Beyond The Pyre by Steve Costello
About Beyond The Pyre by Steve Costello
When Catharine and Ben go to their French home in Carcassonne, they meet a woman who looks just like Catharine, with whom she shares an instant affinity. Catharine’s spirit guide, Michael, connects her to ancient Carcassonne and the spirit of Elionor, whose thirteenth-century life entwines with Catharine’s modern one. Ben is concerned, but a journey of his own leads him to realise that not only Elionor’s and Catharine’s lives are interlinked, but his own and those of a whole group of people they know in the present world. A terrifying encounter with two false friends from the past – centuries past – and meetings with their age-old selves pull Ben and Catharine into the ancient crusades against the Cathar faith, to unearth a long-hidden secret. Can they defeat the evil twins, Les Deux, rewrite history and save their present, or will history repeat itself, 800 years in the future?

Amazon best selling author, Barbara Goss, lives in Western New York and to date has written 28 Christian/Clean Romance books, mostly westerns. She enjoys crossword puzzles, penny slots, reading, swimming, and her two cats, but not necessarily in that order. She tries to write exciting stories with a bit of God’s word spread within, without dominating the story.
Barbara began writing in 1988 and her first book, Forbidden Legacy, won first prize for fiction at a Christian Writers Convention in Titusville, Florida in 1989. This won her a book contract with Publishers: Fleming Revell and later Baker Books. She wrote four books for them under contract. She then took a few years off to work full time as a secretary to the county hospital and the local school system.
Barbara’s greatest influence in writing is the 100 books written by Grace Livingston Hill. As a Christian writer, she weaves a bit of godliness into the romance and adventure yet her books are always clean. Barbara is well on her way to catching up to Ms. Livingston as she is not working on book #30.
She is now turning her wonderful ebooks into Audiobooks. Look for them on Amazon and Audible.

The Hedge Fund
Since 1959 Fidel Castro’s Cuba has struggled along ninety miles off the coast of Florida, treated alternately as a threat and an economic basket case by the American Colossus.
Several generations of immigrants, mostly from Havana, have all but taken over Miami and found their way quickly into political and financial power. The Hedge Fund deals imaginatively with how all this plays out when the boisterous daughter of a wealthy, established St. Petersburg family, the Landaus, marries the son of a ruthless, upward-striving Cuban financier whose overnight rise depends on his connection to the Trafficante wing of the surviving Cosa Nostra.
The patriarch of the St. Petersburg contingent, Sylvan Landau, is a witty, mordant Jewish savant in his mid-sixties. Through investments in up-market real estate Sylvan has accumulated a fortune; when his new son-in-law’s father, Ramon Perez y Cruz, presents Sylvan with the chance to mortgage his best properties into a hedge fund Ramon controls and cash in on beach properties in Cuba when the regime relents, Sylvan cannot resist.
Sylvan’s son Michael, the narrator of the novel, a lawyer in his early thirties who has grown up in his father’s shadow, remains dubious from the start. Before long Michael has recruited the rangy brother of his Comanche lover Linda, Sonny. A seasoned military scout, Sonny directs a night raid on Ramon’s offices to recover crucial paperwork, Ramon responds; Sonny and Sylvan find themselves under attack by machine gun halfway into a boat ride through the Everglades.
Why is soon plain enough. Ransacking Ramon’s documents, Michael discovers that Ramon has been collecting huge payoffs smuggling assets out of Cuba for members of the collapsing Castro regime. Word leaks; before long both the Castroite hard-liners and the Trafficante backers of Ramon are gunning for both families. Everything culminates in the landmark National Hotel in Havana, where the powerful denouement plays itself through.

Author Bio:
Since graduating from Harvard College with high honors, Burton Hersh has adroitly sidestepped regular employment and persevered throughout a long and frequently tumultuous career as an independent writer. Following a six-year stint as a Fulbright Scholar and military translator in Germany, he returned to New York in the sixties to more than a decade as a successful magazine article writer. These easy-going editorial years — in a better literary America — were punctuated by the 1968 publication of Hersh’s first novel, The Ski People (McGraw Hill). Hersh’s persistent interest in contemporary American history led to the 1973 appearance of The Education of Edward Kennedy (Morrow), which quickly established itself as the standard work on the embattled liberal senator. The Shadow President (Steerforth Press) appeared in 1997, a universally acclaimed follow-up volume about Kennedy’s later career. Also offered by Morrow, The Mellon Family, came out in 1978, was a Book-of-the-Month-Club selection and, like The Education, wound up among the top fifty books in sales in the year it came out. Most of Hersh’s nineteen eighties went into the exhaustive interview and research requirements which were to generate The Old Boys (Scribner, 1992).
