At 14, she runs nearly a thousand miles away to Vancouver, British Columbia, eventually landing herself in a Catholic home for troubled girls. At 16, she’s emancipated, navigating adulthood without a high school diploma, and craving a soulmate. When she falls in love with Jack, the grad student living next door, life finally seems perfect. The two embark on a cross-continental bicycle trip, headed for South America, but before they reach Mexico, Jack dies. Utterly shattered, Marilyn does the hardest thing she can imagine: a solo bicycle trip, part tribute, part life test. She conquers her fears but goes wildly off course, chasing her heart as she falls into a series of tragicomic rebounds. Two itinerant years later, a chain of events in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains leads to a peace she never expected to find. </p><p style="color: #333333; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: justify;">Reminiscent of <i>Wild</i> and <i>Travelling with Ghosts</i>, Marilyn’s journey portrays a life unmoored by grief, brought to shore again.

At 14, she runs nearly a thousand miles away to Vancouver, British Columbia, eventually landing herself in a Catholic home for troubled girls. At 16, she’s emancipated, navigating adulthood without a high school diploma, and craving a soulmate. When she falls in love with Jack, the grad student living next door, life finally seems perfect. The two embark on a cross-continental bicycle trip, headed for South America, but before they reach Mexico, Jack dies. Utterly shattered, Marilyn does the hardest thing she can imagine: a solo bicycle trip, part tribute, part life test. She conquers her fears but goes wildly off course, chasing her heart as she falls into a series of tragicomic rebounds. Two itinerant years later, a chain of events in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains leads to a peace she never expected to find.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">After a colorful life spanning four continents and 16 cities, earning her keep as cook, chambermaid, waitress, fisherwoman, missionary, speaker/teacher, tutor, and academic writing editor, <a href="https://marilynkriete.com/" target="_blank">MARILYN KRIETE</a> now lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, with her charitable husband Henry and three demanding cats.

Benoit Mandelbrot coined the term in the 1970s, but scientists and mathematicians had been exploring the concept for centuries. Mandelbrot developed a geometry to express things found in the natural rather than the man-made world - coastlines, galaxies, anatomy, clouds, trees, snowflakes, and the like. Fractals are intrinsic to Chaos Theory - the science of surprises, of the non-linear and unpredictable. They reveal the order governing the seemingly chaotic in our world. As we learn to recognize them, we gain insight into our world, ourselves, and one another.</span></p><p><span style="text-align: justify;">Especially at this cultural moment, when the whole world has changed and we must re-imagine the ways in which we make art and the ways we educate, Fractals provides resources and approaches for collaborative art and for locating the intersection of arts and academics in ways that illuminate both.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094FZHRQK?ie=UTF8&tag=ntp30706-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B094FZHRQK" style="color: #7d181e; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsC4k53CRP1Nd4kVAXnDlLyMrBn119FCgfV1BSciN1A4wTwPCvDufwJpw4Xsyv1SsOqqx82P4GXojWnhBZLKvxufUK9DXNILf9EOWjr43gL3Vx8M7ZXivDviZasmA6CDgtQ8i1epbLy_A/w200-h73/Available+on+Amazon+-+us.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B094FZHRQK?ie=UTF8&tag=ntp30706-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B094FZHRQK" style="color: #7d181e; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8eX3Fm3tLCSI9lC__qYSxNJE32y0lr4YZoSp8hS5RkqFQezG7Lafxl7RY59fq4s_Q8dNokkFS9h04nWF8i-K93u9Hw4unmeDtvRX4p-YIeIX2F_gYdYLyS01XbAmmZwX6FSHpWs0fLfI/w200-h73/Available+amazon+-+uk.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B094FZHRQK?ie=UTF8&tag=ntp30706-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B094FZHRQK" style="color: #7d181e; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWzJNKLqgFlbvdC-Xm6ikRSxj0ts8_ZpBj848DCfXsnG7-qksjq-iBKF_9VWjOmJuV5gjrGSGGCKUuvpt0YaKkG6VMYw7JZwwJaT1z2CW6GMOSQP41ouw8f8OEnMCIMj3rBcavY2GKVo/w200-h73/available+amazon+-+ca.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a></p>

From there she expanded into producing, directing, music directing, costume design, choreography, and dramaturgy. She began her teaching career through music education, completing a Master’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and teaching multiple academic subjects at every level from pre-kindergarten through graduate school. During her doctoral work in education, an advisor asked why she had separated her performance and education experiences and urged her to combine them. Her dissertation research was a qualitative, longitudinal study of fostering cross-cultural communication using theater techniques. Her previous writing has included poetry, educational journals, book reviews, and playwriting. She has done staff development and curriculum writing for the Fairfax County Public Schools and taught undergraduate theater and graduate education at George Mason University. She lives in Virginia with her husband, Adam, and her son, Gabriel.</p><p style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 14px;">To request review copies or an interview, </b><b style="font-size: 14px;">please contact Mickey Mikkelson at Creative Edge Publicity:<br />mickey.creativeedge@gmail.com / 403.464.6925. </b></p><p style="font-size: x-large;"></p><p style="font-size: x-large;"></p></div>J.M.

He started submitting his work for publication at the age of fifteen and had his first story published in 1992, the same year he graduated from university. Under the name Mark Leslie, he has published more than a dozen full length books. He pens a series of non-fiction paranormal explorations for Dundurn, Canada’s largest independent publisher. He also writes fiction (typically thrillers and horror) and edits fiction anthologies, most recently as a regular editor for the WMG Publishing Fiction River anthology series.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">The very same year, Mark saw his first short story in print he started working in the book industry as a part-time bookseller, and was bitten by the book-selling bug. He has worked in virtually every type of bookstore (independent, chain, large-format, online, academic and digital). He has thrived on innovation, particularly related to digital publishing, and enjoys interacting with the various people who make the book industry so dynamic. Between 2011 and 2017, Mark worked at the Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Kobo where he was the driving force behind the creation of Kobo Writing Life, a free and easy to use author/small-publisher friendly platform designed to publish directly to Kobo’s global catalog in 190 countries. By the end of 2016, Kobo Writing Life established itself as the #1 single source of weekly global unit sales for Kobo and, in primarily English language territories, responsible for 1 in every 4 eBooks sold. Mark has spoken professionally in the United States and Canada, in the UK and across Europe, specializing in advances in digital publishing and the vast and incredible opportunities that exist for writers and publishers. Stark Publishing is an imprint Mark created in 2004 when he released his first book One Hand Screaming. He has used the imprint to publish more than 25 books.

Teaching children and parents to appreciate themselves. Praise for Poohlicious: "Oh the Wonder of Me!" Book three in the Poohlicious series is carrying on the tradition of seeing the wonderfulness in each child. Oh, the Wonder of Me, shares both the funny parts of children and the things that make them different, teaching them that they are okay no matter what. Having different shaped ears, hair that won't behave and doing things in their own style is what childhood is full of. Join us with your Poohlicious as we journey through the funny and sometimes awkward parts of childhood while learning empowering I AM statements to carry with them as they grow. Wonderful for ages four through seven. Let's get them started early on a road to self-belief and empowerment.</span></p><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1733510362?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=1733510362" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsC4k53CRP1Nd4kVAXnDlLyMrBn119FCgfV1BSciN1A4wTwPCvDufwJpw4Xsyv1SsOqqx82P4GXojWnhBZLKvxufUK9DXNILf9EOWjr43gL3Vx8M7ZXivDviZasmA6CDgtQ8i1epbLy_A/w200-h73/Available+on+Amazon+-+us.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1733510362?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=1733510362" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8eX3Fm3tLCSI9lC__qYSxNJE32y0lr4YZoSp8hS5RkqFQezG7Lafxl7RY59fq4s_Q8dNokkFS9h04nWF8i-K93u9Hw4unmeDtvRX4p-YIeIX2F_gYdYLyS01XbAmmZwX6FSHpWs0fLfI/w200-h73/Available+amazon+-+uk.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1733510362?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=1733510362" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWzJNKLqgFlbvdC-Xm6ikRSxj0ts8_ZpBj848DCfXsnG7-qksjq-iBKF_9VWjOmJuV5gjrGSGGCKUuvpt0YaKkG6VMYw7JZwwJaT1z2CW6GMOSQP41ouw8f8OEnMCIMj3rBcavY2GKVo/w200-h73/available+amazon+-+ca.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><em><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #c00000; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">More Books in The Series:</span></b></em><em><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #333333; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></em></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=jmn1971-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B08R9T13QC&asins=B08R9T13QC&linkId=63d45d1ea8556f61f51f02671e0b4f60&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=false&price_color=000000&title_color=a900f7&bg_color=ffffff" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;">

Anzar the Progenitor documents my spirit communication with this ancient alien, including his prophecies, sage advice, and commentary on the world. The book has extensive endnotes and includes my research on the nature of this communication through mediumship and my theory of how the alien world, the spirit world, and the quantum world are the same—a quantum nexus. We can no longer wait for government disclosure about UFOs and aliens. The time has come for personal revelation through a leap of consciousness in a new Era of Reconversion. We are all related and we are the aliens.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095CB9DVT?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B095CB9DVT" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsC4k53CRP1Nd4kVAXnDlLyMrBn119FCgfV1BSciN1A4wTwPCvDufwJpw4Xsyv1SsOqqx82P4GXojWnhBZLKvxufUK9DXNILf9EOWjr43gL3Vx8M7ZXivDviZasmA6CDgtQ8i1epbLy_A/w200-h73/Available+on+Amazon+-+us.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B095CB9DVT?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B095CB9DVT" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8eX3Fm3tLCSI9lC__qYSxNJE32y0lr4YZoSp8hS5RkqFQezG7Lafxl7RY59fq4s_Q8dNokkFS9h04nWF8i-K93u9Hw4unmeDtvRX4p-YIeIX2F_gYdYLyS01XbAmmZwX6FSHpWs0fLfI/w200-h73/Available+amazon+-+uk.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B095CB9DVT?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B095CB9DVT" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWzJNKLqgFlbvdC-Xm6ikRSxj0ts8_ZpBj848DCfXsnG7-qksjq-iBKF_9VWjOmJuV5gjrGSGGCKUuvpt0YaKkG6VMYw7JZwwJaT1z2CW6GMOSQP41ouw8f8OEnMCIMj3rBcavY2GKVo/w200-h73/available+amazon+-+ca.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #c00000; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">More Works from Bruce Olav Solheim:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Timeless Series</span><o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">May 29, 2021: Lucid House Publishing prides itself on seeking out and developing key talents in the literary arts. The company, founded by authors for authors, offers a bespoke publishing solution — a fancy way of saying that the Lucid House team works with an author, whose work is a good fit for the publishing house, in whatever capacity you need to get your book ready for publication. Whether your project requires content editing, ghost writing, cover design, interior layouts, or consulting, Lucid House helps authors devote their time to match their goals for their unique projects.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As a relatively new publisher, Lucid House’s business model — treating other authors the way the award-winning founders and authors, Echo Montgomery Garrett and Connor Judson Garrett, want to be treated — has faced challenges competing within an expansive book market where only four big traditional houses remain and where self-publishing is becoming an even stronger trend. Gauging the effectiveness amongst readers and book market share alike has been challenging particularly when its major new releases all came out during the pandemic. But that all changed today!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lucid House Publishing, an Atlanta-based company, has one Winner and four Finalists (one a consulting client) in the prestigious 15th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards, sponsored by Smarketing LLC., a company established in 2007 by Ellen Reid, an entrepreneur who has guided hundreds of authors in creating their own publishing companies and producing books of outstanding quality.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The award submissions number in the thousands, making it quite an honor to have even one Finalist much less four plus a category Winner, all in hotly contested categories.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lucid House Publishing had representation in five different categories. Please see selections below:

At 14, she runs nearly a thousand miles away to Vancouver, British Columbia, eventually landing herself in a Catholic home for troubled girls. At 16, she’s emancipated, navigating adulthood without a high school diploma, and craving a soulmate. When she falls in love with Jack, the grad student living next door, life finally seems perfect. The two embark on a cross-continental bicycle trip, headed for South America, but before they reach Mexico, Jack dies. Utterly shattered, Marilyn does the hardest thing she can imagine: a solo bicycle trip, part tribute, part life test. She conquers her fears but goes wildly off course, chasing her heart as she falls into a series of tragicomic rebounds. Two itinerant years later, a chain of events in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains leads to a peace she never expected to find. </p><p style="color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: justify;">Reminiscent of <i>Wild</i> and <i>Travelling with Ghosts</i>, Marilyn’s journey portrays a life unmoored by grief, brought to shore again.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #660000;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PW1NMZ7?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B08PW1NMZ7" target="_blank">My Pursuit of Beauty: </a></span></span></i></b><b><i><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #660000;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PW1NMZ7?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B08PW1NMZ7" target="_blank">A Cosmetic Chemist Reveals the Glitz, The Glam and The Batsh*t Crazy</a><br /></span></span></i></b><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #c00000;">By Vince Spinnatto</span></b><br /><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #660000;"> </span></span></b><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #660000;">Finalist: </span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #c00000;">LGBTQ Non-Fiction Category</span></b><br /><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #660000;">Publisher: </span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #c00000;">BookLogix / Consultant: Lucid House Publishing</span></b></span></p><h1 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><b><img align="left" alt="A picture containing text, person Description automatically generated" height="306" hspace="12" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413nE+UbL5L.jpg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px;" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_1" width="202" /><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></h1><p style="color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: justify;">At age 10, Vince Spinnato watched TV soaps with his grandmother and became enamored with the characters on The Young and the Restless, who owned a cosmetics firm. He vowed he would follow in their footsteps and chose a name - VS Vincenzo. In his unconventional memoir, Spinnato shares the inner workings of the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry with entertaining tales about creating beauty products and fine fragrances for celebrities including Michael Jordan, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, and many others.</p><p style="color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: justify;">Spinnato also shares some of his life's most bizarre situations: the time he survived a tornado in Iowa while being tethered to a bridge; another when he became stuck inside a resort water slide that involved melted butter and a rescue by the fire department; an embarrassing meetup with film star Lauren Bacall; and his terrifying flight post 9/11 that was nearly shot down by fighter pilots.</p><p style="color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: justify;">Transforming himself into a well-known serial entrepreneur and beauty industry expert was no small feat. Along the way, Spinnato dealt with incessant bullying, coming out, dyslexia, body dysmorphia, trichotillomania, and multiple betrayals. "A devastating breakup was the last straw", he says. "At age 20, I got in my car, waved goodbye to New Jersey and headed to Hollywood, determined to launch my career."</p><p style="color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: justify;">He eventually founded TurnKey Beauty, Inc., to develop beauty and personal care products for celebrities, as well as major retailers (more than 300 products and counting). A contributor to Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, W, Esquire, and GQ, the cosmetic chemist founded Aegean Skincare, LLC and Vincenzo Skincare, LLC. In My Pursuit of Beauty, Spinnato not only reveals behind-the-scenes tales of working with the rich and famous, searing stories of loves lost, and his scramble to make it, but also his moving journey to self-acceptance.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p align="center" class="Default" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #660000;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087ZQCXCG?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B087ZQCXCG" target="_blank"><b><i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" lang="EN-CA">Spellbound Under the Spanish Moss</span></i></b><br /><b><i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" lang="EN-CA">A Southern Tale of Magic</span></i></b></a></span><br /><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-CA" style="color: #c00000;">By son-and-father duo Connor Judson Garrett and Kevin N.

2021 … Coming soon from Craig DiLouie, <i>The
Aviator</i> is a two-part series that presents the war memoirs of a modern
carrier fighter pilot.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p><strong><i><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The
Aviator</span></i></strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> and its sequel, <i>The Warfighter</i> take the reader aboard a modern
aircraft supercarrier and into the cockpit of an F/A-18 Super Hornet to fight
near-future wars in the Pacific that are both terrifying and all too possible.</span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Both books
are heavily researched, with a former TOPGUN pilot serving as an editorial
consultant to provide the most authentic experience possible.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In <i>The
Aviator</i>, the U.S. has fought a short, sharp war with China over Taiwan. In
a prison cell in Beijing, Navy fighter pilot Jack Knapp tells his story about
the war and how he ended up in a Chinese show trial, accused of crimes against
humanity.</span></strong> <strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">With his life in the balance, Jack will have to choose between survival
and participating in his captors’ lies, and ultimately learn the true meaning
of heroism in a war between superpowers where even stories are weapons.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">
</p><p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In <i>The
Warfighter</i>, peace has returned to the Pacific, but it doesn’t last. War
breaks out on the Korean peninsula, drawing America into a fresh conflict that
sees use of some of the world’s deadliest weapons. In the aftermath, Jack Knapp
tells a news reporter about the war and how he helped prevent a nuclear attack
that could have destroyed an American city. As the media simultaneously cheers
and questions the war, Jack sets out to explain the truth of its heroism and
horror—so that all might understand war’s true cost.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Published

He will send humans out to many worlds.</span></span><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1647100186?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=1647100186" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsC4k53CRP1Nd4kVAXnDlLyMrBn119FCgfV1BSciN1A4wTwPCvDufwJpw4Xsyv1SsOqqx82P4GXojWnhBZLKvxufUK9DXNILf9EOWjr43gL3Vx8M7ZXivDviZasmA6CDgtQ8i1epbLy_A/w200-h73/Available+on+Amazon+-+us.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1647100186?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=1647100186" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8eX3Fm3tLCSI9lC__qYSxNJE32y0lr4YZoSp8hS5RkqFQezG7Lafxl7RY59fq4s_Q8dNokkFS9h04nWF8i-K93u9Hw4unmeDtvRX4p-YIeIX2F_gYdYLyS01XbAmmZwX6FSHpWs0fLfI/w200-h73/Available+amazon+-+uk.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1647100186?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=1647100186" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWzJNKLqgFlbvdC-Xm6ikRSxj0ts8_ZpBj848DCfXsnG7-qksjq-iBKF_9VWjOmJuV5gjrGSGGCKUuvpt0YaKkG6VMYw7JZwwJaT1z2CW6GMOSQP41ouw8f8OEnMCIMj3rBcavY2GKVo/w200-h73/available+amazon+-+ca.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "Times Roman", serif; text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #c00000; font-size: medium;">ABOUT BEN BOVA:</span></b></div><div style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; text-align: left;"><p style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://benbova.com/" style="color: #7d181e; float: left; padding-right: 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img alt="conversation" border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXH8DHt9NjZog-VEPHAmafSNhCV2SjPqYk_9v3LVwXF4f2Abt4dO5P86gDYOqlPYNsR_85k93lrwFWmdTaHUcxh1YNHi_FBa1H3iiHrIBRUv27v_RnljHgwgLQPFaJZppLLeQjWmt_LhQ/s0/ben+bova.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="140" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: "Times Roman", serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: #26282a; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 21px; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://benbova.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Ben Bova</a> published more than 120 futuristic novels and nonfiction books, and hundreds of articles and short stories, and was involved in science and high technology since the very beginnings of the space age.

Russians sift the dust of a lunar “sea” for helium-3 to run future fusion reactors. Commercial robots, remotely operated from Earth, roam the Moon’s near side in a hunt for mineral wealth. Why chase distant asteroids for precious metals? Onetime asteroids must lie close beneath the much-bombarded lunar surface.<br /><br />Then a prospecting robot encounters a desiccated, spacesuited figure. An alien figure...<br /><br />Americans from the lunar observatory investigate. Near the original find, underground, they discover an alien installation. Lunar Russians, realizing that the Americans are up to something clandestine, send their own small team. Each group distrusts the other … even before the fatal “accidents” begin. By the time anyone suspects what ancient evil they have awakened, it may be too late — For everyone on earth, too.</span></span><p style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093X15TXW?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B093X15TXW" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsC4k53CRP1Nd4kVAXnDlLyMrBn119FCgfV1BSciN1A4wTwPCvDufwJpw4Xsyv1SsOqqx82P4GXojWnhBZLKvxufUK9DXNILf9EOWjr43gL3Vx8M7ZXivDviZasmA6CDgtQ8i1epbLy_A/w200-h73/Available+on+Amazon+-+us.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B093X15TXW?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B093X15TXW" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8eX3Fm3tLCSI9lC__qYSxNJE32y0lr4YZoSp8hS5RkqFQezG7Lafxl7RY59fq4s_Q8dNokkFS9h04nWF8i-K93u9Hw4unmeDtvRX4p-YIeIX2F_gYdYLyS01XbAmmZwX6FSHpWs0fLfI/w200-h73/Available+amazon+-+uk.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 10px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B093X15TXW?ie=UTF8&tag=jmn1971-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B093X15TXW" style="color: #7d181e; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWzJNKLqgFlbvdC-Xm6ikRSxj0ts8_ZpBj848DCfXsnG7-qksjq-iBKF_9VWjOmJuV5gjrGSGGCKUuvpt0YaKkG6VMYw7JZwwJaT1z2CW6GMOSQP41ouw8f8OEnMCIMj3rBcavY2GKVo/w200-h73/available+amazon+-+ca.png" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 1.5px; border: 0.25px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 2px; position: relative;" width="150" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="Default"><a name="_Hlk71117201"><b><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-CA" style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-size: medium;">PRAISE FOR <i>DÉJÀ DOOMED</i> AND EDWARD M.
