Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Book II – SONS OF CUBA – HOMECOMING Felipe and his handful of rebels are forced into exile by the Batista government. With the help of Ileana Calleri, a Cuban National living in Mexico, a training camp is established in the shadows of the snowcapped volcano Popocatépetal near Mexico City. The revolution is expensive and securing funds to finance the rebellion is slow and demanding. Felipe returns to the United States in hopes he can convince fellow Cuban patriots and others to support their cause. But, while seeking financial assistance, he barely survives an attempt on his life. Nothing seems to impede Felipe and his band of compatriots from their quest. Even though a plane crash diminishes their numbers, the rebels succeed returning home and establish their base camp in the mountains of southeastern Cuba. High in the Sierra Maestra Mountains, near Pico Turquino, Felipe encounters a feisty peasant girl, Tangi Montolio. This fiery red-headed activist is one of the rebel leader’s most passionate supporters. She will deliver the long awaited message to Cardena’s encampment affirming victory is on the horizon. Lazario Montolio is a loyal courier for the Cuban revolutionaries. He is a widower and Tangi is his only child. He endeavors to keep his strong-willed daughter from direct contact with the rugged revolutionaries whenever he can. However, the long awaited message affirming victory is imminent must reach the rebels high in their mountain campground. Lazario and Tangi are among the few that are trusted by the rebels. When Lazario is unable to personally make the delivery, he has no choice but to send his daughter. After Tangi’s encounter with the rebels, a set of circumstances compel her to become estranged from her father, Lazario Montolio and her fiancé, Ramon Miguel Hernandez. Homeless and with no money, Tangi is rescued by an old farmer, Fernando Reyes. He takes Tangi under his wing and gives her a job and a home. She becomes the child he never knew. Ramon Miguel Hernandez, the fiancé, refuses to accept that Tangi’s disappearance was without just cause and searches until he finds her. When they are finally reunited in Havana, their short-lived happiness is besieged with uncertainty and despair. While Tangi is managing the fruit and vegetable kiosk in Plaza de San Francisco, her three year old son, Andrés, disappears. The frantic family search everywhere. Moments later the boy returns in the arms of Rafaella Zamá, the Santería priestess. What could possibly be Rafaella's motives? Distrust, deterioration of civility and harassment from Cuban soldiers force Tangi and her family to consider returning to their home in the Sierra Maestra Mountains. Before they can move forward with their plans, government troops intervene. From this day forward the family’s lives catapults into turmoil. Imprisonment, death and the treacherous crossing of the Gulf of Mexico shapes their future. The one bright spot on the horizon awaiting the refugees is Cristóbal and Teresa Marín - the parents of Felipe’s dead bride, Margarít. From exile this couple relishes the opportunity to seek revenge on Cuba’s new dictator, Felipe Cardena - the same man who was responsible for the death of the Marín children, Margarít and Alejandro - the destruction of the Marín family legacy - and the reason they were forced to leave Cuba. Will Andrés, Tangi’s only son, become Cuba’s new hope?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenge may be sweet, but is it worth betrayal, murder, and Shattered Loyalties? Dylan Randle the III is no angel. Journalist Penelope “Pepper” Mills tried once before to reveal his dark side to the public, but he still slithered through the cracks unscathed. Because of him and his political influence, Pepper was banished from Washington D.C. — her promising career, as a correspondent, left in shambles. Instead of interviewing global heads of state, she now lives in New Orleans condemned to writing obituaries for the local newspaper. Four years later the blackballed journalist convinces her editor to give her a second chance to redeem herself as a serious reporter. Just as she is getting her life and career back on track, Dylan Randle, now a presidential candidate, makes a campaign stop in New Orleans. At the close of Dylan’s campaign rally and as the crowd begins to disperse from the Super Dome, Pepper witnesses him physically intimidate his wife in an abusive way. Unable to control the inner demons she’s kept in check for so long, Pepper realizes she is unwilling to restrain her compulsion to destroy Dylan’s political ambitions. She now becomes more determined than ever to unmask him for the degenerate he actually is. As Pepper and a few of Dylan’s closest and most trusted allies dig deeper into his twisted past, this journalist’s dogged persistence will catapult her onto a self-destructive and life-threatening path that none of them counted on. First she is thrown into jail, and then she encounters mysterious strangers on a late night ferry — one means her harm; the other becomes the driving force that cracks open the door to the real truth. Pepper will follow a lead to a sunken cemetery in New Orleans, and will eventually travel to a deserted Rest Stop along I-10 in search of answers from an escaped mental patient. Is this someone who might possibly connect all the dots or somebody who plans to stop her meddling permanently? As Dylan Randle the III’s skeletons crawl to the surface, will Pepper finally uncover this presidential candidate’s darkest secrets buried in his shameful past? Will the tenacious journalist succeed in destroying Dylan’s presidential hopes, or will Pepper trigger a tsunami of ill-fated circumstances that leave a trail of Shattered Loyalties and murder?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relentless political turmoil streams through the veins of Cuba like lava coursing down the side of a volcano. Book I and Book II of SONS OF CUBA – PRELUDE TO REVOLUTION is a historical fiction staged in 1950 Cuba that transports the reader through actual, but embellished events. The combined story navigates you through Felipe Cardena’s journey from idealistic University student to aging dictator. Felipe Cardena, an ambitious, charismatic, and outspoken college student seeks equality and justice for his beloved Cuba. He ignores warnings of his father and aligns himself with like-minded sympathizers. In Book I of the two part series, Felipe, along with a cast of dedicated men and women, experiences lost love; the exhilaration of victory, demoralizing disappointments, death, imprisonment and exile. Emilio Diaz, Felipe’s best friend and most dedicated supporter, stands strong with the young rebel with every turn. Although frustrated on multiple occasions, Emilio struggles to keep Felipe focused and headed in the right direction. Luis Cardena, the younger brother, is a perpetual thorn in Felipe’s side. Four women, in their unique individual way, have a profound impact on Felipe Cardena the student; Felipe the rebel; and Felipe the dictator. Margarít Marín is the fiancé and love of Felipe’s life. She is the only hope for keeping Felipe grounded and out of trouble. However, her manipulating aristocratic parents, Cristóbal and Teresa Marín, have other plans; and marriage to the labriegos, Felipe Cardena, is not one of them. Their interference in Margarít and Felipe’s relationship dramatically impacts the destiny that befalls Felipe, the dictator, in Book II. Rafaella Zamá, the Santería priestess (Oloricha), pops in and out of Felipe’s life endeavoring to control his destiny. Lidía Álverez, the wife of a prominent Havana surgeon who ardently supports the current dictator, warms Felipe’s bed and financially supports his rebellion. Lidia’s unconditional devotion and indiscretions eventually seal her fate. Tangi Montolio, a stunning redheaded peasant girl, delivers a long awaited message to Felipe at the rebel’s encampment high in the Sierra Maestra. This message not only changed the course of the revolt, but also the lives of the Cuban people. Book II – SONS OF CUBA – HOMECOMING slides the focus away from Felipe and the revolution and spotlights Tangi and her family. Her story illustrates the overwhelming hardships and disappointments in the new regime. They struggle with the reality that Cuba once again is condemned to repeat past mistakes. But in Tangi Montolio’s narrative, a twist of fate awaits the once beloved hope of Cuba.

Book excerpt: “Here is what you will not find in the news–the personal cost of war written as clear and beautiful as literature worthy of the name is. These stories are the real thing, passionate, imaginative, searing.” –Richard Bausch, author of Wives & Lovers The first book of its kind, Operation Homecoming is the result of a major initiative launched by the National Endowment for the Arts to bring distinguished writers to military bases and inspire U.S. Marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen and their families to record their wartime experiences. Encouraged by such authors as Tom Clancy, Mark Bowden, Bobbie Ann Mason, Tobias Wolff, Jeff Shaara, and Marilyn Nelson, American military personnel and their loved ones wrote candidly about what they saw, heard, and felt while in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as on the home front. Taken together, these almost one hundred never-before-published eyewitness accounts, private journals, short stories, letters, and other personal writings become a dramatic narrative that shows the human side of warfare. • the fear and exhilaration of heading into battle; • the interactions between U.S. forces and Afghans and Iraqis, both as enemies and friends; • the boredom, gripes, and humorous incidents of day-to-day life on the front lines; • the anxiety and heartache of worried spouses, parents, and other loved ones on the home front; • the sheer brutality of warfare and the physical and emotional toll it takes on those who fight; • the tearful homecomings for those who returned to the States alive– and the somber ceremonies for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. From riveting combat accounts to profound reflections on warfare and the pride these troops feel for one another, Operation Homecoming offers an unflinching and intensely revealing look into the lives of extraordinary men and women. What they have written is without question some of the greatest wartime literature ever published. “Andrew Carroll has given America a priceless treasure.” –Tom Brokaw, on War Letters Proceeds from this book will be used to provide arts and cultural programming to U.S. military communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1959, the Cuban revolutionary government has proudly proclaimed that "the revolution is for the children." Many Cuban Americans reject this claim, asserting that they chose exile in the United States to protect their children from the evils of "Castro-communism." Anita Casavantes Bradford's analysis of the pivotal years between the Revolution's triumph and the 1962 Missile Crisis uncovers how and when children were first pressed into political service by ideologically opposed Cuban communities on both sides of the Florida Straits. Casavantes Bradford argues that, in Havana, the Castro government deployed a morally charged "politics of childhood" to steer a nationalist and reformist revolution toward socialism. At the same time, Miami exile leaders put children at the heart of efforts to mobilize opposition to Castro's regime and to link the well-being of Cuban refugees to U.S. Cold War foreign policy objectives. Casavantes Bradford concludes that the 1999 Elian Gonzalez custody battle was the most notorious recent manifestation of the ongoing struggle to define and control Cuban childhood, revealing the persistent centrality of children to Cuban politics and national identity.

Book excerpt: "QUOTE" Tens of thousands of America's WWII, Korean Conflict, and Vietnam War military servicemen ended up as hostages secretly hijacked into the USSR. Today this regrettable saga is still one of America's most closely guarded secrets. As WWII ended Stalin captured all of Germany's eastern areas in which tens of thousands of captured American POWs were then being detained by Hitler's armed forces. Stalin secretly held them as hostages and denied any knowledge of them as the Cold War began. Their status unknown, Washington eventually declared them dead when in fact they were still alive in captivity. Thousands more were lost the same way when the Korean War ended: China and the USSR secretly exploited these hostages for intelligence purposes and then also disposed of them. Vietnam saw still more held back by Hanoi after that conflict ended, for the same reasons again. Today these abandoned sons, a few of whom may still be alive in captivity as you read this, are considered one of Washington's most closely guarded secrets. Now is time to expose this secret and end this unfortunate Cold War saga.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Singing Like Germans, Kira Thurman tells the sweeping story of Black musicians in German-speaking Europe over more than a century. Thurman brings to life the incredible musical interactions and transnational collaborations among people of African descent and white Germans and Austrians. Through this compelling history, she explores how people reinforced or challenged racial identities in the concert hall. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, audiences assumed the categories of Blackness and Germanness were mutually exclusive. Yet on attending a performance of German music by a Black musician, many listeners were surprised to discover that German identity is not a biological marker but something that could be learned, performed, and mastered. While Germans and Austrians located their national identity in music, championing composers such as Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms as national heroes, the performance of their works by Black musicians complicated the public's understanding of who had the right to play them. Audiences wavered between seeing these musicians as the rightful heirs of Austro-German musical culture and dangerous outsiders to it. Thurman explores the tension between the supposedly transcendental powers of classical music and the global conversations that developed about who could perform it. An interdisciplinary and transatlantic history, Singing Like Germans suggests that listening to music is not a passive experience, but an active process where racial and gendered categories are constantly made and unmade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nilo Cruz is the most produced Cuban American playwright in the United States and was the first dramatist of Hispanic descent to receive the Pulitzer Prize. In his plays, Cruz almost always journeys back to Cuba, even when the play is not set there. Cruz is a sensualist, a conjurer of mysterious voyages and luxuriant landscapes. He is a poetic chronicler, a documentarian of the presence of Latin people in American life. He conveys the strength and persistence of the Cuban spirit through a wholly dramatic imagination. This volume also includes the one-act play, Capriccio. Two Sisters and a Piano “Cruz’s tightly constructed study of incarcerated sisters provides the spine for an authentic study of oppression that bends but never breaks the human spirit.”—Variety Beauty of the Father “He is that rare American scribe who embraces the role of stage poet and the legacy of Tennessee Williams.”—The Seattle Times Hortensia and the Museum of Dreams “Cruz explores all kinds of loss . . . lost childhood, lost freedom, lost innocence. Yet he infused Hortensia with joy, with desire, with humor and hope and healing.”—The Miami Herald Lorca in a Green Dress “Like Lorca, Cruz is a lyrical writer in whom the surreal is grounded in the musical world of the senses . . . it is fresh, wonderful and dazzling.”—Mail Tribune (Oregon) Nilo Cruz is the author of many plays, including A Park in Our House, A Bicycle Country, Dancing on Her Knees, Night Train to Bolina and other works. He is a recipient of numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Alton Jones Award and the Kesselring Prize. Mr. Cruz is a professor at the Yale School of Drama. He resides in New York City and is a New Dramatists alumnus.
