Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Down a lonely, country road in the hinterlands of Maine's western mountains, author Angelo Kaltsos found beauty in a camp called "West Branch." In Of Bears, Mice, and Nails, Kaltsos tells of discovering an old hunting camp built almost 100 years ago and of his efforts to refurbish the camp to make it his home. Although he grew up and worked in large cities, nature called to Kaltsos. It lured him to woods, parks, and the outdoors. For more than thirty years he has made his home in a small cabin near the Appalachian Trail. Kaltsos first spied the property with spectacular views in 1967; he rented a home prior to purchasing the camp in 1978. In Of Bears, Mice, and Nails he describes his simplistic lifestyle with no indoor bathroom, no electricity, no generator, no solar panels, no telephone, and no television. He's gained knowledge of carpentry and agriculture, and learned to plant and care for trees, vegetables, flowers, grapes, and berries. His story includes excerpts of comments left by visitors in his outhouse guestbook who describe the wonders of spending time in a rustic, quiet, and magical place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MUSIC YOU WILL NEVER HEAR is told from the perspective of the nephew of William Goudas, who was living with his grandmother and William in Roxbury, Massachusetts, when the crime was committed. From his arrest, to his time in confinement, to the time spent with him after parole, author Angelo J. Kaltsos relates the story of his talented guitar-playing uncle’s wasted life. In 1946, when nineteen-year-old William “Bill” Goudas was recruited to assist in a daring late-evening burglary, he never would have guessed the night would end with the tragic murder of police sergeant William F. Healey. Presenting a true tale of crime and tragedy, Music You Will Never Hear recounts the events of that October evening decades ago, as told by author Angelo J. Kaltsos, Goudas’s nephew. Goudas was a talented musician and had dreams of attending the New England Conservatory of Music, but these were not to come true. Instead, he would spend a large portion of his adult life in prison, leaving his talent to grow only as a prison musician and his family forever affected by the events. From his arrest to his time in confinement to the time spent with him after parole, Kaltsos relates the story of his uncle’s wasted life. This personal narrative, presented from a family member’s perspective, describes the killing of a police sergeant and the killer’s unknown, extraordinary gift as a prison musician. “I would have got up and played in those clubs with all those dudes, but there’re going to ask, who have you played with. What could I say? I’ve played in prison for twenty-two years for killing a cop.” — William Goudas related this story to the author after his trip to New Orleans.

Kaltsos chronicles memories from his childhood through his adult years of traveling and work in The Boy Who Was Shanghaied. After his mother left the family when he was just eighteen months old, he and his older sister were raised by their father. Later, they were the subjects of a custody battle when their fathers ability to take care of them adequately was challenged by child services and he lost the court case. The children spent a year in an institution, a foster home, and then returned to their father, ultimately running away at the ages of fourteen (Angelo) and sixteen (his sister) to find a better life. In a series of short stories, he talks about the jobs he held prior and post WW II, then his travels after his army tour. The Boy Who Was Shanghaied is the true story of a young man who fought against very tough odds to build a successful life as an educator and researcher.
