A Space Apart
Willis fleshes out with warmth and tenderness the complexities of family love, which not only defines commitment but deepens the need. An important new talent. -The Kirkus Reviews This is the story of a broken family trying to mend itself through three generations. It is a painful but essential process, and like all such repair jobs, it is only partly successful. Before it is over we come to know John and Vera and Mary Kay, as well as Vera's daughters, Lee and Tonie-to understand the wars they must declare and the peaces that they are able to proclaim within the state of being Scarlins. -The Philadelphia Inquirer Willis views the Scarlin family ties and loyalties, limits and tensions, with realism, sensitivity and precision. A noteworthy first novel. -Publisher's Weekly
February Light
At age 59, just after moving with her husband to the tiny community of Osprey Lakes, Pennsylvania, Heather Remoff was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This book is part medical diary, with details of the disease; part nature journal, as month by month what is happening in Heather's body parallels the outdoors; and part chronicle of the richness of small town daily life. An inspiring true story.
Pocock & Pitt
"It's a long time since I read a book that was so consistently enjoyable. The whole novel, while tough and disenchanted, increases your appetite for life." -Eastern Daily Press "A strange and comic odyssey, too complicated to summarize, but a joy to read." -Daily Telegraph "Pocock and Pitt is philosophical, witty and erudite, wise and exciting and one of the best novels I have read this year." -Irish Times "Elliott Baker is one of the wittiest of American authors. Quite rightly, this is a "one of a kind" fiction." -The Scotsman

The thirst that drives him is relentless, moving deeper and deeper into his own shattering, private realm, where each murder is a delicious new gift of life

AIDS, the Winter War
'The most complete history of how AIDS treatment activism began - and an appalling look at the government AIDS mismanagement which continues today." -John S. James, editor, AIDS Treatment News 'In persuasive detail.Kahn demonstrates [that] the struggle against AIDS requires a continuous fight against vested interests that have little regard for alternative ideas and against egotists who put self-aggrandizement above a worldwide crisis. Arthur Kahn's book presents the history of the clinical struggle and identifies heroes, many of whom have died fighting for all of us. Their efforts must be recognized. Their struggle is not over." -William Regelson, M.D., Professor, College of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University (from the introduction)
Conscious Energy
"According to Provenzano, 'What is it all about?' and 'How should we live>' are the 'Two Big Questions' philosophy should answer if it is to benefit the human race. . . Conscious Energy is a challenging and thought-provoking work that once again places the 'Two Big Questions' at the center of philosophical inquiry." -Bodhi Tree Bookstore, Los Angeles "[Provenzano] provides an immediately understandable portrayal of the key concepts of Teilhard's thought and of its implications. This summary is without doubt the clearest that I have read on Teilhard." -Editor, The Teilhard Review www.proandsons.com
