First Dog on Earth by Irv Weinberg

Irv Weinberg book coverAbout Featured Book: First Dog on Earth by Irv Weinberg

First Dog on Earth is offered for FREE from December 14-18

At the dawn of civilization, a wolf dog befriends an old hunter and revives his alpha powers among his human tribe. Together with the animal’s pack, they discover a new way of life—a shared odyssey of survival and trust that grows into the most successful partnership the Earth has ever known, changing dogs and humans forever.

The pack led by Oohma encounters the first humans they have ever seen—Ish the old hunter, Lut the gifted young medicine woman and Hun the brutal tribe leader whose jealousy forces him out of the tribe.

This is the poetic story of how civilization progresses all because of the abilities the dogs bring the tribe. Set against the ancient Chauvet Cave in France with its remarkable cave art and the footprints of a small boy and his dog as they walk together side by side as companions not prey.

How does the greatest love story in history begin? With a leap into the unknown, as told in First Dog on Earth.

Finch Henry’s Air Fish

About Finch Henry’s Air Fish:

‘One of the most original and thought-provoking pieces of speculative fiction it has ever been my honour to read and edit. Congratulations, E. Heroldbeck, you truly deserve those five-star reviews.’ Lesley Jones – Fiction Editor.

Back of book:
Finch watches, perplexed, as the bride enters the glass chamber and lies down on the velvet draped bed. Cinema screens emerge streaming live footage of her, yet there is no sign of any groom. This isn’t like any wedding Finch had attended on his native island, but then the mainland has proved able to astonish at every turn. What was the single scientific discovery that the island rejected so long ago, creating a vast chasm in technological evolution between itself and the mainland? What can have been divisive enough to warrant the construction of new borders, trapping islanders in a bygone era while the mainland developed an advanced philosophical ethos? How will Finch relate to the beautiful Olga who has grown up with this evolved mindset, so far removed from his own, island-learnt outlook?

While futuristic and entertaining, the book questions the nature of existence, reality, and the value of life. If you’re fascinated by the wonder of consciousness and beyond, you’ll love ‘Finch Henry’s Air Fish’, a book written for those with an interest in the deeper meaning of life and who love to devour an entertaining page-turner.

Goodreads reader Elise Ciampaglia rated it 5 stars:
‘Absolutely original & thoroughly entertaining. A gripping page turner yet also incredibly thought provoking & intriguing. I read it once and then started again immediately as I didn’t want to put it down!’

On His Own Terms by Doug Shidell

About On His Own Terms by Doug Shidell:

Delone Taylor didn’t belong. Raised on welfare by a solo mother in small town Wisconsin, he rebelled against the labels, the charity and the assumptions. He didn’t fit in at the University, either, where he carefully shielded his past from friends and strangers alike. He didn’t know if he belonged anywhere- even in the shell he’d built around himself.
The bicycle was his escape. It didn’t judge or ask questions, but he couldn’t ride away from his past, including an ancient past that preceded civilization itself.
When a singular woman from a wealthy family pierces his shell, Delone is forced to confront the one thing he can control; how he navigates an immovable past in a fluid present.
Bikes, glaciers, the Vietnam War, and the Driftless Area of Wisconsin come together in a coming-of-age tale that explores the relationship between forces beyond our control and our reactions to them.

About Featured Book: The Secrets of Riverbottom Road by C. G. Haberman

For Jack Wiley, a respected writer, hell begins during a contentious meeting with his new supervisor. The hellfire continues with an emotionally charged trip to his hometown, where battering and bettering change him but does not prepare him for the fateful night that nearly destroys him.

His emotions of anger, annoyance, contempt, and sadness ebb and flow until he reaches his first stop in Kansas, where he begins to feel at home after thirty years away. The next day, as Jack descends into the river valley south of Lohfton, Nebraska, nostalgia grips him. The latent images of friends and adversaries come into focus as he leans against his vehicle parked at the highway and Riverbottom Road intersection.
In the next four days, Jack is welcomed, buffeted, denigrated, wined, dined, and humbled. Each day builds strength and love for his family, friends and unlocking the secrets of Riverbottom Road. The last night in Lohfton explodes with a fury that leaves him at the mercy of the reliable, decisive friends in his life.

The Diplomat of Florence by Anthony R Wildman

About The Diplomat of Florence by Anthony R Wildman:

Young diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli combines forces with artist and engineer Leonardo da Vinci to thwart the ambitions of a ruthless warlord to dominate Italy.

Florence, 1498. The long rule of the Medici is over and a new regime has emerged from the turbulence, a genuine republic of the people. But Florence is weak and threatened by a new warlord who is rampaging across central Italy—Cesare Borgia.

Niccolò Machiavelli is young and inexperienced when he becomes second secretary of the Florentine chancellery, but he is destined to become his city’s leading diplomat. As he tries to counter the Borgia threat, Machiavelli is plunged into the grim realities of power politics, negotiates with kings and popes, and learns that no one can be trusted.

In the tradition of Hilary Mantel, this is the story of a skilled diplomat whose name has become a byword for treachery and double dealing.

The Girl from Colombia

About The Girl from Colombia:

The Girl From Colombia by Julian Rodriguez is a compellingly written book and one that sets an insidious tone right from the beginning pages. With two evil antagonists in Mr. Johnson and Dr. Edwards. These are great characters and their personalities set the menacing stage for the book. Their individual psyches and personalities come to the forefront, and shine through the expertly written dialogue of each. This is a dark, foreboding Victorian tale, with an arranged marriage, a mysterious character in Isabel, and enough intrigue to keep this a fast paced read while conveying the tenor and culture of the times. Simply brilliant!
