    Book SynopsisFather Thomas Abernathy brings together a wellborn Methodist minister, a dogmatic Lutheran pastor, and an enigmatic, evangelical preacher. Father Tom soon finds the Lutheran pastor Rev. Theo Swindberg assuming a preternatural place in his life. The man is nervous and doleful, and to learn what makes him tick, Father Tom attends a service at the Lutheran Church, where he falls under the spell of the pastor’s wife, Naomi. When Naomi is diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Swindberg calls upon Father Tom to pray over her healing, a request which could be a career-ending departure from Father Tom’s church’s tenets. Father Tom struggles with his feelings for Naomi, and when he reluctantly agrees to Swindberg’s request, he also finds himself struggling with his faith. In the end it is faith, hope, and love that renews them all.Trade Review"A captivating and intensely readable tale about men of faith finding friendship and renewal." Kirkus Reviews"St. Michael Poker and Drinking Club is a look into the lives of a handful of clergymen chosen by an unlikely hero, Father Thomas of St. Michael's. Randle skillfully pulls us into the psyche of these honorable, albeit flawed men. We slowly learn about what really makes these men tick, and perhaps understanding them better helps us understand, with greater clarity, our own motivations where right versus wrong and good versus bad. Ultimately, Randle unravels our inner fears about love, hope, and faith while masterfully weaving a tale regarding the complexities of each intricate and life altering concept." Kathryn Mattingly , award winning author of novels Benjamin, Journey, Olivia's Ghost, The Tutor, and short story anthology Fractured Hearts"I loved the touching scene in the opening paragraph and was pulled in. Seen through the caring eyes of Father Tom, the world of St. Michael Poker & Drinking Club is painstakingly detailed, precise -- enveloping. The many layers of each character are laid bare as though done by a skilled surgeon. Readers join these people at the card table and feel the heat of the story." Michael Loyd Gray , author of The Armageddon Two-Step, The Canary, and Exile on Kalamazoo Street"St. Michael Poker & Drinking Club is a contemplative and ultimately hopeful story exploring what happens when a lonely Catholic priest, desperate to avoid sinking into melancholy, gathers a group of clergymen to play cards. With unflinching honesty and touches of wry humor, Ned Randle deftly draws us close to heartsick Father Tom Abernathy as he and his new acquaintances learn more about each other. When illness strikes, they confront hard truths about themselves and their ordained place in the world." Heather Bell Adams , author of Maranatha Road"In philosophical, humanistic prose, this book explores the multifaceted, complex lives of men and women who devote themselves to faiths and tenets often at odds with the instincts of human nature. In his confessions of loneliness and needs, confusions and doubts, the book's main character, Father Tom, becomes an everyman to which all can relate, especially as he reaches a controversial resolution that puts him at odds with the very institution he has vowed to uphold. With its prayer-like portrayals of humanness, devotion, and subtle rebellion, this book is sure to become a quick favorite for those needing uplifting and affirmation in a cruel, confusing world. RECOMMENDED." US Review of Books

He’s funny, well-mannered, and completely dedicated to his family. Mark, on the other hand, finds it hard to tell Sadie the secrets of his past. He tells her pieces of the shadowy story, then won’t speak to her for weeks. Will Mark help her? Or is he one of the horse-hunters? Why, Sadie wonders desperately, are there so many secrets? Will the truth surface in this second book in Linda Byler's "Sadie's Montana" series, or is the truth too hard to bear?Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

    Book SynopsisThe Queen & the Spymaster tells the story of the unlikely champions of Ancient Persia and of a thousand-year vendetta that presages modern historical events in Iran and Afghanistan. Readers are transported to the exotic fortress city of Susa, the imperial palace, and the royal harem, where truth wears a mask. Rapoport meticulously describes a royal court populated by an intricate shadow-world of spies and informants—a sinister brotherhood with orders to draw a target on the king's back; rival cabinet ministers who command private armies; an orphaned girl with a gift for languages and an innate political intuition; a queen who, unbeknownst to all, is a secret agent; and the shrewd tactician who controls her.

  • Satan's Dare: A Novel

    Fidelis Publishing, LLC Satan's Dare: A Novel

    Book Synopsis"Satan’s Dare is different from any other Jim DeMint book, and it very well may be his most important." —Glenn Beck“Satan’s Dare is a powerful story that will confirm the faith of Christians and challenge skeptics to search for real truth." —Dr. M. G. "Pat" RobertsonThe Bible is often presented as an antiquated document filled with mysterious prophesies, unbelievable fables, and arbitrary decisions by a God whose actions range from anger and vengeance to love and forgiveness. The Bible's creation story appears to be at complete odds with more credible scientific explanations of the origins and evolution of life. And believers in Biblical truth are further challenged by haunting questions about why a good God would create a world so full of evil, pain, suffering and death. Satan's Dare takes these issues and questions head on.Trade Review"Christians are losing the cultural and political battles in America because we are not defending the basic truths of our faith. Satan's Dare is a powerful story that will confirm the faith of Christians and challenge skeptics to search for real truth." Dr. M. G. "Pat" Robertson, founder/chairman The Christian Broadcasting Network, Inc."There is more truth in this novel than just about any nonfiction book I've read. I recommend Satan's Dare to every person who wants to strengthen their faith in God and to every person who is searching for truth." Josh McDowell, Ministries" Satan's Dare is different from any other Jim DeMint book, and it very well may be his most important." Glenn Beck, Blaze Media"If you're a skeptic, Satan's Dare will help answer your questions. If you're a believer, it will help equip you for the days we're living in." Steve Berger, founding pastor, Grace Chapel, Franklin, TN"Jim DeMint is boldly challenging the theological world just as he did the political world. Satan's Dare answers questions most Christians are afraid to ask. Every individual should read this!" David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, award-winning historian, and best-selling author"In Satan's Dare , Jim DeMint crafts an all-too-familiar story in our culture these daysa misunderstanding of the sovereignty of God can diminish our love for and faith in Him when suffering eventually arrives." Steve Deace, The Blaze"As a United States Senator, Jim pushed his own party to adhere to authentic conservative principles. In Satan's Dare , he's implementing the same straight-forward approach when it comes to the things of God. Kudos!" David Brody, Christian Broadcasting Network"Christians are losing the political battle because we are not defending the principles of our faith. Satan's Dare is a powerful story, inspiring every Christian to stand up for Truth." LtCol Oliver L. North USMC (Ret), best-selling author of The Rifleman and host of the Real American Heroes series.

    Guernica Editions,Canada Telescope

    Book SynopsisTelescope is a story cycle about Lawrence Teitel, the protagonist of Living Room (Boheme Press, 2001). The collection deals with seeing distances: above all, the growing distancing of Lawrence's family as they cope with new challenges and Lawrence's own maturation, physical and spiritual. The cycle is made up of nine stories, each covering a different stage in Lawrence's development after his family has moved from their old neighbourhood in Montreal to a somewhat wealthier suburb, Ville St. Laurent.Trade Review"If The Simpsons were a novel (or closely connected stories) it would be called Telescope by Allan Weiss. Not because of raw comedy, but the fact that the world's history, its creativity, its politics and its humanity is brilliantly filtered through a typical family in an isolated suburb of a place called Montreal." -- Clark Blaise

    Book SynopsisIt’s the late 1980s, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Robert Cherney, a 30-year-old aspiring writer, has left New York City for a job teaching tennis in Munich. Aside from private lessons, he coaches the Maccabi Club men's league team, a motley group of neurotics whose eccentricities seem exacerbated by their situation as Jews living in Germany. They have made fortunes in postwar Germany but are hounded daily by the ghosts of the past and wracked with guilt over living so blithely among their parents’ tormentors. One of the players on Robert's team is his best friend in Munich, Max Altmann, a successful and wealthy young businessman who is also Robert’s employer, landlord, provocateur, and guide to Munich's nightlife. In addition to trying to figure out his life and not go crazy teaching tennis, Robert is trying to forget Lexa, the focus of years of erotic obsession back in New York. Helping him are Ingrid, a 40-ish Maccabi member and tennis pupil, and Veronique, a 25-year-old Jewish graduate student whom Max tries to set up with Robert. Love, tennis, sex, frustrated artistic ambition, and the dilemma of being a German Jew are all ingredients of this literary delight that is at turns serious and comedic.Trade Review"Fisher has gotten hold of some mighty themes: war and peace, love and death, sports and savagery. . . .

  • Wicked Weeds: A Zombie Novel

    Mandel Vilar Press Wicked Weeds: A Zombie Novel

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisSet at the contact zones between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, this is a polyphonic novel, an intense and sometimes funny pharmacopeia of love lost and humanity regained; a most original combination of Caribbean noir and science-fiction addressing issues of global relevance including novel takes on ecological/apocalyptical imbalance bound to make an impact. A Caribbean zombie--smart, gentlemanly, financially independent, and a top executive at an important pharmaceutical company--becomes obsessed with finding the formula that would reverse his condition and allow him to become "a real person." In the process, three of his closest collaborators (cerebral and calculating Isadore, wide-eyed and sentimental Mathilde, and rambunctious Patricia), guide the reluctant and baffled scientist through the unpredictable intersections of love, passion, empathy, and humanity. But the playful maze of jealousy and amorous intrigue that a living being would find easy to negotiate represents an insurmountable tangle of dangerous ambiguities for our "undead" protagonist. Wicked Weeds is put together from Isadore's scrapbook, where she has collected her boss' scientific goals and existential agony, as well as her own reflections about growing up as a Haitian descendant in the Dominican Republic and what it really means to be human. The end result is a precise combination of Caribbean noir and science-fiction, Latin American style. Wicked Weeds, A Zombie Novel combines Cabiya's expertise in fiction, graphic novels and film to create a memorable literary zombie novel of a dead man's search for his lost humanity that can now take its place alongside other leading similar novels like Jonathan Mayberry's Patient Zero, S.G. Browne's Breathers: A Zombie's Lament, Daryl Gregory's Raising Sony Mayhall, World War Z by Max Brooks, and The Reapers Are The Angels by Alden Bell. As for the novel's immersion in orality and Caribbean folk traditions and noir it can very well align with Wade Davis' The Serpent and the Rainbow and Karen Russell's St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves.Trade ReviewWicked Weeds named to top ten forthcoming books in science fiction, fantasy and horror by Publishers Weekly, in the Spring 2016 Announcements Isra Isle named as one of the 15 Works to Watch Out For in 2016, Rachel Cordasco, Speculative Fiction in Translation "[A] Caribbean zombie novel navigates the uncertain pathways of the human heart in this cerebral take on the undead. ...Isadore is one of three complicated women in our protagonist's life, one of a triptych that includes the passionate and visceral Patricia Caceres and the naive and open-hearted Mathilde Alverez. If you asked for a Caribbean version of Shakespeare's Weird Sisters, you'd get a portrait of these three characters... "[A] culturally resonant tale of zombie woe" Kirkus Reviews "Threats of a zombie apocalypse seem to be around every corner, but what's rare is an intelligent, thoughtful, funny, sentimental, socially conscious, and, yes, gross at times zombie tale infused with Caribbean culture, piques, prejudices, and passions. Pedro Cabiya delivers all of this and more in Wicked Weeds, one gentleman zombie's quest to recapture his lost qualia, that indefinable, internal, sensory perception of self...Whether you consider yourself a lover of zombie fantasies or not, devour Wicked Weeds for its unique perspective, cultural insights, and charged humor."

  • The Shattering II: Breaking the Silence

    Robert D. Reed Publishers The Shattering II: Breaking the Silence

    Book SynopsisThe Shattering II is a compelling true story (but written in novel form) of healing from childhood sexual abuse. It is a story of the power of love, the promise of hope, and the inspiration of knowing that we are not defined by our circumstances. Readers are held in suspense and will find their hearts forever touched by this inspiring story. Healing is a journey. If we can be brave enough to enter into the dark shadows of the unspeakable and pull back the shades, we not only reveal the light, but captives are set free. It is God's desire to take us from lost to found, from death to life, from victim to victor.As Barth's first book, THE SHATTERING I, this book is beautifully written. As Toni Stewart wrote on Amazon, She deftly explores the generational aspects of abuse in families and the inclination of adults in our society to turn a blind eye or "let it go." The true artistry of this story is how openly Marsha is able to explore the hearts and minds of each character making the reader truly care about each person involved, even Julie's tortured father, Ron.

  • The Inferno: A Novel

    Fidelis Publishing, LLC The Inferno: A Novel

    Book SynopsisThe United States was founded on the noblest ideals. Yet, we have descended into a pit of cultural nihilism, an intellectual war zone fighting over its own identity. How did we get here? The Inferno tackles this question by mixing Dante’ s Inferno and Tolkien’ s Lord of the Rings and follows the journey of Evan Esco, a suicidal teenager who thought killing himself would free him from the perils of modern life. Little did he know his suicide attempt would be the beginning of a journey to repentance, faith, and redemption. Join Evan as he speaks with various figures from American history and learns what it means to repent.
