Humor, agriculture and young love all come together in Joan Bauer's first novel, set in rural Iowa.

How does a foul-mouthed angel end up as the last hope for all of Heaven and Earth? When Seraph Emma is maimed and tossed from Heaven by a rogue angel who's taken charge, she fears she'll never be allowed to return. Tasked with the impossible job of showing the self-loathing (and not even human!) Jason his worth, Emma is sure she's doomed to fail. Meanwhile, having wormed his way into Heaven, the corrupt Everett has trapped God in Hell and has designs on unleashing evil everywhere. Fortunately, if there's one thing Emma can't do (in addition to minding her language), it's give up. Determined to save Jason and get back to Heaven-even if it means going to Hell-Emma's plan is simple yet impossible: trick the Devil to save God. What she doesn't count on is the devotion and, well, humanity she finds in Jason; the spirit, hidden compassion, and raw sex appeal within the Devil; and the vulnerability of her own heart. With the help of two unlikely allies, she'll wage the battle for Heaven. But will Emma be sidetracked by a new sort of heaven along the way? What's truly more dangerous? Falling from Heaven, or falling in love? Debra Anastasia has twisted a fast-paced tale of intimate relationships with literally universal impact. Rich with humor and electrified by attraction, this novel offers a playfully off-beat take on the good and evil that make up the world.

In My Brothers Footsteps, The Battle Back is a poignant, heart- warming and sometimes funny accounting of my life. It tells of love, trust, fear, dismay and conquest. From a little boy with ADD learning life's lessons the hard way on the streets of New York, to a misguided troubled youth, to growing up in the prison system and then founding one of the most successful drug treatment programs for youth in the country. The story centers around my relationship with my older brother (by six years) who led me down the road of drugs, crime, and prison until I fought back with the help of a therapeutic community to become the person I am today. The book also serves as a reminder for parents and teachers of children with ADD and /or drug- related problems that something must be done immediately. The problems of ADD and drug abuse are devastating and, if not dealt with, can lead you through a lifetime of anguish and I know that the more we tell parents and teachers about these concerns, the easier it will be for them to recognize and deal with them. This book was written the way I speak, from the heart with the flavor of the streets in every word. I hope you enjoy it.

CRUSH-ED is not another whining story about the African experience, even though the title may lead in that direction. The title is really an acronym for the strategies that Africa (the sub-Saharan region in particular), must adopt if it is not to face extinction in the medium to long term. The book presents pungent, and urgent, analysis of the precarious situation that that region of Africa has found itself; a situation foisted not only by the historical facts of slave trade and colonialism (as most texts on the subject are wont to aver), but most importantly the failure of the African states themselves to properly interpret their cultures and how those clash with the ones they are trying to adopt and adapt to. CRUSH-ED navigates the tortuous terrain, delivering enough kicks in the belly to all stakeholders; chiefly the Africans themselves, the colonisers, the dominant cultures, the superpowers, the politicians, and not least, the author himself! This book should refresh every reader, especially those who are ready to be objective and face some inconvenient truths, about the world... about themselves.
