Deva Arani is the author of The Mother Ache: Healing the Wounded Daughter Within and Integration Alchemy: The Real Ceremony Is Your Life, published by Sentient Publications and distributed by Simon & Schuster. Drawing upon more than twenty years of embodied and contemplative practice, her writing explores healing, belonging, and our return to a more reciprocal relationship with ourselves, one another, and the living world.

Norman Simon grew up in New York City. Following postgraduate education, he assumed a professorial position teaching and conducting research in astrophysics. In addition to many articles in scientific journals, he has published several short stories, and a number of his plays have been produced or given staged readings in the Midwest and elsewhere. This is his first story collection.

                        		
                    

                    
                    
                

            
        		
        
        
            
                

                    

                        
                            

    
    



                        
                    

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        
                            
Katherine is a strange Bronx girl who "hears" the voices of the constellations. Abetted by a building super and a disgraced NASA administrator, she becomes a revered faith healer, only to be betrayed by her inner voice, when it tells her to have a child.


                        		
                    

                    
                    
                

            
        		
    





    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    






    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    










    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    







                            		
                    

                    
                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    
    
    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        

    
    
Set in eras ranging from the sixties to the near future, Simon's stories blend sexual tension, religious feeling, intellect and madness into a compelling brew. In a senior-living facility, a man plots murder with a woman he believes to be a famous author. A philosophy professor and her boyfriend contemplate suicide. Their every move followed by cameras, the contestants in a reality show need to complete a "main task," but no one knows what it is. After years on the run from the F.B.l. , a bank robber enters a monastery, while his lover/accomplice stews in boredom.


In the words of one of Simon's characters: "The sacred and the profane lie close together, separated by the thinnest membrane, almost nothing." Breeching this boundary, The Ballad of St. Katherine presents a fascinating set of personalities, some slain by their obsessions, others able to come to terms with their lives, or their deaths.

Poet  Gary Allen


I'LL BEGIN IN THE MIDDLE






I'LL BEGIN IN THE MIDDLE, a book-length poem, considers poets and poetry, wondering where both begin and end as they negotiate the treacherous in between.  An Ars Poetica--"The Art of Poetry"--it aims to enact its poetics as it describes them.  It contemplates the lives of world poets, invoking their slippery footholds in phenomenal reality and anguished, angelic expressions as spiritual lineage. It examines both what poetry may or may not be, and who may or may not be saying it. 


 




                
            		
        

    





    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    






    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    










    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    







                            		
                    

                    
                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    
    
    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    
                    

                        

    
    
An open-ended inquiry into the act  of tight-roping the poetic line without a net, which may be no different than anyone who feels, breathes, and suddenly catches a wildcat cyclone out the corner of their eye.





Gary Allen will read from his book and sign copies.

Superhero Kids


Illustrated by Leslie Lumeh





You are already old enough. That's the thing nobody tells you, and it's the thing twenty-one kids in this book figured out on their own. One gentled a wild mustang at twelve. One raised $370,000 for rare disease research, a batch of cookies at a time. One built an app so deaf people would know when an alarm was going off.

                
            		
        

    





    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    






    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    










    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    







                            		
                    

                    
                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    
    
    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        

    
    
They're not prodigies. They're kids with homework and
chores and bad days, who saw a problem close enough
to touch and decided it was theirs to work on. Superhero
Kids is nineteen true stories, plus a questionnaire to help
you find yours. Grades 5-8.
"These deeply personal stories of young humans striving
and succeeding will give you faith in the future of
humanity."

In 1911 a half breed Native American robs a train unaided and gets away clean. He takes only one item from the baggage car, a small steel trunk. He is not sure exactly what is in it but believes it to be very valuable. Once in his possession he finds that it is. To avoid attracting attention he uses his hoard very sparingly. He lives a comfortable but low-profile life and dies suddenly of natural causes 24 years later without telling anyone about his stash. 






                
            		
        

    





    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    






    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    










    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    







                            		
                    

                    
                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    
    
    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        

    
    



In present times, while doing an environmental assessment on a property he wants to develop, a struggling small time real estate developer stumbles across what remains of the treasure. Despite intensive covert research he cannot determine exactly what he has found and exploiting the discovery presents several problems. It is likely stolen. It is so rare that its value could be almost incalculable or it could be a protracted legal battle and, either way, it resides on land he does not own. To make matters even more daunting the property owner is asking much more for the land than it's worth and has suspicions that there could be something very valuable hidden there. So how does the developer secure ownership, enjoy possibly untold wealth and avoid spending the rest of his life supporting lawyers?








    
    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    




                            		
                    

                    

                        
                    

                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        

    
    






    

        

            
            
                
    
    


            
            
            
                
About the Author










Mike lives in colorful Colorado under the shadow of Long's Peak (elevation 14,259 ft). After grad school and a stint in Viet Nam for the US Army, Mike's first career was in business. He worked for large corporations for a while. Then he succumbed to the mysterious urge to work 60 hours per week with no guarantees of any income, no paid holidays or sick days, no health insurance and no expense account, so he started up several small businesses. 





                
            		
        

    





    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    






    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    










    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    







                            		
                    

                    
                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    
    
    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        

    
    
His serial entrepreneurial scorecard was three wins, two losses and one tie. The tie was the most fun of them all. Writing fiction is almost as much fun but the pay sucks.

The Mountains of Fury


In the adventurous second installment of the Soul Keepers series, three young heroes travel to the northern mountains to reclaim the land from a tyrant with powerful magic. While braving the fury of the mountain gods, they find a new ally, a new enemy, and numerous secrets waiting to be unburied. Their journey brings them closer to understanding their connection to each other and their past lives, as well as to a mysterious adversary who seems to know far too much about them. 

                
            		
        

    





    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    
    



    
    
    
    



    
    






    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    










    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    







                            		
                    

                    
                

                
                    
                    
                
            
        		
    






    


    

        
            
                
                

                
                

                

                    

                        
                    

                    

                        

    
    






    

        

            
            
                
    
    


            
            
            
                
About the Author




Born and raised in Colorado, Nicole Aisling has a bachelor's degree in biology (which she rarely uses). An incurable thirst for knowledge led her astray to philosophy and psychology classes, which inspired stories like her debut Chasing Nightmares. She loves merging magic with science, creating worlds grounded in physics and biology...but still fantastical. When she's not outside hiking or playing sand volleyball, she can be found cuddled up on the couch with her pets (border collie/lab mix named Ari and orange kitty Oz), settled in for either a good book or the latest TV episode.
