867-5309 Jenny by Alex Call - "From his early days in the band CLOVER with Huey Lewis, John McFee and the lads, to his amazing solo career, Alex has always had the gift of words to accompany his incredible voice. Now he's used that gift to pen an incredible new book that reveals more of his storytelling genius.”
Jeff Watson - Songriter, Guitarist - Night Ranger
The Lighthouse Society by Jerry Graffam - "In this promising debut novel by Jerry Graffam, the dark side of Maine shines through - not vacation land at all, but a place of sinister plots and chilling secrets.”
Tess Gerritsen - New York Times Bestselling author of The Bone Garden, Harvest, and the Rizzoli & Isles series of novels.Parodies of the Fall by Thomas Grissom - "Grissom looks us in the eye and courageously walks us through those windows into the most intimate recesses of his extremely fascinating soul".
Bill Ransom - Poet and Novelist867-5309 Jenny by Alex Call - "Alex drives his story straight through the heart of rock & roll."
Huey Lewis - Huey Lewis and the NewsThe Lighthouse Society by Jerry Graffam - "Tightly written and fast paced, Graffam captures the sense of mystery that often surrounds the dark waters of the Maine coast. And don't mind that shadowy figure by the lighthouse. It's probably nothing. Probably."
Angus King - US Senator - MaineOld Souls by Jonathan Womack - "I began reading Old Souls at a time when I was under tremendous pressure due to heavy academic work. I said to myself I would read a few pages every week but when I started reading Old Souls, it was ‘unputtable’. I read the book for 2 straight days. Very engrossing and kept me asking for more. Many pages were so powerful it created a vivid 3D imaginary in my head - I felt I was there physically witnessing the story unfold! Old Souls is much more than a work of fiction. It is a courageous reminder of the true nature and higher purpose of our existence."
Vishnu Karthik - Co-Founder - Heritage Schools, IndiaParodies of the Fall by Thomas Grissom - "Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor grills the silent Christ in a prison in Seville. Camus, in The Fall, ensnares the reader in a web of second guesses which is shared with his guiltstricken lawyer Clamence. In Parodies of the Fall, Thomas Grissom extends this tradition of painful confession and tragedy. His courteous and rather stuffy narrator invites his nightly guest to take a seat and have a drink with him in a bar somewhere in the American southwest. The mountain air is crisp at dusk, and the view of the setting sun seems to loosen the host’s tongue. But like his masters, Dostoevsky and Camus, Grissom muzzles the guest, gently forcing him to hear his narrator’s story. It’s the tale, told as monologue, of a brilliant young idealist who becomes a prominent scientist in one of the government’s nuclear weapons laboratories. The reader soon finds himself sitting silent in the guest’s chair night after night, by turns in awe of the moral courage of a man who said No! to the criminal enterprise of the nuclear weapons state, exasperated at his stand-pat resignation in the face of relentless media reports of mass human suffering, and, not least, marveling at his rebirth. Parodies of the Fall cuts deep. Its ironies are unclever, for all they do is expose the reader’s numbness at the imminent threat of man-made annihilation."
David Marr - Member of the Faculty Emeritus in the Humanities - The Evergreen State College867-5309 Jenny by Alex Call - "Read this and you'll realize music has been a passport, an occasional alibi, and something to catch you when you fall."
