Some of modern history’s best books have taken their inspiration from the most unlikely of places. In the case of Barbara Woster, a 2013 holiday car trip to pick the perfect tree fell silent when ten-year-old Karina proclaimed, “Wouldn’t it be cool if there were a purple Christmas tree?”. While most parents would brush this off with a chuckle, Woster’s author-centric mind was sent racing, culminating in a new children’s book that is set to become a holiday hit.

At times of great stress and grief, people find therapy and solace often in the most unlikely of places.

John C. Lukegord made waves in the horror genre earlier this year with the release of ‘The Haunted Trail’ series, focusing on a disastrous Dublin Woods which has become a playground for killings by residents of a local mental hospital.

Even with today’s sometimes unfathomable advances in technology, many terminally ill persons and their family members believe that chasing curative care is their only option, and are unaware of both the benefits and accessibility of hospice care. In her new book, Social Worker Annie Clara Brown tells her own story of working with hundreds of terminally ill patients, and provides a vital guide to those considering hospice care for themselves or a loved one.

While nobody can deny the fantasy genre’s obvious boom of late, readers and critics alike are crying out for wholly-unique new narratives that don’t succumb to recycling of the ‘same-old’ concepts. Author Charles Carfagno Jr. has answered the call with gusto, melding everything that is great about epic fantasy with a narrative so in-depth and vivid that it almost reads like a movie.

While every child loves to cook, most parents don’t appreciate the encrusted flour in their hair, broken crockery and the six-hour investment it takes to make a dozen sugar cookies. Not to mention, many of these supposed ‘child-friendly’ recipes result in thousands of injuries each year as kids discover how sharp knives really are, and just how hot an oven can get.

Peter H. Sust and his family were some of the lucky few; escaping Cuba for the United States before Castro’s regime ruined their lives and their native country.

Now, looking back at his tumultuous yet ultimately-exemplary life, Sust has put pen to paper to share his story and inspire the world.
