Skinny House by Julie L. Seely
Julie L. Seely’s Skinny House is a true American story, one of perseverance and struggle, of poverty and the graft it takes to pull one out of it. So much more than a memoir of a black family’s journey through the Great Depression, this memoir is a reflection on past generations, as Seely revives her ancestors’ stories with emotional grace and literary clarity. With a wonderful selection of old photographs, newspaper clippings, and other archival images, Seely adds vivid color to the past that for so many of us exists in stark monochrome. Indicative of a rich and storied upbringing, […]

An Interview with Mark Howard: Author of Godfrey’s Crusade
Tell us about your book.
Godfrey’s Crusade is the fantasy novel I always wanted to read. I wanted to get certain things right about medieval battle tactics, the lord-vassal relationship, feudalism, and crusading that most other fantasy writers I’ve read didn’t seem overly concerned about. Many aspiring fantasy writers I’ve talked with appear content to dress up twenty-first-century issues in chrome breastplates and wizard robes, […]

Review: Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Morgan, KCB by John D. Gazzelli
The massive strategic plan known in the annals history as Operation Overlord, which resulted in the final defeat of Nazi Germany, was the vision of a man who, author John D. Gazzelli insists, has been largely overlooked and almost forgotten by those same annals, as chronicled in Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Morgan, KCB: The Planner Who Saved Europe.
By 1943, Hitler’s forces had assumed increasing control of Europe, and it rested on the British and American armies to resist and overcome German domination. However, the two nations were not in agreement about how this could and should be accomplished. […]

Moe Fields by Stuart Z. Goldstein
A stirring tale of resilience, loss, fatherhood, and family loyalty, Moe Fields: The Special Bond Between Fathers and Sons by Stuart Z. Goldstein is a raw biography about a different age, but one that resonates deeply in the present day.

After enduring physical conflict throughout much of his life, the fight to see his wife walk again, […]
