But together in the wilderness, they’ll each have to put aside their differences and trust one another if they want to survive. Because someone from Grace’s past is watching, waiting for just the right moment. Every step Grace takes draws her deeper into the line of fire, and into the hands of a killer…

A Little Boy's War by Roy Bartlett Book Feature!

Title: A Little Boy's War
Author: Roy Bartlett
Publisher: AuthorHouse
Pages: 190
Genre: Biography/Autobiography
Format: Kindle

 In this autobiographical reminiscence of the war years, Roy Bartlett relates the experiences of a young boy living in the West London suburb of Ealing, particularly during the sustained German Luftwaffe ‘Blitz’ on the capital in 1940 during which he sustained injury. Millions of people in London and other cities, children as well as adults, survived the horrors and rigours of the war.

Many accounts have been written, but few from the viewpoint of a child.

 Aged nine years at the outbreak of war his initial understanding of events was shaped by excitement, evacuation for a short period and what his mother could conjure up to eat from the meagre food rations.

 As Roy grew older, under ever-worsening conditions, his comprehensions of events broadened.

 This ensuing account of family life on the home front is a fascinating and absorbing blend of factual information and personal experience of the grim reality of those dark days, yet softened by subtle humour and boyish escapades that bring a smile to the reader.

 An person who lived through the period of history and the younger generations that follow, will find this narrative to be an informative and valuable historical account of a young lad’s life throughout that terrible time.

Now That the Dust Has Settled by Athanasio Dzadagu Book Blast!

Title: Now That the Dust Has Settled
Author: Anthanasio Dzadagu
Publisher: AuthorHouse
Pages: 372
Genre: Biography/Autobiography
Format: Kindle

 In this book, I try to explore why one section of the Catholic Community connected with the late Archbishop Chakaipa was overtaken by great remorse when he died, while another went into jubilation. This leads me into the examination of what kind of person Archbishop Chakaipa was. I do this in the context of his family background and his priestly and Episcopal ministries. He was of the Unendoro clan, with a history tracing back to Karanga roots. In his Seminary years, he wrote five Shona novels which became very influential in developing Shona literacy. He earned enduring respect across the entire Zimbabwean nation for this achievement. Within Church circles Archbishop Chakaipa’s name is synonymous with the policy of self-reliance, which was his signal achievement in the Archdiocese of Harare. He was determined to see the development of indigenous Zimbabwean writers, frustrated that the world of ideas in Zimbabwe was dominated by Eurogenic (of European origin) missionaries. In his view such Eurogenic intellectual domination undermined Zimbabwean and African independence. In the book, I argue that while Archbishop Chakaipa was a hero, indeed one deserving of canonisation as a Catholic saint, true respect for him should also acknowledge his negative qualities.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A book on Archbishop Chakaipa written by Athanasio Dzadagu should make interesting reading for three major reasons. First, the author knew Archbishop Chakaipa personally. At the age of five, he first encountered Archbishop Chakaipa when the latter was his parish priest. Interaction between Athanasio and Archbishop Chakaipa continued until the archbishop’s death in 2003. What adds to the book’s appeal is that Archbishop Chakaipa himself viewed Athanasio Dzadagu as the best person to write a book about him, as communicated courtesy of a Mai (Mrs) Muchada. Secondly, many people in the Archdiocese of Harare in Zimbabwe are keenly awaiting the appearance of the book, including those who have gone into Diaspora. Finally, the book provides an opportunity for indigenous Zimbabweans to express their own opinion of Archbishop Chakaipa, considering the fact that the written commentary after his death covered only Eurogenic opinion. Regardless of having recently left the priesthood, Athanasio Dzadagu is still highly respected among members of the Zimbabwean Catholic Community in England and Wales, which he founded in 2001. There are several among these who have, in the past, urged him to write books as a way of informing an even wider community of people.

Interview with Rebecca Marie, author of One Month Week Day Hour Minute Second

 

Title: One Month Week Day Hour Minute Second
Author: Rebecca Marie
Publisher: iUniverse
Pages: 113
Genre: Self Help/Personal Growth
Format: Ebook
Purchase at AMAZON 

 Abuse knows no boundaries. It doesn’t care if you are rich or poor, old or young. It can enter your life at any time and stay as long as you let it. In One Month Week Day Hour Minute Second, author Rebecca Marie discusses that the key is to release the secrets, talk about the abuse, and take the power away from the abusers.

In this memoir, she shares her personal journey surviving sexual and physical abuse, describing how abusive patterns started at a young age, how negative self-esteem continued to grow, and how it ended in her falling in love with a psychopath.

 One Month Week Day Hour Minute Second narrates how Marie was victimized and lived in daily fear and despair, but discusses how she chose not to remain a victim and took power over her own life. Hoping to break the cycle of domestic abuse one victim at a time, Marie tells her emotional story to call attention to the problem of domestic violence. Her story shows there is hope for others.    

 

Question1- If you could jump into any book and live there, what book would you

chose?

Answer: I would choose a book from mid-evil times.

Question 2- Describe your book in a tweet (140 characters or less)

Answer: Stop domestic violence. Abuse knows no boundaries it does not care if you are young or old, rich or poor. There is always hope and we all need to be advocates to put an end to domestic violence.

Question 3-What was the last book you bought, or what book do you look forward to

buying and reading?

Answer: I am looking forward to reading “Book Yourself Solid” by Michael Port.

Question 4-Can you tell us about the moment you decided you were going to write this particular book?

Answer: In 2000 I managed to finally leave a 10 year abusive marriage and as I was seeking out help from organizations I found that there was a lack of books specific to my situation at that time. I decided that I would write my memoir so that my book could be added to the list of resources available for woman that need to or had escaped abuse and domestic violence.

Question 5 – Does writing come naturally to you, or do you feel you have to work

harder to get the ideas to paper?

Answer: I feel like writing comes more naturally for me now that I have built my confidence from writing and publishing my own book. I will never take the process for granted, writing takes a great deal of effort.

Rebecca Marie enjoys being a mentor and her goal in sharing her story is to help others see there is hope.

It creates a visual image from personal accounts within the expressions of the writings. Poetically Baring My Soul invites all those who have an acceptance of faith, a honesty and even accountability of self, and a vivid appreciation of metaphors and wordplay, to embrace the poems inside.

  ORDER INFORMATION Poetically Baring My Soul is available for purchase at  

  I was born and raised in Danville, Il, a small town about 2 hours outside of Chicago. My parents, J.W. and Dizer Brown instilled values and principles of life in me at an early age. I enlisted into the Army 10 days after graduating high school and the discipline I received added to my upbringing, shaping me into the man I am today. My love for poetry began through hip hop. I had aspired to become the greatest rapper of all time! Alongside the music, I would write little poems about anything from my surroundings, to my feelings, to my experiences. Eventually, those "little poems" turned into pieces of my life. Poetically Baring My Soul is my very first book. It provides a testimony to the trials and tribulations I've faced, my growth into manhood, and expressions of my spirit, soul, and body. I wrote this book to honor God with this gift, glorify Him, and to connect with others who may share in my walk through life. I am a man of faith. I am confident that my poems will explain my purpose, provide insight, and give readers a honest look into my heart.
