“My husband, Anatoliy, and I are in bed, but we dare not sleep…These dangerous days, sleep comes only in short intervals and only when I’m so tired that I lose focus temporarily. The respite never lasts long. The threat of violence keeps us on a razor’s edge so thin we can feel it cutting our skin.”
So begins the harrowing experience of Karina Yesayeva Khachatorian and her family as they endured seven days of hell, as Azerbaijanis (or Azeris as they’re called locally) targeted Armenians living in the cosmopolitan city of Baku.
Baku had been a peaceful blending of many nationalities. But on the eve of the collapse of the mighty Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (better known as the USSR), the unrest between the Azeris and Armenians planted by Stalin seventy-years prior erupted into a violent pogrom, killing at least ninety Armenians, injuring countless others.
Genocidal violence, however, never occurs in a vacuum. Shadows Over Baku pulls apart the history, the mindset, and the deep roots of distrust that catapulted Khachatorian’s beloved city into violence.
Caught in the crossfire, this is one of—if the only—eye-witness account of the events of that harrowing time.

When Shakuntala Rajagopal lost her husband of forty-seven years in 2010, she was devastated. A devout Hindu, she followed what she had learned since birth. Her family celebrated their beloved father, uncle, and mentor through the many rituals sending him off to his new life. Shakuntala even travelled to India to lovingly give her husband’s ashes to the oceans off the southern coast of India.
As her husband’s last ashes floated away, Shaku felt her will to go on float away with him. At the age of seventy, she decided that she needed to revisit her own devout spirituality and take one of the more grueling but one of the most spiritual of all pilgrimages in India—the Char Dham—where she could bathe in the sacred waters of the River Ganges, Maa Ganga. She knew it would be her chance for a rebirth, a new beginning. But she almost doesn’t make it.
Song of the Mountains: My Pilgrimage to Maa Ganga is a story of survival, changing and challenging any reader in the way he or she approaches major changes in life. Rajagopal’s story is one that will empower the reader to take action and go forward in their own life, whatever the circumstance they are facing.

The saying is a mantra for those who live, breathe and obsess over their motorcycles. Bryan
Hall got his first motorcycle license at age 18 on a friend’s Vespa motor scooter, and has never
looked back. Over the past 46 years, he has owned seven motorcycles, including five Harleys,

Bryan weaves an enthralling and emotional tale of his return to the road he loves.
“The Long Road Home” is a refreshing, intimate and inspirational memoir. It’s

United States and Freedom and the Liberty to choose our own paths. Yes. It’s all
that.”

Triumph Over Failure and Fear: Finding Your Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Paperback – May 14th, 2021

When you feel overwhelmed, overworked, and not sure what to do … It’s time to dig deep and find your resiliency. But how?
Sally Allen was a statistic waiting to happen. Born into a toxic environment, forced into an arranged marriage, and being sexually abused left her in a chronic state of fear and insecurity. The worst part, however, was the bondage that she created for herself-in her mind. Allen had no idea the life she led wasn’t normal. She allowed her circumstances to define who she was. She was powerless.
Through a series of events, she found her power. She discovered how to be resilient. Through the power of resilience, she made the paradigm shift: from victim to survivor, from lack of self-esteem to boldness and bravery, from people-fearing to God-fearing. From her journey of finding resilience, Allen discovered a process, and that’s the backbone of what you will read. With it, you can find your own resilience and rewrite your story the way you want!
