After his father died on 9/11 in the World Trade Center (25 years ago), nine-year-old Matthew John Bocchi began an obsessive quest to find out exactly how he died. He researched video tapes, pictures, blogs, anything that could potentially answer the question looming in his mind: Was his father one of the jumpers? In the first memoir told by a child of 9/11, Matt intimately delves into the psychological and emotional torment that ensued after his father's death. With heartbreaking vulnerability, he details how his incessant quest resulted in a devastating act of violence that stripped his innocence as a young man. As Matt spirals down a bottomless pit of drug abuse, he willfully risks his life in search of the next high - all in an attempt to forget his past.Now at 28 years old and sober, he recounts his unique story - one full of heartbreak and despair, grief and uncertainty, but most importantly, happiness and hope. The lesson he teaches us is clear but intricate: No matter how far you fall, you can always rise again. No matter how far you stray, you can always find your way home. And no matter how wide you sway, you can always pick up the pieces and stand tall.

When the President of the United States is assassinated in a coordinated drone strike, the country plunges into chaos. But the attack isn't terrorism. It's a strategy.In BLACKOUT: A Jake Bendel Thriller (October 6, 2026; 979-8990527379; JTech Publishing), Amazon bestselling author, J.

If Adam & Eve Never Gave Into Temptation                             What could life have been like for Adam and Eve if they had never disobeyed God?This is the interesting premise of Gardens in the Galaxies, the new speculative fiction novel by Mark Springer. It's his second work of fiction, following Flesh Becomes Words, the debut novel that blends science fiction with spirituality.Join Adam and Eve in this fictional adventure as they await judgement and sentencing for the original sin of disobeying God. Travel back in time with the first couple and an angel named Josiah who shows them how life began on earth. Then move into an unrealized future of gardens in the galaxies, the high life that God had always planned for them and all of mankind. Finally, return with Adam and Eve to their present situation as you witness the judgement and sentencing of their eternal fate by an all-merciful but just God.The book is speculative fiction; historical fiction that poses a question of what would have happened if a single event happened a different way. In this case, what would have happened if Adam and Eve did not disobey God in the Garden of Eden and bring about the fall of mankind?“The foundation of the book is based on an assumption of the truth of the scriptures,” says author Springer, “and it explores the connection between Adam and Eve, the first Adam, and Jesus Christ, proclaimed in the scriptures as being the "last Adam" and what that means for all of us today.”

One of the oft-asked questions when it comes to UB40 lore is how these young British born lads became multi-continent icons playing reggae-based pop. Though the Campbell brothers (Robin, Duncan and original lead singer Ali) were sons of famed Scottish folk singer Ian Campbell, they chose not to follow in his footsteps but play the reggae music that the major swell of Jamaican immigrants brought to Birmingham in the late 60s and 70s. In their multi-cultural hometown, the band members were also surrounded by Indian film music, including Bhangra and pop/Bollywood scores. The music they created - featuring insightful sociopolitical lyrics, tight reggae rhythms, dubby instrumental passages, sax solos and Jamaican scat vibes - became a quick favorite of a young, mainly blue collar and student crowd. Their music offered more depth than that of the many punk and ska and reggae influenced bands on the popular 2Tone label of the time.Finding their footing as a band during an era of skyrocketing unemployment during the early days of Thatcherism (a term referencing the conservative policies and political philosophy of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher), the band was purposely named for the UK government's Unemployed Benefit, Form 40 (which was incorporated in the cover artwork of their #2 UK debut album Signing Off), and their fourth UK Top Ten hit "One in Ten" (1981), written about UK's record number of unemployed, formed part of the soundtrack accompanying the race riots erupting in places like Brixton, Handsworth and St. Paul's in Bristol - hard pressed, inner city areas with large immigrant communities that had found themselves on the frontline in resisting the right wing policies of Margaret Thatcher's government.

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS with people who have made records with some of the biggest names in music. Along the way, they might be engineering the recordings, picking the songs, guiding the singers, picking the best takes of songs, balancing egos, fixing the lyrics, booking the studio time, buying lunch, playing instruments, pushing artists further, writing or cowriting the songs, selecting the musicians to use, overseeing the mixes, and many other tasks. Making records is always a combination of many skills and goals, and the producer needs to have what it takes to make the session productive and the music compelling.In this book, interviewees include people who have worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Public Enemy, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, P!nk, U2, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Wu-Tang Clan, David Bowie, T.Rex, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, the Replacements, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Tom Petty, and Sabrina Carpenter, plus more.

American Sign Language is used by the deaf, hearing-impaired, and those who teach, live, and work with them, which totals up to around two million people in North America. But an award-winning and best-selling children’s book author, Kathleen Marcath, believes many more kids should learn ASL. “It provides many educational and social advantages,” she says.“What truly sets this book apart is its thoughtful inclusion of American Sign Language (ASL),” says the author of My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me, and a companion book, My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me: Coloring and Activity Book. Each page introduces children  new to ASL signs and helpful tips, seamlessly blending play with education. From the moment I opened the book, the integration of sign language stood out as both unique and valuable. It's rare to see a children's activity book that so beautifully encourages communication and inclusivity while remaining entertaining.The learning opportunities feel endless. I could easily envision this being used not only at home but also within classroom settings. The educational value is immense, as children develop language, fine motor, and cognitive skills while discovering a new way to communicate through ASL. Her book is a vibrant new adventure in learning and play. Additionally, she has a 77-page color & activity book that provides fun and helps young readers discover the limitless potential of American Sign Language (ASL). Packed with variety, the coloring and activity book offers everything from sentence-writing practice and time-telling exercises to vocabulary building and art activities along with monster trucks, puzzles, mazes, early math, and writing prompts, this book gives children a hands-on way to explore language and build confidence through play. Whether your child is just beginning to sign or already loves ASL, they’ll find pages filled with laughter, challenge, and discovery.

A memoir of a marriage deeply rooted in love, faith, and literary art, featuring excerpts from Pulitzer Prize winner Oscar Hijuelos’ final, unpublished novel, Blue AntiquityIn A Writing Marriage (Regalo Press; hardcover, May 12, 2026, $30.00), Lori Carlson-Hijuelos reflects on the wonder of her union with Oscar, her soulmate. To write their love story, Lori chose a sacred place: the library of a nineteenth-century cathedral in her upstate New York hometown. True to their partnership in life, she created a work of collaboration, with Oscar’s voice, views, and presence shining through in excerpts from his unpublished fiction opus, Blue Antiquity, which he was working on at the time of his death. A unique blend of memoir and fiction, A Writing Marriage illuminates Lori’s life with Oscar, whom she met in 1981, nearly a decade before he became the first Latino author to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and who she wed in December 1998. In an interview, she can talk about:  The power of writing to create and remake worlds and reveal the writer - while reading her husband’s final, unpublished novel, Lori was struck by how the protagonist—an academic with a passion for archaeology and the son of Cuban immigrants—mirrors Oscar. In excerpts from Blue Antiquity, she captures Oscar’s zest for life, fascination with ancient civilizations, and spiritual development.The hallmarks of a foundational marriage, the kind devoted to serving, nourishing, and empowering each other, and why cositas, the “little things” that mark the way spouses treat each other, matter—whether it’s celebrating birthdays or holding hands.How writing has helped her as she deals with the profound grief and reality of widowhood - As Lori reflects, the word most used to explain what should happen to someone after the death of a spouse is healing. She prefers the verb reconstructing. “Reconstruction is what I am encountering.”
