I finally managed to translate the song about "Samad" and his book:
To the Pioneer of Freedom
In the timeless cold winter night of our era
To Samad whose warm blood has molded the red flowers floating on the Araz
Who revealed a way that became the road for every river
To Samad whose teachings and books go from house to house.
The Little Black Fish, in pursuit of the path
With a heart filled with fire, a soul filled with flames
On his way to defeat the enemy and open the path for others to follow.
To Samad whose name is spoken by all fishes in all rivers leading to the sea
Your stories are the path to Freedom
Revealing pain, manifesting labor,
The Little Black Fish, in pursuit of the path to Freedom and Justice.

My 2nd Novel is being re-released by Booktrope Publishing, I'm so excited. It will be available tomorrow!
"A really good piece of short fiction." That's what a reviewer said about Open and Shut: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1K7K42N...
One reviewer wrote,"Random Acts of Malice is fast-paced and exciting, and the New York City and Staten Island venues ramp up the tension and add to the reader's enjoyment. It's highly recommended." 5 Star Review.www.george-hopkins.com.
'People, Pubs and Enlightenment' is free on Kindle until 16th March.http://www.amazon.com/PEOPLE-PUBS-ENL...
Forgive me for bragging, but "Knight of Jerusalem" AND "St. Louis' Knight" are both Finalists for the 2014 Chaucer Award for Historical Fiction. This is very exciting news, and wonderful validation of my decades long search for writing excellence. For "St. Louis' Knight," this represents the third award, after the book earned the "Bronze" in both Historical Fiction and Spiritual/Religious Fiction in the Feathered Quill Book Awards earlier this year.
Thank you all for your encouragement and support over the years!

Hi everyone! I'm Humi. Check out my latest romance LOVE ME DO (also on Goodreads):Zaed, Sophie's American-born friend, kneels at a party to retrieve a glittering ring from the floor. Before anyone can comment, Natasha, Sophie's cousin, is shrieking 'yes, yes, I accept' to a bewildered Zaed. It's all a cosmic mistake, but things get out of hand rapidly as Zaed's father, an old friend of Natasha's father, bribes Zaed to accept Natasha's expectations and wed her. But then, Zaed and Sophie fall in love. And the huge, elaborate wedding between Zaed and Natasha, a wedding that will join two powerful families, is next week.

BirthIn the outer realm
Where my mind’s eye
Aligns with the cancer moon
I gaze into the twilight
Of the dawn of my own age
I look within my disparity with question
Through the eyes of a vulture
I seek for meaning
I hope the answers to my questions
Are the answers that I seek

Greetings to everyone,I'm hoping things will begin picking up for me in the near future as I'm somewhat on borrowed time - but then aren't we all?
I really see a whole lot of books that just beg to be read and in time I'll be able to if or when finances come around to a much better point.
Above the two books I have currently on amazon ( under HBK ), I also began a website to help authors reach readers and to bring readers to authors through bookreader.uphero.com While it is just getting started, proper funding will help take things to a whole new level.
I look forward to reading many books in the future.
Hoping to help authors reach a wide range of readers through bookreader.uphero.comIt is a work in progress but is definitely progressing.

Eventually, he gets lost in the Kentucky woods, finds a family who takes him in, and falls in love with their daughter.

New 5 star review for Deep Water!"I have just finished reading Deep Water. The book is easy to read and fast moving. Mr. Paxton has done research into the subject matter and characters in the book. He really does have a great grip on what our military members are going through when they leave military service. He is also aware of what helps them. I am so glad that his new book is now available at Amazon...Soul Man. Now I won't have to wait to read it. This is a great author!"

Just published on Kindle - my 1998 Sturgeon-nominated novelette, The Orchard.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WNHVDOK/r...
In the 22nd century, humans have discovered numerous planets teeming with life, but none with human-level intelligence. Teams of exo-biologists have been dispatched to the most promising places. The fifth planet of the Beta Hydri system has a patch of trees that bear delicious fruit. Will it kill the exo-biologists before they can prove that the orchard was deliberately planted - a sure sign of intelligent life - and get the news back to Earth?
"Paul Levinson adds a new wrinkle to the ages old search for intelligent life in the universe in 'The Orchard' ... shows us that the subtlest remnants of a civilization might be its most revealing legacy." - SF Site
