 Barbara Gates, Already Home: A Topography of Spirit and Place, Shambhala Publications, June 2003

In the tradition of Terry Tempest Williams's Refuge, this is a moving and contemplative journey of discovery in which the narrator explores the terrain both of the streets and of the spirit, artfully bridging the inner and outer worlds of experience.

Barbara Gates takes the reader on a journey that redefines the terrain of home. Her memoir explores themes of love and family, home and homelessness, neighborhood and lost wilderness-and in the process, she reveals how to be more at home in life.

Triggered by a diagnosis of breast cancer and the accompanying recognition of mortality, she follows an intuition that her own life is an expression of the changing terrain-a vast and ongoing exchange. In pursuit of this idea, she researches far-ranging facets of her surroundings: the geological history of the bay and hills, the history of her house and her neighborhood including the 4,500 years of a native American shell-mound.

Through the lens of Buddhism, Gates inspires readers to take on the vast view of the evolution of the places where they live, to see into the heartache and grace of daily life-to find for themselves that any moment can open up to reveal that we are already home.

Eager to prove his worth, Brendan hopes to gain advancement in his new post. But when Lord Robert sends him on an illicit mission to the King's younger sister, Princess Elizabeth, Brendan soon discovers that nothing in his world is as it appears.

A vengeful opponent stalks the Princess, intent on her destruction.

 Claire Vedensky Korn, Flashes and Lies, Creative Arts Book Co, May 2002, ISBN 0887393926, $14.95

From Booklist: No matter how old a woman is or how old her parent may be, the mother-daughter dynamic can be as contentious as it is caring, as tender as it is traumatic. Such is the relationship of Theodora "Teddie" Olds and her mother, celebrated photographer Thea Waterford. Though Teddie is now a menopausal, middle-aged matron and her mother a cantankerous octogenarian, unresolved issues from Teddie's vagabond childhood haunt her as she doggedly pursues the affirmation and affection Thea denied her as a child. Emboldened by hormonal fluctuations, Teddie's "change of life" emotional turmoil provides the catalyst for a deathbed confrontation. Scenes of menopausal misery are realistically interposed with the traumatic drama of erupting emotions, filial duty, and the unexpected reality of caring for an elderly parent. Although it suffers from a surfeit of subplots teeming with an eccentric cross section of society (philandering husband, anorexic sister, gay son, punk daughter) and hot-button issues (AIDS, alcoholism, infidelity), the central parent-child conflict is faithfully, and often painfully, presented.

 Danna Troncatty Leahy, Ciao Bambino! A Child's Tour of Italy, Authorhouse, October 31, 2004, ISBN 1420800825, $19.25

With a four year old son and a one year old daughter, my personal goal was to write a book for preschoolers that exposed them to Italian language and cultural novelties, but was more than another picture dictionary. It had to be fun and engage the preschooler with familiar things from home, while sharing novelties from another country. Beautifully illustrated in original watercolor art, the 36 page book shares a tour of Italy through a child's scrapbook. Throughout the fictional story, the young boy and his teddy bear travel companion share their travel adventure, and teach twenty five Italian words along the way. Fantastico!

 Carol Mickelsen, Camping Europe 2nd Edition, Carousel Pr; 2nd edition, May 10, 2001, $19.95

From Library Journal:A professional chef who runs a bed-and-breakfast in Half Moon Bay, CA, Mickelsen has led a life that most people can only dream about. In this follow-up to her Camping Your Way Through Europe, once again shares her secrets on how to get the most out of 21 countries in Europe, ranging from France to Slovenia, without spending a fortune. (Only about ten percent of the material in this book can be found in the previous book.) The way to go, she advises, is car camping, a travel method that involves renting a car, stocking it with some well-chosen supplies, practicing common sense for safety, and never ceasing to be amazed at what each country has to offer. Mickelsen doesn't hesitate to use adjectives such as exhilarating, magical, majestic, and exotic to describe her adventures. But these are not just filler words they provide a glimpse into the joy and passion that this enthusiastic traveler brings with her on her travels. Indeed, her love for exploring the unknown is infectious, and anyone who reads this book will be tempted to follow in her car tracks. Highly recommended for all public libraries."

100 Words Per Minute Adina Sara, 100 Words Per Minute: Tales From Behind Law Office Doors, Regent Press, 2006, ISBN 1587900920

An intimate look inside the quirky world of law offices, 100 Words Per Minute exposes tyrannical and tired litigators along with their devoted, sometimes-devious secretaries. In a series of short stories connected by smart poetic jabs, the book follows Author Adina Sara’s 25-year career through the legal mine field as a naïve clerk typist, stressed-out secretary and office manager in non-profit, small plaintiff and corporate environs. "The hook of my connection to legal work was so gentle that I never noticed when the jab actually went in, twisted, and then lodged itself resolutely for the remainder of my working years."

"A masterpiece of workplace sociology! To begin with, Sara is an absolutely amazing writer: the poetry throughout, even in the prose, is stunningly beautiful. And the service she has provided to clerical workers and their bosses by writing 100 Words Per Minute is immeasurable and invaluable."
