My Friend Sam Author: Charles Reap
Because Sam, egocentric and self-centered, continually takes advantage of him, Harry harbors a deep-seated resentment. Yet, Harry has a persistent and childlike need to retain him as his "best friend." He and his wife, Barbara, watch as Sam repeatedly generates silly and foolish projects and missteps that have zany and humorous results. He frequently expects Harry's help, but ignores his advice. One day, however, something happens that turns Sam's life around and his outlook is radically altered. Sensing this change in attitude, Harry -- better known by Sam as Hank -- also has an awakening. He grows into a more self-confident man, as his suggestions to Sam for a lifestyle change are finally accepted. This novel is available from Amazon, B&N, Borders, BAM, as well as ReadAReap.Com. |

My Name As A Prayer Author: Sheridan Hill
Publisher:
ISBN 978-0-9791355-0-7
Price: $12.95
Available: Amazon.com, Borders, The Muses  Troyanne Ross was an eccentric and humorous charm school owner in Charlotte, NC, who never relinquished her dream of being a star -- even on her deathbed. Sheridan Hill, a Black Mountain author, has published an intimate memoir chronicling the emotional healing and patient-caretaker challenges that she experienced with her mother, Troyanne Ross, during her mother's last year of life.
My Name As A Prayer begins with a hilarious chapter of mother-daughter angst and eventually moves to end-of-life issues. Ross was a prominent figure in the state in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s as one of the country's first weather women on WSOC-TV, a frequent star in Little Theatre productions, and the owner of the city's first modeling and personal development school. "A wonderful book! Hill has a huge talent...very sharp at the detail level, exceptionally deft dialogue, daring self-revelations...a magnificent job."
-- Robert Franklin, Founder, McFarland & Company "Extremely skillful and moving writing. The mother's ramblings are a genuine revelation of a level of meaning not accessible to ordinary discourse."
-- Ann Deagon "An observant, wry, loving...memoir about caring for her mother -- an irrepressible Charlotte charm schoolteacher -- during the last year of her mother's life."
-- Rob Newfeld, Asheville Citizen-Times |

Hat's Off!
Hats Off! to Erika Hoffman, whose piece, initially called “Colossal Giant,” has had a name change and a status change. It was a finalist; now it is definitely in Not Your Mother’s Book …on Travel and has been rechristened “Rhodes Scholar.” |
