When Josh Hagarty interviewed for employment with New Africa, a U.S. charitable organization purporting to manage various foreign aid projects, little did he know that in reality this so-called focused charity was in fact connected to some very nasty accomplices including an American con man, a Russian Mafia thug and the country’s brutal dictator Umbito Mtitsi.

Publisher: Bantam Dell

Illegal could have simply been an ordinary adventure story, but Levine has given it greater depth as he brilliantly captures the plight of illegal immigrants and the sickening conditions that they are subjected to including slavery, brutal punishments and even murder at the hands of their master employers who try to pass themselves off as good Samaritans.

Edward P. Djerejian, author of An American Ambassador’s Journey Through The Middle East served both Democratic and Republican presidents under eight administrations from John F. Kennedy to William Jefferson Clinton.  In addition, Djerejian served as Ambassador to Syria and Israel and was the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs under Bush and Clinton.

Upon his departure from Israel, Yitzhak Rabin gave a most appropriate toast to him when he stated that he and his wife Leah regretted his short tenure in Israel (one year) and he went on to mention that never had there been an American diplomat who came to Israel after being the ambassador to Syria.

Norm Goldman, Publisher & Editor of Bookpleasures.com interviews Homa Poursagari debut author of Lemon Curd

Title: Lemon Curd
Author: Homa Pourasgari
ISBN: 13:978-0-9779780-0-7:  10:0:9779780-0-1
Publisher: Linbrook Press

 Homa Poursagari’s debut novel, Lemon Curd is a good old- fashioned romance story, however in this case the author has adopted a refreshing different approach from today’s usual run-of-the mill love stories that resemble nothing more than pornography where more ink is devoted to hot steamy graphic sex scenes rather then the story itself.

Norm Goldman Publisher & Editor of Bookpleasures.com interviews R. (Rick) Allen Downey author of Kwatee and Pirate Queen: The Curse.

Author: R. Allen Downey
ISBN: 10:14196900868: 13:978-1419690860

 
R. Allen Downey once again reminds his readers what an unexpected bombshell a book can turn out to be. In Pirate Queen: The Curse Downey uses all kinds of “goodies” such as pirates, British M16 secret agents possessing telekinetic powers, Jewish ghosts or dybbuks, a ghastly torture chamber used at the time of the Spanish Inquisition, ghouls, and voodoo curses. All of these and a host of other props stream together on the pages of this spellbinding novel to create a mesmerizing yarn that seems to live and breathe on its own.  In fact, this is one work of fiction you won’t just put down and forget about it once you have completed its reading for you will certainly want to hash it over with your friends.

Author: Svetlana Kim
ISBN: 978-1-4196-5574-6

From the very first paragraph of Svetlana Kim’s White Pearl and I: A Memoir of a Political Refuge, readers experience quite a riveting ride with amazing drama and fascinating history as the author recounts her journey from her Russian homeland to the United States where after ten years becomes a citizen.

The 282 page memoir rarely lets up as Svetlana imparts her readers with scores of character sketches and various happenings of her ancestors that provide real insights into their spellbinding and difficult lives, particularly that of her grandmother Bya-ok (“White Pearl”) who had a profound influence on Kim’s own life and subsequent survival in the United States.

As the old cliché goes, “action speaks louder than words” and someday you may want to examine Barack Obama’s presidential years and compare what he said during and before his presidential campaign and what he actually did and accomplish while in office.

It is difficult to conceive just how Tightrope: Six Centuries of a Jewish Dynasty was written. It is just over four hundred pages in size including very extensive footnotes, yet it is huge in its accomplishment. And this is exactly what Israeli television and news reporter Michael Karpin was able to pull off when he wrote about an Ashkenazi family, the Backenroths, dating back to 1350.

Author: Jerry J. Pollock, Ph.D

ISBN: 978-0-9817212-0-0

I have to confess that notwithstanding that it takes some time to absorb all of the book’s material with its raw power and harsh originality, patient readers will find, as I have, that in the end it is all very beneficial and meaningful. In fact, by the time you’re done reading this intelligent narrative, you may even believe the Messiah interviews actually happened!
