Expressions of Humanity by Maja Dezulovic
Expressions of Humanity is a collection of poetry and descriptive accounts about people and for people. Our lives are a result of the way we interact with each other. Our common needs, emotions and thought patterns make us human.
This is an autobiographical look at different characters, society and encounters with fellow human beings. The book speaks of what we are capable of and the problems we face without neglecting to commend our inherent beauty.

What inspired you to write your book?
This book was inspired by observing the way we interact with each other and having gratitude for the people who have come in and out of my life. The smallest deed can have a huge impact on someone’s life. We are all interconnected.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Riding the bullet to your brain:
Hollow streets and empty faces
One day, youth will fade
In favour of boredom.
The most difficult poem to write is the one blood-stained with heartache.
One day our souls will rise from this abyss
And find sanctuary in union.
It hurts to read your youth
In the past lives of Kerouac and Coetzee.
As a woman,
It’s even more frightening.
And you’re stuck with a choice
Between
Bookless, brainless Barbies
Who accept everything and laugh in pity and ignorance
And knowledge snobs
Who sip wine and flaunt their arrogance.
Give me my middle class
My middle class
So that I can know a little more
And care a little less.
Give me my wages
So I can eat a little more
Drink
And worry a little less.
Then one day
Our children will look up at us
And say:
“You did this.
You did this – filled my lungs with smog,
Blurred my vision with indifference
And silenced me with pseudo-music.”
“You did this
So that you could have a little more
Leaving me with less
And less.”
And this one we’ll call
Riding the bullet to our collective universal brain.
Riding the bullet to your brain.
The Bank of Hearts:
I’m starting a business but it won’t make no money
And the crowds will mock me: “How funny!”
A bank of hearts I shall create
And in my books, the accountant will keep record
Of every stone heart liberated.
In the vault I will venture now and then
To remember the smiles and kindness
And recollect every burdened soul that we helped set free.
So it won’t matter if I can count all the pennies in my purse
And digits on my net worth
On one hand.
Money comes and goes
Is used up and disappears;
But one heart touched
Can never be untouched
So my bank balance always grows…

A Date with Fate by Tracy Ellen
Welcome to the world of Anabel Axelrod!
Hold on to your seat for the beginning of a fun ride! This is not your traditional romance wrapped up in a nice box and tied with a HEA pretty bow. A Date with Fate is the debut novel by Tracy Ellen, and the first volume in The Adventures of Anabel Axelrod ongoing series. Experience action, sex, wit, romance, mystery, mayhem, friends, family, flashbacks, fantasies, much laughter, and an “OMG!” cliffhanger–all in one roller-coaster ride of a wild weekend!
Smart and sexy bookstore owner Anabel Axelrod is happily satisfied with the routine of her life. She enjoys her work, the occasional company of good friends and family, and casual dates with men that are willing to follow her ironclad rules on dating.
Not too tall, deliciously dark, and definitely not handsome, the mysterious Luke Drake is a new man in town. When they meet, Anabel realizes Luke is the same man that she saw briefly in her bookstore months ago. They had never actually spoken, but sparks flew and worlds collided when their eyes clashed across the room that day.
It soon becomes apparent Luke has set his sights on Anabel, but he is no follower of rules and control is his middle name. Falling crazy in lust and sharing her darkest desires with an experienced man like Luke was definitely not in Anabel’s plans. She loves being single and will allow no man to control her, but Luke has persuasive ideas of his own.
But Anabel’s intense desire for Luke Drake is not her only concern. The slutty wife of a friend has gone missing, an employee at her store is attacked by an abusive ex, and the man who broke her heart years ago returns to town. Anabel’s orderly life dissolves into chaos. In A Date with Fate, the question remains–will the sassy, blonde bookseller follow her own rules to stay single, or will she understand that life is never simple and a certain mesmerizing complication may be worth the risk, even if it kills her?
The next two books in The Adventures of Anabel Axelrod series, Courted by Karma and In Love by Design, are available for purchase at all major booksellers. Adieu to Destiny is available for preorder and will be released in November 2014.
*This series is meant for the entertainment of an adult, mature audience. Please do not buy/read my books if scenes containing strong sexual situations, moderate violence, and explicit language offend you.

SUNRISE FROM AN ICY HEART: A MEMOIR by Claudette Alexander
Four years of daily passionate loving, near the ocean, in the car, during moonlight days and sunset horizons, coupled with glasses of rum punch, came to a halt when thick lipped, Linus Hyacinth, emigrated from St. Lucia to Canada in October 1972 in search of greener pastures.
In the midst of trying to adjust to the extreme changes in climate, he searches for work as an architectural draftsman. Miserable and missing his lover, he worries about her loyalty amidst a sea of man-peckers. He writes her weekly professing his love and his desire for her to join him.
