Book excerpt: Meeting Leila Wahbeh was a life-changing event for the author. Wahbeh's story unfolds with her family's flight from Jerusalem to Egypt in 1947 to avoid the terrors of the war with Israel, and their return four years later to find they had lost everything. During the 1967 war, her husband was deported for rendering aid to war victims, leaving Leila and their four children in Jerusalem as pawns for his good behavior and hers. Despite the probability of her own imprisonment, with circumstances weighed against her, she continues her crusade for the poor.

Book excerpt: “Like Richard Russo’s Straight Man this book has a lot to say about the humanities in American colleges and universities…. Very funny and also moving.” —Tom Perrotta, New York Post A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR and Boston Globe Finally a novel that puts the "pissed" back into "epistolary." Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing and literature at Payne University, a small and not very distinguished liberal arts college in the midwest. His department is facing draconian cuts and squalid quarters, while one floor above them the Economics Department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His once-promising writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life, in part as the result of his unwise use of his private affairs for his novels. His star (he thinks) student can't catch a break with his brilliant (he thinks) work Accountant in a Bordello, based on Melville's Bartleby. In short, his life is a tale of woe, and the vehicle this droll and inventive novel uses to tell that tale is a series of hilarious letters of recommendation that Fitger is endlessly called upon by his students and colleagues to produce, each one of which is a small masterpiece of high dudgeon, low spirits, and passive-aggressive strategies. We recommend Dear Committee Members to you in the strongest possible terms. Don’t miss Julie Schumacher's new novel, The English Experience, coming soon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: July 4th, 1984: Committee of the States delegates from twelve states assembled at the California ranch of Colonel Gale to form a compact which called for the elimination of income taxes & the replacement of the Congress of the United States... October 23, 1986: Unknown to the Committee of the States, federal attorneys from six states had already met to form Operation Clean-Sweep. Colonel Gale & associates across the nation were subsequently swept up in a tide of arrests... The book, "COMMITTEE OF THE STATES" is an unparalleled investigative report of one of the most organized & complex movements America has ever known. A provocative oral history of revealing, & at times alarming, dialogue from a wide spectrum of activists who share an apocalyptic vision of a jihad, or holy war, which they believe is starting now. A biography of Colonel William Potter Gale, former staff officer to General Douglas MacArthur & reclusive "godfather of the far right," who formed a militia of his own & declared war against Z.O.G., the Zionist Occupied Government. Journey with reporter Cheri Seymour through the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the Identity Movement, a revolutionary culture that exists parallel to & within mainstream America.
