About Featured Book: Beyond the Song by Carol Selick

Beyond the Song is an autobiographical novel based on the author’s coming of age in the ‘sixties and early ‘seventies. A singer-songwriter like her alter-ego Carol Marks, Carol Selick begins each chapter with lyrics she wrote and still performs today. Taken together, the songs introduce the themes of her story and trace the development of her character as she rebels against her strict suburban upbringing to join the counter-culture in hopes of fulfilling her dream of making it in the music business.

The narrator relates her tale in a warm, vulnerable, and irrepressibly zany voice as Carol goes to school in Washington DC, drops out to take a pilgrimage to Berkeley, and eventually winds up living in New York in pursuit of making it in the music business. Torn between romance and career, she continually wavers.

Her quest for freedom lands her in a series of dangerous situations and narrow escapes: she hitchhikes in California at the time of the Manson murders, attends anti-war demonstrations that turn violent, and is nearly arrested when her boyfriend is nabbed in a drug raid.

Along the way, the narrator also meets two important guides who help her sort her priorities, take herself seriously, and develop her considerable talents: Rose, a pioneering black woman songwriter based on hall-of-famer Rose Marie McCoy, Carol’s real-life mentor; and Bruce Pasternak, a fictionalized psychoanalyst who helps her establish the self-assurance to stand on her own two feet at a time when female singer-songwriters had few role models. All inform the heroine’s lyrics and narrative voice as she gradually learns to believe in herself, discipline her talent, and turn her heartbreak into song.

The Winds of Morning by Gifford MacShane

1848: the third year the potato crop failed in Ireland. The Protestant landlords have absconded back to Britain, leaving the Catholic peasants to fend for themselves, while the English feast on the massive amounts of Irish food they’re importing every day.

With two younger brothers to feed, Molly O’Brien takes her father’s place on the road gang, building a road that runs from her tiny village to the river and no farther. Yet fifteen hours of labor a day will not garner enough wages to buy food for her family.

She is beyond despair. Beyond prayer. And so far beyond the tenets of her childhood, she has decided to offer her body to the first man with the price of a loaf of bread.

But when a stranger takes her hand, he will change Molly’s life in ways she could never have imagined.

Author Bio:

Gifford MacShane is the author of historical fiction that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. Her novels feature a family of Irish immigrants who settle in the Arizona Territory. With an accessible literary style, MacShane draws out her characters’ hidden flaws and strengths as they grapple with physical and emotional conflicts.

Singing almost before she could talk, MacShane always loved folk music, whether Irish, Appalachian, or the songs of cowboys. Her love of the Old West goes back to childhood, when her father introduced her to Zane Grey. She became interested in Irish history after realizing her ancestors had lived through the Great Potato Famine. She’s combined these three interests into a series of romances, each with traditional song lyrics and a dash of Celtic mysticism.

The DONOVAN FAMILY SAGA includes WHISPERS IN THE CANYON (Book 1), THE WOODSMAN’S ROSE (Book 2), RAINBOW MAN (Book 3), and THE WINDS OF MORNING, a prequel novella requested by her fans.

MacShane is a member of the Historical Novel Society and is an #OwnVoices writer. An avid gardener, Giff cultivates pollinator plants and grows tomatoes (not enough) and zucchini (too much). A self-professed grammar nerd, Giff currently lives in Pennsylvania with her husband Richard, the Pied Piper of stray cats.

My name is Lynn Anderson and I am a forty-something, single mother of 2 great kids, living in the beautiful city of Vancouver in Canada.Until recently, my life looked pretty standard from the outside, with a husband, 2 children, a house (it didn’t have a white picket fence, but it had a hedge!) and me working a steady, typical day-job.Secretly though, something was killing me. It was even unknown to me, until something changed. Something in me changed. Instead of letting depression take over my life, as it had throughout my teen years and 20’s, I learned (after much medication) that life didn’t have to be like this. Slowly, Imade steps toward self-knowledge that led me to the path I am on today. The path I feel I was meant to be on. I’m still on the journey, and it was worth all the effort so far! I’m committed to living this way from now on. I felt the need to share with the world what I discovered, in the hopes that it may help someone else in similar circumstances, hence the writing of this book

About Species Representative

Species Stimulation: that’s the program the people of Vutwahn started to help other intelligent species in the galaxy grow beyond their original planetary boundaries. They find a species with the technology to get to space but no initiative to get far from home. Instead of landing, introducing themselves, and solving the problems of the species they find, they pick one lucky – or unlucky – individual and take him or her to another planet to explore, return with samples, and convince everyone else that a second home planet is reachable. Gary Weiss, an unassuming deep-water researcher from California, is the human species representative. If he survives the journey of a lifetime, he’ll have quite a story to tell when he returns to Earth. But the galaxy can be a dangerous place, and surviving is harder than it sounds.
