Historical Literary Fiction Author Writes Axe of Iron Series by J. A. Hunsinger

Just Released: Confrontation – Second Book In The Axe of Iron Series

In Confrontation, two calamitous events occur that pave the way for the hostile beginnings of an assimilation process between the Greenland Norse settlers and the natives of Vinland. The first mixing of cultures occurs when a woman of the Northmen, Thora, and Deskaheh the Haudenosaunee, marry. This union, accepted enthusiastically by the Northmen, opens a window into the native mind.

For all the people of this land the way is rocky and fraught with danger at every turn, but the acceptance and friendship that develops between the Northmen and the Naskapi, another native tribe, over an affair of honor, the eventual acceptance of a young boy of the Northmen by his Haudenosaunee captors, and a scenario that seems ordained by the will of the gods, makes it all begin to fall into place, as it must for the Northmen to survive.

Douglas Chandler Graham grew up in rural Virginia close to Lakeside Amusement Park. He worked summers at this park from the age of twelve until he was eighteen when he joined the U.S. Army Air Force. Honorably discharged from the military, he became a street cop in Roanoke, Virginia. Over the years, he has been a bill collector, salesman, and postman. After retiring from the Postal Service, he became a certified private investigator and bodyguard. He has lived in Florida since 2000.

His first book ‘Smoke and Murders’ is a fictionalized story of the murder of the Hodges family as discovered in the small town of Vinton, Virginia, on August 29, 1994. Most of the characters are composites of people known to the author and, except for the murders; most of the situations are made up. Fascinated by the sequence of events as they unfolded, the author could not get the crime off his mind, and over the years, Smoke and Murders evolved. Urged by family and friends to finish the story, the author hopes that it will spark some interest in the real story of a man he believes was falsely convicted.

Books In Sync Recognizes For A Second Year Author Marcia P. Cole

Featuring: Caught Between Life & Death by Marcia P. Cole

What are you leaving behind for others to remember you by?

A life insurance policy?

A family heirloom?

In Caught Between Life & Death, Marcia Cole, believing herself on deaths edge, writes her will. Her son, Danny, has just returned from the hostile Iraqi desert and announces his newfound career choice. Concerned for her son’s obsession to be part of Hollywood’s rich and famous, the author looks deep within her own frailties to leave behind something more valuable than just a life insurance policy. Inspired by her son, the author cleverly finds a unique way of leaving behind a part of herself through a tale of wealth, poverty, and faith.

Caught Between Life and Death exposes valuable lessons that shed new light on old perceptions giving us new hope for old problems.

Caught Between Life & Death Book Excerpt:

It appeared as if I was caught between life and death when the paramedic placed the nitroglycerin pills under my tongue.

Nitroglycerin? I thought to myself, surely I’m not having a heart attack. Everything was a blur. I felt like Darth Vader behind this oxygen mask as I could scarcely breathe with this crushing chest pain. Despite all the commotion going on inside this body of mine, I was more amazed by the hub of the fire and rescue squads that caused more attention in the neighborhood than I would have liked. I could feel the eyes of curious onlookers peering at me wanting to know the obvious question, “What happened to her?” Read the rest of this entry »

Who holds the truth: Science or the Bible?

Beyond Genesis: The Untold Story of Man’s Origins by Allen Epling

With all the public fascination lately with ´Bible Codes´, the author has uncovered ´hidden´ messages in the book of genesis that could not have been understood until the present age of understanding. With a refreshingly new interpretation, based on present day knowledge, Allen Epling presents new evidence that the events in Genesis are real and that there is a genetic link to the patriarchs of the Old Testament.

Beyond Genesis offers an alternative explanation for the origin of man that is unique and different from either side in the familiar Creationism versus Evolution debate. The author believes the truth revealed in this book was not meant to be understood completely until the present age of information and reason. He reveals new insights which uncover a storyline in Genesis that has previously gone unnoticed. He offers timely new explanations for all the “myths” of Genesis. All hypotheses are based on sound, recent science and the field of genetics, and are supported through references to the original sources. The central theme of the entire book is that the book of Genesis is accurate historically, and that modern man is a product of BOTH the evolutionary processes, AND a unique, separate line of man, the one referred to in Genesis. The book also reveals the ultimate “plan” for man and that it is not finished.

Quote From Author Carl David:

“My first foray into writing was in college in the school newspaper when I had a grudge about the disgusting food quality.  The article was pretty funny but scathing so they wouldn’t let me sign it.

My next work was an article in the American Art Review in May 1978, about Martha Walter, an American impressionist artist, whose estate we represented.

In 1981 I authored, “Collecting & Care of Fine Art” published by Crown in New York. It revealed the truths about the art market and separated them from the hype which was so widespread. It was a factual expose for which I received significant flack from many colleagues, but someone had to tell the truth and protect the collectors.

My latest book, “Bader Field” has just been released by Nightengale Press. It is a heart tugging memoir about my father, Samuel David, the legendary art dealer whose life was taken way too early, and how my brother and I had to step into the front lines of the third generation family business to live out his dream, all the while trying to survive emotionally after the devastating loss of our brother only eight years earlier.  The book is a journey of love, forgiveness and acceptance which begins at Bader Field (in Atlantic City), the oldest airfield in the country, the last place I saw my father.
