Book Description
Angelina (Angie) Aranyi was only eleven years old but far ahead both mentally and physically of her peers. She was raised in a strict household in Budapest, Hungary, but she dreamed about experiencing a quieter village life. Her dream came true when her mother met a peasant woman whose granddaughter was the same age as Angie. To her surprise, her parents allowed her to spend her long school break with the Nagy family in the village of Kisegres. Her entire world changes when she encounters not only a different culture and religion but also her host familys nephew, an incredibly handsome boy named Joe, who immediately fell in love with Angie, a feeling that was mutual. The off-and-on romance continues for six summers and a winter that she spent at her host familys rural home. Being a beautiful young girl, she is being courted by other young men who mistake her for being much older, but Joe always managed to work his way back into her heart, until Angie met a soldier named Andy. Joes bad temper and jealousy cast a dark shadow on Angie and Andys new romance. Angie knew that a hard decision was ahead of her; she had to choose between her first love and uncertain future with Joe, or the steady and deeply loving Andy who would do just about anything for her. Angie could have never imagined that when she makes her final decision at age sixteen, it would send her on an unexpected and incredible journey in life.

Book Description
The Canterbury Trail brings together a motley collection of ski bums, hippies, yuppies, poseurs and snowmobile-riding rednecks on a late winter trip into the mountains around the fictional Coalton, B.C. Coalton is a close fit with Abdou's home of Fernie, a powder-skiing haven that uneasily combines an economic base of coal mining with a mountain escape for Calgary's moneyed classes.

Book Description
“Chava, I expect you to keep your promise,” said my mother. I promised her that I would return a pebble that I illegally took from the historic Israeli fortress called Masada. I did not suspect that my second trip there held surprises of biblical proportion for me. After being invited into the home of the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Rebbe Fleischmann told me the story of his marriage, and of his first-born son, Emanuel, who was running for Governor of Pennsylvania. At the Rebbe’s request, my friend Angela and I contacted Emanuel in Bethlehem, PA, who then took me into his confidence. Emanuel performed a miracle on live TV, and it woke the Vatican’s curiosity. The Pope took Emanuel and I with him to Jerusalem, where the Pope asked him to perform a test. After passing the test, Emanuel began to receive multiple threats from drug cartels, opposing his war against them. After a vicious attack, it was confirmed that Emanuel’s life was in imminent danger, but somehow a person from my past managed to intercept the first attackers. Was Emanuel truly the person he claimed to be or was he an impostor? What about the miracles he performed? Never in a million years did I think what followed, something so extraordinary, that humankind needed to take an inventory on their faith in a Higher Power, and a deep look inside their soul to find forgiveness for doubting Emanuel.

Book Description
I may be the villain of the story, but at least I get a leading role. Evil is a term thrown around history and literature as if it's something so easily definable. A concept to fight against. Evil doesn’t exist. Neither does ‘good.’ Vampires do, though. I just happen to be one. I’ve cruised through the centuries managing to avoid all the wars, supernatural and human, but still going to all the best parties. I would say I avoided bloodshed, but it’s kind of part of the whole ‘vampire’ thing. I’ve lived on the fringes of a society that considered cruelty and sadism favorable character traits for almost five hundred years. Now I'm in the middle of a war that might just put my nonbeating heart in a lot of danger. Battles, I can handle. The impossible attraction between me and the vampire slayer, not to mention the penetrating gaze of the king of our race, on the other hand? I might not get out undead.
