With Rocks and Stones and Trees by Erol Rashit

About With Rocks and Stones and Trees by Erol Rashit

Free Promotion: October 6 & 7, 2021

Images exploring the extraordinary in the ordinary: meditations on the nature of existence.

The title of the collection derives from the last line of a poem by William Wordsworth:

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth’s diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.

I Shall Return with Winter

About I Shall Return with Winter

DEFY FATE. DEFY GODS. DEFY EVERYONE.

When Oben’s farm is sacked by marauding Skalgs, he embarks on a deadly quest for revenge, leaving pious Edale behind to enter the godless north.

But Skaligar is a strange place, and his enemies are full of surprises, which will push his endurance and his faith to their limits. He finds himself an unwitting pawn in their ancient prophecy; one which tells of a Conduit who will deliver Edale into their hands.

If Oben is to see his homeland again, he must not only survive, he must prove the prophecy wrong, whilst exacting vengeance on those to whom he grows ever more bound.

Sale price $3.00 10/2/21 – 10/25/21

The most terrible criminals…have long memories.

Now that the threat of a war between England and France has been foiled, life can flow in peace again.
Malet and Elise are planning their Christmas wedding.

Larouche has found a place to live, where he can earn some money and, perhaps, find an occupation that will suit him. Since his employer and landlord is in no hurry to make him work, Larouche has a chance to learn about medicine while dealing with a pack of students with mayhem on their mind.

And then chaos descends as a police precinct is attacked by insurgents and its Chief Inspector is killed.

Malet’s investigation leads him to some revolutionary students and, perhaps, a would-be master criminal who views Malet as a threat to be exterminated along with anyone he values. Suddenly the people that Malet holds dear are being attacked, and it is clear that he is marked for assassination, himself.

As the situation grows more dangerous, Elise is planning for their wedding, and Malet, under protective custody, is dealing with a troupe of bodyguards apparently recruited from the Sureté.

.…And who are the Watchers in the Shadows?

It should be a hectic Christmas.

Alabama Grandson: A Black, Gay Minister’s Passage Out of Hiding

About Alabama Grandson: A Black, Gay Minister’s Passage Out of Hiding

Southern. Black. Gay. Fatherless. Air Force Veteran. Ordained Methodist Minister. Master of hiding in plain sight. Cedrick Bridgeforth knows what it means to hold, hide, and wrestle with all of these identities. For years Cedrick had taken great pains to shield his full truth from the world. Then one day, at the height of his career, his entire universe came crashing down.

Equal parts preacher, poet, confessor, and consummate storyteller, Alabama Grandson chronicles Cedrick’s hard-fought journey to come to terms with the hidden and sometimes conflicting parts of himself. Bookended by poignant letters to his grandmother, Cedrick vulnerably depicts the suffering caused by denying his truth:

You were the most influential person in my life. Yet as much as I admired and appreciated you,
I did not trust you enough to say to you: “I am gay.”

This memoir will bring you along for a compelling and multidirectional journey into the past in order to point the way forward. All the while, Cedrick elegantly models that there are different paths to living a fully authentic life and different ways of being a leader and agent of change in today’s world.

Eat My Meat – A Beginners Field Dressing Guide For Small Game by Pat Gatz

Eat My Meat – A Beginners Field Dressing Guide For Small Game by Pat Gatz

How to start field dressing like a pro in no time — even if you’re a complete beginner

Hunting has always been an essential skill for our survival.

But somewhere along the way, we became less in touch with the ancient practices of our species, and this essential skill has been outsourced to only a select few.

This surely has its advantages, but it also comes with many unnecessary problems that affect you and your family.

Unfortunately, you are no longer in control of the kind of meat you eat, and you definitely can’t be sure of its quality.

And it’s for this exact reason that so many people are waking up and realizing the value of more traditional ways of sourcing their food.

If this sounds like you, and if you’re a person who loves the great outdoors and has a growing interest in hunting, then you’ve come to the right place.

With the right tools and step-by-step guidance, you can discover all there is to know about small game and uncover the right ways to field dress, skin, butcher, and preserve your hunt for safe consumption.

Besides it being an opportunity to discover the great wonders of the natural world and its fantastic wildlife, hunting is also a great way to improve a number of virtues such as patience, confidence, responsibility, and emotional control.

Most importantly, you will gain a true sense of self-respect, respect for everything around you, and for your role in nature.

In Eat My Meat, renowned hunter and Native Indian Pat Gatz takes you on an incredible journey through the hunting world, providing you with a unique training experience that will have you field dressing like a pro in no time.

The Road Remembered by Kaye D. Schmitz

In the final months of World War II, Sam Ryan is trained to kill as a new soldier in the 89th Infantry Division on the front lines in Europe.
