The Cloudbuster Nine
In 1943, while the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals were winning pennants and meeting in that year's World Series, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Johnny Sain practiced on a skinned-out college field in the heart of North Carolina. They and other past and future stars formed one of the greatest baseball teams of all time. They were among a cadre of fighter-pilot cadets who wore the Cloudbuster Nine baseball jersey at an elite Navy training school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As a child, Anne Keene's father, Jim Raugh, suited up as the team batboy and mascot. He got to know his baseball heroes personally, watching players hit the road on cramped, tin-can buses, ...

Karamea House
My parents never prepared me for life without them. I haven’t been taught all the things I need to know to survive alone. When Sara Johnson’s parents are killed in a car accident her oppressive world is suddenly shattered wide open. She’s now faced with choice - something she’s never had before. For seventeen years, she’s felt like a character in her own story, controlled by her parents without the ability to make her own decisions about her life, her clothes, her friends, her future. She is sent to live at Karamea House where she is exposed to a way of life she didn’t even know existed. A life filled with exploration, encouragement, and acceptance. She begins to forge relationships with people who see things differently and it unlocks something inside of her. Torn between the strict religious group she grew up in and her new eclectic foster home, Sara embarks on a divided journey of self-discovery in a new world of sexuality, banishment, love, lies, and violence. Karamea House is a modern coming-of-age story that exposes the challenging moments people can face at any stage in life on their journey to becoming their ‘true’ self.

Tough Love
Tough Love is a collection of entertaining short biographies about infamously doomed lovers, tragic original poems, horribly fascinating facts about love on the brain and a guided journal that will heal a wounded heart . . . Or at least help you miss that asshole a whole lot less. The purposeful poems were written, not to just make the reader feel, but to make them think. Each poem is followed by a series of questions that will get the reader to analyze how they approach an aspect of love and relationships with the goal of bringing about clarity and positive change. By the end of the book readers will be better prepared to find true love rather than toxic relationships. Analyzed Love Affairs...
Forgotten Heroes
First hand accounts of the men who took part in the heroic and tragic Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava on the 25th October 1854. Previously unpublished biographies of the men and photographs bring their stories to life. What became of our heroes? Some died penniless while others found fame and fortune. Set within an unrelenting and cruel military campaign, where many would perish, unravelling the myths to find many of the missing Chargers was a massive undertaking.
Holocaust Memories
Nearly eighty years have passed since the Holocaust. There have been hundreds of memoirs, histories and novels written about it, yet many fear that this important event may fall into oblivion. As Holocaust survivors pass away, their legacy of suffering, tenacity and courage could be forgotten. It is up to each generation to commemorate the victims, preserve their life stories and hopefully help prevent such catastrophes. These were my main motivations in writing this book, Holocaust Memories, which includes reviews of memoirs, histories, biographies, novels and films about the Holocaust. It was difficult to choose among the multitude of books on the subject that deserve our attention. I made...
