Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. Why She Left Us by David Dennis
   David Dennis was born, raised, and educated in Providence, Rhode Island, and chose a career in teaching English in a neighboring city. Ever since he was in fifth grade, he's enjoyed writing stories of one sort or another, and while attending college, he became immersed in the writing of a gigantic fictional family saga. Much later, he basically extracted one of the sub-plots of that family saga and expanded it into the present novel "Why She Left Us." In so doing, he also experimented with the timeline and utilized five different narrators, so that the story itself starts out rather hazily and gradually comes into focus, with the reader learning which narrators' perceptions are to be trusted and which ones ought to be regarded with some skepticism. At the same time, while there are dramatic, and even tragic elements involved, the novel also contains a certain amount of humor, as well as romantic interludes.
2. 5 Gears Diet
   Diana Artene is a licensed physical therapist since 2003. After she graduated Medical University she extended her medical knowledge in sport nutrition, nutrition for weight loss and children nutrition as she became a nutritionist. She advocates a healthy lifestyle in which all foods can be eaten and no long workouts are necessary to be fit and slim as long as we are fully informed. Her brutally honest book "5 Gears Diet" provides all the information we ever needed to know about fat gain and fat loss, so we can get how these mechanisms work once and for all. Although she believes in free will and that our weight reflects the choices we've made, she clearly describes the limits of your responsibility and completely dismisses self blame.
3. A Flicker Of Light
   When I was a child my mother kept a black suitcase in our basement. She forbade me to look inside. Of course as we all know the way to spark a child's curiosity is to tell them they are forbidden to do or see a particular thing. One afternoon when my mother was out, I raced down stairs. Nobody was around so I opened the suitcase. Inside I found pictures and letters in a foreign language. Later that night I asked my mother what all of it meant. She told me that she was trying to protect me by keeping the suitcase out of my reach, but since I'd found it I might as well know that she and my father both lost their entire extended families in the Holocaust. So began my obsession with the Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe. Being that my father was Romany and my mother was Jewish, I had many aspects to research and much to learn. Finally, many years later...I wrote my first novel. It is set in this period. It comes to you, along with all of my work, from my heart, with love and hopes that someday there will be understanding and tolerance among all peoples. I thank you so much for your interest in my writing. Love, Blessings, Good Fortune, and as the Gypsies say Good Road to all of you,
