Creatures of Our Time, in a Land Fit for Heroes
This is the second volume of autobiography, after Dizzy. Far from bobbing up and down on the seven seas in the Royal Navy, as had previously been his wont, Dave Diss is trying his luck as a newly married civilian in the Big Smoke, among the toppers and bowlers still worn in the city in those days of 1955, working in the still Blitz-scarred capital of The United Kingdom of Great Britain, pushing a pen as a poorly paid underwriter for The Yorkshire Insurance Company, in Cornhill, just around the corner from The Royal Exchange and The Bank of England, where the big nobs hang out, and The Stock Exchange, in Throgmorton Street.
James Cool
In the summer of 1985, the Winston clan – Virginia and Robert and their children Sonny and Cassius – move from the Southside of St. Louis to the city’s Northside and take up space on a street famously known as James Cool. The family’s resolve is tested immediately after Virginia befriends a neighborhood tough-guy; Robert gives in to the traps of success; and the two boys are targeted by the posse of thugs that terrorizes the street. James Cool, a classic American novel by Toriano Porter featuring Rory L. Watkins
Of Mooncursers and Other Spunyarns
"Mooncursers" takes place near "Baltimore Maryland," during the early part of WWII. A story of two boys, each battling his own devils. Both are strengthened through adventure and the overcoming of self imposed guilt. They decipher a cryptic note and right an old wrong. All this in order to give new meaning to the life of an elderly lady living in an old Baltimore slum and to return to her what is rightfully hers. This is a story of boys who find young manhood and lifelong confidence through adversity, adventure and intrigue. Between these covers are other short stories for old boys and young men. Some will delight, drawing a chuckle and others to inspire thought. A few will leave an introspective question or two to ponder. One story is pure piffle. See if you recognize which one.
Almost Family
Liz Millanova has stage four cancer, a grown daughter who doesn’t speak to her, and obsessive memories of a relationship that tore apart her marriage. She thinks of herself as someone who’d rather die than sit through a support group, but now that she actually is going to die, she figures she might as well give it a go. Mercy’s Thriving Survivors is a hospital-sponsored group held in a presumably less depressing location: a Nordstrom’s employee training lounge. There, Liz hits it off with two other patients, and the three unlikely friends decide to ditch the group and meet on their own. They call themselves the Oakland Mets, and their goal is to enjoy life while they can. Together, D...
Dave Brubeck's Time Out
Dave Brubeck's Time Out ranks among the most popular, successful, and influential jazz albums of all time. Released by Columbia in 1959, alongside such other landmark albums as Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and Charles Mingus's Mingus Ah Um, Time Out became one of the first jazz albums to be certified platinum, while its featured track, "Take Five," became the best-selling jazz single of the twentieth century, surpassing one million copies. In addition to its commercial successes, the album is widely recognized as a pioneering endeavor into the use of odd meters in jazz. With its opening track "Blue Rondo la Turk" written in 9/8, its hit single "Take Five" in 5/4, and equally innovative uses of...

The Man From D.A.V.E.
A daring secret agent of the worldwide D.A.V.E. spy organization is sent on a perilous mission to save humanity from a weapon as futuristic as a space-based high-energy laser and as ancient as the burning ray of ancient weapon master Archimedes of Syracuse. The action begins in Germany, races across Europe from France to Switzerland, Austria and Italy, then booms across Eastern Europe and roars across the Balkans into Greece, from where it hurtles eastward to the Black Sea port of Odessa, and then rockets into orbit. Plus, this thriller even has its own sound track. So don't wait until the movie comes out. The Man From D.A.V.E. is a feature film in thriller novel form. You'll find this out when a bunched fist aimed at your jaw launches from your Kindle and you find yourself dodging bullets to get to the next paragraph alive.
