One Man’s Very Strange Supernatural Life : Ryan Callahan
One Man’s Very Strange Supernatural Life
Do you like a good ghost story? Have you ever wondered if there is more to this world than what we can see? Have you ever felt the spiritual realm, but convinced yourself it wasn’t real? What if you could meet someone who has had such a strange life that it could help you know the truth about life and death, and set you free? The real question is, would you want to know such information?
Take a trip with me down a very strange road to truth, and you will see where it ends, and new life begins! You will find answers to questions like:
Is there really a spiritual realm?
Does God exist?
and, what everyone wants to know,
How can I go to Heaven?
This world is not what it seems, and this is not your typical ghost story. I invite you to embark on a journey through my very strange supernatural memories. My hope is that your spirit will be encouraged and refreshed as you are set free from the fear of death. When a man’s memories become too much to bear on his own, he must reach out and share it with others. What you will find in this memoir is one man’s heart open and raw before the world. Let them judge me. Let them call me crazy. I know the truth…and the whole world needs to know it!

Cleopatra : Tom Andersson
Cleopatra!
Is Cleopatra a feminist?
Some powerful people in Rome are quite concerned about what they see as a new Egyptian threat. And what is that loose cannon by the name of Mark Antony up to? And then there are also Octavius and Lepidus, Antony’s brothers in empire, but both with plans of their own. Must Rome’s first women Octavia and Fulvia follow the dictates of any of those men? Must Cleopatra?
Men and women. Ancient Egypt. Rome. Love. Power. The meaning of life. This historical novel goes beyond the confines of its genre to explore the many frustrations and passions that govern the human condition.
Eminent Romans hold forth on why willful Egypt must become part of the Mediterranean community, while engaging in power struggles at home; Egyptian feminists (are they?) critique the chauvinism that is Roman politics; French romantics and early Egyptologists belatedly but passionately sing the praises of the world’s greatest culture; Roman infantry is put to the test in far-off theaters as Cleopatra’s court indulges in pleasure after pleasure; and learned, erudite Greece finds itself in the middle of this epic mess.

The Golden Unseen : L.W. Fells
Nothmen–who know no loyalty beyond that of kin–are about to invade the imperial City of Caldesia, the home of the Alminster family.
Thrift, the younger of two sons, sails for an academy he has always planned to attend. An intriguing girl and a sinister mercenary accompany him on the voyage. Soon, the cruel and arbitrary way of the sea takes a psychic toll. And when Thrift winds up stranded in a lawless city, he must decide whether to relinquish his dream of attending the academy.
Thrift’s twin sister, Josefina, sets out to cross an enchanted forest. A determined and inquisitive girl, she struggles as a chasm opens between her and her mother and as she is confronted with a new side of a childhood adversary. Navigating the onset of adulthood, she encounters a bewitching sylvan people who harbor a grievance toward civilization.
The older brother of the twins, Michel, vows to stay in Caldesia to fight the Northmen. A conservative knight who favors restoration, Michel is vexed by differences he has with his childhood friend Joe, a mariner and fledgling revolutionary, who sees the imperial order as unjust.
The center may not hold, it seems, as localism asserts itself along the periphery of the Empire and the old aristocratic order trembles.
Wrenched away from one another and from the world that they knew, the siblings come of age as an ancient enmity is rekindled.

Don’t Forget to Pack the Humour, Honey : Philippa W. Joyner
Don’t Forget to Pack the Humour, Honey
All we need are coffee beans, hair straighteners and a sense of humour on the 07:21 from Greater Bungchip to the smog of London Victoria. Don’t we? Okay, add a bottle of Prosecco or three.
Has the world gone mad, or is flighty, intelligent, mildly pragmatic, eloquent, yet totally quirky Honey Hollings in her late thirties, okay, early forties, experiencing life capturing its more cynical side?
Don’t Forget to Pack the Humour, Honey judges the ludicrous, the absurd, even the incongruous side of humanity as Honey travels loosely around upon the Great British Trains, and further afield.
How can Honey have possibly let scenario after scenario pass her by, all of her adult years, without at least noting it? Probably, she might add, because she simply did not have the time. But now, she has. Maybe she’s the only one laughing, but she thought she would give herself the chance to become a novelist. Why not? At least a novice novelist for starters.
Similar titles undoubtedly include Bill Bryson and his “Walk in the Woods” with Stephen Katz; Victoria Wood; Mo Willems and Peter Jenkins with a certain “Bridget Jones” appeal.
