Going Down Memory Lane
The year is 1998. Theresa receives a phone call from David, an old friend, which prompts a series of flashbacks to the summer of 1983. Theresa and her best friends, Beth and Donna, were twelve years old and seemed to have the adventures of a lifetime that summer. Between their troubled home-lives and encounters with the menacing Jordan brothers, the three friends lived through a summer they wouldn't soon forget. Now, as adults, they share in each other's experiences, still trying to overcome their traumatic childhood. As they drudge up their bad memories, the Jordan brothers return, ready to finish what they started when they were children. It's up to Theresa, Beth, and Donna to put an end to the brothers' reign of terror, while also battling their own inner demons.
Seanachie
This story is as told by the patriarch of the O’Kelleher clan, John O’Kelleher, to his two great-grand-children, Sean and ‘Little Bell’. He is the Seanachie, the ‘Story Teller’. His very long life bridged a part of two centuries. He was born in Ireland in 1783, and he died in America in 1880. This is the story of an Irish family’s struggle in Ireland, to survive on a day-to-day basis, while living under the oppressive ‘boot heel’ of a tyrannical foreign government. Their struggle was very much like living with a time bomb, when you never knew just when it might explode. Finally, one day it happened, the family was torn apart by a very violent event which changed its life forever. This is a story of persecution, murder, love, revenge, retribution, sorrow and the bitterness that had developed between two loving brothers. It is an adventure story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, during the mid-nineteenth century. It also attempts to explain my theory of how many Irish surnames were possibly changed after these illiterate immigrants arrived in America. I offer my readers two possible reasons for the changes.

GRAVE INTERVENTION
Dr. Amir Hadad, a successful radiologist, hears an intruder. Hiding in the dark, the stranger whispers, “I can’t rest.” Alarmed and unwilling to risk his family’s safety, Amir contacts the police. Only there is no trace of an intruder, no marks of forced entry. If there is a stalker afoot, the police cannot find him. As the days wear on and Amir continues to hear the same disembodied voice speaking to him, he worries about his sanity. The Irish lilt has escalated from pleas for help to threats unless Amir helps the voice find rest – and revenge. Inspired by true events set in Naperville, Illinois, Dr. Shira Shiloah takes readers through suspenseful twists and turns in her latest novel. GRAVE INTERVENTION, a paranormal medical suspense, blurs the lines between real and imaginary to expose the hidden side of a historical suburban town.
Pranked Straight
Ex-con ruins racist gang! He pranks the hell out of them. Comic, yet touching. (This is subtle literary fiction.) Members of an all-white prison gang threaten Patrick, a white ex-con who deals meth in San Diego and who likes all races. Patrick quits crime and befriends the police. Then he and a con artist legally prank and harass the racists. When a law-abiding Asian American woman informs Patrick that he got her pregnant, he immediately marries her. Asians now in his family, Patrick destroys the racist gang, pranking them with a vengeance, until they get hurt, go straight, or get arrested. Review: Watch out! Eric Hertz is a master of satire. Pranked Straight is a scathing lampoon, and Eric's wit is extra dry (so bitterly dry you might not notice it). But the story is rolling, fluid, and exciting. This is an interracial adventure. It's like George Orwell meets Joseph Wambaugh (with a dash of Harper Lee). But this story is written in a modern style, set in San Diego. I especially admire the endearing way Mr. Hertz portrays Mexican gangsters in this novel. Juan Neptune - Mexico City Literary Club
Screening Communities
Postwar Hong Kong cinema played an active role in building the colony’s community in the 1950s and 1960s. To Jing Jing Chang, the screening of movies in postwar Hong Kong was a process of showing the filmmakers’ visions for Hong Kong society and simultaneously an attempt to conceal their anxieties and mask their political agenda. It was a time when the city was a site of intense ideological struggles among the colonial government, Chinese Nationalists, and Communist sympathizers. The medium of film was recognized as a powerful tool for public persuasion and various camps competed to win over the hearts and minds of the audience. Screening Communities thus situates the history of postwar ...
