Here’s the set-up:

The bond of a father and daughter is special. When Jules’ father asks her to come stay with him because he’s terminally ill, she goes for the remarkable opportunity to really know her father. She never dreamed he had liberated a concentration camp, dealt cards to Bugsy Siegel, or saved the life of a Black Panther. Wings of Hope takes you on a road trip through the memories of a man making peace with his life through his conversations with his daughter. Teaching her that death is sometimes the most heartbreakingly beautiful part of life.

Hope is the last gift of a father to his daughter–the power to reach for her dreams.

From a reviewer:

“When time is short, life becomes so much more precious. “Wings of Hope” is the last minute bonding of a father and daughter, as Jules returns to her father and in her short time, learns to experience the joy that is founded between them and forge something that much more special. With humor and poignancy, “Wings of Hope” is a thoughtful and much recommended pick for general fiction collections.” Michael Dunford, Midwest Book Review

Notes from the Firehouse

Here’s the set-up:

Firefighting isn’t always about fighting fires, although it’s about that too.

Sometimes it involves capturing runaway parrots, evicting vagrant bats, extricating small dogs from snow-blowers, and extinguishing brushfires while being bombarded with golf balls; it’s a unique job to say the least. This collection of short stories covers the entire gamut from funny to tragic.

The author documents many of the calls that “take a little piece out of you” but he mixes in a little humor into every story. Of course, there are also a few stories about that special brand of insanity that’s found in the firehouse – to the author it’s the Cracker Factory.

This collection of short stories allows the reader to take an inside look into a profession that is like no other – firefighting.

From the reviewers:

“It’s captivating. I couldn’t put it down.” – Rhett Fleitz -The Fire Critic

The most daunting thing about running into a burning building isn’t the fire; it’s everything else. ‘Notes from the Firehouse” is the memoir of veteran firefighter D.E. McCourt. “Notes” is a moving and exciting memoir about the things people don’t always consider about firefighting. – The Midwest Book Review

Here’s the set-up:

Set against the backdrop of the Second World War/Sino-Japanese war (1931-1945), the story centres around the fatal love between a married Chinese woman and a young Japanese soldier. However, the fantastic tale is not as simple as its plot suggests. In the forties of the 20th century, one summer day, on the bending shore of the magical, eternal river Yangtze, a woman met a young stranger she falls in love with. But he can’t love her back, and she can’t love him if she would have known why he has hunted her down all over China to tell her a dark secret…

“A shamelessly original work of art that you can read legally outside China”

Butterfly is a haunting love story a la Romeo and Juliet of the Orient. The modern fairytale explores passion beyond all forbidden boundaries and love tested to its limits to defy even death. Taking a stab at sensitive historical, social issues such as the Rape of Nanking, the question arises, what is love? Where is the salvation in all the heartlessness of mankind? Are we able to love, a deed that is so often taken for granted? Perhaps love is neither simple nor always pleasant or even inhuman. In the end the protagonists have to undergo a metamorphosis in order to be reunited again on the bank of the Yangtze river where they met seven decades ago.

About the author:

Julie O’Yang is a novelist and visual artist based in The Netherlands. Born and brought up in China, she came to Europe in 1990s to study at the University of London. Then she read Japanese Language and Culture at the University of Leiden, Holland, and Tokyo, Japan.

From the reviewers:

“A shamelessly original work of art that you can read legally outside China” – New Beijing Voice

“A tour de force.” Leanne Delehanty, author and visual artist.

“Butterfly is a book that reminds you of the joy of discovering a treasure, and wondering why there aren’t a few hundred-thousand more who have already found it before you.” – Unlikely stories.

“Transforms you, from cover to cover.” – Neverland.

“History is written only once, so is Butterfly by Julie O’Yang.” – Young Chronicle

“A book that has all the essential ingredients that makes a bestseller” – Creative Ecstasy

Here’s the set-up:

“”Passage”” is an incredible true story of Grace Balogh and her courage during a turbulent time in American history.

Through her journals, “”Passage”” recounts the struggles of the Great Depression; America fighting two wars: one with unconditional public support and the other with public indifference; the letters from servicemen that are poignant and timeless; and the emergence of a Cold War that pits two ideologies against each other.

Threats to the American way of life prompt the FBI to recruit Grace Balogh as an undercover agent whose job is to infiltrate a cell planning violent overthrow of the United States government. Grace leads this secret life largely unknown to her family and friends.

“”Passage”” takes the reader on a journey into events of the 1930’s, 1940’s, and 1950’s that read like the headlines of today.

Here’s the set-up:

Noel Hynd knows the ins and outs of Washington’s agencies both public and secret. – Publishers Weekly

A deadly and elusive man. A young woman seeking justice and retribution. A thirty-year-old secret from World War Two. A latter day showdown among British, American, and Soviet intelligence services.

Who was Karl Sandler? Wartime patriot? Or a ruthless and amoral monster who put his vast financial machine behind the highest bidder? Leslie McAdam calls him by another name: her father.

Based on a shocking and shameful episode in history that threatened to alter the course of the world’s economic future, The Sandler Inquiry tells a gripping and unforgettable story of espionage and intrigue, loyalty and love, set in the sprawling ragged violence-prone New York City of the 1970’s.

Determined to claim her rightful inheritance — and to uncover the shrouded past of the man she knew as her father — Leslie has come to Thomas Daniels, a New York attorney haunted by his own bloodstained family history. Yet not even Daniels can imagine what lies beneath decades-old secrets when he launches an inquiry into his client’s murky past. As he moves through the twisting labyrinth of the world’s intelligence community, he uncovers a monstrous link between the man who called himself Karl Sandler and a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of government…in three countries. From America to Europe to Soviet Russia, he pursues a cold trail that is suddenly red-hot, as the violence of the past lives again and Daniels is stalked by a deadly adversary who must keep the truth buried at all costs.

Now available in a brand-new Amazon Kindle edition, it is a classic novel of World War II and its chilling aftermath from Noel Hynd, the author of FLOWERS FROM BERLIN.

From the reviewers:
..
“A HUMDINGER! Incredible tension, byzantine plotting, fascinating people. Keeps you off balance and guessing all the way. How it all works out is enthralling and chilling.” – Publishers Weekly.

“Fast moving, intriguing and very readable, this spy mystery gets its impact from its intricate plot and complex characterization. For those who revel in suspicious characters, sinister happenings and baffling mystery, Noel Hynd’s latest novel is a delight.” – The Christian Science Monitor.

“Noel Hynd had you glued to the last page! – Boston Globe

“Fast-paced and extremely well plotted…espionage, murder and romance are all intertwined in this up to the minute thriller… Keeps the reader on the edge of his seat!” – The Mirror Magazine (London)

“Hynd is a few notches above the Ludlums and Clancys of the world.” – Booklist
