1849, California. The Gold Rush had begun. 300,000 gold-seekers left their homes, grabbed what they could and headed West to find their fortune. This is the diary of one of those intrepid men, and the trials and tribulations that he faces in his search for riches.

When all else is gone, "Love is all that matters." Where Memories Meet is two stories: a daughter's memoir of losing her father to Alzheimer's interwoven with a father's account of his life's defining moments. It is an insider's view of the physical and emotional toll Alzheimer's takes on a family. An unconventional story structure and timeline allow the author to move past memories of the heartbreak of her father's last years, and in effect, reclaim her father after Alzheimer's.

Levant Fever is a memoir from the political underground darkness of Assad's Syria. Seen through the eyes of a boy growing into a man, in the middle of feverish historic events. Not widely understood, or told before in the West but at the roots of the current conflicts. The narrative grips the reader with its honesty, brutality and beauty.
