Do you believe society needs genuine, healthy masculinity?
Masculinity, in any form, has been viciously attacked for decades with serious unintended consequences. We need boys to grow into responsible, productive men and fathers. We need their strength to face down evil, and they need a guide to help them navigate this new wilderness, to find and define their masculinity in the gender-confused world of today.
This memoir is filled with modern male friendships, advice, career tips for Christian men, and stories about Savage’s own experiences on a quest for answers. Savage hopes this will not only be able to help inform individuals, but that this work of God’s will writing for men will be a group ministry discussion- starter for adult Christian men.
In The Savage Path, David Savage uses humility and humor to highlight the hard-won wisdom gleaned along his path— – successes, failures, friendships, and family. Much of what he shares comes from real wilderness adventures. This is a quest memoir about Christian men and how they can live a physically, mentally, and morally healthy life in modern society.
Come sit by the campfire, feel its warmth, and let it draw you into the intimate storytelling environment that only its flickering flame and the expansive night sky can provide. You are entering a sacred place to engage in the genuine pursuit of authentic manhood.
In the back streets of Old Rome, near the famous Bernini monument, The Fountain of the Four Rivers, La Dolce Vita turns from sweet...to sour. A naïve American tourist gets involved with poets, the Mafia, an opera singer, a movie star, and a film being shot at Cinecittà.
In the grand tradition of Mark Twain, Norman B. Schwartz recounts the comic misadventures of an innocent abroad—neither an Ugly American nor a Quiet one—but someone young who soon learns that within the Eternal City one cannot stay that innocent for long.In the late 1950s NORMAN B. SCHWARTZ was working as an assistant film editor at Columbia Pictures in Hollywood when he heard that the studio was making a series of films in co-production in Rome. He left the states on his own and headed to Italia, where as his buona fortuna would have it, he found work and stayed for ten years.
In Italy the first picture he worked on was the Ray Harryhausen’s Dynamation classic Jason And The Argonauts (1963). When he was not working in the Roman studios, he went south and beachcombed in old fishing villages like Positano on the Amalfi coast. He learned to speak Italian and live as Italians do: Dolce fa niente, “the sweetness of doing nothing.
”In the 70s Mr. Schwartz returned to Hollywood, eventually to collaborate on the sound tracks of such Oscar-winning feature films as The Exorcist and E.T. the Extraterrestrial. He became the first ADR sound editor and director ever admitted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He also taught writing, directing and acting for 20+ years in the U.S.A., France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Nigeria and the UAE. He is the author of three comic novels: ALL THINGS small; Don Juan in Space; and Hollywood Below and Beyond (an illusory memoir).

She’s chasing her new life, but an unexpected tragedy brings him closer than ever before.
Edie has nothing left in New York City. Her friends are married, her father has passed, and her big chance to change her life drifted off with the wind.
When she overhears women talking about a far-off paradise where an American can live an inexpensive, luxurious life, Edie knows that this is the next step for the Carow women. Determined to make the best of her life, to explore the artist she could be, Edie sets out to cross the Atlantic and move to Italy, leaving behind the Roosevelts and American spinsterhood forever.
But a tragedy is brewing under the Roosevelt roof, and Theo’s world is about to crumble. Edie doesn’t know where she fits into the Roosevelt world anymore, but she knows this: Edith Kermit Carow will change her life no matter what.
Based on the true story of Theodore Roosevelt II’s second wife, World Without End, Amen is the final book in the Edie in Love trilogy. If you loved Edie in Would That I Could and Perhaps I Will, pick up this riveting conclusion today!
An intriguing mixture of stories, all in Leela Dutt’s inimitable style – something here for everyone, and beautifully illustrated by Kate Attfield.
Some are short and funny, some poignant – widows faced with losing their grandchildren, a daughter burying her father and dealing with a domineering mother. One endearing narrator is not human at all but still strikes a chord with us. Time travellers visit Hans Andersen’s Copenhagen; a young German boy is welcomed by some but by no means all in Hertfordshire just after the war. Perilous adventures in a hire car in the south of France are described by a lad who is unaware that at the very moment he’s telling us about his family holiday, London is under attack. A young Japanese car manufacturer encounters the strange people of the South Wales Valleys – and their grandfather who was a prisoner of war in Burma. Finally the life story of a Quaker celebrating her ninetieth birthday at the end of the century.
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."

The MV Militobi, a German rescue ship, teeming with 600 Arab, African, and South Asian migrants, patrols the Mediterranean Sea and learns that all European ports refuse entry to asylum-seekers. Captain Anna Kruger has a decision to make: return immediately to the nearest port to place passengers in a detention camp for deportation or head to an uncharted island she found on an old map as a temporary solution.
Santa Inez Island is a paradise with plenty of food, water, and shelter and is already the home of hundreds of migrants. Modern-day pirates, led by Commandant Rafael Delgado, kidnap Captain Kruger and thirty female passengers as soon as they set foot on the island. The remaining ship’s crew is given one month to bring back a million Euro ransom or the hostages will be put to death!
Under the cover of darkness, First Officer Jorge Estrada, leads the crew back to mount a rescue. Unarmed and undermanned, he must persuade all three villages, segregated by Delgado’s men on the island, to join him or the rescue will fail. His challenge? All three groups believe the pirates protect them from the violence of the other villages.
Throughout this novel, Captain Kruger, Commandant Delgado, Jorge Estrada, and a cast of memorable, migrant characters inhabit a magnificent island that brims with life. Fast-paced and entertaining, Finding Eden and its complementary additions (audio clips and deleted chapters) make for an elegantly constructed and timely story of the monumental challenges facing asylum-seekers today and the people who give their lives to help them.
The Test Pilot’s Wife is the bittersweet saga of Lura Lee Dunn and WWI flying ace Eugene Hoy Barksdale. Written in the spirit of The Aviator’s Wife and The Second Mrs. Astor, this historical fiction novel features cameos from such notable characters as Jimmy Doolittle and Amelia Earhart.
WWI is waning in Europe, but Lieutenant Barksdale’s near constant aerial combat missions have taken their toll. Homeward bound—his physical wounds are healing, while haunting mental wounds linger.
Lura Lee Dunn is an aspiring concert pianist, whose own personal battle is just beginning. The women’s suffrage movement is on the rise, emboldening her to break free from her prominent father’s outdated expectations. Unexpectedly, at a posh Hollis House gala, she meets a young pilot, one just home from fighting the Jerries over France. There is no ignoring Barksdale’s quick wit and Southern charm. But try as she might to avoid the young aviator, Lura finds herself drawn to him.
Barksdale quickly rises in the ranks as one of America’s top test pilots. Soon, Lura hears accounts of the young pilot’s dramatic exploits—breakneck aerial races, parachuting from planes, and so many death-defying crashes—that the man seems to border on the suicidal.
Lura readies to leave—to study at Chicago’s renowned Perfield Music School. Tying her fate to the enigmatic pilot, will only bring disaster into her life. But even as dark clouds form in the skies above, she cannot ignore the pull, or the need, to stay.
Advance Reader Reviews:
Best Historical Fiction Book I’ve Read in Years!
I love wwi and wwii historical fiction. I read the Aviator’s Wife last year and found myself craving more of this type of book. Mark Wayne McGinnis is a new author for me, but I will definitely be checking out his other books. What a fantastic family sage historical fiction book!- Kelly S
The Test Pilot’s Wife
I’m drawn to aviation historical fiction books. I’ve read the Aviator’s Wife by Melanie Benjamin as well as The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Sherve. The Test Pilot’s wife is an adventure historical fiction book that follows the lives of Hoy Barksdale and Lura Lee Genz during the 1920s. The book covers romance, the struggles of the suffrage, south vs north, aviation, and family drama. There are many books out there that talk about these things, but this book is special… it really touched me and with each page I read I found myself more enthralled in the story.
Best WWI Historical Fiction Book I’ve Read in Ten Years!
Mark Wayne McGinnis has captured the 1920s to a tee. I felt as if I were there plopped in the middle of New York in the early part of the twentieth century. I’ve read The Aviator’s Wife and The Personal Librarian, and I thought this book, The Test Pilot’s Wife was right on par with these two best-selling historical fiction novels. If you love books about pilots or historical fiction books for women, you will love this one. - Katie H.
Love The Test Pilot’s Wife!
What a nice surprise. This was my first time reading this author, and I’m so glad I took a chance on him. I love New York historical fiction, especially the early 20th Century. I could tell right away that this novel, The Test Pilot’s Wife, was well-researched and that it was likely edited by multiple professional editors. The writing reminded me of Lady Clementine by Marie Benedict. Perfection.
New York Historical Fiction.
What a fun adventure historical fiction novel. There were many unexpected twists and turns. I loved how much detail the author went into placing the characters into a time and place in the 1920s. I have read Mark’s other books, which are largely in the Military science fiction genre… Scrapyard Ship, USS Hamilton, The Simpleton, etc., but his latest was just as entertaining…. In a very different way. Five well-deserved stars for The Test Pilot’s Wife.
'Veritas Vincit' ... 'Truth Conquers'.
The World Governments lied to anyone who would listen, and then the
Great War happened. Now in 3000 AD control over humankind is complete.
Readers will ask questions, think critically, and find
themselves immersed in emotion in this post-apocalyptic dystopia thriller.
The World Council ensures survivors pledge a blind faith to a higher order. Obey
the prime directive..."The past cannot be discussed under penalty of death", yet
whispers persisted that there was a land where exceptionalism allowed one to dream to be free of control.

"A deep and allegorical journey" -SFFAddicts
When a fisherman unwittingly discovers clues about other people wielding great technologies, fear and uncertainty of exposure throw both societies into conflict, and forces a clutch of artificial intelligence stewards to confront their obligations to humanity. As real and virtual worlds collide, so too do the worldviews that have caused this centuries-long stand-off.
Future-primitive Tellurians have enjoyed a peaceful coexistence with nature for centuries after the moment of technological collapse, described in ancient texts as Cloudburst. Only the studied elders are aware of a diaspora virtual civilization who secretly covets their energy ...and their bodies.
Tieri-Na rejects stories she's heard about abductions in the hinterlands. Life in the far north can be harsh, unforgiving. But nature shares her bounties with those who learn her ways. To Tieri, the forest is freedom from the hustle of the village… until the day she too goes missing.
Alai-Tiul longs for answers. Other villagers believe teachings about the perils of technology, yet he can’t help but wonder if there’s more to the old stories. What really happened centuries ago after Cloudburst wiped out everything… and everyone? If that history was so terrible, then why are the ancient wind towers, givers of unlimited energy, revered without question? To his inquiries, the elders reply,
“Meddle not with what we do not understand.”
But Alai does meddle, curious about the past and its people. When he discovers a metal cube in the forest, he exposes a secret. A secret about the world he shouldn’t know, and through his meddling, one that may disrupt the fate of humanity.
Aur Child immerses the reader in a world of hope and uncertainty, where merchant ships sail the winds between future-primitive villages and artificial intelligences harbor the exiles of virtual worlds, and presents a fresh approach to post-apocalyptic Earth, blurring the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, and heroes and villains.
