Margaret (Maggie) Wright, author of Bringing Back the Magic: A Transformational Memoir can be described as a rare bird who is particularly well-informed on the African Grey parrot, however, as she points out, she prefers to be called eccentric because her heart opens so much to animals in general.

What's uncommon about this book is that its author touts letter writing as the best promotional tool. Letters? Remember those?

On a bus ride home from school eight year old Joseph Niezgoda first learnt about The Beatles. They were going to be appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show and Joseph was determined to watch it. Niezgoda, who was an instant a fan, writes fondly of his love for the band. It seemed that the fresh-faced boys from Liverpool had not only built up a huge fan base in Britain but also in America.

Title: An Insomniac’s Dream
Author's Name: Kelly Moran
ISBN: 1413773443
Publisher's Name: Publish America
Kelly Moran’s An Insomniac’s Dream (Publish America, December 2005) is just the kind of book that matches its title throughout its content and style – a half-dreamy mode of story-telling, one which makes you question the meaning of the word ‘real’. A collection of 30 poems and 7 short stories, the book explores the paranormal phenomena by palpable characters in the stories and a number of uneasy feelings in the poetry.

In A Hotel in Paris, Minola Grey has gone to Paris to immerse herself in art in an effort to refocus her life after a painful breakup with a man she had loved. She teaches art at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts, fulfills consignments for portraits, sketches scenes around the city, and soaks up inspiration from the breathtaking view of Notre Dame, picturesque Luxembourg Gardens, and the Rodin Museum. Just as she thinks she is regaining her equilibrium, her world is upended by the murder of Lord Yardleigh in the hotel suite near hers, and the subsequent arrival of Interpol Chief Inspector Peter Riley. Minola is irresistibly drawn to the mystery surrounding Yardleigh’s death, and equally captivated by Peter Riley.
