"The Noise of Silence" is the English version of the debut novel of Danish author Nicholas Nørgaard that hit the shelfs in Denmark in the fall of 2017. The story is a two parted tale, that follows the ups and downs of Sebastian and his sister Sabine, who grow up in a broken home with a father missing and a mother drinking, and their journey to find out who they are - or at least who they are not. The second part of the story follows Natasja, who is fighting with the loss of her parents, the fight for finding her place in the world, and finding her sexuality. You will read about betrayal, love, hate, friendship, abuse, desperation, fear, killing and loss in a drama that made a name for itself by yelling for deaf ears.The book was acclaimed for its storyline, the development of the characters and the willingness to take risks and tell a story about betrayal, abuse and finding yourself in a world full of hurt and lack of love. The book is based on real life events. "This book lights a spark in a dark, secret and dysfunctional room. In this room, parents who don't like their children live, where abuse is part of the everyday, where stepparents touch their stepchildren, where women are taken hostage by sociopathic men... Where destruction is always close. The Noise of Silence is a fitting title, but the book screams so much" - FIVE STARS.
Constantinople 1302.
Luca Baldi, a young shepherd, is catapulted into the violent world of mercenary warfare when he is forced to flee his native Sicily. He falls in with the Almogavars – ruthless mercenaries from the Catalonia region of Spain who have just finished butchering the French during a 20-year war on the island. He and they take ship to Constantinople when they are hired by the Byzantine emperor, whose empire is disintegrating in the face of remorseless Muslim advances.
Alone and marooned amid danger and violence and surrounded by enemy forces, Luca must master the Almogavar way of war to survive. Plunged into the brutal world of Medieval warfare when the mercenaries take the fight to the emperor’s many enemies, can Luca live through fighting impossible odds as he battles to preserve a crumbling empire that has stood for a thousand years?
‘The Black Sheep’ is the first volume in the Catalan Chronicles, a Medieval saga set in the early 14th century. Maps of the Byzantine Empire and western Anatolia at this time can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d have a chance with my best friend’s hot, straight, older brother.
Kelly… I need a fake boyfriend to take along on my family vacation to keep my mom from trying to play matchmaker all the time so I ask my best friend’s straight older brother Dean if he’ll pretend to be my love interest. I’ve had a crush on him for years so I’m understandably over the moon when he says yes.
Dean… I’m torn when my baby brother’s gay best friend asks me to be his plus one on his family trip. On one hand, hey, free vacation, but on the other hand, I’ll be sharing a bed with another man. He says all I’ll be expected to do is hold his hand on occasion and occupy the other half of a kingsize bed… but you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men…
‘Luca Baldi is an illiterate peasant, a scrawny wretch who has a seditious streak and who under normal circumstances would have been hanged or burnt at the stake long ago. However, fate, or God, has seen fit to smile on his miserable existence.’
And not only on Luca Baldi. After their stunning victory over the Romans, the Catalan mercenaries have become kings in the land of the enemy. Luca and his friends are enjoying the spoils of victory and basking in their new-found status. But dark clouds are gathering on the horizon and soon Luca, and the Catalan Company, will be sucked into the maelstrom of power politics. Old enemies with grievances to settle will target Luca himself and the Catalans will come up against a new foe – the daunting Empress Irene.
Fresh battles beckon for Luca, the Almogavars and the Catalan Company in ‘The Golden Lion’, the third volume in the Catalan Chronicles, the saga of a mercenary band that brought the Byzantine Empire to its knees at the beginning of the fourteenth century.

Against the backdrop of 1960s music and culture, comes a tale of memories and mayhem...and loyalty and love...and racism, revenge, and rock n' roll.
1990 - Key West, Florida - On a moonlit evening, the "Journal of Johnny Cipp" is discovered on a secluded beach. It has been more than twenty-three years since its author disappeared from his home 1500 miles away. His opening journal entry is cryptic in its message. "Unlike the lyrics to the classic rock song, 'The Summer of '69,' the Jimmy in my band didn't quit, and my Joey didn't get married. In my life, they died. In fact, except for me, they all died . . . and I have never before told our story."
1967 - Southeast Queens, New York is in turmoil. Amid the escalating chaos, five young men form a band in hopes of escaping the mounting violence, poverty, and drugs surrounding them. Their story, as told in Johnny’s Journal, weaves an intricate tale of five individuals who attempt to succeed with their only available weapons—their loyalty to each other and their music. As the group bonds both musically and personally, each band member comes to realize that the band holds the promise of a brighter future. In June of 1967, they got their big break, and it was the beginning of the end.
Praise for Band in the Wind . . .
"This book is an almost perfect blend of music, nostalgia, a coming-of-age story...and tragedy! It really does have a bit of everything. Highly entertaining."
- Online Book Review (4/4 stars)

“Rostron manages to capture the mood of this tumultuous time—a feat that takes
skill, a great memory, and the ability to put emotion into words.”
- Writers Digest Self Published Book Awards
***
This tale told by Rostron succeeds...massively. It is a story told with dollops of nitty and gritty but also some blasts and burns that will thrill you as powerfully as...well...as a power chord. A giant power chord, amped up with emotions, friendship, cruelty, hate, revenge, and love
.- James J. Spina (contributor to Rolling Stone, Hit Parader, Creem, and Mojo)

"A must-read for book-lovers hoping to experience the lost, yet somehow lingering, days of 1960s American culture."
