Book excerpt: There's some serious monkey business going on in Elizabethtown... Former beauty queen Cassie McCoy knows she doesn't deserve love. After all, she as good as killed her fiancé Mitchell in Afghanistan when she sent him an "I'm in love with your best friend" letter. Now, two years later, she's avoiding said best friend Darby, while she carries her guilt and Mitchell's ashes with her in the front seat of the taxi she drives. Things go sideways when Cassie is caught in the middle of a heist while picking up a customer at a local night club and her taxi is stolen-along with Mitchell's ashes. As the search begins, a rogue monkey who's been terrorizing the town is abandoned in her cab. What does the monkey have to do with the recent appearance of cocaine-stuffed candy bunny butts, and is Cassie now the monkey's mama? Forging an unlikely alliance with the bitch across the street, an old man intent on being her bodyguard, and a stud-licious cop, Cassie is intent on solving the mysteries and getting Mitchell back . . . until she realizes there's much more at stake than her missing car.

Book excerpt: This is the first collection of short stories by Zoran Torma. Each story possesses its own share of humor and sadness, and each is told through a diverse set of protagonists. We become immersed in their narrative when life is at dawn and at wane, each moment flowing into the next in the way of ordinary. The stories are told, so to speak, in two sittings. In the first part we find the disturbing anecdote of “The Tile Layer”, the unconditional love of the grandfather who was a one-time spy in “Givers and Takers”, a man’s lease on life and the sustenance of love in “Rose” and “Nina”, and the depths of loneliness in “Maytal”. In the second part of the book we face that last moment, the loss of everything, the loss immanent and irreversible. These stories are an exploration of how experience shapes us, revealing that everyone is a storyteller in the end.

Download or read book My Miracle written by Evelyn Stewart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I, too, was a victim of abuse. I thought I had to endure the suffering. Bless your good works and your caring heart." Francine, internationally acclaimed poet (http: //poetry-emotion.com) "This isn't the same ol'-same ol' story of a woman raised with incest in her background and an alcoholic parent to contend with. It's the story of a woman born into a loving family who suffered at the hands of a man who lured into his web, then spent the next thirty years of their life attempting to destroy her. He only made her stronger. It's the story of our culture, with a rich texture of the 40s, 50s and 60s woven into the fabric of the author's astounding words. Spellbinding, with a hint of John Steinbeck on every page." Marjorie Cox, public speaker "I live every day of my life grateful to have survived what so many young women haven't survived. Maybe I had to tough it out in order to pass along some of my history to those who feel that they, and they alone, are in such abusive situations that no one will ever understand. My message to them is to believe in miracles. And to believe in yourself. With God, all things are possible. I'm living proof of the truth of that statement." Evelyn Fort Stewart

Book excerpt: Hailed as “Fallada’s best book” (The New Yorker), this sprawling post-WWI is a portrait of Berlin in a time of great upheaval—and of the common man’s struggle to survive it all Set in Weimar Germany soon after Germany’s catastrophic loss of World War I, the story follows a young gambler who loses everything in Berlin, then flees the chaotic city, where worthless money and shortages are causing pandemonium. Once in the countryside, however, he finds a defeated German army that has decamped there to foment insurrection. Somehow, amidst it all, he finds romance—it’s The Year of Living Dangerously in a European setting. Fast-moving as a thriller, fascinating as the best historical fiction, and with lyrical prose that packs a powerful emotional punch, Wolf Among Wolves is the equal of Fallada’s acclaimed Every Man Dies Alone as an immensely absorbing work of important literature. “An unmissably brilliant portrait of Berlin before the Nazis.” —The Times of London

Download or read book JUST ANOTHER COUNTRY A Novel written by John Moody and published by Brick Tower Press. This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Just Another Country, Moody brings an emotionally shattering, politically infuriating conclusion to his fact-based trilogy of China’s relentless attempts to destroy the United States, be it through a deadly virus, an endless wave of illegal immigrants, shipments of fentanyl, or Artificial Intelligence. Worst of all, Chinese AI Bots have acquired emotions and are now turning humans into their slaves. Moody’s warnings about the decline of the U.S. and China’s escalating threat to the West in his three volumes have been largely borne out in recent years. As Xi Jinping, the iron-fisted leader of the Chinese Communist Party, accelerates his drive for global superiority, naïve, heedless Americans fret over racial hatred, inequality, gender identity, sexual freedom, celebrity singers, TV shows and Donald Trump’s hair. JFK’s famous “Ask not” speech has been turned on its head. In today’s America, E Pluribus Unum has been deformed into Gimme gimme gimme. Moody presents a parallel, interwoven tale of America’s troubled relations with Mexico and its longstanding failure to control the flood of illegal immigrants along its southern border. With flashbacks to another refugee from the former Soviet Union, it’s clear that no matter the century, no matter the politics, no matter the truth, unless it changes its self-satisfied, self-defeating ways, America risks becoming Just Another Country. Praise for Of Course They Knew, Of Course They... “Americans know something is wrong but have been silenced by political correctness. These characters have a voice.” —Sean Hannity “John Moody has made a major contribution to our understanding of the Covid disaster. His novel will enlighten every person who reads it. I found it fascinating.” —Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Praise for The World We Wish “The World We Wish takes the reader inside the stark realities of the Chinese communist system. A fascinating and intriguing story that seems too real to be fiction.” —Bill Gertz, journalist and author of Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China’s Drive for Global Supremacy “Drenched in black humor, The World We Wish offers insight into a nation that echoes history’s most notorious regimes... Its greatest strength may be its knack for revealing what’s kept at arm’s length from us via the media and academia.” —Christian Toto, author, editor of HollywoodinToto.com
