Love, Loyalty & Dangerous Games
by Kawand S. Crawford
"Years of hearing people telling me I lived an exciting life prompted me to write Love, Loyalty & Dangerous
Games. This novel is a picturesque view of my own life lived through a young teenage hustler named Spanky, who ran the streets of New York City during the early 1990's. He, like I was, is a smooth cat that loves women and having fun. Additionally, his charm and charismatic ways earned him the respect and love of everyone around him. But, also, like myself, after being involved in an accident that left him paralyzed, he had plenty of time to reflect on his past behavior. His struggle depicts my own struggle to recover both physically and mentally with the assistance of people who loved him. Spanky later discovered that his accident was not an accident at all. Instead, it was the price he paid for being involved in one of the most dangerous games a young man could play." -Kawand S. Crawford... This book can be purchased by clicking HERE.

214 passengers aboard, most of them Jewish American athletes returning to the United States after competing in the Israeli Maccabiah Games. Convinced that the leader of Hamas is responsible for this senseless atrocity, senior members of the Mossad call for swift retribution against Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and his Islamic Resistance Movement. In Langley, Virginia, however, CIA director Donald Singletary is just as adamant that this operation does not bear the signature of Hamas, heretofore engaged in less sophisticated suicide bombings aimed at Israeli civilians. Lt. Todd Harrington leads his team of U.S. Navy SEALs in a successful "snatch 'n grab" extraterritorial abduction of the actual perpetrators, and takes them back to the U.S. for a highly publicized trial. But before the trial can be convened, a nuclear device is secreted into Florida, the detonation of which could result in catastrophic loss of life in the heart of Orlando's tourist mecca. Demands are made for the immediate release of the incarcerated terrorists. A dangerous impasse ensues...

The Sacrifice of the Sage Hen.
by Susie Schade-Brewer
Charlie West is stuck living a life she never asked for, never wanted. Some life-altering
decisions should be hers to make - who she marries - where she lives. But no one asks her what she wants. She lives in Independence, Missouri, the 'jumping off' city where two trails head toward the great West, exactly where she wants to be. But Grant, the man she was married off to at age 14, has put his foot down. "Not this year nor any other," he tells her. "I have a successful mercantile right here. Only a crazy person would go off down a dusty trail just to start all over again." Charlie is the daughter of a famous mountain man - with an insatiable appetite for adventure. Gutsy and feisty, she refuses to give up on her dream. It's not that she doesn't want to be good - she does. And she wants to please her man, yearning more than ever to hear his expressions of love for her. But like a wild cougar backed into a cage, there is another undeniable yearning inside her, one she cannot deny. To make things worse, recently there has been talk of war. Blood has already been spilled on both sides of the Kansas/Missouri border. The fervor and craze of the townspeople are reaching fever pitch, everyone talking about slavery - or emancipation - which for Kansas Territory?
Dirks Braelen is on the run from his life as a hired gun in Texas. He is ready to hang up his holster and try to find some peace for his soul. He may be ready to leave that life behind, but some men from his past are determined that will not happen. They have trailed him clear to Missouri, and vengeance and hate burn hot in their hearts. Dirks is trying to escape his past. Charlie is trying to escape her life now. To find what they seek, both must reach back into a tale from her father's past. They must discover the secret, the sacrifice of the Sage Hen.

a bohemian life in the city at the heart of the Cold War. Alice is besotted with Johnny, but on a trip to the East one day, Johnny meets and falls in love with a Russian aerialist in East Berlin. They begin an affair that leaves a trail of East-West transits, both legal and illegal, including one of the most daring crossings of the Berlin Wall. Twenty years on Johnny is the director of an aerial company and with an exciting new performance returns to Berlin, a new vibrant city, to face the ghosts of the past. The Last Dance over the Berlin Wall is a story of young love, decadence and tragedy in the walled-in city of West Berlin.
'An utterly compelling story which draws the reader into the fractured world of eighties Berlin, where life is fast paced, subversive, at times beautiful, but also tragic. Lisa Selvidge's writing is as eloquent and supple as the aerialiste at the heart of the book. This novel is a spellbinding tale of individual consequences spinning out from a striking political divide.' Sarah Law, Poet, Lecturer, London Metropolitan University.
'The avant garde, all night culture of West Berlin in the 1980s exists now only in the precarious memories of its punk rock survivors. Lisa Selvidge's novel allows those who were not there a glimpse of this extraordinary historic and cultural moment. Her characters are richly drawn, wholly convincing, and emblematic of that time and place.' Cid Pearlman, Choreographer, West Berlin resident 1984-1986.

Red
Contemporary Black British Poetry
Edited by: Kwame Dawes

This remarkable compilation succeeds in generating poems that find an intriguing resonance with each other while also revealing images and themes unique to the individual poets.

By Dick Bentley
A collection of stories and poems. Dick Bentley's work achieves depth without heaviness, but rather with a quirky freshness that makes reading a delight. From the fusion of wildwood and wealth in "Rough Camp" to the voice of the tender, protective mother who is the narrator of "First Day of School," from the playful exactness and prickly aloneness of "In your Letter That You Did Not Write Me" to the voice of the justified maniac in "Health Care," Dick's ability to enter the lives of widely different characters, and to speak out of their experience, is extraordinary.

Ticket to Ride
by Philip Scott Wikel
Set in the mid to late 70s, Ticket to Ride is an epic tale of two people coming-of-age in the wake of a world transformed by the currents
of social, political and philosophical upheaval that began in the 60s. Ten years of war in Vietnam, a "sexual revolution" filled with mixed messages, and a wide distrust of politicians, the government, organized religion and anything considered to be part of the "establishment," produced a social climate wherein our youth found it difficult to define their world. Enriched with allusions to literary and early rock 'n roll classics (many by the Beatles), readers of Ticket to Ride will see Morgan and Livy moving from being innocent 17-year-olds to becoming fully realized adults and, like America, anxiously redefining the ideas of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Ticket to Ride is comprised of two parts, subtitled Just Another Day and Got to Get You into My Life. Got to get You into My Life is the story of Morgan Blake who struggles with the fear of becoming like his angry, alcoholic father. Yearning to find a greater sense of peace and freedom, authentic love and his own voice as a writer, Morgan sets off on an odyssey, both internal and external, which ultimately brings Livy back into his life, as well as reunites him with his father after years of alienation. The second part, Just Another Day is the story of young Olivia Tinsley, a poor girl from East Finchley/London and her determination to raise herself from poverty and become a successful, self-reliant, and outspoken writer. Her journey includes meetings with hippies in Spain, U2 in Ireland and feminists in the extreme.

Vermin
By Adrienne Silcock
Gloria Eden, known as 'Glory', is a semi-literate, middle-aged woman living on the edge - a bag-lady. Her world is that of urban dereliction and social
vermin - drop-outs, misfits, the homeless.Her redeeming feature is the abundant energy with which she confronts a seemingly hopeless situation, often turning what might appear to be suffering and misery into comedy. Then, unexpectedly, she comes to the rescue of a young boy who has run away from home, Darren, and soon they are both on the run from the powers-that-be. In her debut novel, Adrienne Silcock enters the mind of this enterprising anarchic survivor and gives her a voice forged from vernacular speech at its most vigorous. Although written in a more conventional idiom, the six short stories that complete the volume are thematically related to Vermin and continue Adrienne Silcock's exploration of loners and social outsiders.

Sardinian Silver
By A. Colin Wright
A. Colin Wright was born and raised in Chelmsford, Essex, England. After serving as a linguist in the British Royal Air Force, Wright attended
Cambridge University, where he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees. In 1961 he lived for six months in Sassari, Sardinia, followed the next year by a longer period in Reggio Calabria. He speaks six languages reasonably fluently (including Italian), and can stumble along in two more. In 1964, he was appointed professor of Russian at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He remained at Queen's until his retirement in 1999 and still resides there today. Dr. Wright is married and has two grown sons. "Based on his own time on Sardinia, Wright's recent captivating and oftentimes hilarious novel Sardinian Silver follows the exploits of a young man trying to find love while assimilating to an archaically orthodox society. Sardinia in the 1960s was still very culturally undeveloped: the residents viewed mainland Italians and continentals (the British counted among them) as immoral and contaminated by modern society. In the tradition of Brideshead Revisited and The Lost Girl, Sardinian Silver is a charming and witty novel of growth, loss and realization." See also

Sink
By Wendel Messer
The Sink is a satire on driving and behavior. It mocks today's drivers, who have made bad driving a universal norm. It provides a satirical
perspective on a car culture gone badly wrong. The book's premise is that almost no drivers are competent, and that most of them practice daily for a collision. Recounted in the first person by a driving instructor, the author makes it plain that bad driving (antisocial driving) is the norm, and that anyone attempting to set standards is mercilessly punished. The author takes pains to place the driving culture in the context of the wider culture that spawned it, and also to relate it to human nature and popular culture, while hinting that the gods may bear the ultimate responsibility. This book is a dark commentary on human failure and the conditions of existence. Without being either science fiction or fantasy, the book has elements of both. Through its insights into typical driver mindsets, the book convincingly portrays drivers as being in the behavioral sink, and light-years away from their own self-images. This is a thought-provoking literary novel, a recognized road-safety tool, and world-class entertainment all in one.

Verus
and the Grand
Assembly of Believers
By Wendel Messer
VERUS is a satire on humankind's most evil and
persistent delusion: religion. Though some may see this book as profane, concepts such as "profanity" and "sin" have meaning only within the context of theism. For non-theists, the words have no meaning. And those who see theism clearly for what it is-not just a delusion but a great social evil-will no longer be bound by conventions of respect. Theism deserves no respect; and to accord it is neither rational nor honest. Though the book, at first glance, may give a contrary impression, the author's purpose in writing VERUS is not to make fun of any particular faith, but to ridicule the Grand Assembly of Believers, which is all those who devout themselves to a cult of the invisible. The author's sole motivation in choosing to write on this topic is duty informed by a habit of truth. Man is the measure of all things; and truth is the measure of all men. Truth alone is sacred, entitled to respect, and reverence. The truth knows no sides, belongs to no one, and is influenced by no one. It extends to infinity and endures beyond time. It is never qualified, it is never more or less, better or worse. It neither grows nor shrinks. It does not bend for a single tree ape, and not for millions of them, either. It is never revealed through prayer or by invocation. The road to it, though infiinite, is open to all who stand erect. CLICK HERE to order this book from Wendel Messer's website.
The Conquest of Canada
A Novel of Discovery
By Wendel Messer
This engaging historical novel by by Ontario writer
Wendel Messer chronicles life in New France, the French settlement in Canada in the seventeenth century. Messer skillfully blends fact and fiction, incorporating actual historical figures such as the great explorer Samuel de Champlain into his narrative. The principal theme of the novel is the encounter between the French and the Natives of Canada. Some tribes like the Montagnais, the Algonkin, and the Huron are friendly to the French, while the Iroquois are sworn enemies. Indeed, the threat of a slow death by unspeakable torture at the hands of the Iroquois hangs over the French settlement like a dark cloud. In lively, gripping prose, Messer depicts an assault on the settlement by the Iroquois that is successfully repulsed by the French. Priests and monks came to the new world explicitly to Christianize the Natives, and their lack of success causes them spiritual anguish.

Dangerous Games No Love No Loyalty
By Kawand S. Crawford
Playing the Dangerous Games of hustling, selling drugs and being a gangsta
turned Spanky into a quadriplegic. For most, that would have been enough to make them leave the game forever, but not Spanky. In this sequel to "Love, Loyalty & Dangerous Games," Spanky returns to New York City. His appetite for revenge and having money dictates his moves. Spanky returns to the game, seeking the love of the women he knew and the loyalty of his "man's". Only this time he finds out the truth. It's not long before he understands that words like loyalty, keeping it real and friends mean different things on the streets. Loyalty meant being true to someone as long as they're doing something for you. Keeping it real meant corrupting the hood with drugs, while convincing yourself it's something you would die or kill for. Friends are people who envy you, while waiting for an opportunity to take your place. In essence, he came to realize that true love and unwavering loyalty don't exist amidst the Dangerous Games played on the streets of New York City. Available at: www.donkawand.com

The New Professionalism: Connecting Science and Spirit
By Dr. Steve Liebowitz
Most of us consider ourselves professionals. But we’re old professionals, not in age, but in how we think about things. We rely on rationality, science and our left brains to the exclusion of intuition, spirit and our right brains. To relate to our work, families, communities and even ourselves more effectively we need to be new professionals, using both science and spirit, left brain and right, head and heart. Such a new professionalism would offer a way beyond using only the cold technique and icy expertise of old traditional professionalism, to enable us to include the enthusiasm, joy and compassion of our spiritual power, what Ralph Waldo Emerson called the energy of the “divine circuits.” We don’t have to put that energy into things, Emerson tells us, it’s there already. To reach it in ourselves and others, to have our personal and professional lives filled with that glow, we have to get the blocks, what Emerson called, our “bloated nothingness,” out of the way. Ring true? Emerson’s saying we’ve had it backwards all this time. Spirit -- enthusiasm, warmth, creativity and trust -- is the rule, not the exception. If we can get our bloated nothingness – our worry, fear, and solitary dependence on science and rationality, out of the way, spirit is what’s left. The book is soft cover, 150 pp, and contains exercises, examples, illustrations. A signed First Edition is available for $12.95 and that includes postage and handling!

Ticket to Ride
By Philip Wikel
Ticket to Ride is a timeless tale of two writers coming-of-age. While it's set in the late 70s Ticket to Ride is as universal in it's message as Homer's Odyssey.
Enriched with allusions to literary and rock 'n roll classics, readers of Ticket to Ride will see Morgan and Livy moving from being innocent 17-year-olds to becoming fully realized adults and, like America, anxiously redefining the ideas of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Ticket to Ride is comprised of two parts, subtitled Just Another Day and Got to Get You into My Life. Got to get You into My Life is the story of Morgan Blake who struggles with the fear of becoming like his angry, alcoholic father. Yearning to find a greater sense of peace and freedom, authentic love and his own voice as a writer, Morgan sets off on an odyssey, both internal and external. The second part, Just Another Day is the story of young Olivia Tinsley, a poor girl from East Finchley/London and her determination to raise herself from poverty and become a successful, self-reliant, and outspoken writer. Her journey includes meetings with hippies in Spain, U2 in Ireland and feminists in the extreme. Order from the publisher: https://www.createspace.com/3432710
