  • Magnolia, by Thomas Fargnoli

    Magnolia, by Thomas Fargnoli
    Nov 23 2024
    This book is about a man's journey from his hospital bed to his small hometown of Magnolia, New Jersey, where his journey to heaven begins as his guardian angel helps him answer questions that we all have about heaven. Questions such as: What will heaven be like? Will we meet relatives and friends there? Will there be food and wine? Will there be sex? Will we see our pets? How will we get around? Will we have bodies? In Magnolia, by going back there from my deathbed (or Lou’s deathbed), I am setting up his journey to heaven – a new journey where time and life change. A joyful change. Guided by his guardian angel (Micah), Lou starts afresh, yet that start, for him, is very similar to the joys he experienced in Magnolia when he was nine years old. I don’t go deep into religion or scripture in this book, rather I decided to “show” the reader via Lou’s journey through the first stage of heaven – a stage that is almost comprehensible to us in the earthly realm.

  • Water Drumming In The Soul, by Eric Madeen

    Water Drumming In The Soul, by Eric Madeen
    Nov 23 2024
    In this fiery love story set in equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields in on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a remote village where he seldom has his bearings and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies and cultural taboos. He throws himself into work, which he’s deliciously distracted from in his pursuit of a gorgeous African lady. In her vitality, Assam rocks with the energy of a dozen women and bye and bye David becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is with delicious “distractions” keeping the reader spellbound. With its hunting ventures into rainforest and original Bantu folktales recounted fireside, this is a novel that, in its haunting end, will strum elegiacally at your heartstrings. Resonating with Nabokov’s truism, “The finest art is not simple and sincere but rather complex and deceitful.” Think of the Mona Lisa’s smile. Think of Water Drumming in the Soul ... Your soul.

    From Budapest To Hollywood, by Katherine MK Mitchell

    ‘From Budapest to Hollywood: Searching for the Promised Land’ is a story of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of a better life. Katherine MK Mitchell’s memoir begins with her birth in Nazi-occupied Hungary. From there she survived war, the ill-fated S.S. Exodus, and communism before fleeing her home country once the Russians crushed the Hungarian Revolution. Her journey as a refugee brought her to New York, where she overcame countless challenges, ultimately making a name for herself in Hollywood. Katherine worked as an agent, writer, and story analyst, earning membership in the Writers Guild of America West. Throughout her life, Katherine has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to honing her craft, sharing her stories, and inspiring others to live authentically and with purpose. Her memoir is a testament to what one can achieve when they refuse to give up hope and continue moving forward.
