Author Bruce Calhoun Announces Release Of Ardennia, A Mind Bending Adaptation Of The Cinderella Fairy Tale Story For Grownups


The new fairy tale book for adults is as amusing as Lord of the Rings is terrifying, and features elves, dwarves, pixies, ogres and giants, threaded together by a timeless love story.

Author Bruce Calhoun has announced the release of a fairy tale book for adults, Ardennia: The Unlikely Story of Cinderella's Prince. While it is likely that nearly all of us in the US are familiar with the Cinderella story, most seem pretty much the same, as they center on the story from Cinderella's perspective. In author Bruce Calhoun's modern version, Prince Charming takes center stage.

A fairy tale book for adults and young adults, Ardennia captures the magic, brutality and earthiness of the medieval ages. It chronicles the many adventures of Cinderella's Prince as he undergoes his baptism of fire in the Battle of Paris, is charmed by Cinderella at a masquerade ball, and sets off on a quest to find her after she flees the ball at the midnight hour. The quest takes him through strange lands supposedly inhabited by ogres, pixies, hobgoblins, man eating plants and giants, and peopled by extraordinary characters that include an epileptic bard, a bean counter who wagers his gold tooth in a dice game, a merchant who can never be too prosperous, a little girl who has a running feud with three bears, pilgrims that argue over who is the most pious and a beggar who has been cursed with leprosy for committing all the cardinal sins. It is magical realism in the traditions of Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter.

“Readers will enjoy this book because it takes them on a journey to a place they have never been before," Calhoun stated. "They will be treated to original fairy tales, immersed in the magic of the medieval age and charmed by characters who in other Cinderella stories are merely stereotypical villains. From start to finish, Ardennia will keep readers entertained and smiling. It is a delightful ride that you will not want to end.”

As founder of Save The Rainforest, Bruce Calhoun has had more than a few adventures of his own. He has Worked on a tramp freighter, fended off White Tipped oceanic sharks on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, filmed lowland gorillas in Africa, capsized a sailboat in the Bermuda Triangle, mushed sled dogs in Alaska, taught marine biology in Puerto Rico, explored the Amazon, and has written an award-winning play and an autobiography about founding Save The Rainforest. Certainly many of those quests influenced his cutting-edge creativity in shining a new light on one of our most cherished fairy tales.

Readers and reviewers have praised Ardennia. One said, ". . . Ardennia pegged my fun meter! Bruce Calhoun is a great storyteller and I quickly connected with the characters. As a father of two daughters and now a grandfather to two granddaughters I am quite familiar with Disney's story of Cinderella. In Ardennia, Calhoun wonderfully entertained me with his telling of the story of how this magical event came to be.

"In Ardennia, I found a castle full of characters that instantly engaged my curiosity about how they played into the journey that brought the Prince and Cinderella together. Beyond the characters Bruce Calhoun created, I also found myself plunked onto a geo-political landscape within which the story unfolds. The combination was irresistible, and I couldn't put the book down once I started it.

"If you are looking for "fun" book to read, I highly recommend Ardennia!"

Another said, "I was captivated since the beginning! Ardennia is so light and easy to read that actually I did not want to finish it. The story is full of strong females determined to make their voice heard and the colorful characters that navigate along with Prince charming make this book unique."

Best Selling Author Malve von Hassell Announces Release Of New Book, Tapestry Of My Mother's Life: Stories, Fragments, And Silences


Malve von Hassell is a freelance writer, researcher, and translator. She holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from the New School for Social Research. She has published nine books and a number of journal articles. The book was awarded a Five Star Medal by The Historical Fiction Press Awards in 2021.

How much do we really know about the lives of our parents - before they became our parents? Frankly, most of us only know what they have allowed us to know. There are many reasons why they might keep a secret or two. Embarrassment perhaps, regret or a mindset that does not allow for discussion of "certain" topics.

Communication across that generational gap is the subject of best-selling author Malve von Hassell's latest book, Tapestry Of My Mother's Life: Stories, Fragments, And Silences. Her story however is utterly unique, in that it begins in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, a dark time when dropping secrets or talking too much could cost someone's life.

Malve von Hassell explores her mother's life through the fragmented lens of transmitted memory, and its impact on the second generation.

Born at her grandfather's house in Farther Pomerania, 1923, Christa von Hassell had to contend with the increasing and pervasive impact of the Nazi regime. As the child of a German army officer, she moved with her parents often. Through boarding school, university, marriage, the Second World War, life under Soviet occupation, and a new beginning in the West, eventually in America, the biography is an incredible, emotional journey of childhood, survival, and relationships.

The portrayal of Christa's life also focuses on the role of memory: shaped, distorted, and realigned in the continual process of telling stories of the past in conjunction with silence about many aspects. Children of women who shared similar experiences and life trajectories struggled with the challenge of learning about their parents' lives during extraordinary times, confounded by a wealth of stories on the one hand and a seemingly impenetrable veil of silence on the other.

Working through such memorabilia, as well as the tales of the past, can offer ways in which one can come to terms with the inherited detritus of thoughts and memories. As such, this account of the life of a unique and complex individual has also wider relevance in that it addresses age-old questions of the relationship between one generation and the next.

“Readers of this book will in enjoy this colorful biographical portrait that provides insights into less frequently depicted aspects of life in Nazi Germany and in the aftermath,” Malve stated. “Writing this book has been a journey of discovery. I learned a lot about my mother and came to a greater understanding of her complex and unique personality. At the same time, I learned more about what shaped me.”

Tapestry Of My Mother's Life: Stories, Fragments, And Silences was awarded a Five Star Medal by The Historical Fiction Press Awards in 2021.

Readers and reviewers have praised Tapestry Of My Mother's Life. One said, "There is much I could say about this book, but one of the things that remains with me as I came to the end, was the haunting imagery that Hassell paints, of a woman who saw and endured so much pain, suffering and brutality before, during and after the war, and who, out of necessity to live and not sink into the maws of that depressive period, locked the pain away, deep inside, and moreover, rarely, if ever, expressed what she felt. One sees a stoic figure in one respect, a brave crusader in another, and a mother who simply wanted to make the best life for herself and her family and refused to admit or even express her own pain, or emotions. This is an excellent book. Every mother should be so privileged to have their stories so beautifully put to words." Another stated, "A remarkable story of the author's mother and her family life during one of the most important periods in history. Written with love and full of historical facts, it is a brilliant and exciting read not to be missed."

Other works by Malve von Hassell include:

The Struggle for Eden: Community Gardens in New York City (Bergin & Garvey 2002)
Homesteading in New York City 1978-1993
The Divided Heart of Loisaida (Bergin & Garvey 1996)
Letters from the Tooth Fairy (Amazon KDP 2012/2020)
Turtle Crossing (Amazon KDP 2021),
Dott’s Wonderful Travels and Adventures (Two Harbors Press, 2012), a translation and annotation of a German children’s classic by Tamara Ramsay
The Falconer’s Apprentice (namelos, 2015), her first historical fiction novel for young adults
Alina: A Song for the Telling (BHC Press, 2020), set in Jerusalem in the time of the crusades
The Amber Crane (Odyssey Books, 2021), set in Germany in 1645 and 1945.
She has edited her grandfather Ulrich von Hassell's memoirs written in prison in 1944, Der Kreis schließt sich - Aufzeichnungen aus der Haft 1944 (Propylaen Verlag 1994)

Malve von Hassell is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at malvevonhassell@optonline.net. All of her books are available at online retail outlets. More information is available at her website at https://www.malvevonhassell.com.

Best Selling Author Donna Fletcher Crow, Novelist Of British History, Announces Interview With Kishanda Fulford On Reading Jane Austen, Ghosts, And Life In Great Fulford


Crow writes meticulously researched, entertaining novels of romance, history, adventure and mystery in an engaging you-are-there style that allows readers to live the history. Reviewers have compared her work with PD James, Dan Brown and Barbara Pym.

Award-winning Donna Fletcher Crow recently interviewed Kishanda Fulford after her co-blogger Fay Simpson reported on her experience visiting Great Fulford. Crow noticed that Kishanda is a very popular topic on her blog and then wrote a blog wondering whether or not Kishanda might be a Janeite.

Crow and Fulford discussed reading habits, Jane Austen and then delved into the topic of the Fulford mansion. The full interview is available at Crow's site at http://www.donnafletchercrow.com in The Authorized Version blog section.

Crow was delighted with the interview, stating, "Getting to know Kishanda has been a delightful and surprising journey--from this mystery name that kept topping my website searches, through reading about her and her family's notorious reputation online, to enjoying a thoroughly charming conversation with her via cyberspace. It's truly been a lesson in not judging a person by media hype.

“It turns out Kishanda is a writer herself. Her biography on her husband's American ancestress Louisa Carolina Colleton is to be published in early 2022. I can’t wait--this Regency heroine sounds like a lady worthy to be a Jane Austen character."

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. Many of her books have been bestsellers in their categories, including 'A Most Inconvenient Death', which achieved #1 bestseller status in Christian Suspense. 'The Fields of Bannockburn', the epic from which The Celtic Cross Series, Part I: Scotland, The Struggle for a Nation is based, was listed as Fiction Bestseller by Christian Book Distributors and 'The Banks of the Boyne', the epic from which The Celtic Cross Series, Part II: Ireland, The Pursuit of Peace is based, hit #3 Best-Selling Fiction.

'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 Celtic Cross is a 2-part series which begins with Scotland: The Struggle for a Nation. In 4 individual epochs it tells the stories of—'The Keeper of the Stone,’ St. Columba; ‘The Forger of a Nation,’ Kenneth MacAlpin; ‘The Refiner of the Realm,’ Queen Margaret; ‘The Vanquishers of Tyranny,’ William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. Watch for all 6 epochs of Part II, Ireland, The Pursuit of Peace, coming early 2022.

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.”

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', 'An All-Consuming Fire' and the newly-released 'Against All Fierce Hostility.'

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 Loss and Hope'.

Where There is Love is a 6-book series of the enduring legacy of love and faith all based on historic people and events. The titles are: ‘Where Love Begins’, ‘Where Love Illumines’, ‘Where Love Triumphs’, ‘Where Love Restores’, ‘Where Love Shines’, and ‘Where Love Calls’.

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