The Perils of Beginnings: A Cavazos Historical Memoir
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99In 1967, the 18-year-old author hopped into her spicy Auntie Eloisa’s new GTO to embark on a road trip from San Antonio, Texas, to Tampico, Mexico. While searching for her baptismal certificate, Auntie shares the history of Narciso, a bold visionary who, in 1793, left an aristocratic life in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, to cultivate the 600,000 acres of land awarded to him by the King of Spain. As Narciso’s story unfolds, so do the secrets of the two women. Told with humor and warmth, I delighted in Bernadette’s tales of a cow greeting her while using an outdoor toilet, Auntie dropping her bloomers while dancing with abandon to the mariachis’ music, and a “gentle” horse baring her teeth at the author before riding her into the river. This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys history, romance, and colorful characters.
Bernadette Inclan does an outstanding job weaving two periods of history to tell the story of her life and ancestor, José Narciso Cavazos, one of the early Texas settlers.

Washington D.C. Please Don’t Hurt Me: We Are The People 2024
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99I dedicate this book: “Washington D.C., Don’t Hurt Me 2024. We the People,” to all government agencies, especially to the Supreme Court of our country. From 2016 to 2024, we have witnessed abusive events of persecution against former President Donald J. Trump. It is your responsibility to restore Truth, Justice, and Peace to us. Remember: fulfilling the sacred duty of upholding Justice and serving the people “honestly,” regardless of which political party we belong to or which president appointed you to your position. May God Bless our country and enlighten the members of our institutions, always remembering that “transparency in presidential elections” must be respected, and any discrepancies should be resolved according to the law, as was done in the past with Gore and Bush, and other challenges in our country. Not with the compromised words of members of different political parties today. Always remembering
that “Only the truth will put on the virile robe.” -José de la Luz y Caballero. -
Words Of Expression
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99In her poem “The Lost Courage,” Tanya Marie Breaud exhibits the style and emotive voice that weaves its poignant way through Words of Expression, her first published collection of verse.
“Hear me when I cry at night,
be Mother’s arms that hold me tight.
Bring me up when I fall down,
Come to me when no one else is around. . .
Listen to the words that I speak,
give me courage when I’m scared and weak.”
With inspiration continuously evolving from her personal experience, Ms. Breaud delights her readers with poetry that tugs at their heartstrings while wringing out their disappointed, wet washcloths of heartache. From high-spirited enthusiasm to sad, distressing loneliness, these poems run the gamut of truth, longing, forgiveness, faith, and hope. Readers will surely find solace in this poet’s words, as well as the reassuring momentum to keep going in life, despite the obstacles placed before them.
In true spiritual observance, Tanya Marie Breaud confides in the Introduction to her book, “All the chances I never took, I’m now taking. For the longest time I have searched for a way to express myself. I finally found my way through Words of Expression.”
It is her hope that her readers will, too!

You
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Working 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. (http://thnktnk.net/drill.html) is a paper I wrote on the subject.
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.
