An Incomplete List of Names
An astonishing debut collection looking back on a community of Mexican American boys as they grapple with assimilation versus the impulse to create a world of their own. Who do we belong to? This is the question Michael Torres ponders as he explores the roles that names, hometown, language, and others’ perceptions each play on our understanding of ourselves in An Incomplete List of Names. More than a boyhood ballad or a coming-of-age story, this collection illuminates the artist’s struggle to make sense of the disparate identities others have forced upon him. His description of his childhood is both idyllic and nightmarish, sometimes veering between the two extremes, sometimes a surreal ...
Destiny
Destiny By: Michael Torres Destiny is a riveting tale about the life of Michael Angel Torres Sr. who, by the grace of God, has survived numerous life-threatening situations that enabled him to tell the world about them. As a soldier (medic) in the U.S. Army, Michael braved the land of Vietnam without so much as a firearm, solely trusting in the Lord for protection. If you believe cats have nine lives, then so far he has had triple that amount. And if you trust in the Lord Almighty, He will never let you down.

Guardian of the Sea
Jizo, one of the most beloved Buddhist deities in Japan, is known primarily as the guardian of children and travelers. In coastal areas, fishermen and swimmers also look to him for protection. Soon after their arrival in the late 1800s, issei (first-generation Japanese) shoreline fishermen began casting for ulua on Hawai‘i’s treacherous sea cliffs, where they risked being swept off the rocky ledges. In response to numerous drownings, Jizo statues were erected near dangerous fishing and swimming sites, including popular Bamboo Ridge, near the Blowhole in Hawai‘i Kai; Kawaihapai Bay in Mokule‘ia; and Kawailoa Beach in Hale‘iwa. Guardian of the Sea tells the story of a compassionate g...

Deadmen's Bells
Marina Velarde is long disheartened by the violence consuming her southwestern community but is driven to action when her brother, Rudolfo, and three other men are brutally executed in the barrio of Los Volcanes. After he charges a powerful Mexican drug lord with the murders, local district attorney Calvin Dusan immediately manipulates the media to support a quick trial. But Marina believes the wrong man has been charged, and when Judge Margaret Morrigan is assigned the case, she agrees that the evidence is questionable. Judge Morrigan knows the truth won't be revealed unless she can fight Dusan's determination to maneuver a premature conviction. Both Margaret and Marina soon face radical changes in their lives. Margaret endures threats on her life and her reputation and becomes a virtual prisoner in her own home. Marina evolves from timid onlooker to confident combatant as she fights to uncover all she can about her brother and his death. But both women realize there can be no end to their turmoil until they finally resolve the horrible murders that have overshadowed their world.
