Julia y Cuentos de invierno

Rubén Javier Nazario
Literary Critic, Professor Mario R. Cancel of the University of Puerto Rico writes:
“Rubén Javier Nazario is one of the most interesting narrative voices of this generation. The characters in Julia and
Winter Tales show a number of diseases that reflect the absurdity of the era in which they live. These are places of
mystery: the pitfalls of human sexuality, the misery hidden in an affluent world, the passions more crude or death where
everything ends. Violence and death, sexual initiation and voyeurism, the folly and failure of rationality, the transience of
everything and instinctive behavior that continues to guide the human animal in times of technological revolution. Every-
thing is expressed through these thoughtful narratives.”
“Julia/Cuentos de invierno” is a beautiful and provocative collection of narrative. The short story “Julia” imagines the
last days of one of Latin America’s greatest poets, Julia de Burgos. The stories in “Cuentos de invierno” include “Funes
y Funes”, a counterfactual encounter between baroque characters of two world-renowned Latin American writers,
Horacio Quiroga and Jorge Luis Borges. With powerful writing, the author explores themes of sexuality, exile, nostalgia,
and death, with haunting characters and unforgettable narrative. This book will be of great interest to anyone interested
in Spanish-language literature. It is a stunning, poignant and stimulating work of fiction.
Rubén Javier Nazario is an American professor of paediatrics who currently holds the current position as Assistant
Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Kentucky (Kentucky Children’s Hospital)

Divine Geometry
Geraldo Simas
“Divine Geometry is a stirring, well-paced novel and it’s hard for the reader not to get caught up in the
excitement as everyone takes two steps forward, one step backward in solving the puzzles surrounding the
manuscripts.” The Hidden Staircase Mystery Books Review
In South Italy an archaeological expedition sponsored by a computer science business man from India,
discovers a relic inside a container with an octahedron shape, containing five encrypted manuscripts. But
due to the expedition leader’s lack of attention, four of the group are robbed in a violent plot, the same night
of the discovery. As dark forces begin to merge, the discovery and the theft become front page news in the
world media. Such are the repercussions, the events trigger different global media companies to budget
resources to dig deeper into the sensational story.
The goal of deciphering the remaining manuscript, as well as to discover the whereabouts of the others that
had disappeared, become the challenge for several people, but primarily for a reporter from The New York
Times and a Le Monde colleague. The suspicion that it could be work of Pythagoras, the master of Samos
who was known to have lived in that particular region, awake all manner of interests in this taut and excit-
ing mystery. A disaster of catastrophic proportions, the origin of which is still a mystery for the scientific
community, could have a direct connection with this discovery.

Heart Land: A Place Called Ockley Green

Caroline Miller
“...Heart Land wears the triple crown of literary genius: it is profound, beautiful and arresting
from the first page...” -Writerface.com, the social network for writers & literary agents
Heart Land is a fictional memoir of a boy growing up in rural Ohio between 1930 and 1940, a
time of social and historic importance that still resonates in American political life today. With
a beautiful style that is arresting from the first page, Miller draws a humorous and sometimes
poignant tone.
At heart, the story is brilliantly driven by distant memories, evoked from photographs found in an
album when the family at the center of the book gathers for the mother’s funeral during the height
of the Vietnam War. Heart Land is destined to be a true classic of American literature.
Caroline Miller is a debut novelist who has been invited on U.S. National Television and Radio networks
to discuss the patriotic significance behind Heart Land, brought vividly to life.

A Story of the road to Santiago
Susie Tarver

Field Of Stars: A Story of the Road to Santiago

Susie Tarver
”A story of passion and dedication, deserved of a place in great travel writing” - WriterFace.com - The Social Network
for Writers & Literary Agents
Susie Tarver has an inquisitive and adventurous mind and a great sense of humour, which is how she came to find
herself living in an old cottage in an isolated part of France in the first place. One day she noticed an overgrown and
obviously ancient pathway alongside her garden.
After some research, Susie discovered that this track is part of the centuries old Pilgrims’ path to Santiago de Com-
postela in Spain, and has been walked by countless seekers and travellers since the Middle Ages. Eventually, curiosity
getting the better of her, she decided to make the journey herself. On her own, on foot and all the way to Santiago.
Join Susie on her own pilgrimage as she explores the wonders and pitfalls of Mediaeval French and Spanish towns, en-
joys good food and generous hospitality--but endures more often the privations of life as a pilgrim--sobs into her sodden
walking boots, fends off the amorous advances of a nonagenarian farmer, meets philosophers, jokers and mind-numbing
bores, walks in rain and in sunshine and finds through it all the spirituality and peace inherent in this ancient path, arriv-
ing six weeks later, weary but exhilarated in Santiago, to find that her life will never be the same again.
Evocatively illustrated throughout by David Dry RIBA.

Pop-In Jay Pomp

Karin Steyn
“A sublime and wonderful work, beautifully crafted with a rare accomplishment” David Jarvis, The
Book Connection
Pop-In Jay Pomp is a young and ambitious man who passes over the mountains through a little town named
Comport, on his way to the coast. His curiosity gets the better of him and he spends an entire week in the
quaint little town with its silly townspeople. During his stay he meets a puny little official, two sisters and
a newspaper editor. Pop-In Jay falls in love but realises at the end of the week that destiny is set for him to
leave the little town with the promise of return.
Information For Parents
The book contains 31 chapters (the maximum amount of days in a month). The story starts on a Monday
morning and ends on a Friday. Comport, the fictionalized town is very quiet on Monday and extremely busy
on Friday. Pop-In Jay finds this odd – in a ‘back to front’ adorable way. The book is written with a gentle
poetic rhythm. Alliteration and assonance is used to give the words and scenes a fascinating, loveable
character that most children will enjoy.

Gracing No Man’s Land

Annabel Penrose
‘A pioneering, a thrilling, and yes, a sisterly book, that is imbued with so much forbidden imagina-
tion and diverse individual expression, it will no doubt challenge freedom of speech, push staid
limits and boundaries, and bravely explore what may be for some at least, the intimidating pros-
pect of a female fantasy world.’ Dr Lauren Wilkinson, from her Foreword
‘Delicious…an illustrated pandora’s box…At last an intelligent sex counseling book exploring
sadomasochism and sexual fetishes through the erotic memoir of real sadists and submissives.’
Chicago Marriage Guidance
Recorded over 10 years through personal interviews, confidential writings, letters and audio tapes, it
is a delight to read Annabel Penrose’s educative and fascinating compilation of fantasies from the pro-
fessional and private global S&M scenes. This important book is an explorative masterpiece of sexual
politics and human identity, presenting an intellectual and sympathetic insight into the lawful realm of
Women’s (and Men’s) deepest, and most imaginative secret hiding places.

My Autistic Waterlily
T. Reid-Kapo
“These sentences are like hits of some delicious drug...a brave, fascinating and beautifully written memoirs
from a young author.” - Editorial Review
Based on a true story. A young medical student, the victim of physical and sexual abuse, haunted by the child-
hood memory of a family boating disaster in Rhodes, forms a close friendship with a cello teacher. By the
time the General Medical Council of England bring criminal assault charges against two doctors, such has
been the unhindered velocity of discriminatory and malicious abuse, the short term outcome is a permanent
divorce that embroils the refuge of a young American nurse, herself grieving in a prison of tears.
In this brave and compelling autobiographical account; innocence, love and vengeance confront the harrow-
ing reality of extreme violation and abuse, and on that journey, find the courage to triumph in the face of
profound injustice.
T. Reid-Kapo was the prize winner of the prestigious International League Against Epilepsy UK Chapter Coun-
cil Gowers Medical Student Award 2006. He presented his neurological dissertation for the Gowers Prize
Ceremony at the International League’s Annual Scientific Conference in Gateshead, Newcastle.

Into The Maelstrom

Gavin Murtagh
“....An extraordinary novel...a rich and compelling work of fiction...” -WriterFace.com, The social
network for writers and literary agents
Matthew had lived a long life in the Deep South with racism rife and the KKK ruling the Southern
States, like the civil war had never been fought at all. Matthew was poor and black but he had a rare
gift of communicating with the spirit world. When he foresees a disturbing plot involving the family of
two war heroes, Aleksei Rudikov and Samuel Johnson, enemies of the State, he unwittingly becomes
embroiled in a lethal mind field of unholy power that stretches across three continents, and takes in a
disturbing backdrop of dark players from the CIA and Vatican, to Russian agents, Mafia and the East
German Stasi.
In this taut and spine tingling chiller, the only way to safety is to go into the maelstrom, and risk every-
thing to face evil in a spectacular and deadly showdown.
