Book excerpt: I WISH TO RESTORE to public memory certain features of a man endowed with great goodness of spirit, a passionate interest in people, and a miraculous gift for depicting them." So begins A. N. Pirozhkova's moving memoir of her life with Isaac Babel, perhaps the Soviet Union's greatest writer, and one of the literary world's most lively and endearing characters. Pirozhkova was the only female engineer working on Stalin's grand Moscow subway project when she met Babel in 1932 and they spent the next eight years as husband and wife. At His Side is populated with Babel's wide circle of friends - among them Maxim Gorky, Sergey Eisenstein, and André Malraux - and includes some wonderful vignettes, as when Babel accompanies a cantankerous Boris Pasternak on a long train ride to Germany to receive a literary prize. But it is Babel himself, the affable and always witty writer, who is given vivid life on this pages. And then, in 1940, Stalin's secret police arrive at the door to take Babel away, and there begins the long and sorrowful aftermath to the story. After a mock trial, Babel was summarily executed, but his fate was kept from Pirozhkova and for years she was led to believe he was alive - and writing - in a Siberian prison camp. It was not until 1952 that she learned that Babel was dead, but even then the authorities played with the truth, claiming he'd died of a heart attack. It was only after the collapse of the Soviet Union that Pirozhkova learned the true circumstances of Babel's murder. "Babel lives in his wife’s lucid yet adoring prose. We are with her, at his side"--New York Times Book Review "This glimpse into Babel’s last few years on earth, written by the person closest to him, will be a treasured possession" --Richard Bernstein The New York Times

He soon makes friends with the local misfits and troublemakers and finds himself embarking on a thrilling musical journey. We follow his exploits with school bullies, the girl from the nice end of town, and his attempts to scare boyfriends away from his beautiful single mother. However things become darker when she is swept off her feet by powerful local nightclub owner, Lee Howard. Danny finds he has met his match; Howard is a dangerous psychopath, who seems to be addicted to violence, and there are very few adults who will believe a word Danny says. The story is told from both points of view, Danny's and Howard's. Who is he, and what does he ultimately want from Danny? With his own personal soundtrack in his head, Danny explores the power of music, how it gives him hope, and becomes an obsession; "I was standing on the edge of a great swelling discovery; music. I felt like I was turning the pages of a good book faster and faster, but that I would never get to the end, I would never discover all of the music." A story about music, dreams, first love, the friends who would do anything to save you, and the choice between escaping, or fighting back…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic story of a young man who grew up in a very dangerous part of town. A place where crime was commonplace and where most of the young boys and girls would do time in the juvenile reform system and many growing up only to serve time in prison. His single-parent mother strove to move into another part of town, hoping to avoid seeing him grow up to be a criminal. But even on the other side of town, seeing the neighborhood pimps driving expensive luxury cars, the young man who grew up in poverty could not escape the lure of easy money. The temptation was too great to keep him from becoming involved and the shady business of drug dealing. And with drug dealing comes drug use and becoming involved with some very dangerous people. Soon, he would go deeper and deeper into this world of darkness until, one day, he realized that the men who he thought were his friends had placed a hit on his life. In the house with two hit men who planned to take his life that very moment, you will see the miraculous move of God that caused these men to say, "We will conduct business as normal." But nothing was normal from that day on for this young man who called on the name of Jesus Christ and made him the Lord of his life.
