A hemispheric sojourn from Santiago, Chile to Ottawa, Canada, We Can Change the World captures the passions and motivations of largely unknown actors through the civil rights, anti-Vietnam War and Women's Liberation movements, the Cuban and Nicaraguan Revolutions, the Chilean Coup, the Salvadoran civil war, the South Africa anti-apartheid campaign, the struggle for Mayan cultural survival, human rights initiatives, and more. We Can Change the World is both homage and cautionary tale, bringing to life everyday people engaged in extra-ordinary acts, some noble and worthy of celebration, others tragically misguided. It is a unique revisiting of many of the defining moments of our times.
This is a true story about a magical day in the author's neighborhood in 1946, when, as one of the little boys this story is about, he learned something that changed his life forever. Billy Bob, TC, Double M and others were the best friends of his childhood, and those decades were a different time, when children could run loose, and did. When they played with pocket knives and shot each other with rubber-guns and BB-guns and used inappropriate language when their parents couldn't hear. And when they learned unexpected lessons in unexpected places. There are some parents who will be unhappy because the children in this story use language adults might wish they did not ... though all children no doubt do so, when their parents are not around. Some readers are going to be disappointed because the neighborhood in the story is not an inclusive one, so not all children will find visual images of themselves reflected here. But the lesson itself is a universal one. Maybe it is for our children. Or maybe it's for us. Things ain't always the way they appear to be.
The author introduces The Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God to the reader in a deeply personal narrative. During a difficult time in her life, she visited Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York, and was blessed to encounter a miracle-working copy of this icon which resides in the Church of Saint Job of Pochaev, located below Holy Trinity Cathedral. The original icon resides at the Holy Dormition Pochaev Lavra in Ukraine and is widely known for healing of the sick, helping in times of war, and many other documented miracles. The flow of miracles from this venerable icon continues to this day. The author preserves her transformative experience and personal revelations in this book as a testament to the spiritual beauty and holy history of the Pochaev Icon.

For television, Curtis created the Gothic serial Dark Shadows and made horror movies (The Night Strangler), crime dramas (The Great Ice Rip-Off), trilogies (Dead of Night), family dramas (The Long Days of Summer), love stories (The Love Letter), and more. The revised second edition of this book provides an overview of all four dozen of Dan Curtis's productions, from Challenge Golf (1963) to Our Fathers (2005). Nights of Dan Curtis takes an even more detailed look at the auteur director's influential production of Dracula (CBS, 1974); two of his crime dramas, Melvin Purvis, G-Man and The Kansas City Massacre (ABC, 1974, 1975); his exuberant Western, The Last Ride of the Dalton Gang (NBC, 1979); his pair of epic miniseries, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance (ABC, 1983, 1988/1989); and his UFO miniseries, Intruders: They Are Among Us (CBS, 1992). Also included are rare photographs, factual "significa," and information about newer events in the world of Dark Shadows, such as Tim Burton's 2012 film Dark Shadows and David Gregory's 2019 documentary Master of Dark Shadows. Nights of Dan Curtis features more than 115 photographs, a foreword by CHiPs star Larry Wilcox, a preface by My Music producer Jim Pierson, and an afterword by Loon Lake director Ansel Faraj.

"This is retired Judge Ray Guadagni's second book, following 'The Adventures of the Squeeze Box Kid' which described life in small town Napa in the '50s. 'Tuna the Wonder Dog' takes us to his attendance at UC Berkley, UC Hastings Law School and the beginning of his long and storied legal career through the '60s, '70s and beyond. His 17 1/2 year relationship with his fantastic wonder dog Tuna is lovingly described in beautiful prose. Thank you so much, Roy, for sharing your memories and humor with us! I can't wait for your third book!" Judge Richard Bennett (Ret.)

At fifteen, Rose had it all - friends, a loving family, a job, and her own bank account. She wasn't looking for romance until Clay, a handsome cowboy with a gentle kiss, changed all that one summer's night. Their love story would span three decades until his family intervened and turned this fairy tale into a modern-day Romeo and Juliet; exposing everyone's true character and putting Rose's life in jeopardy. As you form your own opinions about spineless Clay and his decisions, the red flags missed and the opportunities wasted, you might not be able to put this book down - although you will be tempted to throw it across the room. It's a story full of twists and turns, love and hate, reality and fantasy, and it's based on true events. You can't make this stuff up.
