Download or read book El Paso Sunrise written by Louis Bodnar and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Paso Sunrise is the first of two stand-alone novels that together make a story of love, passion, obsession, intense hate, pure evil, violence, and horror, all brought keenly alive against the panorama of the radical transformation of America. After the Second American Civil War, the country has been radically transformed by progressives, Muslim radicals, and the American left from a Constitutional Republic to a Marxist dictatorship led by a Muslim President. In El Paso, Texas, the Russian and Muslim terrorist assassination squad is on its way to kill Steven Vandorol, a lawyer leading the Texas prosecution of Federal government corruption. Steven had all but lost everything when he fell hard from grace in the ultra-rich Sunbelt. Escaping to Washington, D.C., he once again finds himself embroiled in evil, corruption, sexual obsession, and addiction before confronting his own demons to find peace and serenity in El Paso ... but can he force his country and the government to face their demons before it’s too late? Retired lawyer Louis Bodnar portrays a future with the literal choking of Canada, Great Britain, Europe, the Middle East, and particularly the sovereign state of Israel by Islamist radicals, ISIL, Hezbollah, Hamas and the spreading malignancy of worldwide Islamist Muslim Caliphate. It is a story of excruciating pain, complex emotions, crisis, and survival that draws darkly profound conclusions about today’s crumbling American society. While El Paso Sunrise is a graphic story about evil in this world, it is also a timeless love story about goodness, faith, grace, and friendship blossoming during a national emergency—a clarion call to the world to remember what truly matters.

Download or read book A Desert Feast written by Carolyn Niethammer and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on thousands of years of foodways, Tucson cuisine blends the influences of Indigenous, Mexican, mission-era Mediterranean, and ranch-style cowboy food traditions. This book offers a food pilgrimage, where stories and recipes demonstrate why the desert city of Tucson became American’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Both family supper tables and the city’s trendiest restaurants feature native desert plants and innovative dishes incorporating ancient agricultural staples. Award-winning writer Carolyn Niethammer deliciously shows how the Sonoran Desert’s first farmers grew tasty crops that continue to influence Tucson menus and how the arrival of Roman Catholic missionaries, Spanish soldiers, and Chinese farmers influenced what Tucsonans ate. White Sonora wheat, tepary beans, and criollo cattle steaks make Tucson’s cuisine unique. In A Desert Feast, you’ll see pictures of kids learning to grow food at school, and you’ll meet the farmers, small-scale food entrepreneurs, and chefs who are dedicated to growing and using heritage foods. It’s fair to say, “Tucson tastes like nowhere else.”
