The Ancestor
The village of Taski, in northern Russia, was home to peace loving families who lived a quiet, simple life uninterrupted by strife or outsiders. When the warriors of Batu Kahn, sitting astride wooden saddles on fast moving ponies rode in, peace was forever shattered. Many of the townspeople were captured and taken prisoner. But the lumberman, Shol, and his followers escaped into the cold mountains to the north, living in caves before seeking a warmer climate near the sea. Later, Shol returned to Taski and made a daring raid into the Mongol camp taking his wife, Kitula to their new home. The Golden Horde followed and the skirmish that ensued left all of Batu's warriors and many villagers, including Shol, lying dead among the ashes of their new homes. Shan leads the survivors into a new land seeking the peace and serenity they held sacred in their fatherland. Trying desperately to hold onto their simple values, babies were born along the way bringing joy and hope and permitting them to retain their desires for a peaceful life somewhere in their new environment. Follow these nomads in their expansive journey through the harsh elements, facing many trials, seeking peace in America.
Into America with Love
Out of the depression that darkened Germany in the late 1800s came a group of brave women who dedicated their lives to a new order in the Catholic Church: the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother. In the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, Frances Streitel knows her work will center on the poorest of the poor. But Frances doesn't realize that she and her followers will travel across continents, narrowly avoiding grave dangers, to start hospitals and schools in the wilds of the American frontier and elsewhere. It is difficult for the nuns to earn the trust of local families and endure the elements and insecurities of their new home in America. Later, as their story moves from the 1880s to the start of a world war, they are deeply affected by what occurs in Germany, where their order is headquartered and where many Catholics and Jews alike are banished. A sweeping portrayal of loyalty and sacrifice, Into America with Love captures the anxiety and hope of a handful of women who dared to look past hardships and build a bright future.
Unlike Any Land You Know
Along with General Claire Chennault's "Flying Tigers," the men and planes of the 490th Bomb Squadron became famous as the "Burma Bridge Busters." From late 1942 to the end of the war, their incredible feats of low-level bombing and strafing of Japanese-held bridges, airfields, and troop facilities in occupied Burma hindered the Japanese advance in Asia, and provided critical air support for the allies fighting on the ground. The author's uncle, a radioman/waist gunner in the 490th, was killed on a mission in the waning days of the war. This book is both a search for his memory, and a tribute to the squadron in which he proudly served and sacrificed his life—the "Burma Bridge Busters." The author was born and raised in Chicago. In addition to writing and traveling, he is an avid fisherman, hunter, and scuba diver. He has published Seasons of Harvest, a three-volume historical novel, and is at work on a second novel titled Cumberland Road. This book is his first nonfiction work.

The Lucketts
Seldom in the history of man has there been a time when individual freedom and aspirations led to the formation of a great nation, as that which took place in 19th century America. This is the Luckett's story in that great century of expansion. It is a story of stubborn pioneer spirit and creativity, war and peace, hate and greed, suffering and happiness. But most of all, the Lucketts show us how our ancestors lived, prospered, and died. Thereby, creating the basis for us to understand and protect what we have been given and vanquish those who would take it away.
