＜p＞Editorial Reviews＜br /＞ --＜br /＞ Having read for review Bloody Gullets and What I Did This Summer by Davey Fitz, (a short story related to the full novel, FiX) I, once again, have the distinct pleasure of introducing the brilliantly twisted mind of Michael Golvach to new readers. In the paranormal thriller FiX, David Fitz, a small time drug dealer, and his girlfriend, Juno, are on the run from David's boss. What they hoped would be witness protection turns into a set-up and David's boss, held for only twenty-four hours of questioning, is free and hot on their tail. From that point onward, the story turns into a serpentine tale of betrayal, new friendships with Cadence and Brent (whose personalities and talents are far deeper than meets the eye), violent paranormal events, murder, blood (lots of blood), and twists and turns enough to provide even the most jaded reader with an exciting and dizzying reading experience.＜br /＞ Golvach's skill in creating an illusory scene that reeks of reality is unparalleled by anyone I've read in the past, except the indomitable Edgar A. Poe. His characters come alive as everyday people with talents and shortcomings, trying their best to survive a hostile environment and eventuality that grows weirder and more complicated with every turn of the page. So much goes on, so fast in this story, it's impossible for me and my meager talents to describe. How Golvach keeps it all together and pulls every unimaginable facet into a tightly woven, beautifully executed story is beyond me. But you can trust me on this; you will never see what's coming, and that makes FiX a must-read story for every fan of paranormal / horror thrillers, crime mysteries and, believe it or not, a love story. - Lex Allen for Reader's Favorite International Book Awards＜br /＞ --＜br /＞ Anyone picking up a novel by Michael Golvach should know they are in the hands of a confident and clever writer with a distinctive literary voice. From Missing Pieces to Bloody Gullets he’s demonstrated his unwillingness to compromise when it comes to originality and Fix is no different. It's a bold move by any author to dabble in another genre but with its dark haunted undertones, this is one step change that works extraordinarily well. With its deliriously fast pace matched by the quality of Golvach’s writing, it proves a clever, intricate and intriguing novel that is a genuine joy to read, highly engaging and all but impossible to put down. As with his previous novels, there are detailed motives behind the conflict and competing agendas at work but the real stroke of genius in Fix is its flawed protagonist in David Fitz. On many levels, his character is a masterstroke which reflects the dark energy and gritty sense of realism that underpins the novel as a whole. It’s not a quick read, coming in at over 600 pages but with a diverse cast of characters, impressive dialogue, interplay and an ingenious multi-layered plot Fix is one read that’s over far too quick. (BookViral)＜br /＞ --＜br /＞ David Fitz, an addict and drug dealer, and his girlfriend, Juno, are eager to get clean and start a new life.＜br /＞ David agrees to turn on his boss in return for witness protection.

＜p＞Amalia is a teenager who falls madly in love with Zain, an older man, of a different culture and religion. However, when their love finally manages to surpass the beliefs of both of them, a well-kept secret is revealed and threatens to destroy it. ≪Amalia≫ is a poignant love story, a story of faith and courage which tells us that our most treasured dreams do come true. (Liza Karan, author)＜/p＞ ＜p＞“This love story is original, not at all conventional, meant to raise questions and even controversies. Only a few writers dare to describe a love story which begins in the least conventional ways, one that is usually reproved even by the common moral values. Moreover, the Romanian voice equally spiritual and describing of a metaphysical transformation, but also the heroine’s tribulations (her beliefs, premonitory dreams and even curses) place the novel more along the lines of Paulo Coelho than those of a Romanian writer.” (Alina Sarbu)＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Love, redemption and forgiveness make Amalia one of the best initiation and cultural novels I have read during the past years.” (Catalin Badea-Gheracostea)＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Alex Barteau, a professor of writing and literature, has returned to China after his two-year stint in Shan-An University and a one year stay in his US home in Atlanta. Now he is in southern China but working for an exchange program through a university in Indiana USA. Almost immediately he encounters problems because of communications misunderstanding between his home campus and this new (for him) university in southern China. He also has to work with a young female dean who is hostile to this program in her school because it is, technically, run by an American university that is awarding the final degree for successful students.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As it turns out, hostilities exist on all levels regarding who is in charge and, for example, how many textbooks must be used and the fact that Chinese administrators demand that they be bought in China instead of being sent from Indiana. In an extreme case, Alex is even accused of being disliked for his teaching style, something that is not verified, and of creating demands on the English Department -- demands that he did not make and were, in fact, made by a colleague from Indiana.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fortunately, Alex is able to remain in touch with a former British colleague in Shan-An and with a former Chinese girl friend with whom he had a sexual affair. The Chinese girl friend even visits him for a short time at one of his new universities. These contacts offer moral support and a sounding board for his problems. He is also able to keep in email contact with a former close friend in graduate school and now an instructor himself in a northern Kentucky university.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the next five years, Alex moves from one campus to another after his contract expires or after he sees a better offer with better, so he thinks, teaching opportunities. Along the way, he meets several new friends -- ladies and male students. However, he is forever haunted by the figurative dark specter over his shoulder＜br /＞ that seems to want to sabotage his experience as a "foreigner" teaching on campuses filled with "emperors" (spoiled young male students who are almost all guaranteed of graduation or an occupation because of his family's connections) and constant cheating which is often supported or overlooked by Chinese faculty members. He is often at odds with local faculty members, who resent his even being there, and with administrators, particularly when he pens an article about what it is like to teach in a Chinese educational institution.＜br /＞ (Characters from FORBIDDEN VOICES also appear in this follow-up novel.)＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This poignant memoir by Noah Lederman, the grandson of Holocaust survivors, transports readers from his grandparents’ kitchen table in Brooklyn to World War II Poland. In the 1950s, Noah’s grandparents raised their children on Holocaust stories. But because tales of rebellion and death camps gave his father and aunt constant nightmares, in Noah’s adolescence Grandma would only recount the PG version. Noah, however, craved the uncensored truth and always felt one right question away from their pasts. But when Poppy died at the end of the millennium, it seemed the Holocaust stories died with him. In the years that followed, without the love of her life by her side, Grandma could do little more than mourn.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After college, Noah, a travel writer, roamed the world for fifteen months with just one rule: avoid Poland. A few missteps in Europe, however, landed him in his grandparents’ country. When he returned home, he cautiously told Grandma about his time in Warsaw, fearing that the past would bring up memories too painful for her to relive. But, instead, remembering the Holocaust unexpectedly rejuvenated her, ending five years of mourning her husband. Together, they explored the memoriesーof Auschwitz and a half-dozen other camps, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the displaced persons campsーthat his grandmother had buried for decades. And the woman he had playfully mocked as a child became his hero.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I was left with the storiesーthe ones that had been hidden, the ones that offered catharsis, the ones that gave me a second hero, the ones that resurrected a family, the ones that survived even death. Their shared journey profoundly illuminates the transformative power of never forgetting.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞A mass murderer wants him dead. A mysterious faction of spandex-wearing crime-fighters wants to recruit him to their team. And his friends want him to lie low from all life-ending threats. What's a tennis star like Jimmy Knightly to do? Fight them all, of course. In this identity-shifting epic journey, Jimmy will travel the path between sports hero to superhero, whether he wants to or not.＜/p＞ ＜p＞On Day 4 of the Australian Open, the temperatures are insufferable, and Jimmy Knightly is engaged in a heated battle against his rival, Jake "The Rake" Caramel, for advancement to the third round. With the exception of the fierce heat, the match goes as he expects--he plays hard, and Caramel plays dirty. They keep it neck and neck for as long as they can, but as they near the end of the match, Caramel goes for the injury shot. Moments later, a man in the crowd takes a real shot. Chaos ensues in the stadium. Jimmy is whisked away to the hospital. His chance to advance to the next round ends.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The events at the Australian Open seem random at first. An irate fan goes berserk--could happen to anyone, for any sport. But as Jimmy spends the next couple of months recovering from his injury, he begins to discover how dangerous a turn his match at the Open has taken. Someone has put a price on his head, and the man taking the contract is an unstoppable killer with masks and support cover-up technology that no one knows how to investigate. Everyone tells Jimmy to run, as this killer is a ghost in the flesh, but Jimmy is not so willing to give up his life, no matter how likely this guy would kill him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fortunately, FBI Special Agents Joyce McKinley and Thomas Sturgeon are on the case. This enigmatic killer, the Spotless Cowboy, has been on Sturgeon's radar for eleven months, and he and McKinley are eager to close the book on him. Sturgeon just needs cooperation with Jimmy, and part of that means keeping him alive. Every little bit of information he can offer to uncover the Cowboy's identity helps. But Jimmy's memory is terrible. He would have to draw this killer out in the open again just to identify him. Sturgeon is not against the idea of using bait, but he would prefer to protect his asset. That means putting him in Witness Relocation, even if it doesn't change the fact that Jimmy is a celebrity who cannot actually hide.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However, deep in the mysterious waters of the Caribbean, a secluded island called New Switzerland is designed to do just that--hide people who don't want to be found. But is it any safer than Los Angeles?＜/p＞ ＜p＞What follows is an epic journey of trust, realistic expectations, unrealistic expectations, terror, weirdness, unrequited love, and ultimately heroic transformation, as Jimmy, in his quest to put the Spotless Cowboy behind him, somehow manages to invite even scarier people into his life who want to turn it upside down and mash him into pulp.

＜p＞Chiufang Hwang, M.D. was born in Taiwan but came to the United States as a toddler so her father could pursue a PhD. Usually the only Asian kid on the block growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Chiufang was outwardly shy but inwardly eager to absorb the culture of her adopted country. It wasn’t until she met Janine that Chiufang would identify her own inner-American by embracing the melting pot of cultures she encountered.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I was the token Asian and happy to hang with any kids willing to have me. And the one who embraced me more than anyone was Janine. Janine was my best friend in grade school. She was my protector. And in many ways she was also my mentor, tutoring me on the ways of American culture in general and black culture specificallyーhow to take an attitude, how to talk, how to dance, how to have swagger … the latter not an easy thing when you’re barely four feet tall. Even though I only lived in Columbia a short time, it was a seminal time, and Janine was front and center.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finding Janine describes Chiufang’s journey to discover what it means to be American, offering a unique perspective on how our country’s greatest cultural strength is its ability to embrace and assimilate the ethnic diversity that has been part and parcel of our history from the beginning.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

So when he is asked to defend a wealthy shut-in charged with murder, he is suspicious. Why is the largest and wealthiest law firm in town hiring an outside attorney who is a sole practitioner to represent Mr. Blake May? Sam's client resides in the sublimely creepy Frost Home, a "haunted" mansion given a wide berth by the residents of Champaign, Illinois. The house has been engulfed in rumors of death, missing children, and mystery since before the Civil War. Blake May is accused of not only murdering his girlfriend but decimating the remains until they look like marinara. But the agoraphobic middle-aged man rarely, if ever, left his rooms.

There is a force at work in the house, and it seems to emanate from the mirror hung in the room where the remains of the body were found. Can Sam and Bob end the Frost Home's eerie legacy of evil?
