The Trouble with Telling
Bickford Penn
Weary of whodunits?
Looking for something daringly different?
How about a quirky mystery/romance with a heady premise?
To wit, discovering the root of one’s subconscious desires. No murders to solve here, but a socially challenged Army Specialist’s struggles with his uncontrollable impulses could lead to death by embarrassment. Meanwhile, a geeky but gutsy
first-year college student gets even with her devious boss by undermining his illicit activities.
Two tales of woe and intrigue have been woven into one.
The Trouble with Telling is a coming-of age story about perceptions, misperceptions, and the pain of personal growth. The truth is out there…maybe.

Record Man
The Story of Phil Gernhard, Florida’s No 1 Hit Producer
Bill DeYoung
Phil Gernhard was not only the most successful record producer to come out of Florida, he introduced many of the state’s homegrown artists to the world stage – including Jim Stafford (“Spiders & Snakes”), Lobo (“Me and You and a Dog Named Boo”) the Bellamy Brothers (“Let Your Love Flow”) and the Royal Guardsmen (“Snoopy vs. the Red Baron,” which he also co-authored).
Yet for all his success, Gernhard was a deeply troubled man whose personal life was ravaged by alcoholism and drug abuse, four failed marriages and a simmering hatred towards his abusive father.
Told with comments from his family, friends, business associates and nearly every singer and songwriter he produced, Record Man is the story of a man for whom music was a life raft.

Wishes and Choices: Mythral’s Wish
D.B. Thomas
It is a long-standing prophecy that “Mythral’s Choice will doom or save the Realms.” But which choice is that: the initial spell creating the Three Realms; the unorthodox selection of a girl apprentice; or the desperate casting of an insanely dangerous Spell?
Wishes and Choices: Mythral’s Wish is filled with moral dilemmas and mental puzzles to engage and challenge the reader. The quest to alter Mythral’s foreseen death leads them to all three Realms. Within these Realms, the reader will encounter gryphons, dragons, wizards with unique talents and even stranger dwellings, myths and mysteries. As they confront dark magic and betrayal, they must face their own flaws. Surviving the final confrontation compels both of them to fundamentally alter themselves in unforeseen ways.
