From Robert Burns
The Bard Eternal Shakespeare lives! At least in spirit and the muse is ever at hand. His is a story that spans the ages, a tale of sonnet and song and the power of inspiration upon the human spirit. So follow, through the mind of Thomas Tuck, from the battlefields of ancient Greece to the shores of Roman Italy to the forests of Chaucer's England and beyond. Here is a love story for all time and a love that shall never die. You have but to turn a page and the adventure shall begin.

From Shannon Willitts Falk
52 Sisters Life Behind the Razor Wire Fence That is Shannon Willitts Falk's story. The story she tells is the raw and honest account of her life in the Sonoma County women's jail, which, surprisingly, ends in a revelation that changes her future. Falk's diagnosis with bipolar disease changes everything. And as life rafts go it is better than rehab because it brings understanding to the confusion.

From Patricia Rose Gilles
Echoes of the Moon Flower Echoes of the Moon flower is a book of eclectic poetry which covers subjects such as Nature. Eroticism, Family, Long Poems, Miscellaneous subjects. Spirituality and Dark Poetry. Each chapter has its own theme so that it can feel like you are reading seven short books instead of one longer one. The Gently Erotic poems are about my relationship with my husband and can be used with your imagination to feel that your relationship can be substituted in the poem. The Dark Poetry (Shadow Side of a Rose) has to do with subjects such as rage, deception, rape, anger, abuse and other more negative emotions that are hardly ever expressed in poetry books. They give voice to the dark side of humanity. Long poems are just that: long. They should be read when you are in the mood for a story. Don't read them in a hurry or you will miss the rich imagery of the poem. Spirituality is about the divine. Some of the poems are about God and others are about Jesus. There are a couple of prayers to Mother God for those who believe she exists. The chapter on family deals mainly with my child-rearing years and poems about my children. Again each chapter can be read like a book. I hope you enjoy my compilation of poems. This rendering took me thirty years to write. I hope my next book will go a little faster.

From Georgia Jones
Things Relative Is there a double blind test for the existence of God? Take a little bit of Elmer Gantry; a dash of David Korish; wrap them up in a lovely young woman, an orphan; substitute the local planning department for the ATF; throw in two reverends and a gospel caravan, a con artist named Marcus, a streetwalker called Tricks, several twists and turns, and a baby… Then, like a cherry on top, drop one piece of space debris into the whole, and have it all told by Moany, the adoptive sister of the orphan, and you have a recipe for delight in the shape of Things Relative, Based on a Nearly True Story a satirical novel by Georgia Jones.

From Jerry Lee Murrell
The Red Boat Poetry, visually and emotionally moving. This book is the product of a Mississippi Gulf view and an uplifting world view. There is nothing as mundane as blue skies in this book but sky, sea, land, and love for those who inhabit them are portrayed with a richness of image and depth of word play that is unusual in modern poetry. An excellent read and a book that can become a companion. ~from Jerry Lee Murrell

From Georgia Jones
The Rush A new poetry collection by Georgia Jones100 poems about the gold rush, the drive, the experience and the aftermath. The Rush is divided into five parts: The Lust, The Land, The Work, The Life and The Future. Climb the mountain and experience what those early adventurers found. "I live in a place famed for its Gold Rush history, among people who did not find gold-because those who did have moved on. This odd proximity of imagined wonders to the bitterness just below the surface has created an environment as strange as The Rush itself. Most of us write about the world around us. This is my world."

From Ann Sutherland
Back Ward In the 1930s Dr. James Freeman introduced into state hospitals throughout the United States a lobotomy procedure known as ice pick surgery for the treatment of psychotics which left its victims with wide, black circles around their eyes. The black eyes, as these patients were called, were forced onto the back wards - wards hidden from view, far back on the asylum grounds where visitors are not allowed - where patients die. In the historical novel, Back Ward by Ann Sutherland, the brutal treatment of psychiatric patients during this post World War II period and the emerging feminist and civil rights movements that would expose, and change forever, the treatment of women and the mentally ill in the United States is dramatically portrayed.

From Danielle Joy Linhart
From Deep Within "In my heart I believed that I wasn’t good enough for anyone else and that I couldn’t get anyone else who would put up with me. So, I accepted the relationship and all of the consequences that it brought. I even protected him and stuck with him because I thought that I was the cause of everything. Feeling at fault became a normal feeling for me and I blamed everything that went wrong in the relationship on myself. No matter how bad I could have been, there is absolutely no excuse for mental and physical abuse. The fear that my boyfriend created stopped me from getting help and stopped me from confiding in others." This is an important story for every teen and everyone with a teen in their life, and the book not only warns but offers help. We are grateful to Danielle Joy Linhart for writing her story so other young girls may avoid such abuse.

You have read her good advice, now have it in your book case.. in our book store. Buy it here and save! Light Hearts and Heavy Packs by Lesli Brown
 To tell you it was all great and there were never any tears would be a lie but when it’s all said and done, I would pack my things tomorrow and head right back out there. It is a sense of freedom that not many experience, it is being one with the things around you and realizing that we are a very tiny part of this incredibly large world. It gets in your blood and makes you thirst for more. It is freedom and beauty in every sense of the word. It is hiking to the highest peak and looking at what’s before you but never forgetting what’s behind. It is a million different smiles and a million different tears, blisters and mosquitoes and the most unimaginable sunsets, raging rivers and desert skies. It is the trail; it will live in me forever. I cannot honestly say that there is a single day that goes by that I don’t think about being on the trail. It is a feeling you cannot fully understand until you’ve been there. So here is my journal, the closest thing I can give in terms of putting it all down on paper. Read and enjoy with an open heart and mind. Visit Lesli's blog about hiking.
