Book Description
Read the USA Today bestseller from the author of Roses, a "sumptuous, full-bodied, and emotional" novel about five young spies embedded among the highest Nazi ranks in occupied Paris (Adriana Trigiani, NYT bestselling author of Tony's Wife). At the height of World War II, a handful of idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the government, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds -- a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer -- all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of her or his own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly. Thus begins a dramatic cat-and-mouse game, as the group seeks to stay under the radar until a fatal misstep leads to the capture and the firing-squad execution of one of their team. But is everything as it seems, or is this one more elaborate act of spycraft?

Book Description
Paul is stunned when his foster son Herman tells him about the awfully devastating news concerning his gay hooker friend Jonathan, who was found dead with his head lying in a pool of orange liquid. Four bizarre physiological phenomena, each lasting four days, preceded his death. Paul's research discovers two other gay teenage male hookers who died under similar circumstances as Jonathan, and all three dead teenagers had four letters tattooed on their chests. They were all sixteen years old. The clues to the decoding of the tattooed letters are revealed in Paul's dreams, and are connected to a cave, which boasts a huge water hole with the promise of treasure, where Paul played with his childhood friend Leon, and to an army Barracks where grotesque experiments where carried out by an army psychologist to try and change the sexual orientation of homosexuals. A priest with a secret past, a woman who communicates with the dead, a ritual involving a corpse and a special seed taken from Jonathan's corpse plunges Paul into a struggle against time and evil to try and save Herman from being trapped in an irreversible curse which could destroy his life forever.

Book Description
Dragonfly Tomorrows & Dog-eared Yesterdays is D.L. Lang's 9th poetry collection. It is comprised of over 100 pages of inspirational, personal, fictional, and political poetry. It contains the poems "The Sixties" and "Lift Off!" which received blue ribbons at the 2017 Marin County Fair, and "Expectations of a Future" which was awarded a Silver Award rosette at the 2017 Alameda County Fair. Author D.L. Lang's masterful "Dragonfly Tomorrows and Dog-eared Yesterdays" proves just exactly why the talented Author has been crowned poet laureate of California state in the city of Vallejo, leaving us in complete awe with some of the most immaculate verses and compassionate words! An ingenious visionary and virtuous human moral-compass, Lang makes writing poetry seem effortless, hypnotizing us with fantasy-like analogies that cleverly unravel meaningful and philosophical multi-layered themes. Each theme underlines and mirrors many different colors and faces of life and humanity. Author D.L. Lang's lovely portraits of inspiration captivate us with beautiful, provoking portrayals of art that appear to symbolize strengths such as ambition, creation and imagination, yet and still, her picturesque illustrations don't shy her away from exposing her core, jagged, blunt truth one bit. This ironic combination or blend of visual beauty, art and graphics is even more compelling when interwoven with personal, societal and collective humanistic ideas and theories near to the Author's heart. We're extremely pleased to present this book with a 5-star rating and encourage you to get your copy today, you won't be let down. We enjoyed the read and believe you will, too! Original work, Author D.L. Lang, that will surely stand the tests of time --Excerpt of Realistic Poetry International's 5 Star Review
