Gina Iafrate writes sweeping family sagas that allow readers to escape to faraway places through engaging storylines and richly detailed narratives. This romantic fiction novel was a winner of the Book of Excellence Award.

Award winning author Gina Iafrate has announced that the ebook version of her award-winning novel, The English Professor, will be available at no charge August 18 and 19, 2026 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Gina-Iafrate/author/B00MRZ8Y9A.

In this book, Andrew Robertson, an introverted, middle-aged professor leaves his unremarkable London life to embark on a journey to Sicily where strangers welcome him kindly. In this sensuous Mediterranean setting, he develops a burning infatuation for another man’s wife. Falling into each other’s arms, Andrew and Francesca both satisfy and heighten the emotional and physical longing they have felt all their adult lives. Their union results in a child. But Andrew must go back to London and Francesca must protect herself, Andrew and their child from the violent reach of her husband.

The Professor's Daughter is the sequel to The English Professor. Set in Italy, this romantic fiction novel allows readers to immerse themselves in the life of Gracy and her adventures in love and the trials and tribulations she faces.

In The Professor's Daughter, Gracy Robertson is the love child of an intense love affair.

At birth she was taken from her dying mother and left in the care of the devastated Professor, her dad. Living in hiding for years, they managed to avoid the long reach of the corrupt mobsters who had taken her mother’s life.

Once the threat was gone, they believed that peace could return to their lives at the place where the professor’s passion and love for her mother had resulted in Gracy’s conception.

Once there, just as a peaceful life and a sense of normalcy seem long lasting, the professor’s life journey comes to an end. Gracy, grief stricken by the loss of her dad’s love and his devotion, is challenged to overcome the heartache and the fogginess of her empty world.

Her destiny once more takes her across the ocean where she finds love and affection. However, fate is not done with her, and it strikes with both people and difficult situations that threaten her peace of mind, her heart, and her life. These threats and dangers are appeased only when her heart finds its home in her denied lover’s devotion.

Love and Betrayal is the third in the series.

Gracy thought she had found her true eternal love. This manifested deep in her faithful heart.

Unfortunately, later in her married life, this happiness turned disenchanting. Alvaro’s promises of his vows, for better or for worse, in happiness and sorrow, until death do us part, had all changed. Fate delivered his unfaithfulness with pain and suffering. His behaviour brought catastrophic consequences along the way, influenced by someone else’s greed, jealousy, and revenge. Gracy’s emotional journey of survival turned challenging.

Later in life, in solitude and despair. the universal bliss tested her with waves of courage. With the intervention of caring people, she finally found, once more, love, peace, and support. Her heart finally rejoiced in comfort once more until her terrestrial journey came to an end.

Gina Iafrate writes sweeping family sagas that allow readers to travel the globe without leaving home. Like fine pieces of music, her books are layered, providing readers with intricately formed mental images, punctuated by dramatic movements. In the tradition of writers like Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham, Gina's extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters. Nearly all of her story lines involve rich and tactile descriptions of exotic places, placing the reader in the very midst of those locales.

Other books in Gina Iafrate's Strong Women series features a number of romantic fiction novels that feature characters who have managed to overcome staggering odds and yet emerge from overwhelming circumstances to build lives that can serve as models for women everywhere. Books in the Strong Women series also include:

The Girl From The Cornfield

It is 1950 and Giuliana Ferrante is growing up in a sleepy town deep in the Italian mountains.

In this coming-of-age saga, her young life is rocked to its core by a vicious attack that shatters the peaceful existence that she and many around her have always taken for granted.

Giuliana, determined to make a future for herself, flourishes by working tirelessly toward her education, securing a legal degree and ultimately a successful position in the business world.

She conquers all with kindness and love, managing to rise above the painful memories of her youth.

This sweeping, inspirational tale hurtles across time, countries, and characters as it explores how love can heal, reconcile, and restore.

Bestowed By Love And Splendour:

A breath-taking story of a broken-hearted wife and mother who unexpectedly finds the universal bliss takes her away from a tormented life, far across the ocean. On the exotic island of Sardinia, she becomes hypnotized by nature's beauty; the cloudless sky, the emerald-blue hues of the sea and the gentleness of the people.

But fate strikes once more. Destiny takes over and transports her to a world beyond her imagination . . . allowing her to find peace, love, and splendour.

Iafrate is also the author of Releases From My Soul, a new collection of anthologies, crafted through a distinctive and intriguing combination of true stories, adventures and experiences from her life.

Gina gifts us with poems drawn from the depth of her soul. Some of the factual novellas were drawn directly from the author’s interesting life experiences, events and travel. Others were drawn purely from imagination.

She is currently working on her seventh novel, The Shoeless Boy.

Bestselling Thriller Novel, Massage World, By Author Eric Madeen, Will Be Available In Ebook Form At No Charge March 28, 2026

Madeen is a recently retired professor of modern literature at Tokyo City University and an adjunct professor at Keio University. He writes cross-genre and has penned a number of Amazon bestsellers.

Bestselling author Eric Madeen recently announced that his latest thriller novel, 'Massage World', will be available at no charge in ebook form March 28, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?.

In describing the novel, Madeen stated:

Whose world is it anyway? To find out peek under the drape - and see the body in pain.

As to why crack the multicultural thriller 'Massage World' and dive deep into both sides of the massage industry, and marvel at the simultaneous unravelling of both. From the get-go you'll witness the force of that ambiguity, repelling as it is with jumper-cable sparks as in conflict galore, exceeding reader expectation and thus creating narrative drive, a kind of drive that at one point is literally hell on wheels of a massage table.

One onto which a dirty vice detective is lashed and bumped down each stair one thud at a time of the luxurious mansion housing Massage World. The mayhem throughout brings chuckles and laughs at the hilarity from SoCal, Japan and back.

As the global demand for massage therapy skyrockets, from luxurious spas to discreet outcalls with the latter evident in the media cycle, one ambitious therapist, Ingrid Swanson, dares to open Massage World, defying the local underworld kingpin.

Enter Jack Cobb, a ruthless massage parlor lord determined to seize control of Ingrid's business through a series of illicit "massage wars," aided by said vice-cop soliciting "extras" while Cobb’s sister on the “inside” flashes donut rolls of dead presidents to entice therapists over to the wild side. The chaos escalates as a media frenzy erupts on the hard-soled heels and handcuffs of a dramatic police raid, sparking neighborhood protests and the crackle and cackle of so much more, the raid itself a delirious curtain call of sorts as in each character hitherto mentioned is present but only one side bows the other out handcuffed into the cameras and newscaster announcing: "You get more than just a massage at the new 5* health spa Massage World."

Curiously, a fearless female biker gang figures in the ending, riding their rice rocket Yamahas and Hondas up the grandiose stairs of Massage World, then roaring up a floor and still another, then the thrust downstairs and onto the mean streets laid with burning rubber and wild-arced wheelies in the hellacious chase of Jack Cobb. Where he roars into is for you to savor.

Your being smitten with this Dionysian nightmare, clashing as it does with those on both sides of the tracks, be they crystally (holistic) or oily in a read you'll find zesty and informative as in what goes down or doesn't in the sliding signifier of Massage World, draped - or the heck with the drape.

'Massage World' has received rave reviews from readers:

“It combines gritty realism, lurid sensationalism, and darker-than-black comedy to conjure up a phantasmagoric vision of a world in pain … So earthquaking powerful and fresh it is, I've never read anything quite like it, not even close.” — Larry McCaffery, author notably of Some Other Frequency: Interviews with Innovative American Authors and former Professor of English and Comparative Literature at SDSU.

“It’s a sizzler of a thriller bursting with eccentric energy.” — William Luvaas, winner of a Huffington Post Book of the Year award.

“Very cinematic with a canny and calculated construction. A really high-octane potboiler. Motion and emotion. Exotica and erotica circling from SoCal to Japan and back to SoCal. Conflict galore. Kinkiness with and without aromatic oils. Who could ask for more?” — Harold Jaffe, Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing and Literature at San Diego State University and former Editor of Fiction International.

The ebook version of ‘Massage World’ will be available March 28, 2026 at no charge at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?

Other books by Madeen include:

Eric Madeen's bestselling travelogue, ‘Asian Trail Mix: True Tales from Borneo to Japan,’ scales down the sprawl of Asia by focusing on the unique and revelatory in gemmy prose. See up close and personal the razzmatazz of novice monks at play in northern Laos, the bonding with hustling pedicab drivers in Ho Chi Minh City, the rainforests blazed on gutsy treks across Borneo and Thailand's Elephant Island and novel things Japanese. Served up nice and spicy, Asian Trail Mix is slathered across 12 rocking-it essays plus a tall tale at its glorious ending, making for a baker's dozen of sumptuousness.

In a review for 'Asian Trail Mix', one reader said, "The writing is lush and emotive. It contains images and turns of phrase that will stay with you." Another said, "'Mr. Madeen has a knack for taking one into the depths of a country and introducing the reader to fascinating customs and interesting characters. Five stars!"

Another stated, "The author has a discerning eye for subjects of local interest at each of the intervening destinations, and truly commendable is how he’s able to draw out characters, getting their riveting stories while sketching remarkable details on the Asian trail. Eric Madeen, an American based in Japan, is clearly fueled with high-energy. It’s a rush to keep up with him, both on and off trail, either way transcribed in a voice that’s more than a language function but the sum totality of this writer’s experiences and means of expression. Madeen has been there and proof is in his prose.”

'Water Drumming In The Soul' - a fiery tale set in steamy equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields, is on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a village where spells are cast on enemies and fear of a witch doctor reigns. David seldom has his bearings – cultural or geographical – and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies as well as social taboos as he throws himself into work. Until... he meets Assam. Captivated by her water drumming, her playing the stream as a drum, David is drawn to her early on and becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is - with a tension or excitement between them that never dissipates, until the haunting end.

‘Tokyo-ing!’ - This is an apt word for this trio of tales chiming with anyone even slightly interested in Asia’s or rather the world’s most dynamic megalopolis and its glazing of layers – be they cultural or taking-wing exuberant. Madeen does deep dives in three fascinating directions and voices, including the persona in first-person female. Then doesn’t let readers come up for air because they don’t want to - until the delicious end.

‘Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rubbity-Dub Dubbed’ - In historically rich Yokohama, where Captain Perry and his Black Ships cracked open Japan, the wicked shiver of the tennis snub in the postmodern present pits David Adams against K: a puffed-up xenophobic tyrant who rules over the courts of a club that has as its anthem, ironically, the promotion of international friendship. Between pops of new cans of tennis balls, Madeen has interwoven chapters seemingly lived as a prof, but herein a delirious fun-house look at Japanese university life. The whole wonderous unwrapping of a kimono’s obi likened by Peter Goodman, publisher of Stone Bridge Press, to a position paper on Japan.

Eric Madeen is available for media interviews and can be reached at ericsan@gol.com. All of his books are available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?. More information is available at his website at https://ericmadeen.com/.

About Eric Madeen:

Eric Madeen is a recently retired associate professor of modern literature at Tokyo City University and an adjunct professor at Keio University. He's an award-winning author of six books. His writing has been published widely -- in Time, Asia Week, The East, Daily Yomiuri, Tokyo Journal, Kyoto Journal, Metropolis, Mississippi Review, ANA's inflight magazine Wingspan with its 350,000 some monthly readers, Peace Corps Worldwide, East Of The Web, Japanophile, Yomimono, The Pretentious Idea, Tombstone Epitaph, several anthologies, academic journals, therein his seminal essay "Under Western and Eastern Eyes" jointly published by the Ministry of Education of the Western Federation, Russia, and the Joseph Conrad Foundation, USA, and so on.

Madeen has been featured in several radio interviews and podcasts, notably Fascinating People, Fascinating Places, about the late Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer and his creation of a durable hospital in Lambarene, Gabon. Madeen’s investigative feature of the polymath Schweitzer and his enduring hospital won him a Profile in Citizenship from Peace Corps Worldwide. Madeen once made his living copywriting for what was then the world's largest ad agency Dentsu, for clients as diverse as Mazda, Subaru, Canon, Konica, Nikko Hotels International and Sony.

Just out of the University of Arizona which made him as a penman, Madeen served for 2.3 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Francophone Gabon, Africa, where he built a primary school complex in an equatorial village surrounded by rainforest, a mind-blowing experience which inspired his first novel, Water Drumming in the Soul, shelfed not only in the Permanent Collection of Books by Peace Corps Writers in the Library of Congress but many readers’ hearts.

Readers will see up close and personal the razzmatazz of novice monks at play in northern Laos, the bonding with hustling pedicab drivers in Ho Chi Minh City, the rainforests blazed on gutsy treks across Borneo and Thailand's Elephant Island and novel things Japanese. Served up nice and spicy, Asian Trail Mix is slathered across 12 rocking-it essays plus a tall tale at its glorious ending, making for a baker's dozen of sumptuousness.

In a review for 'Asian Trail Mix', one reader said, "The writing is lush and emotive. It contains images and turns of phrase that will stay with you." Another said, "'Professor Madeen has a knack for taking one into depths of not only things Japanese but also several -- ever burgeoning in popularity — Southeast Asian countries while introducing fascinating customs and unique, fleshed out characters. Five stars!"

Another stated, "The author focuses on subjects of local interest at each of the intervening destinations and equally captivating is how he bravely gets there. An American based in Japan, he has a writer’s eye for detail and is quite adept at capturing local sights, sounds, smells, and the feel of rain falling in sheets and vibrant characters in all their rounded forms. Throughout he proves to convey, up close and personal, impressions as an experienced traveler with a literary background and sensibility."

Eric Madeen writes cross-genre but terms himself as unclassifiable. He is the author of several books:

'Water Drumming In The Soul' - a fiery tale set in steamy equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields is on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a village where spells are cast on enemies and fear of a witch doctor reign. David seldom has his bearings – cultural or geographical – and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies as well as social taboos as he throws himself into work. Until... he meets Assam. Captivated by her water drumming, her playing the stream as a drum, David is drawn to her early on and becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is - with a tension or excitement between them that never dissipates, … until the haunting end. Notable is that this novel is shelved in the Permanent Collection of Books by Peace Corps Writers in The Library of Congress … and readers’ souls.

‘Tokyo-ing!’ - This is an apt Madeen neologism for this trio of tales chiming with anyone even slightly interested in Asia’s or rather many would say the world's most dynamic megalopolis and its glazing of layers – be they cultural or taking-wing exuberant. Madeen does deep dives in three fascinating directions and voices, including the persona in first-person female. Then doesn’t let readers come up for air because they don’t want to -- until the delicious end.

‘Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rubbity-Dub Dubbed’ - In historically rich Yokohama, where Captain Perry and his Black Ships cracked open Japan, the wicked shiver of the tennis snub in the postmodern present pits David Adams against K: a puffed-up xenophobic tyrant who rules over the courts of a club that has as its anthem, ironically, the promotion of international friendship. Witty and transformative on and off court with the latter having Madeen, as 30+ year permanent resident, peering deeply and hilariously into the depths of Japanese university, where he was fortunate to spend the lion's share of his tenured career while literarily transcribing it in a back-and-forth volleying in his third novel Tennis Clubbed.

Christmas Gifts For Baja Lovers: Special Collector's Edition, A Finger Of Land On An Old Man's Hand, By Bestselling Author Earl Vincent de Berge

'A Finger of Land' by Earl Vincent de Berge is not just a well-written memoir; it is also a masterful retelling of a journey that reveals the intensity of self-discovery and the intricate tapestry of human connection with nature and spirituality.

People from all over the world travel to the Baja Peninsula to enjoy the stunning scenery and cultural richness of the area. A unique and fascinating destination, the peninsula is replete with breathtaking views featuring mountains, deserts, and beautiful coastlines. Baja is rich in biodiversity, including sea lions, whales, dolphins, numerous land animal and bird species, and an amazing array of plants -- a paradise for nature enthusiasts. The peninsula also offers visitors ample opportunities for outdoor activities.

Baja also harbors a captivating essence that for many remains largely undiscovered. But to those who take the time to delve deeply into its heart, truly embracing the soul of this remarkable land, it reveals a vibrant mosaic of culture, beauty, and authenticity -- the enchanting quintessence of Baja. Bestselling author Earl Vincent de Berge reveals that spirit in 'A Finger Of Land On An Old Man's Hand, Adventures In Mexico's Baja Wilderness'.

De Berge’s book is a compelling coming of age story, intimately detailing his life-changing adventure through the Baja wilderness with three friends in the 1960's. An exploration of growth, identity, and self-awareness, it is both inspirational and transformative -- a masterful blend of daring adventure, introspection, and cultural discovery.

A Finger of Land on an Old Man’s Hand' is more than just another adventure story; it’s a meditation on resilience, friendship, and the inescapable power of self-discovery. Each challenge, physical or emotional, becomes a steppingstone in the explorers’ evolution, perhaps reminding readers of their own capacity for growth. It offers a compelling testament to the human spirit's capacity for transformation.

Lovers of the Baja region will find much to explore, as the Baja Peninsula serves as both a backdrop and a mirror. Readers are immersed with the four young explorers in a transformative journey through Baja California in 1962, inspired by 'The Forgotten Peninsula' by Joseph Wood Krutch.

The book would make a signature gift for Baja enthusiasts and collectors.

‘A Finger of Land’ records Baja’s formidable challenge to men and equipment within its mountainous, sometimes lush, sometimes barren, desert environments; spectacular geology and complex ecologies bracketed by oceans. The four travelers enjoyed encounters with wild animals; found bountiful places to hunt and fish; met frontier families of the kindest sort; weathered Pacific storms and witnessed love in a frontier village; met gold prospectors, hermits and one-of-a-kind characters.

They also experienced dramatic incidents of both potential and very real danger – some due to the untamed environment, others thanks to thoughtless visitors or to shadowy villains.

Plant photography was among the author’s interests, only partially stymied by wind-blown sand fouling his camera lens. Photography enthusiasts will be thrilled to know the book offers a treasure trove of previously unreleased photographs of the area.

One reviewer called the book, ". . . a beautifully written, fabulous tale of an incredibly brave and daring journey." In their 5-star review, ReaderViews said, "A Finger of Land on an Old Man’s Hand by Earl Vincent de Berge is the stark, witty, and profound memoir of four college students testing their limits on the Baja Peninsula in the summer of 1962. One could think of this as the classic literary assignment, 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation.' Only to do so would be to grossly underestimate this narrative."

'A Finger Of Land On An Old Man's Hand, Adventures In Mexico's Baja Wilderness' is now available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Earl-Vincent-de-Berge/author/B09R6M1G4Y? in both paperback and e-book format.

All of de Berge's books are available at Amazon and other online book retailers. More information, including an excerpt from the “Baja book” and a pdf of selected photos with insider details revealing Baja in the 1960s is available on his website, https://www.earldeberge.com.

Books For The Holidays: No Charge Download Of Ebook Version Of Massage World By Bestselling Author Eric Madeen, Available at Amazon December 13 And 14, 2025

Madeen is a recently retired professor of modern literature at Tokyo City University and an adjunct professor at Keio University. He writes cross-genre and has penned a number of Amazon bestsellers.

Bestselling author Eric Madeen has announced his latest novel, 'Massage World', will be available at no charge in ebook form at no charge December 13 and 14 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?, just in time for the Holiday season.

Books are the ideal Holiday present as they can offer both escape and enrichment, providing readers with a chance to explore new worlds, ideas, and perspectives. They can convey deep emotions, inspire creativity, and spark meaningful conversations - a gift tailored to individual tastes. The act of gifting a book shows care and consideration, allowing the giver to share a cherished story or a valuable lesson that can resonate with the recipient for years to come.

'Massage World' is a multicultural thriller that dives deep into both sides of the massage industry, and throughout you'll marvel at the unravelling of both sides. From the get-go you'll be struck with the force of that ambiguity, each side repelling each other like magnets thus making for a read with conflict galore, exceeding reader expectation and thus creating narrative drive ..., a kind of drive that's hell on massage tables’ wheels throughout and at times laugh out loud hilarious.

As the global demand for massage therapy skyrockets, from luxurious spas to discreet outcalls, one ambitious therapist, Ingrid Swanson, dares to open Massage World, a grand health spa, defying the local underworld kingpin.

Enter Jack Cobb, a ruthless massage parlor lord determined to seize control of Ingrid's business through a series of illicit "massage wars," aided by a crooked undercover vice cop soliciting "extras." The chaos escalates as a media frenzy erupts following a dramatic police raid, sparking neighborhood protests and the crackle of soooo much more.

A fearless female biker gang figures in the ending, riding their rice rocket Yamahas and Hondas up the grandiose stairs of Massage World then roaring up another floor ... then the hellacious chase and ...

Your being smitten with this Dionysian nightmare, clashing as it does with those on both sides of the tracks, be they crystally (holistic) or oily in a read you'll find zesty and informative as in what goes down or doesn't in the sliding signifier of Massage World, draped ... or the heck with the drape.

'Massage World' has received rave reviews from readers:

“It combines gritty realism, lurid sensationalism, and darker-than-black comedy to conjure up a phantasmagoric vision of a world in pain … So earthquaking powerful and fresh it is, I've never read anything quite like it, not even close.” — Larry McCaffery, author notably of Some Other Frequency: Interviews with Innovative American Authors and former Professor of English and Comparative Literature at SDSU.

“It’s a sizzler of a thriller bursting with eccentric energy.” — William Luvaas, winner of a Huffington Post Book of the Year award.

“Very cinematic with a canny and calculated construction. A really high-octane potboiler. Motion and emotion. Exotica and erotica from SoCal to Japan and back. Conflict galore. Kinkiness with and without aromatic oils. Who could ask for more?” — Harold Jaffe, Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing and Literature at San Diego State University and former Editor of Fiction International.

The ebook version of ‘Massage World’ will be available December 13 and 14 at no charge at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?

Other books:

Eric Madeen's bestselling travelogue, ‘Asian Trail Mix: True Tales from Borneo to Japan,’ scales down the sprawl of Asia by focusing on the unique and revelatory in gemmy prose. See up close and personal the razzmatazz of novice monks at play in northern Laos, the bonding with hustling pedicab drivers in Ho Chi Minh City, the rainforests blazed on gutsy treks across Borneo and Thailand's Elephant Island and novel things Japanese. Served up nice and spicy, Asian Trail Mix is slathered across 12 rocking-it essays plus a tall tale at its glorious ending, making for a baker's dozen of sumptuousness.

In a review for 'Asian Trail Mix', one reader said, "The writing is lush and emotive. It contains images and turns of phrase that will stay with you." Another said, "'Mr. Madeen has a knack for taking one into the depths of a country and introducing the reader to fascinating customs and interesting characters. Five stars!"

Another stated, "The author focuses on subjects of local interest at each of the intervening destinations, or vignettes. An American based in Japan, he has a writer’s eye for details and is quite adept at capturing the local sights, sounds, weather, atmosphere, and such of each place as well as conveying his personal impressions as an experienced traveler with a literary background and sensibility."

'Water Drumming In The Soul' - a fiery tale set in steamy equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields is on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a village where spells are cast on enemies and fear of a geek-shaman reigns. David seldom has his bearings – cultural or geographical – and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies as well as social taboos as he throws himself into work. Until... he meets Assam. Captivated by her water drumming, her playing the stream as a drum, David is drawn to her early on and becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is - with a tension or excitement between them that never dissipates, … until the haunting end.

‘Tokyo-ing!’ – is an apt neologism for this trio of tales chiming through the world’s largest megalopolis. Only a multi-decade literary miner with the seal permanent resident wrapped on his pick axe could tunnel down the shaft leading to literary lucre, allowing readers to emerge enriched from the depths of Tokyo-ing! Put another way, Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim flees shame from Jim, as first mate, jumping ship packed with passengers left behind on a ship that doesn’t sink, thus even a sideways glance of suspicion cast his way has him on a continuous run from shame that cannot be outrun. Like wildfire in that regard but in reverse. Since wildfire cannot be outrun, Madeen does what he has to do and he does it boldly and literarily, as in running directly into the flames and through them, as rendered upfront in his story “About Face.” Range is further realized in “Sobering Love,” told in the persona of first-person female, and finally “Fire Horse” gallops into the fiery galaxies of 2026, a Fire Horse year, one in 60 in the Chinese lunar calendar, when births plummeted so as to avoid having a Fire Horse girl. Curious. Fascinating. The author’s wife is a Fire Horse.

‘Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rubbity-Dub Dubbed’ - In historically rich Yokohama, where Captain Perry and his Black Ships cracked open Japan, the wicked shiver of the tennis snub in the postmodern present pits David Adams against K: a puffed-up xenophobic tyrant who rules over the courts of a club that has as its anthem, ironically, the promotion of international friendship.

Bestselling Literary Fiction Ebook, Water Drumming In The Soul By Eric Madeen, Will Be Available At No Charge September 8 and 9, 2025

‘Water Drumming In The Soul’ has been called a "modern-day classic" that redefines traditional narratives.

Eric Madeen's bestselling literary fiction ebook,'Water Drumming In The Soul' will be available at no charge in e-book format September 8 through September 9, 2025 on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?.

Eric Madeen is an award-winning, bestselling author of six books. His writings have landed in executive suites of publications, from senior to junior worldwide. This bestselling novel, inspired by his travels in Africa, masterfully blends cultural immersion, personal growth, and a passionate love story, making it a compelling read from start to finish.

In steamy equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields is on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a village where spells are cast on enemies and fear of a geek-shaman reigns. David seldom has his bearings – cultural or geographical – and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies as well as social taboos as he throws himself into work. Until... he meets Assam. Captivated by her water drumming, her playing the stream as a drum, David is drawn to her early on and becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is - with a tension or excitement between them that never dissipates, … until the haunting end.

Like wunderkind best-seller Paul Theroux, Eric Madeen will always think of himself as a Peace Corps volunteer, one who, just after graduating from the University of Arizona, constructed in Francophone Gabon, Africa a primary school complex in an equatorial village surrounded by rainforest … where he got lost for three days while hunting monkeys for the cooking pot … and where notably he fell in love, giving his first novel, 'Water Drumming in the Soul' a vigorous fictional reality.

Readers and reviewers have expressed high praise for 'Water Drumming In The Soul'. Zaheer Baber; Professor of Sociology; University of Toronto, said, "Madeen's storytelling prowess shines through and resonates with authenticity. The characters, particularly Assam, are beautifully developed, challenging traditional stereotypes as in presenting a more nuanced and genuine portrayal of African culture.”

One Amazon reviewer said, "Water Drumming in the Soul not only tells a passionate love story, but it also delves into thought-provoking themes like culture, identity, and the power of human connection. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that'll have you laughing, crying, and everything in between. This isn't your typical love story! This novel is well-written and full of unexpected twists that keep you flipping those pages. Plus, the characters are so well-developed that you'll feel like you've known them forever. So, if you're ready for a wild and adventurous ride, grab a copy of this modern-day classic ASAP!"

Elizabeth Montano, author of The Eternal Dawn Trilogy, called it " a novel so beautifully and realistically written I found it on par with works by whom we consider masters … Hemingway definitely comes to mind."

Eric Madeen writes cross-genre, and is the author of a number of books:

Tokyo-ing! - This is an apt word for this bestselling trio of tales chiming with anyone even slightly interested in Asia’s most dynamic metropolis and its glazing of layers – be they cultural or taking-wing exuberant. Madeen does deep dives in three fascinating directions and voices, including the persona in first-person female. Then doesn’t let readers come up for air because they don’t want to -- until the delicious end.

Asian Trail Mix: True Tales From Borneo to Japan, a bestselling travelogue mixes it up on the Asian Trail in a voice that's by turns personal, passionate and ohhhh so very soulful. "So I get up at dawn and marvel at fog burning off into mist tumbling down like the finest mosquito netting of silk. The hills beyond the rivers' confluence, like shoulders of a woman undressing, the way the misty shroud lifts off feminine curves, higher and higher ... I tingle all over, feeling there on Borneo the dream tug of Joseph Conrad's fiction, notably Lord Jim." By turns literarily pathbreaking and intimate, this smorgasbord of travel essays scales down the sprawl of Asia by focusing on the unique and revelatory in gemmy prose. See up close and personal the razzmatazz of novice monks at play in northern Laos, the bonding with hustling pedicab drivers in Ho Chi Minh City, the rainforests blazed on gutsy treks across Borneo and Thailand's Elephant Island and novel things Japanese. Served up nice and spicy, Asian Trail Mix is slathered across 12 rocking-it essays plus a tall tale at its glorious ending, making for a baker's dozen of sumptuousness.

Big Ears Jack And Friends By Bestselling Earl Vincent de Berge Brings The Magic Of The Sonoran Desert To Life

'Big Ears Jack and Friends' is a collection of tall tales featuring extraordinary animals and plants from the Sonoran Desert of Baja California that can bring young people's love for nature to life.

Earl Vincent de Berge's 'Big Ears Jack and Friends' is a bestselling YA book that has received a 5-star review from Readers Favorite. It is one of those rare books that transport young readers into the heart of a world seldom seen by most, where they will enjoy learning about the extraordinary animals and plants found in the Sonoran Desert.

Earl's adventures in Baja California ignited a lifelong passion for the Sonoran Desert's unique plants and animals, fueling his inspiration to create this enchanting collection of tales for young readers.

The main character in these delightful stories is Big Ears Jack: a very big jackrabbit with huge ears -- and magical powers to use for good! Jack is the king of desert kindness, a good friend to all desert critters.

Among Jack’s friends readers will meet Nosey and Wag, mischievous coyote brothers; Blue Dasher, a racing dragonfly; the Kangaroo Rat Chorus; tree-lizard Boris; Giro the dust devil; Hawk Conchita and the red ants; Lady Treble Clef, a watchful cactus; Paulina, the puma poet; Diana the musical tarantula; Lady Chrona, a sea lion who dreams of flying; a scheming sea gull named Swindler; the beautiful bobcat Miss Mucha Purrs; Mr. Shellie the chatterbox tortoise; and Young Red Fox and his sweet love, the beautiful rabbit Adorna -- along with many others.

Reviewer Essien Asian said, "The author presents educational information in detail while using the dialogue between the characters to stimulate young readers' imaginations. The mix of strategically placed pictures, an engaging narrative style, and thought-provoking subplots regarding these animals ensures that young readers will learn vital lessons in diplomacy and survival from 'Big Ears Jack and Friends' while enjoying a captivating adventure.

In his review on Amazon Mark Winheld stated, "If you're up for more fantasy fun, you'll be tempted by chapter titles like 'Sheriff Diamondback and the Egg-Thieving Coyotes,' or 'Dianna the Musical Tarantula,' or 'Swindler (a thieving seagull) and Big Umpo the Sea Lion,' or 'Lady Treble Clef and Dust Devils Rescue a Javelina Family,' and many more."

An AWA reviewer said, "One of the book’s greatest strengths is its world-building. De Berge weaves the flora and fauna of Baja California into the narrative, making the setting feel like a character itself. Talking cacti, dust devils playing tag, and wise desert tortoises enrich the stories, placing readers in an enchanting ecosystem where the line between reality and fantasy blurs.

"The themes of community, creativity, and environmental respect run throughout the collection. Young readers will enjoy the magical adventures and witty dialogue, while adults will appreciate the underlying messages about cooperation, individuality, and harmony with nature."

Bestselling Author Eric Madeen Announces No Charge Download Of Ebook Version Of Massage World, Available at Amazon August 19 And August 20, 2025

Madeen is a recently retired professor of modern literature at Tokyo City University and an adjunct professor at Keio University. He writes cross-genre and has penned a number of Amazon bestsellers.

Bestselling author Eric Madeen has announced his latest novel, 'Massage World', will be available at no charge in ebook form at no charge August 19 and 20 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?.

Whose world is it anyway?

'Massage World' is a multicultural thriller that dives deep into both sides of the massage industry, and throughout you'll marvel at the unravelling of both sides. From the get-go you'll be struck with the force of that ambiguity, each side repelling each other like magnets thus making for a read with conflict galore, exceeding reader expectation and thus creating narrative drive ..., a kind of drive that's hell on wheels throughout and at times laugh out loud hilarious.

More specifically, as the global demand for massage therapy skyrockets, from luxurious spas to discreet outcalls, one ambitious therapist, Ingrid Swanson, dares to open Massage World, a grand health spa, defying the local underworld kingpin.

Enter Jack Cobb, a ruthless massage parlor lord determined to seize control of Ingrid's business through a series of illicit "massage wars," aided by a crooked undercover vice cop soliciting "extras." The chaos escalates as a media frenzy erupts following a dramatic police raid, sparking neighborhood protests and the crackle of soooo much more.

A fearless female biker gang figures in the ending, riding their rice rocket Yamahas and Hondas up the grandiose stairs of Massage World then roaring up another floor ... then the hellacious chase and ... and ...

HOW you'll be smitten with this Dionysian nightmare, clashing as it does with those on both sides of the tracks, be they crystally (holistic) or oily in a read you'll find zesty and informative as in what goes down or doesn't in the sliding signifier of Massage World, draped ... or the heck with the drape.

'Massage World' has received rave reviews from readers:

“It combines gritty realism, lurid sensationalism, and darker-than-black comedy to conjure up a phantasmagoric vision of a world in pain … So earthquaking powerful and fresh it is, I've never read anything quite like it, not even close.” — Larry McCaffery, author notably of Some Other Frequency: Interviews with Innovative American Authors and former Professor of English and Comparative Literature at SDSU.

“It’s a sizzler of a thriller bursting with eccentric energy.” — William Luvaas, winner of a Huffington Post Book of the Year award.

“Very cinematic with a canny and calculated construction. A really high-octane potboiler. Motion and emotion. Exotica and erotica from SoCal to Japan and back. Conflict galore. Kinkiness with and without aromatic oils. Who could ask for more?” — Harold Jaffe, Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing and Literature at San Diego State University and former Editor of Fiction International.

The ebook version of ‘Massage World’ will be available August 19 and 20 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?

Other books:

Eric Madeen's bestselling book, ‘Asian Trail Mix: True Tales from Borneo to Japan,’ scales down the sprawl of Asia by focusing on the unique and revelatory in gemmy prose. See up close and personal the razzmatazz of novice monks at play in northern Laos, the bonding with hustling pedicab drivers in Ho Chi Minh City, the rainforests blazed on gutsy treks across Borneo and Thailand's Elephant Island and novel things Japanese. Served up nice and spicy, Asian Trail Mix is slathered across 12 rocking-it essays plus a tall tale at its glorious ending, making for a baker's dozen of sumptuousness.

In a review for 'Asian Trail Mix', one reader said, "The writing is lush and emotive. It contains images and turns of phrase that will stay with you." Another said, "'Mr. Madeen has a knack for taking one into the depths of a country and introducing the reader to fascinating customs and interesting characters. Five stars!"

Another stated, "The author focuses on subjects of local interest at each of the intervening destinations, or vignettes. An American based in Japan, he has a writer’s eye for details and is quite adept at capturing the local sights, sounds, weather, atmosphere, and such of each place as well as conveying his personal impressions as an experienced traveler with a literary background and sensibility, to the reader."

'Water Drumming In The Soul' - a fiery tale set in steamy equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields, is on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a village where spells are cast on enemies and fear of a geek-shaman reigns. David seldom has his bearings – cultural or geographical – and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies as well as social taboos as he throws himself into work. Until... he meets Assam. Captivated by her water drumming, her playing the stream as a drum, David is drawn to her early on and becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is - with a tension or excitement between them that never dissipates, … until the haunting end.

‘Tokyo-ing!’ - This is an apt word for this trio of tales chiming with anyone even slightly interested in Asia’s most dynamic metropolis and its glazing of layers – be they cultural or taking-wing exuberant. Madeen does deep dives in three fascinating directions and voices, including the persona in first-person female. Then doesn’t let readers come up for air because they don’t want to -- until the delicious end.

‘Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rubbity-Dub Dubbed’ - In historically rich Yokohama, where Captain Perry and his Black Ships cracked open Japan, the wicked shiver of the tennis snub in the postmodern present pits David Adams against K: a puffed-up xenophobic tyrant who rules over the courts of a club that has as its anthem, ironically, the promotion of international friendship.

Bestselling Author Earl Vincent de Berge Announces Readers Favorite Five Star Review For Teen And YA Bestseller, Big Ears Jack And Friends

'Big Ears Jack and Friends' is a collection of tall tales featuring extraordinary animals and plants from the Sonoran Desert of Baja California.

Earl Vincent de Berge has announced that 'Big Ears Jack And Friends' has received a 5-star review from Readers Favorite.

Reviewer Essien Asian said, "The author presents educational information in detail while using the dialogue between the characters to stimulate young readers' imaginations. The mix of strategically placed pictures, an engaging narrative style, and thought-provoking subplots regarding these animals ensures that young readers will learn vital lessons in diplomacy and survival from 'Big Ears Jack and Friends' while enjoying a captivating adventure.

Earl’s adventures in Baja deepened his youthful fascination with the Sonoran Desert and its plants and animals, and inspired him to write this collection of charming stories for young readers. The main characters are Big Ears Jack – a huge magician jackrabbit – and other animals, birds and plants of the Sonoran Desert and its coastal regions. “Big Ears Jack and Friends,” received a best-seller rating on Amazon, where it is available in both print and e-book formats.

On Amazon, reviewer Mark Winheld stated, "If you're up for more fantasy fun, you'll be tempted by chapter titles like 'Sheriff Diamondback and the Egg-Thieving Coyotes,' or 'Dianna the Musical Tarantula,' or 'Swindler (a thieving seagull) and Big Umpo the Sea Lion,' or 'Lady Treble Clef and Dust Devils Rescue a Javelina Family,' and many more."

An AWA reviewer said, "One of the book’s greatest strengths is its world-building. De Berge weaves the flora and fauna of Baja California into the narrative, making the setting feel like a character itself. Talking cacti, dust devils playing tag, and wise desert tortoises enrich the stories, placing readers in an enchanting ecosystem where the line between reality and fantasy blurs.

"The themes of community, creativity, and environmental respect run throughout the collection. Young readers will enjoy the magical adventures and witty dialogue, while adults will appreciate the underlying messages about cooperation, individuality, and harmony with nature."

Big Ears Jack and Friends' is available in print and ebook form at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Earl-Vincent-de-Berge/author/B09R6M1G4Y?.

De Berge is also the author of a travel memoir, 'A Finger Of Land On An Old Man's Hand'. In this book, readers are immersed with four explorers in a transformative journey through Baja California in 1962 and 1964, inspired by 'The Forgotten Peninsula' by Joseph Wood Krutch. Baja proved a formidable challenge to men and equipment within its mountainous, sometimes lush, sometimes barren, desert environments; spectacular geology and complex ecologies bracketed by oceans. They enjoyed encounters with wild animals; found bountiful places to hunt and fish; met frontier families of the kindest sort; experienced Pacific storms, and love in a frontier village; met gold prospectors, hermits and one-of-a-kind characters.

One reviewer called the book, ". . . a beautifully written, fabulous tale of an incredibly brave and daring journey." ReaderViews, in their 5-star review said, "A Finger of Land on an Old Man’s Hand by Earl Vincent de Berge is the stark, witty, and profound memoir of four college students testing their limits on the Baja Peninsula in the summer of 1962. One could think of this as the classic literary assignment, 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation.' Only to do so would be to grossly underestimate this narrative."

Earl has published three collections of his poems, “Allegro to Life,” “Swans to Carry Me,” and “Wind in the Elephant Tree,” which touch on nature, human nature, love, desert silence, and life in Guatemala.

All of de Berge's books are available at Amazon and other online book retailers. More information, including an excerpt from the “Baja book” and a pdf of selected photos with insider details revealing Baja in the 1960s, is available on his website, https://www.earldeberge.com.
