James Littlepage,
author of Of Fire, Wind
and Sprit.
 |
Of
Fire, Wind & Spirit is a collection of poems intended to
create special moments for the reader. The poems of fires and
firefighting are gripping and may cause a tear, his poems of
romantic love are fresh and unfeigned, and his poems of heritage are
humble and unpretentious such that even nonlovers of poetry can
understand the message and appreciate their significance. Jim’s
poems present an exaltation to God as well as a Christian message.
The section titled “Along the Path” tracks the author from a
ten-year-old boy to the present, forty years later, and essentially
presents a biography in verse capturing the emotional depths of
life’s paths.
From cover to cover, the poems in each of the seven sections will
allow the reader to experience a heightened emotional awareness,
cross the Rocky Mountains, understand the loss of a son, love from
the depths of the heart, feel the hot heat of fire, shout praises to
God, lounge in daydreams, and simply watch the pendulum swing.
Though life takes us down many roads, it is the author’s belief
that the choices we make determine our destination, and following
this belief, it is his expressed hope and desire that he meet each Of
Fire, Wind & Spirit reader someday in heaven.

Suzette Sexson,
author of The Stained
Glass Soul.
 |
"This
book is an unfinished portrait of my life in poetry and narrative.
It is an attempt at giving my soul form, providing a framework on
which to construct its abstract self. The various parts of my
personality provide this framework, each self sustained, but
dependent on the whole for completion and balance. Each part is like
a piece of stained glass that needs the other pieces to create a
unique and complete work of art.
"My soul has been, and continues
to be, masterful at utilizing these parts to negotiate the
challenging road of life. It is my hope that this book will
encourage others to look within to discover and utilize the colorful
personalities present in their own soul’s journey." (Suzette
Sexson, from the Introduction)

Albert Noyer,
author of The Secundus
papayrus.
 |
Gothic Empress, a doctor
and his trainee wife, an ambitious senator, a pious abbot…these
are the prime movers in this gripping mystery set in 5th century
Italy. When Getorius is invited to the palace and visits the newly
built Mausoleum, he discovers an ancient papyrus with explosive
contents that would have huge and devastating repercussions on the
Empire if it were made public. Could the papyrus possibly be
genuine? Who hid it in the Mausoleum and why? Are they planning to
reveal its contents? How is it connected to the symbol of a rooster
that keeps appearing? One by one, those who were with Getorius when
the papyrus was discovered begin to die under suspicious
circumstances. Getorius and his wife Arcadia must get to the bottom
of the mystery before the plot is unleashed, and before they become
its next victims!
With fascinating insights into 5th
century medicine, religion, society and culture, The Secundus
Papyrus is original, dramatic, and exciting; an evocative and
detailed historical mystery that brings the twilight years of the
Roman Empire to life.
With degrees in art, art education
and humanities Albert Noyer's career includes working in commercial
and fine art, teaching vocational art in the Detroit Public Schools
and art history at a private college. He lives in New Mexico, and
has previously published another historical mystery, The Saint's
Day Deaths. |
Parke Sellard,
author of The Boswell Gene
 |
We live in an age where the majority of Americans quest for the fountain of youth. The media inundates us with images of youth, products to make us appear younger, and cosmetic surgery. But how far can the quest really take us? In The Boswell Gene, Parke Sellard introduces readers to an enigma in the scientific world - Dr. Harry Boswell Young is aging, but he is aging backwards.
The Boswell Gene is an astute examination of the human experience through the eyes and world of Harry Young, who possesses the "Boswell" gene, which causes him to grow younger instead of older. Sellard leaves readers both entertained and challenged as they navigate throught the innocence of the past and the mystery of the future as Harry regresses in age over several decades.
The philosophical implications that arise from Harry's second chance at life are multi-faceted as he is allowed to experience love once again and even fatherhood. As he begins to experience the frustrations and dangers of becoming younger, his entire perspective on life begins to change.
Dr. Parke Sellard went to college in the South and was trained in Southern California and in Houston, Texas. He practices in a small town in New Mexico and is also the author of Three Score and Ten, among other titles.
Sellard is able to charm and stun the reader with Harry's story in such a way that will transform America's fascination with youth and all that comes with it.
