At the Feet of Angels

At the Feet of Angels
By Vernon Bargainer

Published: 3/14/2012
Format: E-Book (available as ePub and Mobi files)
Pages: 272
ISBN: 978-1-47590-208-2
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

This is the tale of Jenny Burnett, a young child, kidnapped by her uncle and sold on the black market to a childless couple. It is the compelling drama of Jenny's endless pining for her real mother, of her instinctive, yet daring, attempts to escape, of growing abuse at the hands of her adoptive mother, and of the hapless effort of a sympathetic but inept adoptive father. It is a story of the child's quest for salvation in her play, in the enduring friendship she strikes with a little neighbor boy she never gets to see, and in daydreams of angels and fairies she wills into the sky above her prison playground.

The story takes place inside the heart and mind of the little prisoner and reveals her every impulse: her dreams, her hopes, her fears, her anger, her confusion, her prayers and her attempts to reason. It is a tale of struggle and play, of compelling innocence, of times of soaring joy, of special friendship, and of poignant memories and determined effort.

Dragon Chaser

Dragon Chaser
A Memoir
By Mark Lloyd

Published: 6/28/2013
Format: E-Book (available as ePub, Mobi, and PDF files)
Pages: 304
ISBN: 978-1-47599-456-8
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

When nineteen-year-old Mark Lloyd entered the US Army in Seattle, Washington, in 1968, he thought he was invulnerable. His induction that year marked the beginning of a long career in public service. In Dragon Chaser, he recounts his journey—entering the army, earning a green beret, serving in Vietnam, working as a police officer on the streets of south central Los Angeles, and joining the DEA.

In this memoir, Lloyd tells how he became an undercover narcotics agent and served in the world’s illegal drug hot spots—chasing the dragon of illicit heroin in Los Angeles, Guam, and Thailand. Dragon Chaser narrates how he led teams of DEA agents raiding jungle cocaine laboratories and ambushing clandestine airstrips in Peru, how he helped solve DEA’s worst case of corruption in Los Angeles, and how he managed some of DEA’s foreign operations while assigned to DEA headquarters. The stories include Lloyd’s deployment on a special mission to war-scarred Bosnia, and how he successfully handled a difficult narcotics case involving a DEA employee falsely imprisoned by the recalcitrant Pakistani government.

Masters of the Sea
The Adventures of Jules Verne’s Mathias Sandorf
By George J. Rios

Published: 7/1/2010
Format: E-Book (available as ePub and Mobi files)
Pages: 252
ISBN: 978-1-45021-734-7
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

Jules Verne, the “Father of Modern Science Fiction,” is indeed immortal and eternally young across three centuries. In Masters of the Sea: The Adventures of Jules Verne’s Mathias Sandorf, we pay tribute to Verne, who inspired pioneers throughout the world for generations. Here, we take Verne’s ultimate prediction of communication with our friends of the watery deep to its outer limits. In fact, communication with these friends was heralded throughout the world when, in 2003, America used dolphins to clear mines designed to hamper the invasion from the port of Unn Qasr in southern Iraq.

For the first time, a pioneering research Preface underscores why and how Verne proclaimed Mathias Sandorf his greatest epic science fiction masterpiece. His dedication of the original work claims “…I tried to make of Mathias Sandorf my Monte Cristo of extraordinary science fiction adventures.”

Verne drew his Austrian heroic character, Dr. Mathias Sandorf, from the reality of the battleground of Germany’s conquests of Austria and France during the 30-year period prior to World War I.

Jasmine

Jasmine
A Novel
By Winston Aarons

Published: 11/14/2011
Format: E-Book (available as PDF, ePub, and Mobi files)
Pages: 180
ISBN: 978-1-46206-143-3
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

“Trace the curved line between love and obsession in this steamy novel…

Aarons artfully portrays the demise of his lead character’s control in the stable world he once inhabited. Vivid characters enliven a compelling story that reveals Sor’s innermost thoughts and personal letters. The style and pacing of the narrative realistically parallel the timeline of Sor’s affair, while rising to meet his transformation from a controlled, settled husband into an adulterous obsessive.

A well-crafted tale of passion, loss and the dangers of obsession.”

—Kirkus Reviews

I Dreamed I Was Human

I Dreamed I Was Human
Awakening from the Illusion
By Carolyn Gervais

Published: 2/20/2013
Format: Dust Jacket Hardcover
Pages: 238
Size: 6x9
ISBN: 978-1-47597-314-3
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

From the time she was a little girl, author Carolyn Gervais has been haunted with questions about why she was here on Earth and why God created humans. Now after more than thirty-five years of study and research in metaphysical spirituality, Carolyn has discovered her own view of spirituality and its connection to the dream of life. In I Dreamed I Was Human, she tackles thought-provoking concepts that take us on an inner journey, stretching our minds beyond the limitations of belief and perception.

Through yoga, meditation, contemplation, study, and life experiences, she has synthesized, integrated, and expanded all her personal views of how life evolves within us and through us as spiritual beings. That culmination of experience and learning developed into her personal philosophy and understanding of how human life connects with soul and spirit—defining what is real and what isn’t. In this guide she shares that philosophy, exploring such topics as how the ego commits murder, whether or not we are influenced by parallel dimensions, whether our perceptions of God hold us hostage, and so much more.

The cumulative effect of her lifelong search for truth led her to unraveling complex metaphysical concepts and enabled her to describe them in a way that can benefit serious seekers. You can start your own spiritual journey to truth today with I Dreamed I Was Human.
