Mary F. Belmont announces the release of ‘Stepping Over Rooftops’

Mary F. Belmont marks her first foray in the world of fiction with the release of “Stepping Over Rooftops” (published by Archway Publishing).

Similar to Jennifer Worth’s “Call the Midwife,” this historical tale follows the journey of a young Italian nurse trainee into adulthood as she works alongside patients, teachers and other students to contribute to the promise of America through healthcare. The stories are taken from actual diaries and photos of nursing students from the late 19th century. These young women overcame prejudice and their own insecurities to succeed as pioneers in the healthcare of underserved people. It depicts the mystery, joy of saving a newborn, sadness of separation from the people and places they love, and romance all wrapped in the history of the era of mass immigration to America.

“I want young readers to know that you should never give up your dreams and that life is enriched by giving to others and that life is enriched by giving to others less fortunate,” Belmont says.

Recent release “13 Forgotten” from Page Publishing author Gregory Quinn is a stirring novel based on the true story of thirteen Russian Jews desperate to escape Eastern Europe, where Hitler’s genocide was matched by the murderous persecution of Stalin’s regime. A small band of sailors on an American merchant marine vessel risk everything to help them and change the lives of all on board forever.

Gregory Quinn, a Kansas City, Missouri native and avid drag racing enthusiast who founded a successful construction company specializing in fire and water damage restoration, restored a dilapidated bowling center and turned it into a successful business, and painted his super pro ‘67 Camaro race car pink and raised thousands of dollars doing fundraisers for families that have been affected by cancer, has completed his new book “13 Forgotten”: an evocative work that keeps the pages turning until its satisfying conclusion.

Thirteen Jews, stowaways, made it to the coast of America only to be caught. They sat together on the deck of the old ship, land of the free in sight, knowing they would be sent back to communist Russia.

What would be waiting for them there? If they were lucky, a quick execution, probably ending up in a gulag, and working to the death.

Maybe, possibly, they could escape again. What would be the outcome? Execution? Drowning, prison? Nobody knew. One thing is for sure, they were not about to give up.

Two choices—escape or death!

Published by Page Publishing, Gregory Quinn’s engrossing book is a riveting choice for avid realistic non-fiction readers.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “13 Forgotten” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

An intellectually gifted young man sets out on a quest to avoid jihad, tries to eliminate poverty and spread education amongst the poor of the country

Akhtar Allahabadi announces the release of “Life of Akbar: Part One ( Life with Taliban)” (published by AuthorHouse UK), an epic tale of determination and devotion of an intellectually gifted young man who sets out on a quest to avoid jihad, tries to eliminate poverty and spread education amongst the poor of the country.

While growing up in a village in a mountainous region spread across both Afghan and Pakistani territories, Akbar Khan transforms into an understanding and intelligent boy who is devoted to his studies of the Quran and resolving problems. In a land where no one argues with the Taliban, his parents do their best to keep him from being thrust into the jihad against the enemies of Islam, for Akbar is highly regarded in their village and in demand for his wisdom beyond his years.

When he is 13, Akbar notices Jameela. Almost immediately, Akbar becomes determined to follow his heart and make her his through marriage, no matter how long it takes. As he begins to work on making his dream come true, a chain of unexpected events unfold, and how he maneuvers his own destiny through the dangers of life amongst the Taliban and how kismet helps him escape to a near-normal life and happiness.

“This story is placed in a very important area of the world. The culture and challenges are unknown and very interesting. A great deal of action has taken place in and around the Afghan people. No other book has taken up such a story like this,” Allahabadi says. When asked what he wants readers to take way from the book, he answers, “An understanding that these people are as good and tough as anyone else.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.authorhouse.com/en-gb/bookstore/bookdetails/828025-life-of-akbar

Recent release “The Way It Was: Brooklyn, New York 1950 to 1960” from Page Publishing author Michael J. Horvath is a subjective and objective composite of life in a Brooklyn, New York, neighborhood (Cypress Hills) during the time period from 1950 to 1960.

Michael J. Horvath has completed his new book “The Way It Was: Brooklyn, New York 1950 to 1960”: a gripping and potent book about a young boy’s personal experiences, and perceptions, of the people and institutions around him and his unique interactions that occurred during a decade that set the stage for the striking societal transformations that would soon unfold in the sixties. The objective and subjective context of this writing is a historical testimony to a way of life that has been frozen in time forever.

Author Michael J. Horvath writes, “Growing up in the fifties was dramatically different from living in today’s world. In my view, life was relatively simple compared with the complex technological innovations that we now experience. A quick glance back in time will reveal some staggering differences in the way we lived. Let’s unravel several decades of history and return to briefly examine the music, automobiles, medicine, technology, and social relationships.”

He continues, “The big-band era of the forties was silently subsiding, but the question was, what would now fill this musical void? The answer became quite apparent when a rather large legion of so-called doo-wop groups emerged onto the scene, with lead singers who distinguished themselves with beautiful vocals. Often accompanied by at least three or four group members, these skilled artists blended together to produce sensational harmonies. Instrumentation was subordinated to the vocal melodies that were created by these great voices. There were of course backup musicians, and even orchestras, but the focal point was always on the individual vocalization.”

Published by Page Publishing, Michael J. Horvath’s intriguing narrative offers a subjective profile of life in a Brooklyn neighborhood, including all aspects of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase “The Way It Was: Brooklyn, New York 1950 to 1960” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
