The Rockin’ Chair
Steven Manchester
Genre: Family Life
FREE for a limited time
Memories are the ultimate contradiction. They can warm us on our coldest days – or they can freeze a loved one out of our lives forever. The McCarthy family has a trove of warm memories. Of innocent first kisses. Of sumptuous family meals. Of wondrous lessons learned at the foot of a rocking chair. But they also have had their share of icy ones. Of words that can never be unsaid. Of choices that can never be unmade. Of actions that can never be undone.
Following the death of his beloved wife, John McCarthy – Grandpa John – calls his family back home. It is time for them to face the memories they have made, both warm and cold. Only then can they move beyond them and into the future.
A rich portrait of a family at a crossroad, THE ROCKIN’ CHAIR is Steven Manchester’s most heartfelt and emotionally engaging novel to date. If family matters to you, it is a story you must read.

Journal
Craig Buckhout
Genre: Action & Adventure | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
The year is 2054. Global Warming, disease, famine, and war have decimated the human population. Alan Trent, a particularly ambitionless man, who avoids trouble “just like I avoid poison oak and all other things uncomfortable,” finds a set of journals while scavenging through a house for food in what used to be Washington State. The journal’s author was a woman named Claire Huston. Her words inspire Alan to continue writing in her journals in the hope that by doing so “her humanity will somehow stay alive ….” She also causes him to do something wholly uncharacteristic — rescue a boy from a group of men. He rescues the boy all right, but it’s much more complicated than that. What follows is a deadly game of hide-and-seek, hardship, and survival, where, at every turn, Alan is forced to confront his own humanity.

I Am Lubo
Lou Pechi

FREE for a limited time
I Am Lubo, is a true story of growing up, before, during, and after the Holocaust. It tells about a child’s struggle, not only to survive, but also to keep his true identity throughout those difficult years.This is an inspirational story that needs to be told.
The story narrated through the eyes of Lubo, a young boy, who fascinated by the all the happenings is unaware of the dangers that surround him. Despite all the fear, humiliation, difficulties of constant movement, changes of identity, separation from his parents, Lubo remains upbeat and positive.
The German bombing of Belgrade, and the brutal prosecution of the Jews in Croatia that followed, shatter Lubo’s pre-war idyllic life in Zagreb, Croatia. To save their lives Lubo’s parents flee to Italy. Not knowing what awaits them, they leave seven year old Lubo with his aunt, married to his Catholic uncle. Two years later, at the age of eight someone informs the Nazis and he is arrested and ready to be sent to the concentration camp in Germany. Through intervention of friends and relatives he is released six hours before the scheduled convoy departure and smuggled to his parents in Italy. The family relative safety in Treviso, Italy is broken by the German invasion that forces them to flee again to Rome, where the Allies eventually liberate them.After the liberation, Lubo returns to Communist Yugoslavia, emigrates to Israel, and finally arrives to the United States.
As the number of Holocaust survivors shrinks daily their memories will be lost. This is one of the many stories about the Holocaust that has an urgency to be told. It differs from others, since it shows the triumph of a child’s spiritual and physical survival and the goodness of many people who risk their lives to save his.

Cry of the Peacock
V.R. Christensen
Genre: Historical Fiction | Romance
FREE for a limited time
An illustrious marriage, a fortune, a position of wealth and influence. These are the dreams and ambitions of any Victorian woman of sense. Or are they?
Perhaps not for Arabella Gray.
The death of Abbie’s father, the overseer of a large country estate, leaves her without means or resources, without, even, a place to live. Her landlords, in an extraordinary display of charity, invite her to live at Holdaway Hall. But the invitation is as puzzling as it is generous. Why are the Crawfords, who have never paid her any notice before, so concerned with her well being now?
It’s a question the younger Crawford brothers would like to have answered as well. Certainly Miss Gray is a mercenary upstart. Certainly their brother is mad for fancying himself in love with her. Such a union would make them a laughing stock. They mean to put a stop to it, but when they learn that her past is closely—even disturbingly—connected with their own, they are brought up short, forced to ask themselves some very hard questions.
As Abbie herself soon learns, there is a great mystery at the heart of her landlords’ extraordinary offer. Everything she has ever dreamt of might be hers for the taking, but is the price worth it? More than her happiness alone rests upon her decision. If she refuses Ruskin Crawford’s offer of marriage, will she be able to live with the consequences? If she does, will she be able to live with herself?
In the end, all must ask themselves some very hard questions. What does it mean to be a man or woman of honor and integrity? What does it mean, after all, to be a gentleman? And what, exactly, is the price of a woman’s heart?
