#Selfies : H. G. Robert
#Selfies
Selfies are a lot sadder when you think of them as your alonies…
Social media sites are making us narcissistic, hence we possess a personality disorder that involves a preoccupation with ourselves and how we are perceived by others.
We pursue gratification from vanity and from the admiration of our own physical and intellectual attributes.
The truth is that we will never see a photograph of ourselves that looks like the self we imagine ourselves to be. So just go ahead, take a selfie and fake a life.
H. G. Robert’s book, #Selfies, explores “the selfie(ish) syndrome” via 33 colored ink selfies, each captioned with a 5-7-5 humorous senryū poem. Foreword by art critic, Cinqué Hicks.

FIFTY : Eldon H. Kellogg
Their only contact will be through an ancient Chinese coin, but their conflict will decide the fate of millions.
A rogue general within China’s People’s Liberation Army has a 25-year plan to smuggle nuclear weapons into the United States. Lieutenant General Kung Yusheng has been the Commander of 22 Base, the secret underground repository of China’s nuclear arsenal, for over 30 years. He is a collector of artifacts owned by famous military leaders, loves American art, and would like nothing better than to bring the United States to its knees.
Amanda Langford has been recently hired by the CIA at the Mission Center for Weapons and Counterproliferation. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering, and speaks Mandarin, Korean and Japanese. She discovers that China has produced more highly enriched uranium than had been previously estimated, enough material to produce 20-60 nuclear weapons.
When a nuclear weapon is discovered in San Francisco, it leads to a wild search in the United States for more of the devastating devices, even as a 10-megaton thermonuclear weapon is delivered, and hidden, less than seven miles from the White House.

Whispers on the Wind : Christina McDonald
Whispers on the Wind: A collection of Zen Poetry
This is a first collection of poetry that reflects on the complexities and mystery of human existence.
If you feel like reflecting and taking some time to relax and read something different, then this is the collection for you.
The questions that continually work to define and answer the question ‘Why are we here?’ and why we feel the things we do is what makes us human. The poetry brings our senses to life in a way that gently entices us to seek the multiple meanings in the often beautiful and beguiling contradictions that life can present.
I hope that the reader is drawn into the more hidden aspects of themselves whilst reading, not only to the beauty that surrounds them, but to the beauty inside too.

Antler Jinny and the Raven : Chris Dews
Set in 65 CE, Antler Jinny and the Raven combines beautifully descriptive narrative and page turning action in a story populated by distinctive, colorful characters. At the book’s center is a young, disabled Celtic girl, Jinny, and the raven princess she is sent to serve as a slave. Both have suffered terrible reversals in their lives and both have overwhelming, irreconcilable reasons to become Queen of the Dragons.
Steeped in magic and the otherworldliness of druids, ogres, and faeries, Antler Jinny and the Raven is a finely tuned coming-of-age story about a young girl overcoming her fears, handicap, and the machinations of her enemies to ride the dragons as their queen against the villainous Fomors, the ancient feeders of hate, jealousy, mendacity and all that is evil.
Celtic mythology, early Scottish superstition, and the history of the Britons inspire and suffuse this tale of Celtic life in 65AD southwest Scotland.
Antler Jinny and the Raven shares some characters with The Druid and the Bracelet, including Druid Lailoken, Erbert the Ogre, and Grizel the faerie. You can read the books in either order, but both are enthralling, and having read one, you WILL want to read the other!
