John Feffer The issue of racism and police brutality toward Blacks in America is critical and must be addressed, and my new novel Blood on Their Hands does just that, rendering in the microcosm of personal dramatization the racial bigotry that pervades American society. But this issue is only part of a broader problem […]
Dr. David Brownstein As an author, I am a follower of another author: Dr. David Brownstein, who has an oeuvre of 11 books, seven of them national best sellers, including The Miracle of Natural Hormones, which I have but haven’t read yet.

Charles Dickens “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity. It was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness. It was the spring […]
