The Saint of Florenville
A Roman Catholic nun, Mother Marie-Thérèse, is the surviving victim of one of Belgium's most notorious crimes, involving kidnap, torture, and murder. It all took place in enchanting, picturesque Bruges, Belgium, the Venice of the North. Her co-victim, an American priest, Father Thomas Jensen, did not survive. Although his body was never found, Piet Van Kampen confessed to killing the priest, for which he received a life sentence without parole. Twenty years later, on the day after the convicted killer's death, journalist Célèste De Smet draws a career-making assignment, an exclusive, first-ever interview with the nun.

The Wisdom of Les Miserables
Alfred J. Garrotto offers Victor Hugo's flawed protagonist as a model for anyone in search of practical wisdom for everyday living. One of fiction's most beloved characters, the former convict and life-long fugitive represents humanity in both its brokenness and its potential for selfless-even saintly-living. Reflection topics range from forgiveness and the primacy of conscience to the joys and sorrows of parenthood. Each Reflection explores a universal theme, including the daily call to spiritual and moral conversion and the life-lessons parents impart to their children. Questions at the end of each Reflection invite you to use the book as your personal wisdom journal. Cover art by Douglas M. Lawson
Meditation on Woman
“Deceptively quiet, these meditations are ferocious, deep, cathartic—pouring light on the dark places of the human condition while extracting humor out of the little ironies of daily life. Meditation on Woman is a beautiful book that will prove a sturdy companion for those who are prepared to dig below the surface.” ~~David Cole, Publisher, Bay Tree Publishing
Haunts
Haunts presents an amazing ride through the back alleys of San Francisco, into a rehearsal studio filled with jealousy, violence and ghostly apparitions, all existing in a city as wondrous as it is repellent. George Zumpo, a down on his luck "half-breed" arrives in the City seeking his wife, his dog and his Volkswagen Westfalia Camper. There he meets homeless drunks, crazy cocaine snorting musicians, and a loose family of friends living in a 1970's South of Market warehouse. A novel as funny as it is dark, as tragic as it is hopeful, Haunts is a captivating portrait of people down on their luck.
Island of Dreams
In 1977, a doctors' strike brought Malta to the brink of civil war. When Sarita Toledano, a descendant of one of the island's oldest Jewish clans, was killed by a letter bomb, her family scattered throughout the world. Thirty-four years later, her daughter, Claire, and her nieces, Ellie and Vanna, reluctantly return to decide the fate of two ageing aunts. What they find is a place once more in great turmoil; in the wake of the "Arab Spring", thousands of boat people are being washed up on Malta's shores. Inevitably, past and present merge as, all round, the cousins are faced with reminders of the turbulent events that led to their forced departure. As they again confront the central tragedy of their lives, they begin to re-define themselves and their allegiances to family, religion and country.
