Soweto Story by Oswald Brandt
Oswald Brandt Presents:
The Khumalo family represents all the families who suffered jailing, torture, and even murder during the years of apartheid in South Africa.
Before the release of Nelson Mandela in February 1990, dissent by black citizens, no matter what the age, was met with brutality.
With a chuckle of self-satisfaction, one policeman said, ”You can run fast, hey, boy? Now let’s see how fast you really are. I’ll count to ten to give you the chance to escape. At the count of ten, I’ll draw my revolver and fire two warning shots. The third shot is meant for you. If I miss, you’re free. Otherwise, you’ll be only wounded in the leg.
Having grown up running away from the police all his life, the youth felt he had a good chance of getting away. By the count of ten, plus two warning shots, he could be well out of shooting range and well on his way to avoiding the police cells he so dreaded.
Just as he was about to take up the policeman’s offer, the old woman in the van screamed, “Don’t do it! Get in the van.”
With some doubt, he looked at the policeman, who was now fiddling with his revolver, and at the two women …
Looking back just one generation, Soweto Story tells the powerful narrative of South Africa, in which the colour of one’s skin determined one’s destiny.
The Adventures of Henry and Eulalie
Mushin Knott Presents:
Eleven-year-old Henry Harris wakes up in strange surroundings.
“The place where you now find yourself is called Sun-Rhea,” Dr. Finnegan began. “We are a planet distant from, yet similar to, Earth. We here are members of the Federation of Free Minds, the last free vestige of a once enlightened society dedicated to the pursuit of truth inherent in the wonders of the universe. Our peace was destroyed when our great enemy Mocarsto came from the Wildlands and made his home among us. The Wildlands is a strange place, full of magic and unexplained wonders; it is not a world wholly compatible with our own. In fact, the two worlds rarely meet.”
Thus begins Henry Harris’s introduction to his home planet.
When Henry Harris seemingly passes out at baseball practice on Planet Earth, he finds he has been “bilocated” back to his birth planet by three scientists, one of whom is his uncle.
The boy learns of his unique origins as he travels through worlds of reason and science (Sun-Rhea), the land of his birth father (Donegal), and the many magical realms of the Wildlands, home of his birth mother (Mirabel), and his soon-to-be best friend, the fairy Eulalie.
Illustrated by Kalpart, this fantasy adventure takes Henry and Eulalie through the Land of Echoes, populated by ghosts and shades, to the Sky in the Lake, where they must free Henry’s mother.
The Adventures of Henry and Eulalie is the first book of a planned trilogy.
Noses in the Wind: How to Create the Best Life for Your Dog (and Make a Forever Home)
Lisa Andrea Snyder Presents:
The mortgage crises that hit 12-plus years ago leveled her career. SO…
A friend/mentor told the author to do what she loved, and so she did.
Lisa Andrea Snyder went from selling real estate full-time to hiking dogs off leash full-time.
DOGS GONE WILD became a way of life for the Dogs in Lisa’s PAC (Playfully Active Canines).
“Solidly knowing that my truest passion on the planet is DOGS, I started a business called Dog Day Afternoon that enabled dogs to run free with other dogs.
“I would pick up 7 to 10 dogs twice a day and transport them to one of several magical places (so as never to bore them).
“They hiked, they made friends with one another, and exercised fully.
“ALL OFF LEASH. They sniffed to their hearts’ content, burned up energy, and completely thrived.
“After 8 years of feeling their joy and seeing their lives transform, I knew I had to write about it.”
There are SO many factors that go into creating the best life for a dog.
From deciding whether to even get a dog, to providing as much as you can for them.
Once you get a dog/pup, creating a FOREVER home is the entire point. So you must get it right!
Bad Moon Rising: Sometimes Revenge Is Sweet
Maggie Charters Presents:
This dramatization based on real events is set in Port Melbourne, Australia, in the 1960s. It deals with rape, murder, and post-traumatic stress.
Meet flamboyant Kellie Earl, her artistic brother Billy, and their glamorous and enigmatic Russian mother Jana.
I am commonly known as Kellie Earl. I am tall and artificially suntanned with long, bleach-blond hair. In my mid-thirties I moved interstate to live in New South Wales. To ensure that my body is in peak condition, I regularly visit a Sydney gym and solarium. Overall, one could call me a beautiful, vain vixen. (Obviously, modesty is not one of my virtues.) But those who might dare to dig deeper and pry into my private world would discover a sordid truth that would scare the hell out of anyone. Fact supersedes fiction! Truth be told, my dichotomous self is a cold murderess. Or am I? I liken myself to a mixture of both good and bad. You decide which is the greater.
When Kellie’s mother Jana first came to Australia, Billy was two years old and she was pregnant with Kellie. Jana tries to put the horrors of her past in Russia behind her, but fails. She brings home disreputable boyfriends, and her young daughter Kellie ends up being raped. Kellie kills her rapist.
Is the murder ever justified? Even in the case of rape?

Honoring Holistic Health Habits: Down to Dealing with Deadly Diets
Tom Taylor Presents:
Why is our life expectancy getting shorter?
Incredibly, there’s a 27-year difference in life expectancy in different parts of the United States.
Fast food is convenient, but it’s also a killer.
Heart disease. Stroke. Obesity. Diabetes. Cancer. Vascular Disease. Alzheimer’s.
They’re all killers, and they’re made worse by eating an unhealthy diet.
These diseases have all increased dramatically over the past century as a result of poor dietary choices.
For the first time in centuries, life expectancy is dropping. What can we do to change this?
These health risks can be reduced by changing out diet and exercise. These conclusions come from the author’s lifelong medical practice treating these disorders, making his 184-page book a true life saver.
Retired Professor of Surgery Tom Taylor has taught at universities in Manchester, Edinburgh, and London, and at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
The author has been a surgical gastroenterologist, a bariatric surgeon, and a professor of surgery in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. He has extensive experience of all aspects of his specialty and has had a particular interest in obesity and nutrition, having performed over 1,000 gastric bypass procedures in the morbidly obese. The information presented in his book has been collected over many years from medical literature and clinical practice, and all aspects of it are considered scientifically accurate.
So when it comes to diet and nutrition, why not give holistic medicine a try?
It’s the natural way to seek good health.

We, the Enslaved
Okachi N. Kpalukwu Presents:
One day in class, a university professor of African and African Diaspora studies asked his students why there’s a disconnection between Africans and Africans in the Diaspora.
After listening to them disparage Africans and their stuck-up behavior, Professor Rufus Emekuku stated:
“Your remarks today, in my humble opinion, my brothers and sisters,” continued the professor, “are neither brotherly nor are they sisterly. The people you are talking about are your own brothers and sisters. Granted, despite all the odds against them, they always appear proud, happy, and elegant – and so should you, always, despite all the odds against you!”
While interacting with his students, the professor explains the disunity among the African and African-American students on campus, which he traces back to the damages caused by slavery and colonialism.
One student observes that the Africans he’s seen appear to hold themselves above others.
“By the way they carry themselves and talk down on you sometimes,” replied the student.
“How?” queried the professor further.
“Perhaps because their ancestors were not enslaved like ours were,” replied the student.
“Who told you their ancestors were not enslaved?”
What the professor is about to discover is that he is observing a problem that he was born to solve. Reuniting Africans on the continent and Africans in the Diaspora through marriage is his destiny.
One Part Death: Riverman Rising
James G. Davidson II Presents:
Imagine the stories a retired spy could tell!
If you’ve ever wondered how accurate spy novels really are, this one was written by a retired CIA agent, and it’s quite the thriller.
In it, former Special Agent Elliot Turner and his team are trying to unravel a 20-year-old mystery.
They want to know why the mass poisoning of an entire village in West Africa was covered up. Was it corporate conspiracy or is there another explanation?
Twenty years have passed since the poisonings. Elliot, now a reluctant psychic operative working for the government out of Area 59, is charged with solving the killings.
His team includes his former female OSI partner, and a mysterious scientific genius from Cameroon, who was orphaned because of the mass poisoning.
Travel from New Mexico to Washington, D.C., to Africa, as the hunters soon become the hunted.
A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues with whoever is responsible for the mass murder.
Chapter one:
Before Elliot put on his robe, the three technicians turned as if on silent command. What, no goodbye? No see you next time? They walked out of the only exit in the room leaving Elliot to his thoughts. Not for the first time in the last eight years he wondered what he had gotten himself into. He didn’t know whether he’d been recruited, conscripted, or shanghaied. One thing was for sure; he wasn’t in Kansas anymore.
A Pyrrhic Victory Volume III: Fate
Ian Crouch Presents:
What does it mean to win a “Pyrrhic Victory?”
King Pyrrhus of Epirus invaded Italy to curb the power of Rome nearly 300 years before Christ.
But his triumph came at such a cost that it became known as a Pyrrhic Victory, where his losses could destroy him.
In 279 BC, Pyrrhus has just won the bloody battle of Asculum against the Romans. Although punished, the power of the legions has not been broken. The road to Rome was still barred to Pyrrhus, and his peace terms were rejected.
Pyrrhus accepts the invitation of the Greek cities in Sicily to lead them against the invading Carthaginians. In return, they will help him in his war with Rome. His wartime deeds were memorialized by Hannibal, calling Pyrrhus the finest commander in the world, second only to Alexander the Great.
Award-winning author Ian Crouch “brings this ancient age to life once more, maintaining an expert balance between historical accuracy and creative imagination,” says Dr. Eoghan Maloney, lecturer in ancient history at the University of Adelaide. He adds, “Dr. Crouch succeeds splendidly in conveying a compelling interpretation of the lives and loves, the achievements and aspirations of great men in a great age.”
The author writes:
“It also fell to Pyrrhus to open the struggle between the Greeks and the Romans for domination of the eastern Mediterranean world and to foresee the great contest between the Romans and the Carthaginians in the west.”
It was indeed a time of great men and great deeds.

The Law of the Flaw
Marva A. Smith Presents:
Each remarkable poem in this book showcases the resiliency of the human spirit, which is filled with curiosity, creativity, and endless opportunities for brilliant change.
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:
“The measure of [a woman or] a man is not where [she or] he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where [she or] he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
In the words of the author:
“My third book continues the theme of ‘Resiliency of the Human Spirit,” focusing on friendship, optimism, and the beauty of helping each other work for a brighter future.
“The biggest obstacle I faced writing a book of this nature was having the experience necessary to tell such authentic and engaging stories. I needed to step out of my comfort zone and be more proactive, seek situations and circumstances that would give validity to the scope and complexity of a problem, and provide a depth of analysis or understanding, which would otherwise be lacking.
“I felt a sense of elation when the book was finished, because I thought I had probed deeply into those stories to build a sense of trust and bring an awareness to the power of our beliefs, how they impact our emotions, the engine that drives us.
“It is my goal to help build a better future by inspiring others to be kinder to each other and commit to making a positive difference in this changing world order.”
These poems urge us to find solutions to age-old problems, while at the same time, we are healing ourselves.
We can make a positive difference.

Figure Eight: About a Kid with Dyscalculia – Book 1
Cynthia Fabian Presents:
A lot of people say they’re bad at math.
But what happens when the reason you’re bad at math is because of a physical problem?
Eleven-year-old Max has dyscalculia, a brain condition that makes solving math problems difficult.
His friend Eric has dyslexia, which makes it hard for him to read or interpret words, because the letters get jumbled up in his brain. It’s the same for Max, except for Max, it’s with numbers.
This insightful book for young readers tells the story of why Max can’t do math as easily as his friends.
“My name is Max McDonald. I wake up each day, get dressed, and then dive into a peanut butter jar and try to swim. It’s what I call my life. And the game I play with math, I call it figure 8, because it is like infinity, something never-ending. There is no game less entertaining than this, because in figure 8, I can never win. It’s a losing game that ends with my math assignments getting the better of me.”
Max explains:
“An eighty-one might look like an eighteen to me, like they were switched at birth. I’m sure you get it by now. I am numerically challenged. I have dyscalculia, a disorder that (they tell me) means I have a problem grasping numbers. Sometimes they slip from my mind like water from a sieve, and somehow, I am just left with a gaping hole.”
But Max’s problems are about to get better! Read Figure Eight to find out how.

Go To It 2: Gemstones by Deborah C. Sang
Deborah C. Sang Presents:
The romantic adventure Gemstones fantasizes about finding interesting places, ones ripe with romance and food, while also drawing awareness to saving the rainforest and its ecosystem.
Romance and ecology in one book!
The second book in this captivating series continues the adventures of Gee St. Canopy, a single woman living in New York City.
Her journey toward finding true love and Mr. Right takes her to interesting places, including the rainforests of the Caribbean.
There Gee learns to appreciate the islands’ culture, food, and ecology.
Of the many acres of land in the town, Gee only purchased 7½ acres of land as she thought this was very sufficient to build her dream ranch cottage upon. Indeed, the cottage was looking like a sprawling dreamy lazy daffodil flower plant, all intact with a valley stream by the hill foot, the perfume from the plants filling the air with mystical fragrance and some misty spray, luscious guava trees, pimento trees, avocado trees, pomegranate, and cherry trees stood close by the riverbanks, fragrant roses, jasmines, and marigolds made up a part of this out & about lavish landscape a beautiful property.
Gee’s island paradise was not complete without a pool and a Jacuzzi:
Looking outside of the cottage windows, nestled on the private lawn, was the unique shaped swimming pool looking like a magnificent clover, with steps leading on the landing and into a hot tub Jacuzzi. Great for unwinding, relaxing, or to prevent any soreness of the muscles, certainly, a tension relief!
Now it’s time to bring in her romantic interest!

Homo Cosmicus 2: Titan A Science Fiction Novel by Todor Bombov
Todor Bombov Presents:
Homo Cosmicus-2: Titan is a sci-fi novel, sui generis, a sequel to the first Homo Cosmicus novel. It’s something like Arthur Clarke’s Odysseys, which, in his own words, are not direct continuations one to other.
The action takes place mostly on Titan, Saturn’s satellite, in 2069. Earth civilization rises to the dawn of a type-II civilization on the Kardashev scale, a civilization having full use of its solar system’s planets and satellites.
Titan turns out to be the mankind’s goldmine. Interplanetary trade relies exclusively on Titan as the key hub. From here, massive deliveries of hydrogen and nitrogen departed to the colonies on Mars, Venus, the asteroids, and Jupiter’s and Saturn’s satellites. The settlements on them grow at accelerated rates together with the expeditions of exploration there.
NASA and the private corporation CSC have launched ten scientists on a mission to Titan. They get their inspiration from their own discoveries which the satellite, wrapped in dusk and mystery, conceals. And at that moment, all of a sudden, deaths begin to shower down, one after another. Are they murders or just accidents? One by one, the mission’s members die ominously and mysteriously. Things worsen until Dr. Eddie Roberto disentangles the tangle of crimes. Those weird deaths follow a fixed sequence, the sequence in a minstrel song known from Agatha Christie.
And what does Earth, with its new civilization of GMO men, cyborgs, and androids, look like? What kind of civilization is it? What is its future?

HaDavar (The Word ofיהוה ) : The Tanakh and Brit Khadashah Scriptures Volume I by Daniel Perek
Daniel Perek Presents:
Anyone looking for a deeper meaning of the Biblical texts from a Messianic perspective will appreciate this impeccably researched volume.
This is the first of a series of four volumes. The books were written to give a more accurate Hebrew/Jewish rendering of the texts, without giving up the beauty of scripture for English readers.
This first volume contains the Hebrew version of the Tanak from the Masoretic text, as well as a new English translation of those texts. Everything is written in an English-friendly manner.
The book features a helpful glossary of translated terms from Hebrew to English.
For example:
Ben Adam equals “a son of man.”
Av equals “father.”
Avi equals “my father.”
Avinu equals “our father.”
The author’s English texts follow the Hebrew texts and clear instructions are included:
In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth. The portion’s name is just above the use of the name of that portion in the actual text, in small, bold print. The very first portion is called “B’resh*t,” and that is from the Hebrew side of the text, and is the very first word in the Bible. In this case, the portion is at the beginning of the chapter, but that is not always the case. “B’resh*t” means “In the beginning,” so the interpretation of that portion’s name is also bold in the English side of the text. This will make finding the portion each week more easily done. And the reader will immediately know what the portion’s name means.

The Max Faraday Chronicles by Jeffrey Shurlow Graham
Jeffrey Shurlow Graham Presents:
What would you do, if you suddenly woke up and discovered that you traveled back in time 24 years, to when you were 14 years old?
Thirty-four-year-old Max Faraday is a man living in two time periods – 24 years apart!
The tough Chicago cop just busted a Russian gang intent on setting off a nuclear bomb, when he needs to leave for his high school reunion in Michigan.
In his own words:
“My name is Max Faraday, Max to my friends. Nobody is going to believe me. Here I am putting it all on paper. It all began Thursday, July 11, 2002, the day before my 20-year Cavanaugh City High School reunion. I have heard it said to always start your stories with a bang.”
Max was staying with his friend Jamie Scott and his family. On the way home from the reunion, they picked up Jamie’s kids at the babysitter. Their little girl came out and bouncing a ball that fell out of her hands and landed in the street.
Max noticed that a passing car was speeding up, and his finely honed police instincts took over. He managed to get the little girl out of the way, but Max was the one hit by the speeding car.
When Max wakes up from a coma, he learns the date is September 1978, and he is now a 38-year-old man inside a 14-year-old’s body!
He can’t tell anyone, or they’ll think he’s crazy.
And now he’s in the eighth grade all over again.
Knowing what he knows about the future, what will Max do?
Imperial Atrocities: Skeletons in Colonial Closets
Michael Arnold Presents:
For over two centuries, from about 1750 to 1960, colonial empires dominated the world.
The native peoples in these colonies were starved, exploited, or ignored, while their conquerors were allowed to rule unchallenged.
Parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia, including the Middle East and India, were ruled with an iron hand.
In two cases, those of Ireland and India, natives were allowed to starve. Their colonial masters did nothing to help provide food that was available.
According to the book:
“At the Nuremburg Trials after the Second World War, two German Grand Admirals, Erich Raeder and Karl Dönitz, were convicted of what was described as ‘waging aggressive war,’ and ‘war crimes,’ and each was sentenced to a long period of imprisonment. It is interesting but perhaps disturbing to consider the circumstantial perspectives of their alleged ‘crimes’ as against the history of several of the nations who were assembled in what was claimed to be the administration of impartial justice.
“Sitting in judgement on that International Military Tribunal were the representatives of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France, and yet the waging of aggressive war was not unique to the Nazi regime. History’s largest empires, Roman, Ottoman, Spanish, British, or French, had acquired their domains largely through aggressive wars, and frequently wars against each other.”
There are not just “Skeletons in Colonial Closets.”
Man’s inhumanity to man is still happening today, which makes this book about the colonial era especially relevant. Lessons learned from the past two centuries can help shape the modern era.
Pam the Dog: A Hawaiian Adventure by Janice Stravinskas
Janice Nikitin Stravinskas Presents:
Ever wondered what Hawaii is like?
In this beautifully illustrated children’s story, Walter’s dog Pam sees him doing his homework about the State of Hawaii. Pam suggests that the whole family go to the beautiful island for a vacation.
Young readers will learn all about Hawaii when Pam joins Walter and his parents on their fun-filled trip.
“Here we are in Hawaii. There is so much to see, and I like the smell of the beautiful flowers. Look at the coconut trees. The first thing we will do is go to the beach. It is so warm and sunny, and the water is perfect.”
They all enjoy swimming on the beautiful beaches, and even try surfing and snorkeling.
“Walter and I are going swimming again. In Hawaii they like to go snorkeling, so we are going to try it too. Look at the fish family. There is mama fish and her children. Let’s wave to them. The fish in Hawaii all have bright colors. They are so beautiful.”
They also fly over an erupting volcano and then enjoy an island luau with plenty of food and hula dancing.
“Mom and Dad are ready for us to go to the luau now. Walter says a luau is a big feast, like a great big birthday party where you have lots of fun. After dinner there are Polynesian dancers who will show you how they dance.”
As the sun sets over the ocean, it’s time to say Aloha!
Child of Many
Suzanne Gene Courtney Presents:
Have you ever wondered if anyone in your family ever changed history, or if they were present at some of the world’s most momentous events?
Author Suzanne Gene Courtney follows the lives of her intrepid ancestors, as they helped shape American history.
From the arrival of the Mayflower in 1620, to the American Civil War in the 1860s, and right up to present day, she reveals the part her ancestors played in history, which “will help us all realize how connected we are through time and space.”
“The historical account of tracing my ancestry was accomplished by using factual dates, times, events, family trees, old tintype photos, letters, and actual conversations,” she states. “While researching, I noticed the apparent strength and perseverance of my ancestors, especially when multiple children in their large families did not survive childhood. Along with yearning to uncover my past, I wanted to explore and assuage my own fear of death and answer some questions about my inherited traits and tendencies.”
According to her ancestor George U. Eastman:
“The genealogy of a family is a cross section of a nation’s life. The thread winding through the years along with the life stories of other families makes a complete and enduring race. This thread of family life may have been strong or weak, as the individuals of different generations met or evaded life’s responsibilities, as they courageously fought for their convictions or stood by indifferent to their country’s welfare.”
Child of Many will encourage others to discover their own history.
300 Dog Food Recipes: Three-Ingredient Meals
Why would a veterinarian write a cookbook?
After practicing for over 40 years, Dr. Amy Cousino wrote this book because she has seen thousands of dogs that were malnourished due to a diet of eating only processed dog foods.
And feeding fresh foods is trending.
As she writes in the introduction to her new book 300 Dog Food Recipes: Three-Ingredient Meals:
“This cookbook is for all who love their dogs and want to help them have better nutrition and a longer healthier life. Back in 2007, during one of the most harmful pet food recalls ever experienced, I saw several patients die from eating production dog food and cat food which was adulterated with plastic. Because so many foods contained the same plastic, thousands of pets died, and the catastrophe for America’s pets was downplayed by the media who acknowledged only the deaths of six pets that had been diagnosed with laboratory testing. This was a rarity, since this testing was very costly and out of the reach of the average person. While the recall was still happening, I wrote my first pet food cookbook, How to Cook for Your Pet, because my clients were asking me for fresh food recipe options.
“I have determined a group of safe foods for dogs that are readily available at your local grocery store that you can use to make your dog’s fresh meals, and at a cost much lower than purchasing pre-made ‘fresh’ meals. Nothing is fresher than what you cook yourself from fresh ingredients you choose.”
This book features easy cooking instructions, snacks, and information on feeding dogs with illnesses.
Your dog will thank you! Happy cooking! Happy dog!
