Navigating the Quartz Forest
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99Each dreamlike lyric in Biman Roy’s Navigating the Quartz Forest is charmingly paired with a small handwritten note hastily jotted down on blue-lined notebook paper-artifacts from his daughter’s life outside the family home. “All through the evening, we keep talking nonessentials, / tiptoeing around secret tulips,” he says. These notes, like scraps of overheard conversations removed from their natural habitats, become the crystalline seeds of new poems. Side-by-side with each other, the poems act as translator for these somewhat oracular messages from an unknown world of teenage gossip and pop culture references, fitting the pieces together like a shattered mirror and filling in the jagged-edged gaps with the poet’s expansive imagination. In Navigating the Quartz Forest, Roy’s whimsical poems become a sparkling tribute from a father to his beloved daughter.

C’est ainsi qu’est né le titre Pins à Feuilles Persistantes – un hommage à cette constance silencieuse, à cette foi enracinée qui, au fil du temps, reste toujours vivante. -

Reflections III: The Magic Beyond the Pain: The Journey, My Impact, Their Impact
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99This book reflects life-each and every one of us in our journeys as all of us inevitably end in the same place. It is our journeys, individually and those we share time and space with, along with the many souls on four legs that define the happiness inside. It is also imperative that we find ways to help the world we live in-for those many starfish that ended on the beach, and for each of those starfish that we can throw back in the water,-well, one more life we have saved. Inevitably, it is the lives we save that actually save us-aren’t they? They fill our souls with energy with that special feeling that we mean something that we actually are all connected but to live life with purpose-well that is ultimately the most fulfilling of all important feelings. To each of you I hope you fill those moments in the simplest of ways-giving back, and pay forward to become the power and energy that will save us all.

Reflections of Humanity: A Tapestry of Perceptions
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99This collection will take on different meanings at different points in time. Many of the key themes have multiple messages. This is also the case in many interpretations of the vocabulary. Everyone has an individual perception of what truth is. These works are representative of this writer’s understanding of that entity.
It is my hope that this collection will inspire the realization within each reader that the true wisdom in life is one’s ability to believe in oneself. Thus, will it become possible to accept responsibility for our own actions? Once this end is accomplished, we can, each in his own right, make beneficial changes. Many have had this same dream since the dawn of time. It is this writer’s most ardent hope that this work will find acceptance within the heart of each reader. A further hope is that these perceptions will serve as an inspiration to each to establish a positive sense of self and a more cohesive view of the people around you.
Try to set gender aside in these works. Wherever possible, substitute people and situations within your own life and the lives of the loved ones around you.

Reflections on Being Human

These poems portray the thrills and challenges of life and love in general and the saving grace of spiritual light and wisdom in particular.
The poems are divided into three thematic parts-Life, Love, and Light. The structured arrangement of poems followed in this book allows a coherently flowing exploration of human feelings, emotions, and aspirations, and of the human behavior; thus taking the readers through a panoramic journey of self-discovery.

These lucidly written verses reflect on, and expose, the secrets of achieving success in love, peace, and happiness.Positively uplifting and illuminating, Safaya’s poetic work is reminiscent of classical poetry, for it is deeply thought provoking about human nature and condition. Foreword Clarian Review wrote, “Reflections on Being Human works toward truth and self-actualization with many poems hinting at ultimate perfect unity …surprising imagery to uncommon and timeless effect.” Kirkus review remarked, “This earnest collection tackles serious questions…[c]onsiders the subject of love both abstractly and concretely.” An editor at iUniverse, A. Spencer, wrote, “these poems have a rare intellectual and spiritual depth as well as lyricism.”

Songs for the Last Sunrise: Poems and prayers from the edge of eternity
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Poetic Prayers for the End of Night and the Coming of Light
Songs for the Last Sunrise is a journey through darkness toward the first glimmer of forever. These poems and prayers rise from the edge of exhaustion and the brink of hope, written by a man who has stood in the fire, walked through ash, and learned to listen for God in the quiet before the dawn.
In these pages, faith flickers and flares. Shadows speak. Lamps burn low but never go out. From the long night of suffering to the holy expectancy of Christ’s return, each piece leans toward the horizon-toward the moment when the sky splits, the trumpet sounds, and every weary watcher is finally met with light.
This is a book for those who have waited through the ache…
for the ones who still believe He’s coming…
for souls who refuse to close their eyes, even when the night feels endless.
Songs for the Last Sunrise is a companion for the midnight hour and an anthem for the morning that’s almost here. Continuing the journey begun in Tod Truettner’s first book, Creation to Christ, this work follows the soul from the edge of surrender to the threshold of glory. Tod writes with the grit of a builder and the heart of a watchman, reminding us that hope has a pulse even in the dark-and that heaven is closer than we think. -

The Beacon
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Life sometimes takes us to task.
So we seek our knowledge from the past,
Only to learn that life is an ever changing path

To find your way upon the seas of life,
And run aground in tears and strife.
That’s why the Beacon came to be,
To shine its light on you and me,
And help guide us safely to shore,
To be lost in life’s seas no more -

Price range: $3.99 through $10.99The author examines the invaluable gift of time within the context of eternity, through the lenses of profound themes in the forms of storytelling and poetry. Employing urgency and directness, these poems encourage you to consider knowing Christ, and to make Him known, your priority. The command of The Great Commission dominates your thoughts more completely as you read and meditate on the truths confronted herein. From questions about the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace, to the importance of decision making and the potency of the blood of Jesus, The Big One uses a simple and straightforward style to convey a message of joy, faith, peace, and hope. The benefits of struggles in the life of the believer and the power of God’s love are conspicuous throughout. These discussions are centered not only on the eternal destiny of mankind, but also on the possibility of living successfully and abundantly in this life.

The Coming Age and Other Poems
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99“I believe in the dream of the people who defied the foreign King who claimed to rule them and, in the Government, set in place by the Continental Congress in 1787 avowing ourselves responsible first to God to have such rights given to us by the Almighty and not by any supposed government as We the People are the first and only legal government as a whole.”

The Great Abortion: A Holy Book for Isolated Souls
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99These assorted poems are philosophical works as much as they are art. The myriad of subjects contained in this collection cover freedom, depression, lust, solitude, paradise, risk, labor, spirituality, and transformation to name a few. As diverse as these topics are, they all coalesce into an insightful and provocative spirit of exploration and moral exhortation. I have titled this work of mine as The Great Abortion hoping that it will become exactly that to the majority of people who have turned away from poetry. I aim to stop a mindless tradition of emotional stimulation, which neither betters the writer or reader. There are countless poems that have become nothing but an endless stream of adjectives that create great mental pictures, but drown out the few words dedicated to the actual content. Each of my poems combine to create a great halting power, and an eventual abortion. These poems operate by lifting the veil of curiosity on philosophical verities without the rigors and stagnation of logic. These poems strike through carefree levity, sharp barbs, and creative allegories. Weather the reader finds themselves in agreement with these works or not, they will consider meaningful life subjects with a fresh new energy supplied by these poems. I promise the reader a new spirit of contemplation upon completing this book.

Russell is an educator, researcher, poet, songwriter, and producer. He is known as pragmatist, his brusque yet seductive approach to writing challenges the reader to confront the esoteric.

This author invites the reader on a random walk through their constructed realities and further challenges them to explore its nebulous boundaries. He forces them to grapple with their own imagining; it is this quasi-spiritual exploration that gives credence to his body of work.

Russell is also the Chief Executive Officer of EduSols LLC, a New York based small business research entity. He is the Executive Director and principal songwriter of LyricSurge Records, a small independent recording label operating out of New York and Ft. Lauderdale.

Windswept
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Loss, forever changes you, forever. A piece of you, missing. It’s a given. You struggle not to accept nor reject but just to acknowledge, to wrap your mind around the permanent void; to make sense of the senseless, learning to breathe in pain to see through the tears.
Losing two of her three children, S. G. McAfee knows the pain; the breaking heart, the emptiness of aching arms. Healing is on going. The scars are real, deep, permanent. As you seek shelter from an unfamiliar stormy sea of life may you find solace in Windswept.
Ms McAfee has been writing the rhyming word since age eleven, apparent in “My Puppy” which gives insight to the innocence of a young mind while “Turkey Strut”, written three years later, playfully reflects her interpretation of a not-sodumb bird at Thanksgiving.
Love abounds throughout this book of verse as in the poems Teas, Glisten, Meyou. The joys of Christmas can be found in just that Joy while A Silent Prayer conveys to the reader the power of bended knee. Mourning Glory, written five days after September 11th, 2001 tells of the attack on this great nation, under God.
Windswept cross sections emotions, thus pulling heart strings, producing smiles, evoking tears. Sailing along life’s tumultuous journey may Windswept bring you calm seas and gentle winds. Know you are not alone.

“Hear me when I cry at night,

You
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99Working in a family print shop as I grew up led to my career, first in education and then to publishing and dramatic technology development – with R.R. Donnelley, Readers Digest, and Sothebys over 50 years. While working at Columbia University for 5 years “at the turn of the century”, I became fascinated with geothermal energy technology and have since attended conferences and visited geothermal energy sites.

Presently I am involved in several community organizations (Library, Parks, Arts, Downtown, Bird Sanctuary) in my hometown where I moved five years ago from New York. I live there with my fiancée whom I re-met at our 50th high school reunion. We have enjoyed Europe, China, and US travels together.
