speed reading, I couldn't put the book down. I believe Sandra-Jo's work will rise to the bestseller list. Highly Recommended, reviewer: Cheryl Heinrichs, Allbooks Review

Hightower    In Washington D.C., a beautiful, blonde socialite is brutally murdered by strangers…in Billings, Montana the offices of an assayer of land development and mines are bombed…and in Stockton County all the old played-out mines are being bought up by a mining firm that is working with NASA but allegedly has the backing of a domestic militant group.

Hightower, as with her other novel, Anthrax: The Game, The Deal does not disappoint. Hightower weaves an entertaining web of espionage and terrorism, which uses NASA as a cover, and delights readers with its complexity and intrigue.

REVIEWS This book's thick plot, as with all good thrillers, begins with a murder scene. The protagonist is, of course, an FBI employee researching domestic terror threats who becomes inextricably tied with the murder victim in ways that weave her into the fabric of the very terror plots she fears. In short, The Deal is a well-thought-out thriller that conforms to the modern ideas of action, mystery, and adventure while still remaining plausible and, even more amazingly, pertinent to the world in which we now live. For an exciting look into terror and conspiracy mingled with murder, adventure, and even some romance, Dwan G. Hightower's newest novel just might be the ticket. Other books: Anthrax: The Game.
