“Impatience with the long-suffering nature of all grief is not uniquely Catholic. The criticism is that survivors, and others who grieve, cling to an isolating distinction too long. Yet, like all people who suffer, we are, after taking all the right steps, still helpless to bestow healing on ourselves. We all need to be saved.”
T. Pitt Green

In this short work about fierce faith, Green has crafted an unflinching and charming memoir to showcase the true dimensions of a scourge within the Roman Catholic Church from which most people still recoil. Doing so, she lays a cornerstone for healing and reconciliation badly needed in order to free Catholics to thrive with single-minded spiritedness in the discipleship to which they have been called. Her work challenges prevailing assumptions about the motives and psychological life sentence imposed on survivors, reminding readers that healing and forgiveness really do exist – on none other than God’s terms. Her message is surprisingly inspiring for all Catholics, and in particular for Catholic priests.

James Harris spent the better part of his young adult life traveling the United States and Europe as a professional musician and songwriter. With songwriting, musical and production credits on more than fifteen records, James left the music industry to pursue a career in business, raise a family, independently study theology and put the pen to the paper. These days his thoughts don’t go into his songs, but to his manuscripts.

James resides on Long Island, New York with his wife and two children.

Sylvia Duncan has recently departed post-communist Czechoslovakia to come to Amsterdam, at the invitation of Nico DiCapelli. Instead, she runs into Salvadore San Martín and his motorcycle. Literally.

So begins a long and perilous chase across The Netherlands and Belgium, as they find themselves once again tangling with the deadly and unscrupulous Colombian drug lord, Eduardo Fuentes.

But this time, there is another player in this dangerous contest, Salvadore’s brother, Raúl San Martín. There is no mistaking whose side Raúl is on, as he has earned the sobriquet “la mano izquierda” – the Left Hand of Eduardo Fuentes.

How does Salvadore figure into all this? And will Nico be able to untangle the conundrum before Sylvia once again falls under the control of the drug lord? It’s a long way home, indeed. But some won’t make it home at all.

Bonnie Ridley Kraft was born and raised in the tiny hamlet of Buffalo, Wyoming in the United States. She left Wyoming at the age of eighteen, and has rarely looked back. She was imbued with her love of travel, cultures and languages by her two sons, Adam and Jesse, and this is reflected in her writing. She has traveled all over the world, sometimes for work, but always with pleasure. At the moment, she is living in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

This novel will take you back to a time, (the early 1700’s) when death and disease was a rising commonality, and though the growing chaos had somewhat dissipated, something remarkable had developed and surfaced for a time. Angela Fheathers was not aware of who she really was, until that great battle. She all along was an angel from heaven, intentionally woven into the lives of the other established human orphans. Angela’s unique abilities progress with time, along with the understanding of how to use and project her powers. The characters in this novel are primarily of a younger sort, and will confront and help Angela overcome those expected rising evils that continually seek to capture her. Though this book is fictional, this is a story told for spiritual up-lifting. I often wonder that if angels became known to us in a human form an allowed to offer their heavenly gifts to us, and its profound affects it would have on those selected, and their ability to project these gifts and the understanding of how to use them wisely.

Holly (H.A.W.) and those are my initials and though being named after a bush, has been somewhat of a thorn to me. This un-traditional biography will offer the important pieces of who I am. I joined the military right out of High School and ignored my inner hearts intuitions of what I needed to become. As my heart was telling to “one” join a religious college, and then become a Missionary. From there, I would be allowed to spend the rest of my days writing in the remote fields of some distant land. After fours years in the Navy, one path after the other cropped up, it wasn’t easy, and the disappointments of life appeared dismal. Much dissatisfaction of what I needed to do had already rooted deeply within my soul. I felt defeated and needed rest and pulled away from those often intentional pit stops. I went on to college in search of who I wanted to be, and studied law and found yet a pre-established path had broadened. It had a sense of familiarity, perhaps yet another purpose and from there, I wanted to start writing again. Good or bad, that’s what I wanted to do. I’d write poems, sing terribly and converse with people in passing, and would expound on life experiences, dreams and the realities of those hurts was easier to reflect on. I knew in my heart there was much more to life that needed to be discovered and finding joy in the mist of things, proved easier than I thought. I found that people are similar in many ways, and know that our tears have healing powers, because I’ve learn to ask God for help. I’m not overly religious, and what I mean by that is, I don’t believe in pounding people with religion. I immensely enjoy writing and prefer to write fiction, woven with verbal expressions, as I find the connections of the two can often impact the hearts tears along with the terms of love that can often unleash those inner conquering spirits. I am hopeful that my writings will offer something much greater, the opportunity to contribute something positive and perhaps life changing. Ultimately, in my own experiences, I believe- where there is faith, miracles will harvest.

In book one: The Angel Series (Title: Guardian of the Light): Evil sought after Angela Fheathers because of her angelic influence over her newly inherited family of orphans. Nevertheless, the evil chaos would continually seek to disrupt their lives, neither Angela nor her family would succumb to darkness an uphold victory. Evil lost in that war, and certain it would further initiate strategies against all that represents the right of good.

In book two: The Angel Series (Title: Unyielding Light): Sarah Willow’s suspected she had contracted an aging disease from the last war, but before her age took hold of her inner self, she would by divine direction be reunited with her family, as well as the many other children at Mrs. McFlarety-Randall’s wedding celebration. But those evil temperaments had remained steadfast for a time, anticipating a new strategy called, “The Shift,” which divided the earth temporarily with vile temperaments and mystical wonderments, causing the earth to become clouded an unpredictable for a time. It was evils predications that, “The Shift” would cause pandemonium and force a premature end.

Despite that Sarah had aged beyond her preteen appearance, she would not allow evil to distort her faith or attempt to define her heart. Evil had lost as a result of precedence, because the establishment of life and love had been set long ago. Although, it is said that our world will come to an end some day, it would not have been that day.

This untraditional biography will offer the individualities of who I am and what I’ve become. I have become a person who believes that kindness and a smile promotes joy. I’ve met the poorest of people, and yet they still smile, many are not at all dangerous, but charming and interesting. They just needed a friend for the moment, someone to be kind to them, perhaps buy them a cup of coffee or what have you (as you never know when you are entertaining angels). Rarely, did I get a thank you, but that didn’t matter, because it was my heart that thanked me, and that particular feeling was between me and God. I appreciate the sun, moon and stars and all the wonders that this world holds. I have also discovered in my growing maturities, that life is not just a profession, it’s a journey. I believe, if you take the time and help others, you in-turn, are helping yourselves. Lastly, my books are generally novellas comprised of supernatural elements and what I call spiritual elevations- may you enjoy them.

War was yet again nearing and evil declared to infect the human race, by inducing horrific strategies to paralyze our position before the gathering arrived. Not knowing our way of approach, evil did not fathom that we would unite as one, even through our religious diversities and stand together in this spiritual agenda. Our choice weapons were not of the physical arena, but devised from a spiritual standpoint- flooded with faith, hope, unity, and even the animals came to serve as nature’s representatives. Evil suspected that Sarah Willows-O’Malley held an ordained secret, which could finalize evils strongholds forevermore. Nevertheless, what was meant to harm Sarah in the first war would turn in our favor. Sarah nearly delivered that secret note, but found the strength from her core, and sang through the chaos until one of heavens’ prominent gates was activated, releasing warrior angels to aid in this fight. But before that had happened, many families fell to the ranks of evils persuasions at the gathering. But those who did not faint, held strong in their determinations to seize our survival, by allowing our spiritual weapons to hold untarnished in the sight of God. Again, evil had lost in what they thought to be their scattered victory and for reference sake; with God- all of our victories will be evident, when peace and unity is at hand.

I have authored three titles in The Angel Series; a masterful journey guided by hope, and the desire to fulfill a longtime dream. I was born in a village of Canada, in which my family later immigrated to the United States, to persevere in their quests to find our place, in this vast world. Even now, I gaze into my lively childhood, searching to find that moment when I found God, or did He find me first? No matter, I was found and hung-on to that memory, which lifted my soul to those often revealing tears, which still surface and comfort my heart. I have learned in my maturity walk that wealth is not always monetary and love holds opportunities and riches; use your spiritual and physical identities to build those accounts. Treasures can often be found in others, just look at the expressions of what your heart and tears yearn to seek, and reveal the hidden greatness that waits to be unleashed. I believe each step you take with God is filled with promise and maturity, defeat can not hold while the light of your souls, dwell in God’s shadow. Lastly, I write generally novellas and in the framework of my writings, I am hopeful they will inspire you to not faint and to find joy with determined hearts- despite.

My Roots, My Destiny, based on a profound historical investigation and the personal recollections of the author Gabriel Groszman, describes the fate of his family in the context of the history of the Central European Jews during two centuries. The narration takes us from the Jewish Enlightenment and Emancipation through the World Wars and their shattering consequences, culminating in the loss of millions of European Jews in the Holocaust. The family history, narrated through several generations, reflects the shared destiny of Austro-Hungarian and German Jewry and their achievements in spite of discrimination and open persecution leading to exile, survival or death. The story, which unfolds without resentment, takes us with irony and humor from the age of the Hapsburg Empire through the author’s own coming of age in an increasingly anti-Semitic Hungary, the Nazi terror, a brief period of democracy, communist dictatorship and, finally, life in Austria under the occupation of the victorious allies.

Following a brief description of life in a small Jewish community in his native village, the author confronts us with the predicament of defining Jewish identity in the face of anti-Semitism. The bitter experience of “not belonging” and the barriers to patriotic participation left an indelible mark on his personality. Most of his fellow Jewish citizens carried on this burden stoically, while others tried to assimilate, “hungarianizing” their Jewish sounding names and even converting.

The captivating narrative is delivered from a teenager’s perspective of his family history, his friendships, and his emergence into manhood during a period of disruptive change. As a consequence of the anti-Jewish laws, when Gabriel Groszman was barely 10 years old, the family was forced to move from a relatively benign small village environment to the capital, Budapest. A short time later, his country, allied with Nazi Germany, was at war with the Soviet Union.

At the end of 1943, most of the European Jewish communities had been destroyed by the Nazis, but even as anti-Semitic laws took hold in their country, Hungary’s Jews remained oblivious to the surrounding tragedy. Everything changed when the German forces occupied the country on March 19, 1944. The author quotes Elie Wiesel: “Cursed be that day…From that day on, the shadows, din, and flames of enemy destiny would rule the rhythm of our existence.” Six hundred thousand out of a million Jews were murdered in the few months which followed.

Gabriel Groszman survived thanks to Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg’s safe-houses, followed by life underground. The author’s vivid description of liberation by the Soviet Army, the time he spent under communist rule, and his fortuitous emigration takes the reader through the panorama of sweeping political changes shaking Central Europe at the time.
