1. The Family Angel -

   About The Family Angel:

   This sequel and partial parallel to CHICAGO’S HEADMISTRESS stands alone as an Italian/American saga. Follow the Americanization of the Baggio family through sixty years of romance, deception, crime, and redemption. From immigrant bootleggers and coalminers to proud winemakers and ambitious priests, only a few family members will encounter the chameleon-like Black Angel who shows up when least expected to offer advice or merely observe. After all, there’s only so much one family angel can do to save troubled people from themselves.

   Petty bootleggers Carlo Baggio and his brother Jake are enjoying the good life in 1925 Prohibition Chicago until Carlo enters into an arranged marriage with a bride from Italy and Jake gets run out of town for cheating on the boss’s daughter. In the aftermath Carlo takes a bullet for Jake and is ready to cash in his chips until a black angel that Carlo dubs L’Angelo Nero convinces him otherwise–and more than one time. For the next fifty years the Baggio brothers and their families will experience hardship, tragedy, rewards, and the unwelcomed honor of Carlo’s son becoming a priest.

   Years later L’Angelo Nero visits Carlo’s grandson Frank, the only survivor of a life-altering experience that prompts Frank to follow his uncle into the priesthood. Eventually, Frank winds up in Rome, training for the prestigious Vatican Diplomatic Corps. He encounters the angel again, along with a mysterious warning that leads Frank to choose between the diplomatic career he has coveted for years or sparing the life of a priest defying Catholic tradition.

   Author Bio:
   Loretta Giacoletto was recently named a finalist in the 2014 “Soon to be Famous Illinois Author Project.” She divides her time between the St. Louis Metropolitan area and Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks where she writes fiction, essays, and her blog Loretta on Life while her husband cruises the waters for bass and crappie. Their five children have left the once chaotic nest but occasionally return for her to-die-for ravioli and roasted peppers topped with garlic-laden bagna càuda.

   An avid traveler, Loretta has visited countries in Europe and Asia but Italy remains her favorite, especially the area from where her family originates: the Piedmont region near the Italian alps.

   Her novels focus on characters caught up in problems of their own doing, crime often laced with romance that may not end happily-ever-after.

   ITALY TO DIE FOR, from her Savino Sisters Mystery Series, shows how too much togetherness can spell disaster for two thirty-something sisters vacationing in Italy. In LETHAL PLAY a grieving widow is suspected of killing her son’s coach, a man with more enemies than friends. FREE DANNER features a cynical young man whose troubled past and deadly encounters hinder his search for the father he has yet to meet.

   FAMILY DECEPTIONS presents two generations of earthy characters who learn to thrive and/or survive through a series of misdeeds. THE FAMILY ANGEL is a saga about the Americanization of an Italian family of bootleggers, coalminers, winemakers and priests, and a mysterious black angel who sticks his nose in the family business. CHICAGO’S HEADMISTRESS, a prequel and partial parallel to THE FAMILY ANGEL, follows a 1905 Italian street urchin’s notorious rise to wealth and power as the headmistress of Night School, Chicago’s most infamous men’s club in the 1920s.

   A COLLECTION OF GIVERS AND TAKERS is an anthology of twisted stories about the good, the bad, the self-centered and the disillusioned. Loretta’s short stories have appeared in a number of publications including Literary Mama, which nominated her story “Tom” for Dzanc’s 2010 Best of The Web.

   Glen Douglas is the pen name of Glen (Douglas) Ford. He was born in Hamilton, ON, Canada on a cold winter’s day in 1952. Born on one side to a Welsh-Canadian family and the other a Scottish-Irish-Welsh-Canadian family, he claims to have come by his love of contradictions, variety, language and business naturally.

   Glen grew up on the one and only land development of the biggest farmer in his home town of Fruitland in the middle of fruit trees, grapevines, and forest. He has been gardening since he could hold a shovel and building since he could hold a hammer. It’s not surprising then that he writes on gardening and building stuff. He is especially interested in writing about gardening and building for the mobility challenged.

   Glen lives in Mississauga, ON Canada with his wife Lisa (an artist and museum technologist), two children (a boy and a girl) and two black cats.

   About ‘Tales of Rhythm & Music Notes’ by Chrissy Tetley:

   Wombat is having cello lessons but is finding that learning how to read music and understand the meaning of music notes and values, is much too hard to understand.

   Accompanied by Koe Koala and Pocket, the red kangaroo, Wombat visits the Music Shed where the animals enjoy movement and rhythm discussions with Professor Anacrusis.

   But while they are busy working out note values, and playing with music notes in the train carriages, there is trouble brewing at the Music Shed. So what really happens when some of the music notes decide to run away?

   Author Bio:
   OK I admit it. I write stories about bush animals learning music.

   The ideas came from teaching children about the joys of music, and when I told them fun stories about animals learning music, they thought this was ‘cool!’

   Last year was such a special year in which I stepped over the line from class room teacher and musician, replacing hectic with glam pyjamas, coffee, breakfast, dog training and looking after our small farm with its variety of fun farm animals, to become an author of stories and books for children’s music education.

   Music is such a rich experience and everyone should know as much about music as they can. But music theory can be so complicated.

   Our books and stories written for Music on the Bookshelf have been developed to provide storybooks about music for young children, and chapter books for primary age children. [ In print, EBook and audio book formats.]

   The engaging stories encourage discussion about why music makes us feel so good, giving all students the opportunity to enrich their lives through the understanding of music and musical instruments.

   Old fashioned story telling that sneaks a musical education in the background.

   I have enjoyed playing flute in productions ranging from Musical Comedy to Savoy Operas, Arts Theatre Children’s productions and Concert Society Orchestras. Any other spare moments, musically speaking, were involved with friends playing in the musical ensembles, for weddings and private functions.

   About Lines of Space by Devinder Dhiman

   Sahil is a student aspiring to get admission to an engineering institute, but finds it difficult to understand science. Then his father undertakes the task of helping him, and in the process, finds himself contemplating on the reasoning of origin of Matter and the Universe. He develops an interest to find out how everything in the Universe originated. Big-Bang theory of Origin of Universe does not seem convincing to him. So, he continues his quest and contemplation further, and explores the possibility of creation of Universe from Space in some other manner. He finds very interesting connections in some invisible medium of space and various aspects of physics. Though, he provides elucidation to Sahil on the predominant theories of science, yet he secretly keeps working on his own idea of invisible medium of space, where, he is necessitated to part ways with the prevailing theories. He named this medium as ‘Lines of Space’ and un-intimidated by the deep-rooted theories of renowned scientists, he delves into a new arena, giving an entirely new and different derivation to gravitation and theory of relativity. Based on his new formulation, he submits a paradigm modification in the structure of matter and puts forward the explanation, how universe got created from space itself. This notion is presented in a very interesting manner, with the help of various illustrations, to make it easy to understand by everyone.

10. Red, White & Blues -

    About Red, White & Blues:

    Review: “Sage presents a great wealth of strong, well-portrayed woman characters in this book. More than once a female character says that women are the stronger sex. Make no mistake about it, this unsung book is a giant accomplishment. L.V. Sage brings to life a huge multiracial cast of characters who are skillfully individualized. Also, the Zeitgeist of the time is fully captured. We get a huge, living tableau of realistic, flesh-and-blood characters whom this reader grew to know, love, root for, and feel terrible about when they were wounded, bled, and died. The author presents us with lives in America that are rarely seen in serious fiction, and these lives are portrayed in an evenhanded, non-judgmental, non-sensational manner. I highly recommend this book to readers in search of a book that extols and makes believable the healing force of being a member of an outlaw biker club.” -EXCERPT David Willson, Vietnam Veterans of America

    About:

    DID YOU SURVIVE THE 1960′s & 70′s WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS?

    Author Bio:
    Born and raised in Southern California during the 1960′s and 70′s, I always had a feeling that I was born just a little too late. I longed to be just a little bit older so I could hang out with the cool teenagers and twenty-somethings in my neighborhood. My imagination was strong, though, and it carried my along until I finally decided to write a story about those cool people. My novel, “Red, White & Blues” is a tribute to those turbulent and exciting times and the people who lived through them. And those that did not. While it is based on a very definite time in history, it is definitely not meant to be read like non-fiction. There are liberties that are taken when it comes to details, so just remember that this is a work of fiction. In any case, these are people that you will love and root for for the most part, but they are not perfect. Most are flawed-like all of us. A sequel is also in the works that picks up two years after where “Red, White & Blues” ends and follows the main characters as well as their coming-of-age children.

    Inside/Outside is a memoir: Jenny Hayworth grew up experiencing harrowing abuse not only from her paternal grandfather but a stranger and then an elder in the congregation (church) her family associated with. The church abuse went on for six years. Jenny told no one due to fear of God and feeling like she was a participant and not a victim even though she was only 11 years old when the abuse started and the perpetrator was in his 60′s.

    It was not until her eldest two children were abused by a member of the church and she confronted her own sexual abuse revealing this to two elders that she was shocked to discover that if there had not been two adult witnesses to her childhood abuse then she could not be believed and she was counselled to be quiet otherwise she could be disfellowshipped (excommunicated) for gossip and slander.

    She commenced a journey of healing for herself and her children that involved leaving the congregation she had grown up in, being shunned by all family and friends for doing so and having to remake her life and identity without her childhood faith or any support.

    It was a six year period of healing that is inspirational to read and although it led to her losing all she had ever known she gained more than she could have imagined.

13. The Cut-Out -

    About The Cut-Out:

    LOGLINE: When the American called me up and said he wanted to talk, I never imagined he would tell me what he did: that someone of global renown, “within days from now”, would be assassinated. Why tell me? A low-key conspiracy journalist? I didn’t know. And quite frankly, I didn’t believe him, either—until the assassination happened…

    SYNOPSIS: Britain in the nineties was obsessed with the X-Files. The high street was awash with X-Files type magazines, and as senior editor of the biggest selling one on the market, I was accustomed to receiving phone calls from anonymous sources promising inside information. So when the American called me up and said he wanted to talk, I took it in my stride. Why wouldn’t I? He was a former Special Forces Green Beret, he said. A CIA runner. He also said that the information he had was best not divulged over the telephone. So we arranged to meet. Nothing unusual in that.

    What was unusual, though, was what the American told me, not at our first meeting, but at a subsequent one some months later. On this occasion he said he’d been made aware of an imminent prime-target assassination, that “one of the most prominent figures on the world stage” was about to be taken out, “within days from now”, though he claimed he was unable to reveal who the target was.

    “Watch the news networks. You’ll know who it is soon enough.” He added: “The media will tell you it was an accident. You’ll know it wasn’t.”

    I came away not knowing if I’d been fed a line or let in on the world’s most terrible secret. And I had no way of finding out, either, other than to wait, and watch the news.

    I didn’t have to wait long. Because a week later the “accident” the American had alluded to was all over the news: the assassination he’d forewarned me about had happened.

    Of course, at this stage I had no idea I was being set up. Only that I’d been told something I wished I’d never been told. And that, because I had, I now faced the most terrifying challenge of my life—to get to the truth before the intelligence agencies got to me…

    ME: I’m a published author and optioned screenwriter with a background in music and journalism (although it should be said my foray into the world of commas and colons was solely the result of my failure in the world of quavers and crotchets!).

    THE EDITOR: For a good chunk of the 1990s and early 2000s I was editor of the popular high street magazines, UFO Reality and Odyssey, an enterprise which led to the publication of my first ‘proper’ book, Cosmic Top Secret: The Unseen Agenda (Hodder & Stoughton ISBN: 0-340-70822-0).

    THE AUTHOR: Some of you, though, might know me best for my two top-selling books on the death of Princess Diana (Princess Diana: The Hidden Evidence and Princess Diana: The Evidence), both of which were published by SPI Books New York and penned with my co-author, John Beveridge.

    THE CUT-OUT: My latest book, The Cut-Out, is an autobiographical spy thriller based on the conspiracy surrounding Diana’s death and the unwitting role I was earmarked to play in that conspiracy. A film based on The Cut-Out is currently in development.

    It should have been easy, Nicolas Keszthelyi knew. The nuns at the Carmelite convent of Notre-Dame-de-Pitié had no idea that their collection of religious bric-a-brac contained a lost masterpiece worth millions. Anyone could have walked away with it. Certainly an unscrupulous dealer like Keszthelyi – with a network of shady contacts and an amoral devotion to beauty – should have had no trouble at all…

    Should.

    Now two people are dead, the convent has been burnt to the ground, and the work of art has vanished. Nicolas Keszthelyi is fleeing from the forces of law and order, and the only way for him to escape the consequences of his actions is to tell the whole story, including the parts that the police would rather stayed hidden.

    Author Bio:
    I was always an avid reader. A couple of years ago I started fooling around with tablets and smartphones and my consumption of books started to skyrocket!

    For some reason, I gravitated to dystopian and post-apocalyptic writing. Strangely, I found reading about the end of the world interesting. I guess it all started with “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy-easily the toughest novel I had read up to that time. Somewhere between reading it and other books about the apocalypse, “Sometimes We Ran” was born.

    I currently reside in Woodstock in the great state of Georgia. I have been working for the last ten years as a CAD operator drawing permits and mapping utilities. When I’m not working, (or trying to write coherent sentences) you can find me taking care of my two aging Pontiac Firebirds.

    She became a trial watcher even before CourTv. She still follows trials.

    For her novel Poetic Justice, the Mystery/Legal Suspense genres seemed to be a perfect fit.

    Her love for animals has been a constant throughout her life. She currently lives in New England with her two cats. Inspired by a recent documentary, she has become a voice for orca in captivity.

    Note from the author: As I was writing Poetic Justice, my characters took on a life of their own. Their hearts led me to that touch of romance.

    I looked forward to visiting my characters each time I wrote. I hope you enjoy visiting with them, too.

    Different species. Mortal enemies. It’ll never work, but they’ll die trying.

    Autumn Rossi thought she was a normal teenager. Suddenly, she can outrun every critter in the forest, making her wonder if she’s even human.

    When the new guy at school, Zack de Luca, witnesses a questionable scene, he unfairly pins her as stuck-up. He acts like he hates her, yet he keeps bailing her out of trouble. Not only is Zack both insufferable and irresistible, he seems to sniff her anytime he gets close.

    As passion flares between them, Autumn isn’t sure which is more dangerous: her psycho ex-boyfriend, or falling for Zack – who’s risking his life just by being near her.

    Twenty-three-year-old Adem Adamend has it rough. His name is ludicrous. His friends are few. And the only thing his “kid genius” status has gotten him at the Interdistrict Bureau of Intelligence is a boatload of extra work with no credit in sight.

    Then hotshot lawyer Victor Manson is burned to death in his own back yard, and Adem finds himself using his unique skills to piece together the strangest crime he’s ever seen. Strange because the only possible suspect Adem can pin the murder on…is a mythical beast. A dragon.

    Before Adem can unravel the mystery of Manson’s death, the Bureau loses jurisdiction to the secretive EDPA, an organization that investigates weird and deadly events. But Adem isn’t one for giving up, so he takes it upon himself to delve deeper into EDPA’s machinations, into the series of unfortunate events that led to Manson’s demise.

    And what he finds may change the way he views the world — and himself — forever.

    Author Bio:
    Alinka Rutkowska is a “Reader’s Favorite” Five Star Picture Book Author. She writes the “Maya & Filippo” Book Series for Children – travel books for kids with a positive attitude. She takes inspiration from her own travels while cruising with her husband and daughter around the world. She is positive, appreciative and happy 95% of the time and during the miserable 5% she thinks to herself quickly: “things always work out for me” and they do.

    Alinka’s doesn’t really have a “to do” list but she does have a “fun things to do” list. It usually consists of writing, reading, reading her writing, writing in her diary, blogging, reading other blogs, commenting, breathing deeply, meditating, feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin, closing her eyes, breathing some more and thinking what a wonderful world she lives in.

    Sometimes she takes a few minutes to pause and instead of doing something from her “fun things to do” list she just daydreams a little. She thinks of all the great things that she wants for her to happen and imagines how wonderful it will feel to be interviewed about them in the future. She’s already preparing the answers to those interview questions in her mind. She especially loves the part, in which she says that she achieved all these things because she spent a considerable amount of time visualizing them first.

    Children’s bestsellers

    Alinka loves to ski while listening to music at the same time, she enjoys an occasional glass (or bottle) of Barolo with dark chocolate, she loves cuddling with her husband and daughter. Alinka really likes tea, especially that last sip which is usually the tastiest.
