Book excerpt: Uncommon Hero: The John Seagraves Story involves the life of one African-American youngster, who during his rise from poverty to prosperity, encounters a heroic moment that defines his lifetime. Author David Seagraves chronicles the life of his father from John's upbringing as a poor Southern boy, through his exploits in the Navy during WWII, to a successful entrepreneur and present day world traveler still quite active in his mid-80s. Courage overcame his lack of education, social barriers, and lowly expectations opening doors to opportunities which helped shape and characterize him throughout his life. John served on Battleship USS North Carolina, the most successful and highly decorated battleship in U.S. Navy history. Over and above their individual duties, he and his gun crew volunteered to defend the ship with complete disregard for their own safety. On April 14, 1945, the 18-year-old sailor and his gun crew defended the ship from an attack which caught everyone else by surprise. Being the first gun group to spot and target a kamikaze plane headed directly toward them, John fired upon the deadly plane, downing the aircraft just 30 feet from the battleship. This isolated act saved untold lives and the ship's legacy under the most severe circumstances. In a collision of American, African American and Navy history, John holds center stage having impacted the lives of many people before, during and after the war. The family man, with a tireless work ethic and drive to succeed, faced obstacles in the South and during WWII with enthusiasm, relocated and started a family in the North after the war, and found prosperity sharing his passion with the world. He continues to live a vibrant life as a restaurant owner with his wife Mildred. Uncommon Hero has been authored as a cathartic tribute, first, commemorating the man who came from nothing with an unknown past and whose powerful will created the life he wanted, second, offering insight into the core values that still inspire David. The book reveals traits, honed during wartime, which made his father a strong leader. While John's story drives the book, the lessons underlying his actions provide a blueprint for a path to wealth for younger generations.

Book excerpt: Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with. Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, who disappeared from the settlement years earlier. Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when circumstances force Clay's hand--and heart--the stage is set for one very private and one very public reckoning. Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous western Virginia mountains of 1770.

Because Gina was everything Ben had ever dreamed of in a woman, and now he’d brought danger to her doorstep. With his heart—and her life—on the line, Ben found himself playing protector to Gina and the boy, a makeshift family he longed to make real.

Book excerpt: No More Heroes is a beautifully written testimony to the art of living. It is a poetic and joyful reminder of those seemingly ordinary moments and interactions that are indeed so extraordinary. Biernacki shares with the reader an uncommon sense of wonder and a profound sense of humanity. It is a rare gem in the form of a 180 page novel. James M. Montoya Vice President The College Board/ Former Dean of Admission Stanford University "The Past should be the past unless you live it fully. If you live it fully it will be so vivid in your memory that it will not seem to leave." And so goes the bittersweet, thoughtful, and yearning wisdom that pours from the pages of Biernacki's book, No More Heroes. Victor Cass Author - Telenovela and Love, Death, and Other War Stories. No More Heroes is part travelogue, part human interest, part inspirational. I felt that I was with Biernacki every step of the way as his writing style beautifully describes the scenes and images that he encounters along this journey. As one who likes to travel but doesn't, this book is an inspiration to perhaps undergo such an adventure. Bravo Biernacki! Alan Mautner Music Conductor Biernacki's sensitivity and understanding only comes with the broadening effect of being a world traveler. Truly, the author presents heroes upon which the reader may model their own life. Kevin Brendan Arnold Cunniff World Traveler, College Lecturer

Book excerpt: A dark and intricate fantasy, City of the Uncommon Thief is the story of a quarantined city gripped by fear and of the war that can free it. "Guilders work. Foundlings scrub the bogs. Needles bind. Swords tear. And men leave. There is nothing uncommon in this city. I hope Errol Thebes is dead. We both know he is safer that way." In a walled city of a mile-high iron guild towers, many things are common knowledge: No book in any of the city's libraries reveals its place on a calendar or a map. No living beasts can be found within the city's walls. And no good comes to the guilder or foundling who trespasses too far from their labors. Even on the tower rooftops, where Errol Thebes and the rest of the city's teenagers pass a few short years under an open sky, no one truly believes anything uncommon is possible within the city walls. But one guildmaster has broken tradition to protect her child, and now the whole city faces an uncommon threat: a pair of black iron spikes that has the power of both sword and needle on the rib cages of men has gone missing, but the mayhem they cause rises everywhere. If the spikes are not found, no wall will be high enough to protect the city—or the world beyond it. And Errol Thebes? He's not dead and he's certainly not safe.
