Pressed Pennies

by Steve Manchester
Paperback- 252 pages
List Price- $15.95
Publisher- Sunpiper Media Publishing
ISBN- 0977005046
Available: B&N.com, Amazon.com, local bookstores

Compared most to the work of Nicholas Sparks (with a touch of Mitch Albom), Pressed Pennies is a tale of connecting love stories, proving that the world really is a small place and that the trick is to cherish it by living each of its moments to the fullest.

Amid the heart-warming romances and deceitful twists and turns, Pressed Pennies tackles the trying issues associated with living in a non-traditional family. In an era of divorce and single-parenthood, it is a story about raising children and peacefully co-existing; making it work with mutual respect and consideration.

The book’s underlying theme is discovered in the evolution of the 80’s child. Though life begins as wholesome and innocent, technology quickly takes over. Suddenly, two parents must leave the home and go to work. Day care, fast food and a list of coveted luxuries replace long talks in porch swings, tree forts and family suppers.

The price for comfort proves very expensive, though, as the American family is traded in for the American dream.

Which is More Round, the World or Your Tummy?
Offbeat Reflections on Serious Living

By Leslie Miklosy
Publisher: iUniverse

A light-hearted and often quirky collection of approximately 200 original sayings, this book explores the universals of life, including temptation, creativity, upheaval, aging and the search for truth. Which is More Round, the World or your Tummy? is a playful and inspiring romp through the terrain of life’s challenges and opportunities. It offers one contemporary author’s midlife thoughts on maneuvering in the world, surviving and thriving, and making sense of it all.

"There is so much wisdom here that I feel I could pick this little book up time and time again and always find a new pathway to a thought."
-- Fred Chappell, Poet Laureate of North Carolina 1997-2002.

The Hobbomoch Heresy

Author: Gary Mims
Publisher: Publish America
ISBN: 1-4241-0273-1
$18.95

Atlanta Homicide Investigator Caitlyn Myers has no recollection of the day her world was stolen. She does not remember her horror-struck scream when her fiancé was shot point-blank in the face, nor the bullets that entered her own body, changing her life forever.

Resigned to a life of pharmaceuticals and paralysis, she was waiting for her turn to die. But now she has a reason to live. Her sister has been kidnapped by a killer who toys with them as if they were pawns in his sadistic game -- a bizarre quest that stretches from the halls of southern academia to the seediest of Georgia's underground.
