About In Society’s Web By Edwin Cruz

This is a narrative of an exceptionally inspiring, thought provoking, and true account of one man’s life altering journey into the abyss of captivity in the Illinois penal system. As he encounters the harsh reality of incarceration and the constant confrontations with both guard and inmate, he comes to his realization that the environment of prison and the ghetto are not dissimilar at all. As he is shuffled from one institution to another because his pride refuses to succumb to the status-quo, he surmises both are the same. Through memories of a dismal and brutal upbringing, he exposes the similarities between life behind bars and life in poverty, and this equation becomes the basis for his reasoning that there is an invisible web, society’s web, and escape was impossible because he never knew of its existence. Using this awakening and his sense of logic as instruments, he tries to come to terms with his current predicament, but the mandated choice of submission or defiance intervene and push him further into the vortex until he finds himself in Stateville Penitentiary, at the time, the worst maximum security penitentiary in America.

Author Bio:
Edwin Cruz was born the seventh child of thirteen on the far south side of the city of Chicago in Illinois. His parents migrated from Puerto Rico to Chicago in search of a brighter tomorrow, and Edwin’s education was earned in the Chicago public school system. He learned of his interest in writing soon after his release from prison. It was during this time that he journeyed into the field of higher education to not only learn the mechanics of writing, but also to practice the art and gain valuable critique from those considered experts in the field. Here is where he met his mentor Dr. Phil Brown, who not only helped him fine-tune his writing skill, but also urged him to continue his studies at the graduate level. After graduate school, he began his career as an instructor of English in higher education and passionately practiced his second love: teaching. He relocated to Hammond, Indiana but that stay did not last long. Edwin moved back to the city of Chicago where he continues to teach today and share his philosophy with students to always pursue an ambition because according to him, a person without a goal is no longer living: only existing.

About 25 Stories Of The Season: A Collection Of Short Stories by Michelle Vongkaysone

(This is the book’s description, as seen on its Amazon product page)

This book began as another self-imposed challenge I took up for the holiday season: I wrote 25 short stories that have 100 words each. They are themed around various concepts and things present during the winter season.

The results were collected into this book, where they can be read all together. Within this work are twenty-five short tales, which focus on the foods, festivities, weather and quirks of the winter holiday season.

About Storm Warning By Brett Diffley

In this book, the Rickter Plague has descended onto the world, wiping out populations across the globe. Civilizations are no more. Some people are naturally immune. Most are not. A serum is on every survivors mind. But without laws or the ability to enforce them, the lawless have also descended onto the world. Some have even planned for it. Before unleashing the plague, Stan Rickter had purchased several properties—outposts—all across the United States. These staging areas, like the abandoned Roosevelt Island Smallpox Hospital in New York State and the Seaside Sanatorium on the Connecticut coast, would be the starting points for a new world controlled by his extremists. Guided by a manifesto, and with the dollar value all but decimated, these rebels have established trade markets. Nothing is off limits. As their growth grows, they continue to acquire more resources and properties. One, though, they don’t have, but very much want. The grow fields—once controlled by the New York Syndicate for decades and hidden in the rugged Debar Mountain range—has produced billions in revenue in growing illegal drugs over that span. It would also be a key piece of revenue in the future, given the state of the world and its lack of replenishable medicines. Maria Kaylor knows this too. The sixteen year old is in charge of the grow fields, her knowledge of growing the illicit drugs unmatched, and her clever mind, unprecedented. To acquire the coveted property, Mel Belegore, one of Rickter’s extremist’s, will do anything, including kill, to get what he wants. A battle ensues: Maria and her ragtag group against a powerful juggernaut with extensive resources, including men, guns, ammunition, and even helicopters. This will bring Tom Spears, her father, an assassin known as the Shadow, out of retirement to find her. He has one goal and cares little about who gets in his way.

About Everything But the Truth

In 1900, women couldn’t vote, drink in public, or speak their minds outside of their homes. Most women anyway, but one thing for sure, Margaret Rose Nolan, wasn’t most women. Born into north Appalachian’s piedmont, she knew what she wanted, and it wasn’t to live in the backwoods of Alabama surrounded by poverty and ignorance. She didn’t care what women were supposed to do or what others thought of her; she followed a single-minded purpose — create opportunities for the things she desired. If getting what she wanted required manipulating men, then that was too bad for them. It wasn’t her fault men liked her, but she used it and used it well. In those days, women called her a Jezebel. She called them ignorant. She moved from moonshine to champagne, from rowboats to cruise ships, from foolish foothill suitors to society’s elite, usually at the expense of others, even her own children.

Author Bio:
Joshua David is a retired law enforcement officer with an undergrad in economics and graduate work in American colonial religion. When he should have been working toward academic publishing and serious professorships, he was instead tinkering with apologetics, particularly working to combine classical idealism with Christian theology.

Seed was born of these efforts, a release valve for the monotony of composing a proper philosophical treatise. Why spend all productive time on what is essentially a 300-page algebra equation when a character like Jess is already out in the wastes working miracles and could so much more easily espouse a truth many accept but few can reconcile?

Joshua David lives in Prescott, AZ with his wife and two young sons. If there is a sliver of time not occupied by family, friends, and fictional characters, he can be found on a gun range, a jiu-jitsu mat, or under a bench press loaded with just slightly more weight than his elbows appreciate.

About The King’s Daughter

Wales 1294 . . . a hated English king, a country in violent rebellion against him, and a teenager from Virginia Beach badly out of her depth.

Megan Lynch is Welsh history loving fish out of water. Having fallen in with some bad company following the death of her Navy SEAL father, she is packed off to a new school in a new country.

“Go stay with your grandmother in Wales, it’ll keep you out of trouble,” her mother had declared.

In her mom’s defense, she could never have predicted the events that unfolded in the ruins of Flint Castle that afternoon. She certainly wouldn’t have known about the strange Welshman or the pendant he gave Megan. Even then, if it hadn’t been for the encounter with a local bully, Megan might still be wandering around the ruins of a thirteenth century castle, instead of a fully functioning medieval one.

Her striking similarity to the king’s daughter is initially her saving grace, but the inability to speak Norman French arouses suspicions, and she knows her luck cannot last.
Thankfully, help is at hand in the shape of handsome young knight’s squire named Hugh, who has a secret of his own.

Their friendship grows as they attempt to survive the journey through an oppressed medieval Wales in the throes of a rebellion. It is a world of chainmail, crossbows, lynch mobs and burning towns. There are compensations though; unpolluted air, stunning scenery, imposing stone castles in their full splendor, and Hugh . . .

Megan will need to rely on her wits, along with some self-defense skills, courtesy of her dad. But with a dollop of luck and a little help from allies encountered along the way, perhaps she can make it back to her everyday world of Snapchat, Instagram, and Same-Day Delivery; then again, will she want to?

About Northern Awakening: The Evolution of Consciousness by Brian C. Watts

There has been a secret and sacred knowledge that has been hidden from mankind for centuries. Advanced ancient cultures based their civilizations around a technology for expanding consciousness and connecting with the universal energy field that underlies everything. The technology has been hidden within plain sight within every major religion on earth. The author recounts an extraordinary encounter with what has been described as the evolutionary energy of man (kundalini) that leads to expanded consciousness, spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic abilities and eventually to enlightened states. It has been foretold by ancient texts that this energy will become widespread in the modern age as the world undergoes a mass awakening. The author undertakes the monumental task of piecing together the history and science of this energy in the hopes of providing some guidance to those undergoing the same awakening experience that often begins simply with a strong desire to know the truth.

Author Bio:
I came to America in 1954. My mother and I left a small town near Heidelberg, Germany, and traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas; she a war bride with her handsome Lieutenant, and I, a little girl with my new father.

      In Germany, I played in castle ruins with my cousins and swam with tiny fish and lily pads in the Neckar River, which flowed past my grandparents’ home. In Arkansas, those memories were replaced with playing in dusty ditches, visiting snake farms, catching fireflies in the moonlight amidst the smell of jasmine, and watching my new father grow watermelons so big they required shelves for support.

      My biological father flew with the Luftwaffe in WWII, and later, as I grew up in this great country, I came to understand that he had been the enemy America fought against. Until I reached my late twenties, I seldom spoke about my German heritage.

      War affects us throughout generations, I realized. It’s the closest thing to hell on earth that I can imagine. Living through the Vietnam War gave personal attestation to that.

      There must be better ways to process when conflict arises. Destruction can never be the answer; the toll is too great. Let us find a path toward the light, toward peaceful coexistence.

      My work with substance abuse/addiction affirmed every life has value; my work with the incarcerated and the judicial system verified that injustice for one is injustice for all; and my work with children confirmed resilience, trust, and hope are the cornerstones of every human relationship.

      I live in Florida with a wonderful man, have three children I am proud to call my own, and four happy grandchildren.
