The Story of Hollywood
Before the film industry arrived, Hollywood was filled with quaint bungalows, millionaires' estates, and churches dedicated to teetotalism. Movies shattered Hollywood's tranquillity, and brought wealth, fame and glamorous movie stars. The giants of the movie industry invented klieg-lighted movie premieres and the Academy Awards in Hollywood. Go beyond the star-studded surface to the district's days of union busting, gangsters, and scandal, foreshadowing Hollywood's seedy decline. The book concludes with Hollywood's redevelopment that continues today. The book features the famous faces and places that made the town legendary, offering a unique perspective on celebrity nightlife and the behind-the-scenes stories of day-to-day life. Lavishly illustrated with over 800 vintage images from the author's private collection, "The Story of Hollywood" brings new insights to readers with a passion for Hollywood and its place in the history of film, radio, and television.
Soul of the Dragon
A dark and stormy night, an atmosphere of fear and dread. Horror. The tales of nightmares and frightening realms of reality only a turn of the page away. The fiction of horror, a place our imaginations go so eagerly, filling our minds with alternative ways of thinking and feeling. Training for bigger truths to come? Soul of the Dragon, a story of innocence and evil, puts us inside a killer's skin as hostage witness to violent acts of murder. Revealing that this killer never acts alone. Beyond deaths door, the dragon waits for any opening into our world. Needing only a moment's hesitation at a point just past ones death, when a being is unwilling to let go of human bonds. The dragon's doorway into our world of the living. Only the innocent thoughts of a young boy can send it back. But not before its wrath is wrought.
The Process
The Process: from void to virtue is intended to bring healing, deliverance, and closure to all who pick up this book. Part one entails accounts from the author's life, a look into her personal journey (ups & downs, struggles to strength, trials to testimonies), and how she was brought to this point. Part two encompasses some of the revelations God showed her pertaining to prayer, being a virtuous woman, preparation, and the process that none of us can bypass. She suggests we all must be processed and go through a period of preparation (such as Queen Esther did in the bible), whether it be for a relationship or going into ministry, woman or man, younger or more mature. No matter where you fit, there is something in this book that will meet you where you are. Book Review for Back Cover: Tina Cortes exhibits a great sensitivity toward the voice of God and is evident in this wonderful book. This book will encourage, inspire, and convict you to know God more intimately. Readers will open the book and find themselves in the pages. You will never be the same! I'm Godly proud of you Tina!

Western
Setting out to tell the story of a mysterious cowboy--a stranger in town with a terrible secret--Christine Montalbetti is continually sidetracked by the details that occur to her along the way, her CinemaScope camera focusing not on the gunslinger's grim and determined eyes, but on the insects crawling in the dust by his boots. A collection of the moments usually discarded in order to tell even the simplest and most familiar story, "Western" presents us with the world behind the clich's, where the much-anticipated violence of the plot is continually, maddeningly delayed, and no moment is too insignificant not to be valued. Montalbetti's daring theft of movie technique and subversion of a genre where women are usually relegated to secondary roles--victims, prostitutes, widows, schoolmarms--makes Western a remarkable wake for the most basic of American mythologies.
Concerning Howard
It is not easy to be suddenly and unexpectedly faced with your own mortality when you are in the prime of your life. “Concerning Howard” is the story of one determined man, who after a heart attack and debilitating strokes, beat the “odds,” ninety-nine to one. He took a giant step beyond that, and returned to his place of employment in another job. The focus is on Howard’s hopes, ideals and struggle to cope with and find meaning and fulfillment in his life. “Concerning Howard” is narrated by his wife, the author, the observer, one who knows him well and shares his long difficult road from challenge to triumph. Throughout the book she asks numerous questions – some with possible answers—some she leaves to us all to answer. In the early chapters of his recovery, she introduces a novel twist and shares many personal notes of their lives. Later, she includes a glimpse of his travels and career when he taught English at Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey where East meets West.
