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/.

Bestselling WWII Novel, Aaron's War By Richard McMaster, Will Be Available At No Charge In Ebook Form November 4 and 5, 2025

Aaron's War is an extraordinary work that will likely take its place as one of the best WWII historical fiction novels ever written. 

World War II stories still hold a special place in the minds of millions of Americans. We are enthralled by stories about this time period like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and Winds of War. Amazon best-selling novel, Aaron’s War, is a story of devotion, faith, and redemption—where the battle for one man’s soul proves as fierce as the war itself.

On the eve of World War II, Aaron Vanko learns two truths that shatter his world: his friends doubt he can kill, and his Ukrainian mother reveals he is Jewish, shattering his plans to marry the pastor’s daughter he loves. As he fights across Europe, Aaron witnesses the ruins of churches and synagogues, the horrors of death camps, and German soldiers clutching Bibles. Haunted by faith, identity, and the question of what separates belief from humanity, he returns home broken—until a twist of fate forces him to confront the German soldier who’s tormented his dreams, and to choose between vengeance and forgiveness.

The ebook version will be available at no charge November 4 and 5, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Richard-McMaster/author/B01LDIJ2QU.

In a story about the author, Richard McMaster, printed by The Hudson Weekly, Dennis Keller said, "There have been multiple authors that have made a significant contribution to the world of literacy. In the current era, we have come across several first-time authors with the gift of writing. Richard McMaster is an accomplished author whose works have been praised for their depth, complexity, and emotional resonance."

Keller continued with "Richard McMaster never falls into the trap of presenting his characters as simplistic archetypes or caricatures, instead allowing them to emerge as fully-formed individuals with their unique voices and perspectives.

"In addition to his skillful characterization, he is also a master of plot and pacing. The structure of his novels keeps readers engaged and invested in the story while also allowing for moments of quiet reflection and contemplation. The author’s writing is often described as 'page-turning' or 'gripping,' but it is also imbued with a sense of thoughtfulness and depth that elevates his work beyond mere genre fiction."

Richard McMaster is also the author of best-selling, psychological thriller, The Attic. The Attic is an emotional story about facing adversity and overcoming loss. When Byron Kelly’s wife dies, he faces assault charges and a lawsuit and flees to Chicago and assumes a new identity. When Byron Kelly becomes a whistleblower on the run from the FBI he hides out in the attic of a dying old man, Henry Steele. Byron cares for the old man and learns he is estranged from his daughter over the death of her mother, his wife, because of family secrets he has kept from her.

Readers of The Attic said, “Absolutely loved this book. I don’t want to give anything away, but this was the best book I have read in a long time. Haven’t done anything else for the last 24 hours. Just wonderful!” Another reviewer asked, “When they make the movie who will play the part of Byron? Who will play Sybie?”

Another book, A Love Divided by Time, is described as "one part The Notebook, one-part suspenseful psychopath story, and one part Somewhere in Time." In that book, Forrest and Allie believed they found love in a previous life and being born again was a game of hide-and-seek to find each other in plain sight, seeking their better halves, united and whole. When tragedy strikes, Forrest makes a pact to find her killer, raise their daughter, and find peace by joining her in the ever after.

A Writer's Digest critique stated, "This book is exemplary in its voice and writing style. It has a unique voice, and the writing style is consistent throughout."

The author’ favorite book is, Voyage Of Life, the life journey of Sean Buchanan is detailed through metaphoric depictions of the four stages of life in Thomas Cole's Voyage of Life paintings, childhood, youth, manhood, and Old Age. The painting’s depictions are a metaphor for his life—the verdant landscape and calm waters of childhood become turbulent in youth, and early in manhood the shores turn rocky when he faces one obstacle after another. Secrets that live in darkness can take a lifetime to see the light of day and the secret that has hovered over him since Youth is revealed late in his life.

A reader said, “While reading, you will smile, you will hesitate thinking, oh no, and you will cry, but there is a surprise toward the end. This is one of the best romantic books I have read.”

Can Hearts Create That Healing Feeling? Couples’ Reconciliations Inspire Healing of Town’s Long-Standing Rift

 Bestselling Author Mara Purl has announced the release of a new romance novel, When Hearts Heal, an engrossing and uplifting story with a fresh romance set against the background of some of California’s most iconically beautiful locations. 

Can fiction inspire actions in real life? Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art? Best-selling author Mara Purl puts it this way. “Fiction mirrors real life,” she declared. “I’ve been researching life in small coastal towns for many years, noticing trends as they begin to gather momentum. Right now I’m seeing a trend toward healing. People are tired of feeling divided and are looking not for common ground but for higher ground. That’s where reconciliation can happen.”

When Mara Purl wrote the final book in her series, she knew several romantic storylines would finally achieve HEA, or “Happily Ever After,” a key component of the Romance genre. What she didn’t know was that the deep personal hurts that are shown to be healed in the tale would inspire a healing within her fictional town as well.

Mara Purl’s new When Hearts Heal is an engrossing and uplifting story with a fresh romance set against the background of some of California’s most iconically beautiful locations. The couple’s paths cross in their teen years, then ignite in adulthood, sending shockwaves through their families and their business communities. To escape scrutiny they begin to plan romantic getaways in a romantic Avila Beach condo, their relationship heating up and then becoming serious. But when a prior relationship rears its head a devastating argument separates them. She travels to Esalen to meditate and recover; he invites her to Post Ranch Inn to reconcile, and in Big Sur their deeper understanding opens the door to authentic love.

Meanwhile another reconciliation is taking place between two long-standing enemies in the small town of Milford-Haven between two strong leaders. Their respective build versus no-build stances have divided the entire town until the sense of community is nearly lost. That is, until a shocking personal revelation begins to lead to a shared challenge and the possibility of compromise that heals them and their beloved town.

Book Five of her pentalogy makes its debut in print, and on Amazon Kindle, with her new E-book free for three days, October 9, 10, and 11th. The ebook will also be in Kindle Unlimited, a free read for members.

On October 12, Purl and her long-time friends and colleagues will perform scenes from their latest works at Coalesce Bookstore in Morro Bay, California, part of the region where many of their novels are set. “It’s become an annual event that all our readers and followers enjoy so much,” she explained. “The value of writing series is that readers always want the next installment. It adds to the fun”

Colleagues included at the event are Anne R. Allen, a well-known national blogger and author of mystery-comedies; Rolynn Anderson who writes women’s fiction adventures; and Tony Piazza, author of old-time Hollywood mysteries. They’ll be joined by two accomplished professional actors who will also take roles in the performed scenes, Ilona Stone and Chester Perryess.

Purl’s novel series has won more than 75 book awards. When Hearts Heal is part of Purl’s best-selling saga, Milford-Haven, which began as a hit BBC radio drama with 4.5 million listeners in the U.K., and became a multi-award winning book series with 17 million followers in the U.S. The saga is set in California’s scenic Central Coast, where Purl regularly researches her stories and is a frequent speaker.

Trade Reviews:

When Hearts Heal sweeps us back into Milford-Haven, a small coastal town brimming with secrets, passions, and the quiet hope of second chances. I enjoyed how lived-in this world feels. The writing carries a warmth that makes Milford-Haven less like a backdrop and more like a character itself. I found myself pulled into the streets and cafés, listening in on conversations, feeling the salt air press in from the Pacific. What I loved most were the relationships. They’re messy, often painful, yet also full of grace. There is a tangled web of characters and that’s exactly what gives the book its richness. Life isn’t tidy, and neither are these lives. When Hearts Heal left me with the sense of having visited old friends and walked away with a little more compassion for how complicated and beautiful people can be. I’d recommend this book to readers who enjoy stories steeped in community, where character and setting matter as much as plot. It’s for anyone who wants to sink into a small-town saga that doesn’t shy away from heartache but ultimately points toward hope.– Literary Titan 

Reviews

“I found this continuation of Mara Purl’s Milford-Haven series to be every bit as captivating and revealing as all the others. The way Purl composes her novels, this series could go on for a long, long time. And true to form, the last chapter is another bit from Samantha Hugo’s journal. Purl uses this journal to tie the story all together and it works well. Another wonderful read.”
    –  Linda Thompson, Host of The Authors Show

Reader comments:

“Mara’s Milford-Haven series goes deep into the life of artist Miranda Jones—her family, her agent, her friends and neighbors in San Francisco and the fictional town of Milford-Haven situated on the Central Coast of California. Intrigue, murder, and betrayal; musicians, murals, and shells; hummingbirds, whales, sea otters; … and an astronomer who shows Miranda how to reach for the stars in life and love.” – Derra Moyers

“I’m immensely enjoying the balance between depicting harmonious home life vs. the pacing of mystery/intrigue and crime elements/hints of danger! I can’t help but notice the through line of kindness and community - not to mention the descriptions of romantic passion stated with such elegance! You’ve managed to approach so many of our modern quandaries of toxic masculinity and male entitlement with an amazingly deft touch!  BRAVA!  I’m ready to move to Milford-Haven this instant!!  – Marilyn Harris

About the Author:

For her Milford-Haven Novels, Mara was named an Author Laureate by the American Book Fest, as well as Top Female Author for Fiction by the Authors Show. To date, her book series has won more than 75 book awards, and has topped multiple best-seller lists on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Her novels, novellas and novelettes with their gorgeous watercolor book covers and engaging mix of romance and mystery are sought after by her mostly female readers, where Mara has become a trail blazer for both Women’s Fiction and Small Town fiction.

Mara, who has appeared on stage and on-camera since childhood, played the recurring character “Darla Cook” on NBC’s Days of Our Lives. She then founded a production company and created Milford-Haven U.S.A.,a serial drama loosely based upon Cambria. The show, co-starring a well-known L.A. based cast including Erin Gray, Linda Purl, Ed Begley, Jr., Michael Horse, and several others, became the first American radio drama to air on BBC radio, where it enjoyed a following of 4.5 million listeners. Purl’s story later came to the attention of New York publishers, who began publishing her novel series in hardcover in 2011. Since then, her books have become national best-sellers.

Mara is a frequent guest on radio and television talk shows, Her most recent appearance was on KTNV La Vegas Morning Blend kicking off October as National Book Month. She also speaks for the American Heart Association, for women’s organizations, for writers’ conferences and for colleges and universities.

Richard McMaster recently announced that his bestselling WWII novel, 'Aaron's War', will be available at no charge in ebook form on March 10 and 11, 2025 at Amazon.

Bestselling author Richard McMaster's historical fiction novel is a gripping coming-of-age story that drops readers into the harsh realities of World War II. Readers follow along on the journey of Aaron Vanko, an innocent Iowa farm boy who undertakes the ultimate test of humanity—the willingness to kill another human being in the name of duty.

But Aaron's journey takes a stunning turn when he discovers a previously unknown truth: he is Jewish. This revelation adds a new layer of complexity to his life-changing odyssey, forcing him to grapple with his allegiance to his country, his personal beliefs, and his newfound identity, all while battling enemy forces that threaten the world.

'Aaron's War' is more than just a historical narrative; it is a powerful and compelling exploration of challenges that have persisted across generations. From the ethical dilemmas that soldiers face on the battlefield to the formidable personal struggles that veterans confront upon their return home, this story offers a poignant examination of the human condition.

This captivating and engrossing tale sheds light on issues such as antisemitism, PTSD, and substance abuse, making its exploration of these themes all the more relevant and compelling.

USA TODAY Best-Selling Author Holly S. Roberts says ‘Aaron’s War’ is “A coming of age story that grips your soul and takes you on a thought-provoking journey."

Readers and reviewers have praised ‘Aaron's War’. Tom Porter, author of All I Need To Know About Business I Learned From A Duck stated, "An engaging, informative and thought-provoking tale of survival, love and faith. Make room for Richard McMaster on your list of up-and-coming authors." Lynn M. Safris said, “The descriptions and details given throughout this author's writing draw the reader into each page, making Aaron's journey feel like their own.

US Strike On Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri Is Long Overdue Says Joseph M. Lenard, Author Of Bestselling Historical Fiction Novel, Terror Strikes

Al-Zawahiri was killed by US forces in Afghanistan on Sunday.

On Monday, President Biden announced that a counterterrorism operation took out Ayman Al-Zawahiri, an Al Qaeda leader involved in the September 11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City as well as being a major player in the slaughter of Egyptian Leader Anwar Sadat in 1981. The operation took place nearly 11 years after the 9/11 attack on US soil.

"Finally," was the first phrase bestselling author Joseph M. Lenard uttered. He then went more in-depth with his analysis of the situation:

"These strikes do more than just take out one leader. They have a cascading effect of turmoil within the ranks of the enemy. Several emerging leaders, wanting to fill the void created, might now create internal fighting as they jockey to take Al Zawahiri's place. While they squabble within, they have less time to plot large-scale operations, or engage operationally prior existing plans not yet undertaken. Local intelligence is more important than ever - to be vigilant against threats of smaller scale retaliation strikes from rogue sympathetic unofficial cells, or radicalized individuals that may react, similar to the Wisconsin Christmas Parade assault, that might be put into motion."

According to an article on NBC News, "In 2001, al-Zawahiri escaped U.S. forces when they invaded Afghanistan and toppled the previous Taliban government, which had refused to hand over bin Laden in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Al-Zawahiri's whereabouts were long unknown."

As stated on the ABC News site, Biden, "hailed the operation as a significant win in the fight against terror groups overseas -- including, as the White House was quick to point out almost a year after the messy exit from Afghanistan, in countries where the U.S. no longer maintains a military presence." In the same article, Biden was quoted as saying, "We continue to mourn every innocent life that was stolen on 9/11 and honor their memories. To the families who lost fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and coworkers on that searing September day, it is my hope that this decisive action will bring one more measure of closure."

Joseph M Lenard goes on to comment about the Biden address to the Nation regarding the Al Zawahiri assault on his Terror Strikes websites blog: https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/al-zawahiri-was-killed-by-us-forces-in-afghanistan-on-sunday.

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact. Joseph M. Lenard shreds the “creative writing process formulaic methodologies” to create a writing style and literature like no other author before.

Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", and utterly "unique".

Terror Strikes connects the dots of not just foreign terrorists, but those both foreign and domestic, that abhor Western culture and their attempts through terror attacks and other more shadowy undermining of our collective freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Whether you are a staunch conservative, a prepper, or just have concerns about what is happening in American life and society today, Terror Strikes will answer many of the questions you have regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, and will make for a remarkable reading experience.

Terror Strikes is available at online and traditional booksellers. More information is available at his websites at https://josephmlenard.us and at https://terrorstrikes.info.

January 6 Hearings and The Overblown Right Wing Extremist Terrorism Narrative Addressed By Joseph M. Lenard, Author Of Bestselling Historical Fiction Book, Terror Strikes

Lenard is the author of the #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes.

Bestselling author Joseph M. Lenard recently addressed what has become known as the "right wing extremist terrorism narrative" including the “January 6 Hearings” (deemed as a White Nationalist insurrection). In the first post he presents powerful evidence that "there is very little credence to right-wing terrorism." Instead, he makes the point that it is an "overblown left-wing false narrative to peddle a left-wing agenda."

Specifically, he addresses the myriad of questions the false narrative peddling "January 6 hearings" Star Chamber Show leaders refuse to ask or address, as well as the evidence (or cross-examination under the 6th Amendment protections/guarantees) to counter the accusations and provide substantiation of exoneration. He also asks “where was the outrage,” when left-wing activists occupied both the Wisconsin and U.S. Capitol buildings, and the occupation of the Gallery and disruption (outburst attempts, in violation of Gallery Guest policy/rules,) to unsettle and influence the Kavanaugh hearings, years prior?

In the Washington Post, in a piece titled "Beware the data on American right-wing violence," by Megan McArdle, we find a number of important points that support that position. The article reads in part:

“I’m not cherry-picking a few ambiguous outliers; I’m arguably describing the majority of the incidents in the ADL’s 2021 report. Every one of these killings is a horrific tragedy. But it’s not clear they all have much to do with politics, as the ADL itself acknowledges.”

“One of the most striking features of white supremacist murders is the large proportion of non-ideological killings to ideological killings,” the ADL wrote in its most recent report. “Over the past 10 years, only 86 of the 244 white supremacist killings (35%) were ideological murders.”

One reason for this confusion is that all prison gangs tend to be organized along racial lines, for complex sociological reasons, yet only the White gangs are coded as white-supremacist groups rather than criminal organizations.

Lenard went on to quote Dr. Emeritus Rik Coolsaet, Thomas Renard in "What The Zeitgeist Can Tell Us About The Future Of Terrorism":

“In the United States and across Europe, there is a broad recognition that right-wing extremism has become either the main terrorist threat, or at the very least a seriously growing concern. The racially motivated attack by an 18-year-old in May 2022 in Buffalo (NY), deliberately targeting African Americans and killing ten people before being arrested, was but the latest in a long series of lethal right-wing plots and attacks in the West. In parallel, a relative decline of jihadi activities in Western countries has been noted, resulting in a new balance of (perceived) terrorist threats."

In response Lenard wrote that, "NEO-NAZI groups that exist/operate in America (and several Western Nations . . . ) are all LEFT WING organizations.”

Joseph M Lenard further addresses the issue during speaking engagements on this topic by talking about the lack of education, or rather indoctrination and mis-education, of American youth about Civics – with the proper doctrines - as the right-wing on the political spectrum is anarchy (no government, complete unobstructed freedoms of/for/by all), and the left of the spectrum (including Communism, Fascism, Monarchy, Socialism) is toward full-government controls by one-person, one-party, or “deep-state,” over populace and dictates, with the United States Constitutional Republic a center-right creation by our Founders. “A [representative, Constitutional] Republic, [not a Democracy, mob-rule society, where minority groups within populace retain rights] if you can keep it” as Benjamin Franklin famously stated. Calling left-wing groups like ANTIFA and more using anarchist associated tactics as “right-wing” is pure spin and deception to peddle a false narrative.

These issues/points are further addressed and expounded upon in the two original blogs at https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/was-jan6-a-white-nationalists-insurrection and https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/the-overblown-right-wing-extremist-terrorism-narrative.

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact. Joseph M. Lenard shreds the “creative writing process formulaic methodologies” to create a writing style and literature like no other author before.

Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", and utterly "unique".

Terror Strikes connects the dots of not just foreign terrorists, but those both foreign and domestic, that abhor Western culture and their attempts through terror attacks and other more shadowy undermining of our collective freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Whether you are a staunch conservative, a prepper, or just have concerns about what is happening in American life and society today, Terror Strikes will answer many of the questions you have regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, and will make for a remarkable reading experience.

Bestselling Author Joseph M. Lenard, Who Predicted Overturning Of Roe Vs Wade In Historical Fiction Novel Terror Strikes, Issues Statement On Supreme Court's Recent Rulings

Lenard is the author of the #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes.

The Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe Vs Wade has created a firestorm in the US, with all major news organizations carrying the story. The major networks, including ABC, NBC and CBS all approach the ruling from slightly different perspectives. CNN ran a story on how some states were moving quickly to ban abortion and how this will reshape politics. The New York Times noted the protests being held nationwide. Reuters stated that the Vatican is praising the decision. NPR provided a list of the states that have banned abortion.

In short, the Roe V Wade decision is one of the most polarizing topics in recent US history. That will likely not change any time soon. From the majority opinion: "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences... It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives..."

Joseph M. Lenard, bestselling author of Terror Strikes, and member of Michigan’s Upper-Downriver Right-To-Life organization, predicted that Roe V Wade would be overturned in his book. He recently issued a statement, titled "OVERTURNED," on his website. That statement reads in part:

"Let’s be clear: RoeVWade was based upon faulty grounds. Even far-left Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had admitted such. The grounds to murder babies was never actually established within flimsy privacy question of that ruling. So, can I murder someone as long as I do so in the privacy of my own home if I promise to sell off their body parts like PP does? (of course not).

“I knew thee before you were formed in your Mother’s womb.

"One does not have to take the Word of someone from the ACLJ or conservative group to understand this. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, in speech to University of Chicago Law School, admitted RoeVWade was a very narrowly focused ruling and she lamented how it did not go far enough toward deciding the actual broader issue of abortion (and establish the ability to kill a child in the womb). Many failed in the decades that followed, in holding the narrow-ruling, but instead allowed Democrats to falsely establish a broader doctrine of/from that ruling via lower court liberal-activist rulings."

The full piece is available at https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/overturned-just-as-other-bad-precedences-were-previously-overturned-so-too-now-roevwade, and even includes access (audio) to WAAM Radio “Abolitionists RoundTable” show/discussion (of which Joseph took part) about the Roe overturn, facts not feelings, what must come next.

From “Terror Strikes” book…

"Abolitionists, the primary founders of the Republican Party, overturned SLAVERY while Democrats insisted Blacks weren’t HUMAN. Likewise, the GOP will overturn Abortion while Democrats make the same false narrative today those babies are just a clump of cells in the womb and aren’t human...

The Republican Party was the sole driving force in getting passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and under EQUALITY of ALL HUMANS Abortion would eventually over-turned as everyone knows, despite their denials, a HUMAN in the womb has Rights under the 14th Amendment..."    (page 79)

Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.

It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in his latest #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears and Deep Impact.

Terror Strikes connects the dots of not just foreign terrorists, but those both foreign and domestic, that abhor Western culture and their attempts through terror attacks and other more shadowy undermining of our collective freedom to enjoy life, individual/personal liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Bruce Fleury (author himself of: “The Negro Project: Margaret Sanger's Diabolical, Duplicitous, Dangerous, Disastrous and Deadly Plan for [killing] Black America“) wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”

Suicides Rates Rise Among Veterans, Police Officers, Even After The End Of Covid Lockdowns - Joseph M. Lenard, Bestselling Author Of Historical Fiction Novel, Terror Strikes, Shows Us How To Help Those Having Suicidal Thoughts

Lenard is the author of the #1 bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes. Suicide is a sub-theme in his highly praised book.

In a recent piece on Military.com, titled, "Since 9/11, Suicide Has Claimed Four Times More Military Lives Than Combat," it was stated that, "More than four times as many troops and veterans of the wars since 9/11 are believed to have died by suicide than were killed in the wars themselves, a new study from Brown University has found.

"In a paper released Monday as part of its Costs of War series, Brown's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs estimates that 30,177 active-duty personnel and veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken their own lives over the last nearly 20 years."

That is staggering. And it is not only veterans. In a recent article on CBS17.com, it was stated that, "The suicide rate among law enforcement officers is rising. Nationwide, on average, the risk of suicide among police is 54 percent higher than workers in other industries."

These are but a few of the headlines in the news today detailing suicide rates in stressful occupations. We have also seen rises in suicides in other groups, most notably teens. Why is this happening and what can we do about it? Joseph M. Lenard, author of the bestselling historical fiction novel, Terror Strikes, recently posted an article in which he offers an up close and very personal look at suicide, and offers advice regarding how we might help those who are having suicidal thoughts. In that article, he said in part:

"Back in 2018 we had two high profile suicides with Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain in just a couple of days’ time, but on average 22 Veterans commit suicide daily. Sadly too, those who serve as first responders often fall prey to thoughts of suicide, as well as those with survivors-guilt from heinous criminal and terrorist acts (I discuss this as a sub-theme in my book: Terror Strikes – Coming soon to a City near you!). My thoughts and prayers go out to their families. I have had several on-air interviews with local radio show hosts, over the lockdowns about the spikes in suicide attempts due to the even greater isolation, especially among teens.”

"Why do I speak with local radio about suicide? I certainly do not often share this publicly; though the local hosts know; but in 2006 I attempted suicide via an over-dose on drugs. Obviously, that was not a successful attempt - as I'm still here. Every day and every night I still struggle with and fight those feelings, so I know what they deal with.”

"I had lost my job and gone onto Social Security Disability in 2004, that led to divorce, which culminated one night in 2006 that something just snapped. Note: others' situations will obviously be different, especially our Veterans suffering PTSD, but regardless of what may seem minor to you, are major catastrophes in their mind and may lead to the same dark place and that suicide is the right option. It is not.”

"For me, it was almost surreal, like I wasn't even in control of myself as I took one pill (regular nightly dose) and then, just took another, then several, then a handful. I have no idea how much time later, I awoke in the hospital. I still, all these years on, struggle daily with these thoughts and issues.”

"This is something that can afflict male or female, young or old, rich or poor, whatever. I hope that Spade and Bourdain and their families have found some degree of peace. I hope you will join me in thoughts and Prayers, and if you don't mind - if you could include me in those that I can find God's comfort and strength, I'd appreciate it.”

“So, now would be a good and important time to reach out to all your family and friends and remind them how much you love them and how much you appreciate them being around. You are not likely to know that someone in your circle is feeling this way. I can't speak 'statistically', but only from my own circumstances and feelings, that they are likely to also feel that they cannot reach out to you - as you will not understand, or may be dismissive, or think less of them. They may."

The full piece, including a number of suicide prevention resources and audio clips, is available at https://www.terrorstrikes.info/post/even-after-the-covid-lockdowns-still-more-suicides.

Award Winning Author Donna Fletcher Crow Announces New Adventure Murder Mystery, Against All Fierce Hostility, Set In Canada

The new murder mystery is book 6 in the Monastery Murders series. Reviewers have compared her work to PD James, Dan Brown and Barbara Pym.

Award winning author Donna Fletcher Crow has announced the release of book 6 in the Monastery Murders series, Against All Fierce Hostility.

The Monastery Murders moves to Canada when Antony is invited to lecture on the British saints who inspired the founding of Toronto and Felicity couriers an ancient manuscript connected with Saint Patrick to monasteries in Montreal and Vancouver. A spectacular train journey across the breadth of the continent carries them even further away from the murder Felicity witnessed in England. Or does it?

Reviewer have given Crow’s mysteries high praise, with comparisons to PD James, Dan Brown and Barbara Pym:

- “In Against All Fierce Hostility, Donna Fletcher Crow continues her signature brand of blending church history with the twists and turns of a cozy mystery as Antony and Felicity journey across Canada, dogged by shadowy people and circumstances. Crow sprinkles the clues and red herrings throughout the story so ably that I couldn’t figure out the villain until the shocking ending.

“The marvelous details of Antony and Felicity’s trip across Canada give a glimpse into the country’s expansive geography and its youth as a country. Crow brings the Canadian setting to life–glaciers, mountains, northern lights, prairies filled with grain from horizon to horizon, lakes by the thousands–it’s a canvas that provides the perfect expanse to who’s after the original document from St. Patrick’s lifetime. And it provides the perfect crime scene for the astounding ending. Lovers of PD James will enjoy this new twist on The Monastery Murders.” - Laurie Wood, Author of the Heroes of the Tundra Series

- “In A Darkly Hidden Truth, Donna Fletcher Crow creates a world in which the events of past centuries echo down present-day hallways—I came away from the book feeling as though I’d been someplace both ancient and new. Donna Fletcher Crow gives us, in three extremely persuasive dimensions, the world that Dan Brown merely sketches.” - Timothy Hallinan, The Queen of Patpong, Edgar nominated Best Novel

- “With A Darkly Hidden Truth Crow establishes herself as the leading practitioner of modern mystery entwined with historical fiction. The historical sections are much superior to The Da Vinci Code because she doesn’t merely recite the facts; she makes the events come alive by telling them through the eyes of participants. The contemporary story is skillfully character-driven, suspended between the deliberate and reflective life of religious orders in the UK and Felicity’s ‘Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead’ American impetuousness.

“Her descriptions of the English characters read like an updated and edgy version of Barbara Pym. A Darkly Hidden Truth weaves ancient puzzles and modern murder with a savvy but sometimes unwary protagonist into a seamless story. You won’t need a bookmark—you’ll read it in a single sitting despite other plans.” - Mike Orenduff, 2011 Lefty Award Winner, The Pot Thief Who Studied Einstein

Crow says, “For many people one of the most disruptive aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the forced cancellation of travel for business, family and recreation. My husband and I have had to cancel four much-anticipated international trips and numerous ones to visit family in the States. We find ourselves filling that void in our lives with armchair travel through such programs as “Rick Steves’ Europe” and “Mighty Trains,” as well as reading books set in distant locations. I am excited to be able to offer readers who are feeling home-bound a new book to take them on a vicarious adventure.”

About the Canadian background of her new book Against All Fierce Hostility, Crow says, “We are so fortunate that we took the trip that served as research for my book last year. Riding the luxurious Canadian across the continent had been at the top of my bucket list for years. As soon as my husband told me he had managed to secure reservations for the long-dreamed-of adventure, I knew that had to be the setting for my next book.

“It was truly the trip of a lifetime—the service exquisite and the scenery stunning. And it was great fun re-living it all through the eyes of my characters—although fortunately, we didn’t have to cope with the presence of possible murderers like Felicity and Antony do.”

Donna Fletcher Crow is the author of 50 books, mostly novels of British history. She has taken a number of high-level industry awards for her work. 'Glastonbury' is her best-known book, which received the prestigious First Place, Historical Novel, award from the National Federation of Press Women. Readers and reviewers have raved about 'Glastonbury', calling it "The best of its kind," "richly fascinating," "beautifully researched," "gloriously evocative," and "panoramic." One Amazon reader said, "WHAT a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."

The Monastery Murders Series features atmospheric contemporary crimes with their roots buried deep in the middle ages. Books in the series include 'A Very Private Grave', 'A Darkly Hidden Truth', 'An Unholy Communion', 'A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary' and 'An All-Consuming Fire' and 'Against All Fierce Hostility.'

The Lord Danvers Victorian true-crime series is an Amazon bestseller in the British Detectives category. Books in the series include 'A Lethal Spectre', 'A Most Inconvenient Death', 'Grave Matters', 'To Dust You Shall Return' and 'A Tincture of Murder'.

The Daughters of Courage, 'Kathryn', 'Elizabeth' and 'Stephanie' is a pioneer family saga based on the stories of Crow's own family and other Idaho pioneers in the Kuna, Nampa and Boise area. A short story on her blog entitled “A Nostalgic Fourth of July” is based on a scene from ‘Kathryn: Days of Struggle and Triumph'.

The Elizabeth & Richard Mysteries is a literary suspense series using literary figures as background: Rudyard Kipling in 'The Flame Ignites', Dorothy L Sayers in 'The Shadow of Reality', Shakespeare in 'A Midsummer Eve's Nightmare', and Jane Austen in both 'A Jane Austen Encounter' and 'A Most Singular Venture'. Watch for 'A Prodigious Sum of Corpses: Seeking Sanditon at Jane Austen’s Seashore', which will take readers to all of Austen’s favorite seashore resorts. Accounts of Crow’s visits to these sites are available on her blog under the heading “Jane Austen Seashore Tour.”

Donna provides a no-charge download of 'A Tincture of Murder' from the Lord Danvers Investigates series for those who sign up for her newsletter. More information is available at her website.

Donna Fletcher Crow's awards include:

Where Love Begins, Best Historical Romance, Pinnacle Awards 2019
A Lethal Spectre, Best Mystery, Pinnacle Awards, 2019

Award Winning Author Gina Iafrate Announces New Novel, 'Releases From My Soul'

Iafrate's sweeping, extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters.

Author Gina Iafrate has announced the release of a new novel, 'Releases From My Soul'. 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. Gina's extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters.

In the new book, Gina Iafrate presents us with 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.

Immerse yourself in these remarkable creations that will leave you breathless.

Her travel and interesting life experiences have set the scene for much of her writing. Known for her quick-paced narration and descriptive atmosphere, Gina's words take the reader on unforgettable journeys, along with the characters she creates.

"A passion for literature is a gift I've held since birth," Iafrate stated. "This prompted me to put down on paper my experiences, derived from the feelings deep in my heart. Drawn from my experiences, research, travel and studies, I hope to use these stories to motivate others; to spread kindness, love, to inspire and to share a positive outlook on life. We can all become better human beings and live in a peaceful world."

Gina Iafrate is the author of three other novels. In 'Bestowed By Love And Splendour', a broken-hearted wife and mother unexpectedly finds herself taken away from her tormented life. 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.

In 'The Girl From The Cornfield', it is 1950 and Giuliana Ferrante is growing up in a sleepy town deep in the Italian mountains. 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 hurdles across time, countries, and characters as it explores how love can heal, reconcile, and restore.

Iafrate is also the author of 'The English Professor'.

Award Winning Author Gina Iafrate Announces New Romantic Fiction Novel, 'Bestowed By Love And Splendour'

Iafrate's sweeping, extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters.

Author Gina Iafrate has announced the release of a new romantic fiction novel, 'Bestowed by Love and Splendour'. 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. Gina's extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters.

The new romance novel is the breath-taking story of a broken-hearted wife and mother who is taken away from a tormented life. 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.

In 'The Girl From The Cornfield', it is 1950 and Giuliana Ferrante is growing up in a sleepy town deep in the Italian mountains. 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 hurdles across time, countries, and characters as it explores how love can heal, reconcile, and restore.

Iafrate is also the author of 'The English Professor'. In that 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 Mediterranean setting, he develops a burning infatuation for another man’s wife. Falling into each other’s arms, Andrew and Francesca both satisfy the longings 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.

Immigration, The Caravan And The Midterm Aftermath - Nothing New Under The Sun Says Joseph Ganci, Author Of Epic Biblical Novel Featuring Old Testament Revelations, 'Gideon: The Sound And The Glory'

In 'Gideon, The Sound, and the Glory,' Ganci combines Old Testament revelations with modern day revelations, action, and adventure to provide audiences with a unique, emotionally charged experience.

Immigration has dominated our headlines for many months now. While we like to think this is a modern-day issue, immigration - the journey to the promised land and a better life - have been with us for many centuries. These human sagas, replete with all the political drama that surrounds such issues, have been playing out since Biblical times.

While immigration and the accompanying political melodramatic plotlines may not first come to mind when considering stories from the Old Testament, author Joseph Ganci has managed to turn the little-known account of Gideon into a Bible-based novel that reads like a modern-day major motion picture based on current events. He shows us that Biblical stories can be more than just dusty history - they can be keenly entertaining. He brings the Bible to life and rekindles the fires of ancient passions. He offers practical application of revelatory insights of faith, visions, and spiritual determination for modern-day living. He does it all in ways that will entertain, motivate and enlighten. Consider the following:

"The people of Israel were now on the outskirts of Canaan, just beyond the River Jordan in the plains of Moab. They were within sight of the Promised Land, approaching the border of the land God promised to Abraham and his descendants. To assert their spiritual legacy would not be an easy undertaking. They would have to proceed by faith and rely solely on the strong hand and outstretched arm of God. The land of milk and honey was peopled by mixed and hostile populations who were violently opposed to yielding a cubit of ancestral lands—they would not go without a struggle. Canaan controlled the fertile valleys and the coastline with its unfriendly strongholds of walled cities. The high valleys were the domain of the Amorites. The Hivites, (Neo) Hittites, Jebusites, and Perizzites peopled the villages, towns, and hamlets of the central lowlands. This was Israel’s time of conquest and settlement, often by force of arms. Occasionally, an attempt was made to infiltrate peaceably.

"The Midianite kings were the sworn enemies of Israel and had been ever since their first encounter at the Battle of Mount Tabor. They witnessed firsthand the ever-growing might of the wandering vagabonds who had escaped Egyptian rule. Israel was, after all, an uninvited and unwelcome visitor who, by force or by stealth, insisted on making a place for themselves. Now they had become an ever-increasing problem on the ancestral lands of the Midianites, Amalekites, Canaanites, and all the children of the East. The land of their birthright from the beginning of time was being stolen by the fertile increase and unstoppable multiplication from the slave children called 'Israel.'”

Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring the awe-inspiring story of Gideon to life and ultimately to film. He believes that connecting facts are far more enchanting than loosely fitting fantasies. He works within a framework of an engaging and dramatized fiction that, while exceedingly rich in detail, remains faithful to uphold spiritual principles. He bases his work on three primary pillars:

* The rock-solid cornerstone is historical biblical geography.

* The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues.

* The research is concrete, firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.

Gideon coverGanci fills in the blanks with rock-solid research and prophetic revelations. It is a style that has allowed him to create breakthrough approaches that are exciting and breathtaking while remaining within the limits of believable biblical teachings.

Mysteries long hidden in ancient shadows now leap to life blazing unto the pages of revelation. Details that link passages, peoples, and places are the most exciting part of the storytelling process. Details give possibilities a firm foundation as bones give form and strength to living flesh. Details long since lost or misunderstood, now ring true, giving texture, and breath, to long-forgotten gems of perception resurrected from ruins, dust, and ashes.

Readers of 'Gideon The Sound and the Glory' will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, how, and why, David found himself at his battle with Goliath, and much, much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.

Joseph Ganci was recently chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in the 2017 Book Awards. 'Gideon: The Sound and the Glory' has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. A recent reviewer stated, "Joseph Gauci’s prose is arresting, peppered with fantastic imagery and succinct descriptions of plot, characters, and setting. The themes are masterfully created, and they are woven into the story in a way that allows the reader to enjoy both the inspiration the story offers and the accompanying action. The book explores powerful spiritual and political themes, capturing the conflicts and the dynamics of life within the community of God's chosen people. Gideon: The Sound and the Glory will appeal to fans of political thrillers, adventure, and conflict-driven stories laced with intense action." Other reviewers have used phrases such as "riveting," "amazing" "deftly crafted" and "highly recommended."

Ganci has also announced he will make his book available as a fundraising tool for like-minded associations and charities. Donors can receive an eBook version of 'Gideon' in exchange for a donation to a worthy cause. For more details, contact Joseph via email.

Political Leadership, the Midterms, And Donald Trump - Lessons In Self-Serving, Versus Self-Sacrifice Exposed In Epic Novel Based On Old Testament Revelations, 'Gideon, The Sound And The Glory'

In 'Gideon, The Sound, and the Glory,' Ganci combines Old Testament revelations with modern day revelations, action, and adventure to provide audiences with a unique, emotionally charged experience.

Leadership can mean different things, to different people. In the political realm, leadership could be defined as serving the needs of the people. In the US, this would be further defined as serving the needs of most of the people, most of the time. There is no democracy when political leadership is defined as serving personal needs, whims, and wants. While we might bicker, complain or protest the ideas and actions of those of opposing views or parties, we collectively abhor those who use power to serve only their own hidden agendas.

Three major hurricanes have hit the US, one of which hit Puerto Rico. The Russians and now China are attempting to influence the US elections. We have but a few years before crossing a fatal line about climate change. North Korea and other countries threaten nuclear disaster. The intelligence services of the US have been accused of any number of covert actions against their own government. White supremacist groups, after Charlottesville, act more empowered. And now the murder of a journalist in Saudi Arabia. Our immigration policy is viewed as barbarians at the gate and our frayed Constitution hangs by a thread.

What would an effective leader do when faced with such overwhelming challenges? Would that leader take decisive action to serve the needs of the majority? Or would that leader attempt to spin everything in such a way as to convince the people that there is an alternate truth and that their very eyes deceive them.

"The natural man is concerned with appearances and worldly acclaim," Ganci stated. "He is a conceited creature whose only security is the accumulation of wealth and power. Ridicule is his greatest fear, for it is a grievous wound in the unveiling of his delicate self-centered ego, and the destructive self will run riot with power, prestige, and unearned glory."

"Gideon, a lightly considered cutter of trees, was blessed by an angel to be the savior of all Israel. Gideon responded, 'How can I save all of Israel? My family is poor, we have lost our inheritance to tribal lands, and I am the least regarded in my father's house.' Gideon never uttered a falsehood and was true to his word. When he was asked to do the impossible he doubled his efforts with faith, service, self-sacrifice, and courage, all for the greater good of God and mankind. After his miraculous victory over impossible odds, he declined kingship for himself, his son’s and his grandsons with the words 'God is king, and Him only will I serve."

"Gideon’s love child, Abimelech, beheads his seventy brothers that represented a congress of judges and so attained the dual crowns of both Cannan and Israel. He uses lies, deceit, fierce manipulation, and all the force at his disposal to maintain his authority. In the end, Abimelech’s head is crushed. Think of it like being indicted, arrested, impeached, and dismissed in disgrace. Then, and only then, will the people's eyes be opened to the truth of all things?"

These types of gripping human dramas have been playing out since Biblical times. While political dramas and action/adventure themes may not be our first thought when considering stories from the Old Testament, author Joseph Ganci has managed to turn the little-known account of Gideon into a Bible-based novel that reads like a modern-day major motion picture. He shows us that Biblical stories can be more than just dusty history - they can be keenly entertaining. He brings the Bible to life and rekindles the fires of ancient passions.
