Hi,
My new book "Afterlife - An Introduction to Dante's Inferno" is an introduction to this amazing work for the reader who doesn't have the time to delve into the research necessary to explore the many levels of this work. Plenty of images also.

My food memoir, TASTING HOME: COMING OF AGE IN THE KITCHEN, is forthcoming with She Writes Press, February 2013. It's the history of a woman’s emotional education, a romantic tale of a marriage between a straight woman and a gay man, and an exploration of the ways in which cooking can lay the groundwork not only for personal healing and intimate relation but for political community as well.

If you're curious about ancient cultures and the impact mythology, folklore, and storytelling have on us today you'll find this book an interesting read. (Look Inside feature available on Amazon.)

Hello everyone!

John F. Kennedy said, “The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.”

Many of the unusual conclusions concerning the death of President Kennedy are myths: unrealistic and incorrect statements kept alive by those who would prefer fabrications that promote sensationalism as opposed to the quiet reality of fact. Enemy of the Truth: Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination filters long held but questionable beliefs through contemporary, reliable, established scientific disciplines. Finally, we can scientifically answer questions such as:
• Can modern bullet trajectory analysis prove the fatal head shot come from the Grassy Knoll?
• Is the Single Bullet Theory possible?
• Does Kennedy's small forward movement proceeding the more pronounced back and to the left movement prove two simultaneous headshots?
• Why do some Dealey Plaza witnesses believe the limousine stopped while others do not?
• Is the blood in Zapruder film frame 313 proof of a rear shooter or one from the front?

After almost 50 years, the most studied murder investigation of the 21st century remains plagued by myths that continue to rear their head. These claims summon the naive to join forces in a “truth is stranger than fiction” campaign that distort our nation’s historical narrative. Regardless of how tenacious and believable an enduring claim may be, if lacking historical or scientific sustenance it is a myth. Enemy of the Truth: Myths, Forensics and the Kennedy assassination dispels myths; the very thing Kennedy described as the great enemy of truth.

[Colin]

Hello all, I am Colin Heaton, and I have authored a few books, and coauthored eeven more with my wife. We write military history and biographies, and I am a Goodreads author. Nice to meet you. Please visit our website at lewisheatonbooks.com for all of our titles, or just go to Amazon, or BN.com. I look forward to having discussions.

[June]

I am struggling like everyone else over promotion. I've decided to give excerpts a shot. What do you all think?

Here's my first:
“Put that thing away. You could have shot me. What in God’s name are you doing here?”
“I’m looking for food. Why else why would I be here? And why aren’t you out chasing the bad guys?” I accused.
“Shit! I should be! What a great fucking time to come down with food poisoning.” He strode to the door and looked outside. “There’s a Goddamn curfew. How the hell did you get here?”
“I walked.”
“Oh bullshit!
“No bullshit, and now I’ve got to walk back so I had better hurry before it gets dark. I don’t want a nervous MP shooting me.”
“Don’t chance it. You had better stay here the night.”
“Thanks but no thanks. If any choppers spot me, I’m definitely not dressed like Charlie.”
“You are crazy! Everyone’s trigger happy right now.”
“Don’t you talk! Your door was unlocked.
”Son of a bitch!”
“Anyhow, the fighting must have moved further away. I’m guessing down towards the Chinese area of Cholon.”
“Well if you won’t stay, be careful. You wouldn’t have died from hunger.”
He shook his head as I left with my little bundle.
The adrenalin which made the outward journey exciting had now dissipated. I couldn’t wait to get home.
Dead Charlie was still lying where I had left him, a swarm of flies keeping him company. His small, leather wallet lay open in the dirt beside him, stained dark with blood. I wondered had one of our soldiers taken it out of his pocket and but I didn’t want to see his photos. That would make him too human to me. I skirted him and hurried down the driveway, wondering would anyone move him before he began to stink. I said a silent prayer for his soul, but better him than one of ours, I reminded myself.

Great to know about new works on fur trade in the northwest. I read pre-1970's works as a grad student, History Dept., UO, so I will scope out the non-fiction author and reader page. Thank you, Jim

Do you like Auntie Anne's Pretzels? Interested in non-fiction narratives?

This is the cautious tales of two Wharton MBAs who brought a beloved US franchise to China and encountered outrageous obstacles that will make anyone in business laugh, cringe, and think twice about doing business in Asia.

I am looking for more reviews of several of my books. SEveral of them are nonfiction, some of them creative nonfiction.

So I've set up a little website where Goodreads readers can get thsta book (and several others) at my cost plus a dollar for shipping. All I ask is that anyone who buys a book there write a review for Goodreads.

The webpage is http://cheneybooks.com/reviewers . There's a link to a different page where you can read free excerpts.

The books there are about the Pilgrims, Abraham Lincoln, Swaziland, Chernobyl, and an old road in Brazil.

Thanks again for your interest in my books. I hope they bring you some contentment in this new year we have ahead of us.

Sincerely,

Glenn Alan Cheney

Hello Everyone. My name is Aleathea Dupree and I'm the author of Cheer Up Your Wife: A DIY Biblical Guide. The book is newly released (3 weeks on Amazon.com) and the testimonials/reviews are starting to come in. I would love to have your feedback and discuss the book with you here on Good Reads, so please consider this a personal invitation to my new group, Q&A with Aleathea Dupree.

[Michelle]

Hello. I've just joined the group. I recently published Work it Baby: 12 Steps to a Fitter, Stronger & Smarter Brain. It's a humorous look at the brain, what it does for us (quite a lot as it turns out!), why we should look after it & the best ways to do it. It's quite tongue in cheek in parts (blame my brain- it put the tongue there) but also informative & ( I hope) interesting! Anyway the Amazon page link is here http://amzn.to/WyVKCM if you're interested. Thank you if any of you are... & reviews are always appreciated (even though I'm scared to read them).

[Brad]

[Shawn]

Hello fellow authors. Great to be a part of this group.

As children, we used to pretend to be our favorite superheroes. As adults, we realize the world we live in really needs one.

There's no denying how difficult life can be. The Christian life is a life spent constantly fending off pain, fear, loneliness, and despair.

Faith in God that once seemed so rich and vibrant fades into a gray acceptance of our own powerlessness.

Having lived that life, Shawn McNamara presents a devotional collection aimed at reminding us of who we are, whose we are, and what we can do with the blessings God has given us.

This encouragement is just the sort of superpower we need to rise above the circumstances of life and take hold of a strong, thrilling faith.

Ever see yourself as a hero?

[Gary]

Hello everyone.

My name is Gary Goldstein and I am always interested in being interviewed for my book, "Jew in Jail," as well as having it reviewed.

http://ning.it/Lk20hZ

"Jew in Jail," is about the nearly six years I spent in various New York State prisons for robbery, based on my past addictions to alcohol, drugs and gambling.

It details all of the trails and tribulations I experienced as a minority behind bars, and how I was forced to fend for myself while incarcerated.

"Jew in Jail" is truthful, insightful, educational, and at times even funny, all the while focusing on my attempts at rehabilitation from my past addictions, so that I could lead a productive, law-abiding life upon my eventual release.

"Jew in Jail" is recommended for anyone suffering from an addiction, a family member, friend, loved one, or co-worker of such a person, or anyone living with low self-esteem and self-confidence who is interested in a better way of life.

[Robert]

Good morning! I'm Robert James, and my book is WHO Won?!? An Irreverent Look at the Oscars, V.1: 1927-1943. The book is available on Amazon (Kindle and trade paperback) and B&N (for Nook).

The book is the first in a series; v.2 should be out this July (my publisher just scheduled that date!).

Here's what the books are about: If you've ever wondered why the Oscars seem to go to the wrong movies, WHO Won?!? is the book for you. Beginning with the first Oscar ceremony, Robert James looks at all the major categories, slashing and burning his way through the bad, praising the good, and offering the best for your consideration. A comic, biting analysis of hundreds of films, WHO Won?!? is a guide to the wonderful movies you missed - and a warning against the ones you should never have seen in the first place. Volume One, 1927-1943 covers the Golden Age of Hollywood, from the death of the silent picture to the heights of studio Hollywood. Year by year, the author considers and discusses the Academy's choices, as well as those which should have been nominated, finishing each category with those which should have won. He often includes some of the history behind the making of the films, as well as how the movies reflect on America. More than just an examination of the choices the Academy made (or should have made), WHO Won?!? provides a yearbook of American cinema, both glorious and disastrous. Deftly switching from the ridiculous to the sublime and back again, WHO Won?!? will leave you both laughing and thinking.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/WHO-Won-Irrever...

If you're interested, for the next four days, there's a FREE preview chapter available here: http://www.amazon.com/WHO-Won-1940-PR...

Hi I'm Yvonne Ryves and my first book is due to be published mid March but I have just listed it as a giveaway so hope you will have a look.

It's called Shaman Pathways Web of Life

'Every single one of us lives our lives within a wheel, a circle, a hoop or a web and every single one of us can benefit from learning how to live our lives to the full within it. The problem though, for many of us, is that because we do not belong to the culture of a medicine wheel or wheel of direction, we find that the wheels do not really fit us or we have trouble connecting with or remembering the attributes. This book provides information, guidance and exercises to help readers find ways to connect with the web of life and weave their path within it.'

… a new way of looking at and working with ancient knowledge Ross Heaven, The Four Gates Foundation

….ideally suited for those who are looking for practical tools to start or develop their own practice and path through life. June Kent, Editor, Indie Shaman Magazine

[Victoria]

Hello!

I'm Victoria Wilcox, historical fiction author and BIG reader of non-fiction! I always have a stack of real history books going, my current is Andrea Stuart's "Sugar in the Blood," about her family of black plantation owners in Barbados from the 1600's to the present. A tragic story wonderfully written. Heard her on NPR and ordered the book before the program was over. It's background for my next book about a real-life Barbadian sugar planter turned Caribbean pirate. My release this year is also historical fiction, "Southern Son: The Saga of Doc Holliday," from Knox Robinson Publishing, London. Looking forward to finding some source materials and new favorite NF authors here! www.victoriawilcoxbooks.com

[Alan]

Hi Victoria, if you, like me, love true, incredible stories you'll love this one! My only book to date but has become a Canadian Best Seller, got honourable mention in Hollywood book awards 2010 and continues to gain international interest. now available in e-books too.

[Alan]

I researched your books on Doc Holliday, looks like the very type of reading I would enjoy! You got good reviews on them too! Great job!

[Mick]

Hi All,
I'm Mick McCoy, an Australian author who, after a 12 year hiatus is setting about re-establsihing a great deal of lost ground. My two previously published books of literary fiction met with some acclaim, Burning Sunday being short-listed for some major literary prizes here. But that means nothing when you have succumbed to procrastination for as long as I did.
So I'm mid-way through blogging a new novel @ www.mickmccoy.com I'd love yo to come take a look and, if you like it and/or feel like supporting, sign up to 'Follow by email' so you can get notifications of my twice weekly posts of new episodes.
I look forward to immersing myself in the writing of others in the group!

Hi,
I wrote my biography "Odyssey through Hell" you can find it here http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00BM9EKSG,
It relates the quest through family business and whilst searching for the proverbial pot of gold, I found something else much more valuable.

Hi all,

Its not medically or psychologically focussed but my book Dodging Suicide A Lifetime's Preoccupation is perhaps the most hilarious and moving you might read on the subject of Bipolar. Its enjoying universal 5 star reviews on a number of platforms like Amazon, Kindle, Kobo, Barnes & Noble,ibooks etc.

I hope some might take advantage of sampling a free chapter by logging on to my site www.kit-johnson.com

The website has a very active blog and many of these are published in journals around the world

Hi all,
Just posting again to share the coupon code for a free download for my book, Finding God, Creating Me. I had it posted free to begin with but in trying to learn the ins and outs of all of the different distributors, I ended up putting a price on it. However, I created the coupon code to still offer it free through April (coupon expires May 1). If you see this post after that date and would like a new coupon code, just email me at julie (at) lovingchristministries.com, and I will send you one.

Through April, though, use coupon code GZ64Q upon checkout at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view... to get Finding God, Creating Me: A Testimony of Grief and Faith free.

Thanks!
