    The Brand New Novel Passages A Voyage From War To Peace From Author PK Edgewater
    Apr 18 2026
    Bound by chance and the intimacy of therapy, an old warrior and a fledgling psychiatrist test each other’s true north. Miko, the precocious son of a Greek fisherman, has weathered an indecisive path to adulthood in medicine and psychiatry. . . or has he? Dormant in his soul is a muse for writing and a smoldering guilt of abandoning his father. His training trajectory finds him in Tulsa, USA, of all places, where a 2 a.m. hospital admission, the aging, drunk, and potentially violent Vietnam veteran AJ becomes the young physician's patient. A metaphysical quirk awaits them. Unwitting confidants in the quest to understand what each is missing, the two trade insights best borne from meeting the other where he is. AJ is a prisoner of the exhilarating echoes of a confusing war; Miko suppresses his own psychological turmoil while exposing that of others. A chance meeting of their wives leads to a bond kept hidden under norms of confidentiality. Each woman finds something of themselves in the other and the moxie to withstand battles in their own marriages, on their own terms. Why AJ was brought to the hospital by the police that night pits a sense of duty against self-destruction. Why was there but a single round in his Luger that night? In Passages, the author takes aim at our enigmatic humanity. Each of us is the hero in his or her own life, a contrast of magnificence and flaws, navigating the complexity of principles and barriers as best one can.

    The Navigators Letter From Author Jan Cress Dondi The Birth Of Zero Altitude Air Raids
    Mar 30 2026
    The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them TogetherInterviews Available February 2-7, and Upon Requesthttps://jancressdondi.com/ Beginning early on August 1, 1943, Operation Tidal Wave was a risky mission aimed at destroying high-octane fuel production vital to Nazi Germany. It involved the first-ever zero-altitude air raid just 150 feet above the ground – but chances of success were ranged between 50% and suicide. In missions to destroy fuel-rich Ploesti, Romania, 2,432 US bomber crewmen went missing, became POW’s or were killed in action. Jan Cress Dondi shares the inside story surrounding this historic mission in the new book, THE NAVIGATOR’S LETTER: The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, a Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them Together (Union Square & Co., February 10, 2026). The connected war stories of her uncle, John B. White, and her father, Bob Cress, are captured in the letters they both wrote to the same woman, Polley, who became Jan’s mother. Both John B. and Bob became navigators on B-24 Bombers, both flew multiple combat missions in Europe, and both were forced down over the hotly targeted oilfields of Ploesti, Romania.

Margie Bucheit retells this renowned chapter of 20th Century history in her new, extensively researched historical novel, WE CHOSE RESISTANCE (Koehler Books, November 2025). Numbering roughly 400,000 fighters, the French resistance helped the Allies to confuse, slow, and effectively stop Hitler’s army before winning France back into the hands of its citizens.

  • The Story Of Bob From Steven C Law Through Darkness Came A Global Activation

    The Story Of Bob From Steven C Law Through Darkness Came A Global Activation
    Mar 21 2026
    Steven C. Law, author of the new book, THE STORY OF BOB (Feb. 16, 2026)? Steven tells the life of Reverend Robert W. Wood: a World War II veteran, ordained Christian minister, and early gay rights advocate who chose visibility at a time when silence was often the only path to survival. In 1960—nearly a decade before Stonewall—Wood published Christ and the Homosexual, a radical act that openly affirmed gay people within a religious world that overwhelmingly rejected them.Drawing from intimate interviews and deep archival research, Law traces Wood’s life from his early awareness of his identity, through wartime service, to his involvement with the Mattachine Society and his quiet but consequential role in shaping early LGBTQ+ advocacy. Wood was never famous, never safe, and never passive. His activism came with real costs—professional, personal, and spiritual.What makes The Story of Bob especially compelling for LGBTQ+ readers is its human scale. This is not a mythic hero’s tale, but the story of a gay man navigating love, faith, fear, desire, and integrity in a world that offered him very few models for living openly. The book restores Bob to queer history as someone who lived authentically when doing so could cost everything.
