Arnold Falls is a small town in upstate New York filled with people who went a little further north than they planned: eccentrics, rat-race refugees, artists, self-promoters, self-medicators, the kind and the cranky, the brilliant and the dim, the delightful and those who should be avoided at all costs.
Jeebie, a voiceover artist, isn’t looking for love. He’s too busy helping his pal, Jenny, become the first female mayor of the town; rescuing Chaplin, a much-loved turkey, from a dastardly diva chef’s Thanksgiving plans; and battling a proposed tire factory by the Hudson River. But Jeebie gets increasingly distracted by Will, the farmer’s market apple seller, whose charms leave him more befuddled by the day.
This comedic novel, “as funny as it cozy” (BlueInk), threads together a town full of characters, agendas, plots and counter-plots, leaving it up to Jeebie and his pals to restore the right kind of disorder in a town that always does the right thing…after exhausting all other possibilities.
Arnold Fall is a place where friendships, community, and love at least have a fighting chance. “A tale that will make readers want to move to the author’s heartwarming fictional town.” (Kirkus)

The adventure story of a geologist, Roger Hunt, who bemoans and lives with the loss of his family, which resulted from a fatefully lengthy battle with his devils, and of a chance reunion with an old acquaintance and alter ego that eventually leads him back to the Alaskan wilderness, ten years ago during his excursion, is told in “The Seven Magnificent Mind-Sets of Success: Adventures With The Magnificent Mind-Man.” by Russ Hamblin. One of several things that makes this book valuable and a must-read is Mr. Hamblin’s superb and comprehensive storytelling. It offers a fresh perspective on motivating literature.
It takes readers on a journey from inspirational messages to thrilling experiences, replete with all the elements people would expect to find in a book. He leads the audience on perilous and exhilarating journeys of soul-searching in quest of achievement. The tale follows a deep journey of human fragility, self-discovery, confrontation, truth, redemption, forgiveness, and betterment – as well as techniques for achieving and surpassing all of these goals, in the form of the Seven Magnificent Mind-Sets of Success.
The message is more than a fictional story about motivational and success principles. Rather, the message is all about second chances in life; that it is never too late to make changes. One of the most important ideas discussed is that the roads that lead to the greatest successes in life are often paved with the foundational stones of many setbacks, disappointments, and failures that one must experience in order to gain the perspective needed to grow and attain sustainable joy and happiness.

The MV Militobi, a German rescue ship, teeming with 600 Arab, African, and South Asian migrants, patrols the Mediterranean Sea and learns that all European ports refuse entry to asylum-seekers. Captain Anna Kruger has a decision to make: return immediately to the nearest port to place passengers in a detention camp for deportation or head to an uncharted island she found on an old map as a temporary solution.
Santa Inez Island is a paradise with plenty of food, water, and shelter and is already the home of hundreds of migrants. Modern-day pirates, led by Commandant Rafael Delgado, kidnap Captain Kruger and thirty female passengers as soon as they set foot on the island. The remaining ship’s crew is given one month to bring back a million Euro ransom or the hostages will be put to death! Under the cover of darkness, First Officer Jorge Estrada, leads the crew back to mount a rescue. Unarmed and undermanned, he must persuade all three villages, segregated by Delgado’s men on the island, to join him or the rescue will fail. His challenge?

Fast-paced and entertaining, Finding Eden and its complementary additions (audio clips and deleted chapters) make for an elegantly constructed and timely story of the monumental challenges facing asylum-seekers today and the people who give their lives to help them.
