An Extra Curly Tale

Hungary managed to avoid war in its homeland for significantly longer than its neighboring countries and remained one of the safest places until late in the war. After the Nazi occupation in 1944, that all changed. The Hungarian army invaded Yugoslavia and Russia, but after massive losses of Hungarian soldiers, Hungary was now in Russia’s crosshairs. The story’s first half chronicles the life of a young girl named Anoosh, who lived in Hungary during World War II. She experiences things no child should ever endure. Anoosh and some friends and family members are eventually forced to leave the only home her family has ever known and start a new life in America.

The simple life of living on a farm in a small village may have been idyllic until the horrors of war came crashing in. The young girl was to suffer what we now call PTSD. Certain sights and sounds would trigger these bad memories well into her old age.

 Follow Anoosh’s fascinating journey. You’ll sometimes smile, perhaps laugh at her special moments with her beloved pets. Her remarkable pig with an extra curly tail will highlight many milestones throughout her story. Other times, you’ll be sad, even angry. It’s a journey worth taking.

You’ll also meet an assassin with a heart of gold, who is essential to the family’s survival in Hungary and Germany. The Tale continues in America, featuring both heartwarming and heartbreaking moments in the Hungarian woman’s life. Many of these people could be someone you know. We hope you enjoy the surprising turns in this extra-curly tale.

Vanished Beauty

Trials and Tribulations.

These are the things life is flooded with: disappointments, heartbreaks, and setbacks. These things can be quite annoying and bewildering.

However, it is not necessary to pick up arms and fight against the current. A shift in perspective with a calm mental attitude can be a more promising guidance.

Endeavor to stop and think. Re-evaluate what and where things spun out of control. Life is always in perpetual motion, just like the rise and fall of the ocean waves. To be steadfast is to view circumstances, both pleasant and otherwise, with revered detachment.

Fatal Omens

The European “war to end all wars” was a catastrophe decades in the making. The prophetic voices of alienated writers and artists in Central Europe were at the turn of the twentieth century divining the end of modernity while seeking cultural and spiritual renewal. Cracks in the optimistic liberal order of the European Age were coming apart and ceding to darker forces.

Against this backdrop, historical novelist Stephen Almássy foregrounds the lives of Archduke Charles of Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and Croatia and Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma. Their marriage before the Great War culminates during the war when they become the last Emperor and Empress of Austria-Hungary under the Habsburg scepter. The old Central European dynasty, the last outpost in Europe of the imperium sacrum, falls on the day, November eleventh, 1918, when the war comes to an uncertain end.

Burnt Cove

When Rose O’Reilly White, a respected member of the small-town Deer Isle, Maine, community, died at age 97, she left many secrets, some monstrous and others magical, including her first love, a young woman who died in a tragic fire in 1942. This woman was her teacher; Rose was a teenager. Another secret was her later long involvement with an African-American woman. A third was her poisoning and killing a Catholic priest of many years ago after Rose learned he was a serial pedophile and wanted to prevent him from abusing other victims.

Rose’s husband, Bill, another respected member of the Deer Isle community, knew and accepted all this. But unlike others who die leaving secrets, Rose left a key to open them, and her filmmaker son Jack brings them to light as he sets out to produce a documentary of her life—an endeavor that reunites him with his first love, with whom he had a daughter unbeknownst to him until they are together again.

A novel unlike any other, Burnt Cove artfully blends horror, supernatural, dark fantasy, time travel, love, death, and mystical resurrection.

Falling

Feelings are what make us alive; experiencing fear or anger is normal. Having some sad moments or even hate is so human, but love is the most powerful thing. I believe with love we can change lives, and we could have a meaningful life. Love makes challenges easier and opens doors and gives us power to face hard moments and bad complicated conspiracies.

To be honest, I love love; just the idea makes me thankful. That’s why I like to share it and talk about it with trust and hope. And what makes it exciting for me is when we find it in the strangest moment, and just the two persons involved feel it logically, like they were waiting for it.

Maybe my story is fiction, but the feelings are real.

Inheritance of Silence

Silence has a way of shaping us. It can wound, conceal, and suffocate—but it can also become the spark that ignites transformation.

Inheritance of Silence is not just a novel; it’s an invitation to step into the fragile spaces where grief collides with strength and where loss becomes the unexpected teacher of resilience.

John Erik Dunnam weaves a narrative that is as unflinching as it is luminous, pulling readers into a world where identity is reclaimed piece by piece, and survival is not just about enduring but about awakening.

At its heart, this is a story of confronting the shadows we inherit—whether from family, circumstance, or silence itself—and choosing, against all odds, to carve out light.

For anyone who has carried the weight of unspoken pain, who has struggled to be heard in a world that prefers quiet compliance, this book resonates as both a mirror and a beacon.

Inheritance of Silence promises not only to captivate but also to leave you changed—stirred, challenged, and inspired to find your own voice in the echoes.

Meghan and Martin Break the Rules

This novel, like the earlier one, Meghan and Beth discover, It’s a Men’s World, the underlying theme that women are people. People who often are not allowed to oversee their own sexuality.

Nature has programmed humans’ life force toward reproduction, although that force can be directed toward many goals, good or bad for society.

Gender expectations can even lead to ignoring the presence of women in the street, in meetings, and in organizational plans.

Cultural definitions are often unconscious, may facilitate, but often interfere with relationships between men and women. These unconscious gender prescriptions show up early in the novel as Meghan and Martin return from their honeymoon and set up their apartment. Gender issues show up at work in sexism. Racism intertwines with sexism in the book.

The Prophet of Dust

Arik Delvin never asked to be a prophet. A jaded conman surviving among ruins and superstition in the post-apocalyptic Wastes, he earns his keep by spinning false miracles for desperate souls. But when his lies accidentally come true, the Wastes begin to whisper his name. Now, hunted by zealots, Hollowed wanderers, and a power older than faith itself, Arik must decide whether he’s been chosen… or cursed.

Beside him stands Mira, a silver-eyed survivor of rebellion burdened by guilt and faith; Nyra, a scarred fighter who once tried to burn prophecy out of the world; and Kevin, a goat far cleverer than he has any right to be. Together they cross a dying land where the sky bleeds ash, the dead still trade tea, and every step threatens to unravel what’s left of the Thread, the force holding everything together.

A thrilling blend of grim imagination and quick wit, The Prophet of Dust is a haunting tale of belief, betrayal, and survival in a world that has forgotten what it means to be saved.
