Healing for the Holes in Our Souls

Fort Lauderdale, Month 2008:  Every day we walk from our inner world through the common doors of human experience to the outer world in which we live, work, and play. From the first touch of the TV remote, computer,  iPod, or text message of the day, everything grabs at us. We are aware of hurricanes and storms, political intrigue, the latest sports scores, and the  outra-geous antics of both the famous and the foolish.  There seems to be no end to the noise.  As a result, a dilemma emerges as we attempt to hide our true reactions and real responses, so that we can be accepted.  Read more...

 


Homeland Maybe Not So Secure

 

Fort Lauderdale, Month 2008:  Post 9-11, the world we Americans knew changed drastically.  Our lives became more regulated; we became more afraid; and the U.S. government set up Homeland Security to watch over us and make sure we weren’t all terrorists.  But, as we know, the powers invested in this new department of the federal government have other implications, some imaginary and some frighteningly real. 

Craig Sullivan’s new novel, Hinkley County, is a timely fictional satire about the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department of a rural mid-western county.      Read more...


FLASHBACK ... to Better Times

 

Fort Lauderdale, Month 2008:  That 70s Show is still going strong on prime time television, and there is a reason.  While some might wonder what was so great about an age that spawned happenings, sit-ins, free love, and protest marches, others just look back and smile.  It was different then. 

The late 60’s and early 70’s was a tumultuous era of free love, psychedelic music, and social drug use that broke down barriers and crossed out cultural and racial boundaries. Bryan Goheen’s new book, Flashback, is a chronicle of happenings and mishaps while growing up with three brothers in the San Francisco area.     Read more...


OUTING THE MURDERER - ABOUT TIME ...

Fort Lauderdale, September 2008:  No matter how jaded we get, murder never fails to rouse us from our apathy.  Murder makes the headlines; murder entices us to watch new shows (or old ones); murder is at the heart of tragedy, and sometimes, it sets the stage for comedy as well.  One way or the other, murder is always dramatic.  Even when it’s an old murder, one that has seeped into the walls of a haunted house or one that’s lost in a young man’s past, murder, as Shakespeare put it, “will out.” It cannot be forgotten.       Read more...


Do It Now, as
Life Is Too Short!

Fort Lauderdale, August 2008:  Life is what you make it. It’s all about what we choose to do. The old adage – “Today is the first day of the rest of your life” –may be hackneyed, but it is also deadly  accurate. In his new book, Life Is Too Short: Choices in Life, Second Edition, David W. Dorris shows us a way to take control of our choices so that we can live "the good life." We only go through life once, and it’s not a rehearsal.  Read more...


New Novel with a Critical Message: Anyone Can Contract HIV

     

New York, NY, August 2008:  The United Nations reports that the AIDS epidemic is a “global catastrophe” responsible for over 20 million deaths worldwide, tens of millions of children left orphaned, and some 33.2 million people living with HIV. AIDS is among the leading causes of death worldwide, and is today the primary cause of death in Africa. In the United States, the Center for Disease Control estimates that over one million Americans are infected with HIV, and, shockingly, 24 to 27% of these people are not aware that they carry the virus      Read more...

 


Strange Things

Under the Hill…

 

Fort Lauderdale, August 2008:  Although there are still a lot of skeptics, more and more people are recognizing unusual extraterrestrial occurrences that cannot be explained away. In fact, on July 23, 2008, Dr. Edgar D. Mitchell – a highly-respected former American astronaut, who piloted the Apollo 14 lunar module and was the sixth man to walk on the moon – told the world that UFOs are real. As a guest on a well-known radio show, Mitchell explained that his insider position at NASA gave him access to top-secret information. He freely admitted there have been UFO cover-ups since the Roswell, New Mexico crash in 1947. In his book, Fire in the Hill, H. Fred Neale brings a new twist to this fascinating subject. Strange things exist in our world, and his town of Tejas Hill, Texas, could be hiding one of them.      Read more...

AMAZING, MOVING POETRY

Delta Blue 

by Russell Robison

 


 


A Sweeping Celtic Saga Written from a Feminist Perspective:

…a rib from Eve by Katherine Christensen Is Published by Llumina Press

 This Tale escorts the reader on an epic adventure in Savage Seventh Century Gaul during the final taming of the Caucasian tribes.

Tamarac, FL – In the spirit of The Lady of the Lake and other ancient tales with strong female protagonists, Katherine Christensen’s powerful new saga …a rib from Eve depicts a family of adventurous noblewomen in seventh century Gaul who not only survive, but thrive during turbulent times in our distant past. As described by Christensen, “It is an era when Pagan conversion to Christianity is at its peak and the patriarchal Catholic Church has gained a strong foothold in the Germanic and English kingdoms.  Rapidly the clergy are becoming fed up with the power and influence these women have over their men.”      Read more...

Aliens Invade Earth! 

 

Fort Lauderdale, September 2008:  Star Trek may be history, but sci-fi is alive and well.  And when it comes to sci-fi, there’s nothing like a well-put-together story involving an alien invasion of the earth.  It’s a tale that never gets old—them against us—and Tony Arthur’s new novel, The Chosen, brings this classic opposition to thrilling new heights of intrigue and terror.

 

When Earth is targeted for conquest by an alien power, Gabriel mysteriously receives a premonition and flees his home, just narrowly escaping the doom beginning to spread across the planet.    Read more...
