The Spanish Teacher
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award
“…De la Cuesta’s novel maintains an accumulating power which holds onto a reader’s attention not only through the forceful figure of Ordóñez, but by demonstrating acutely how ordinary lives are impacted by the underlying social and political landscape. Compelling reading.”
-Tom Tolnay, publisher,
Birch Brook Press and author of Selling America and This Is the Forest Primeval
“Barbara de la Cuesta’s The Spanish Teacher has everything to thrill you-pace, a great balance of description, gesture and action, charmed, perfectly-tuned dialogue, and most notably, a character we follow as closely and sympathetically as if we were living right there inside the story with him… So many books show us a character who seems to capably hang and move like marionettes from the strings of a fairly competent puppeteer, but rarely do we see a full drama like this, where every bit of the writing extends from, grows out of, is part and parcel with the author’s complete realization of and connection to her character…”
-Don Berger, judge for the Gival Press Novel Award

We’ve Done Them Wrong: A History of The Native American Indians and How The United States Treated Them
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99“From the mountains, to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam,
Every Native American
Must leave his home.” I.
Imagine that someone comes to your home and forces you at gunpoint to leave. Your response might be termed “savage”
“Savage” was how the New World invaders described American Indians. Settlers chased them across the continent, as the government signed treaties that they later broke. They also subjected the native inhabitants to horrible atrocities.
Author George E. Saurman, a World War II veteran and proud American, explores what really happened to Native American Indians, examining
- Native American Indian tribes and their customs;
- the actions of early settlers, including William Penn and his holy experiment;
- contributions of the Native American Indians; and
- conditions on reservations today.
Saurman also considers how the Bureau of Indian Affairs handled relations between natives and settlers, as well as what Native American Indians from the past and today have had to say about events.
Even today, broken promises obscure what’s really going on in Native American Indian Communities, It’s time that a serious effort be made to rectify the situation, and it starts by realizing that We’ve Done Them Wrong.

Since 2012, Jack’s ministry opportunities have expanded to include medical and evangelistic missions to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Myanmar and Brazil, as well as several local Mission projects. Each of these personal experiences has added new perspective to the concept of walking the Purposeful Walk, and contributed to the enrichment of Jack’s observations of the working of God in the everyday lives of those with whom he has come in contact. The result is a collection of articles composed with the objective of focusing the readers’ attention on the Presence of God in each day’s events, whether personal, local, or worldwide. Jack’s desire is that these Parables will serve to give encouragement, guidance and inspiration to each one who engages in the purposeful walk through life.

The Fire Club: A dangerously humorous journey with a regular crew of irregular firefighters.
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Cole Walker, an inexperienced fire captain, is cruelly baptized into fire life when he is ripped from his air-conditioned desk job and plunged into the command of an obstinate crew of four mischievous firefighters. Walker’s book-smarts do not prepare him for tumultuous firehouse life, or the vivid horrors of his dangerous profession.
Cole Walker finally realizes his life-long dream when he is promoted to fire captain, and takes the place of a highly respected, veteran captain. Ironically, Walker has never held a command nor even worked in a firehouse! His entire career has been safely sheltered behind the insular walls of headquarters. Rookie Captain Cole Walker painfully discovers he must lead his rebellious firefighters through predicaments he’d never experienced before. In his cathartic journey to prove himself as a worthy field captain, Walker discovers that he must fight more than fire.
His firefighters despise him for his lack of experience, they quarrel and plague him with vicious pranks. A rival captain and nefarious mayor torment Walker through public humiliation, while a mirthful young coed from the ladies Auxiliary sparks a contentious rivalry. In between station conflicts, Walker and crew are deluged with deadly fires and agonizing rescues. Walker and his firefighters struggle to survive the volatile incidents that assail them from both inside and outside the firehouse.
Amid the dangers and persistent firehouse hazing, Walker must allay firefighter rivalries, survive career sabotage, mend broken people, and make command decisions that could easily kill himself and his crew.

Kirk’s Poetry
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99I want to dedicate this book to my son Christopher, who joined the Lord
July 4th of 1996. He had cancer the age of 9, and was a fighter for 4 years.
He made everyone smile, and always kept us on our toes. He loved music
and going out for pizza. He also loved the Lord and proclaimed Him until his
death in 1996. He was a strong boy and always knew what was going on.
And he has been the inspiration for this book, he loved listening to my music
and loved all the different types of poems I wrote, whether Christian, love, or just
fun poems or songs. He was a big inspiration for my new Christian cd which is now available.
A young boy who didn’t really have a chance in life, but he enjoyed it to
the fullest. That’s why this book is about him, he was there and helped me with all that
was written in it, because he just plain enjoyed life, and he helped us to do the same.
I have some poems that are about Christopher in Chapter3..
We all love and miss you Christopher you were and still are a great inspiration
to all the people that your heart touched, which was many people,
We will meet you in heaven.

More Than A Conqueror
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Life was different back in the day. Community was vital. Childhood antics, teenage exploits, and the challenges of young adulthood revealed I didn’t know what I thought I knew. Through all of this, the greatest influence of my life was my mom. She helped me process the good and the bad. Instead of being one-dimensional live, love, and laugh with the great intention and anticipation of more. As she is no longer with me her words and laughter linger on, and I am emancipated. I learned that the greatest gift of life was and truly is love; unpretentious, nurtured, and existing to be shared with others.
