  • Waiting for Tuesday: Suspicious Hearts Book Two

    Taylor Sullivan

    eBook (Good House Publishing, Oct. 10, 2016)
    The night I met John Eaton I knew I should run. I didn’t know if it was his confidence, his deep brown eyes, or his smile–a mixture of little boy and pure devil at the same time. Just the sight of him left me unsteady. After being constantly uprooted throughout my childhood, I craved a home, and John was the antithesis of that. I needed stability, and he was the man standing on a bar, a bottle of whisky in one hand, and tequila in the other. I never thought I’d see him again, and I never thought a bombshell of a secret would fall into my lap. One that could destroy him. One that would destroy us. Waiting for Tuesday is a STAND ALONE NOVEL and part of the suspicious hearts series.Each book is written to be enjoyed on it's own, while following shared characters throughout the series.
  • War and Peace

    Leo Tolstoy

    eBook (DB Publishing House, Aug. 23, 2011)
    War and Peace is generally thought to be one of the greatest novels ever written, remarkable for its dramatic breadth and unity. Its vast canvas includes 580 characters, many historical with others fictional. The story moves from family life to the headquarters of Napoleon, from the court of Alexander I of Russia to the battlefields of Austerlitz and Borodino. Tolstoy's original idea for the novel was to investigate the causes of the Decembrist revolt, to which it refers only in the last chapters, from which can be deduced that Andrei Bolkonski's son will become one of the Decembrists. The novel explores Tolstoy's theory of history, and in particular the insignificance of individuals such as Napoleon and Alexander. Somewhat surprisingly, Tolstoy did not consider War and Peace to be a novel (nor did he consider many of the great Russian fictions written at that time to be novels). This view becomes less surprising if one considers that Tolstoy was a novelist of the realist school who considered the novel to be a framework for the examination of social and political issues in nineteenth-century life.War and Peace (which is to Tolstoy really an epic in prose) therefore did not qualify. Tolstoy thought that Anna Karenina was his first true novel.Includes a Biography of the Author

  • Do I Look Odd To You: A multicultural children's book about embracing diversity.

    James McDonald, Rebecca McDonald

    Paperback (House Of Lore Publishing, June 15, 2015)
    “I could be red… I could be green… I could be somewhere in between…”Diversity comes to life in the night sky of a faraway world where being different is quite normal.This is a wonderful book for every child’s collection, written as an engaging poem for kids, with rich illustrations reminiscent of the works of Vincent van Gogh.Imagine, if way out in space, on a planet far, far away there were other diverse cultures with differences and similarities just like we have in our world. Would we be tolerant? Do I Look Odd To You uses space as a starting point for a discussion on accepting differences and imagining a universe as multicultural as our own. As we explore the possibilities in space, we can relate those discoveries to the world around us and hopefully become more accepting of others.The multicultural nature of humanity is one of our great strengths. It stimulates change and growth, so why do trivial physical appearances cause so much strife in the world? On a closer look we share far more similarities, so why is it so easy to focus on the little differences? These are some of the questions brought up by a very unique alien character in the book. “You’ll find as you travel through space that there are very few creatures with the same looking face.” As humans, our appearance is always changing, from birth to the elder years, we go from small to big and smooth to wrinkled, and along with those physical changes, we value change and growth in our character and personality. One of the most important aspects of being human is acceptance for who we are, as we are, so it’s quite odd that accepting uniqueness in others would be so difficult.Imagining a world without the rich multicultural communities that define humanity would be a bleak and boring vision. Do I look Odd To You is an imaginative and straightforward way to start the crucial but difficult discussion of racism and prejudices. And like the little alien in the book says: “If we can embrace our differences, then it’s easy to see that you can be you and I can be me!”
