The Broomwhistle Chronicles: Witch Hunt of the Dwills by Eric D. Smith: “Welcome to the Dwillands. A place where a curious little people have become quite powerful. They are doing business and even war in far off lands. This is not to the liking of conservative Dwill Pindby B. Broomwhistle. He prefers to administer the Broomwhistle Detective Academy for Near and Distant Relations from the quiet of his small town.” (September 2010)

Hiroshima in the Morning by Rahna Reiko Rizzuto: “In June 2001, Rahna Reiko Rizzuto went to Hiroshima in search of a deeper understanding of her war-torn heritage. She planned to spend six months there, interviewing the few remaining survivors of the atomic bomb. It is her first solo life adventure, immediately exhilarating for her, but her research starts off badly. Interviews with the hibakusha feel rehearsed, and the survivors reveal little beyond published accounts. Then the attacks on September 11 change everything.” (September 2010)

Embodying Osiris: The Secrets of Alchemical Transformation by Thom F. Cavalli: “Embodying Osiris is a Jungian explanation of the great myth of Osiris, ancient Egypt’s venerated Lord of the Underworld and devoted husband of Isis, the mother goddess of wisdom and magic. This book examines the contemporary re-surfacing of Osiris as a psycho-spiritual model for the individual psyche. For Dr. Thom Cavalli, the gods did not in fact disappear but instead have been gradually re-emerging as psychological archetypes.” (November 2010)
