Come along with me on a journey of discovery of Austria, the land of my birth. You’ll get a glimpse of Austria's glorious history and meet some of its famous people, modern day as well as historic figures such as Mozart and Haydn. I’ll introduce you to Austria’s heritage and culture; take you on a tour of the Austrian Alps, historic Vienna, old Salzburg and the picturesque and very inviting Salzkammergut region.

We’ll even discover a place where storks roost every spring, be introduced to Austria’s unique wine heritage, and of course we’ll briefly visit the places and settings for many of Austria’s world renowned summer music fests.

As you read through the book you may even hear “The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music”, be drawn into a Danube river trip, prompted to have a cup of the famous Vienna coffee along with a slice of Sachertorte or Apfelstrudel. We’ll also take a seat and relax at a local Heurigen, where the owners serve their own wine and food. And of course, as we tour Vienna, we’ll discover some of the architecture that inspired the greats of music and art of old and continues today.

Come and join me in this exciting and brief journey through Austria.

Shalilayo (Mirrors of the World) by Justin Lee Mitchell and Marlaine Mitchell

Product Description
Our world is on the brink of destruction—from ourselves. Between corporate and government greed, peak oil, global warming and countless other inevitable disasters, we don’t stand a chance. Enter a band of aliens, ready to teach us a better way, by force if necessary. And it is necessary: our destructive ways will not only obliterate us, but all of the other worlds on the various dimensions occupying the same space as us as well, of which these aliens are a part. But they aren’t alone. With the help of Terrance, who tried a similar tactic two thousand years ago, and a couple of well-meaning, like-minded Earth humans, they may be able to bring the Earth to heel through awareness, healing and love (preferably) or a swift butt-kicking if not. The shadow government controlling Earth has no intention of releasing their strangle hold on humanity though. Alien visitors would ruin all of their careful manipulations of the science and education fields where the public is duped into believing false information on almost every aspect of how their universe operates. As the first few humans begin interacting with the aliens, it becomes obvious that the public world's last true scientific break-through was discovering the earth was round.

While many species wish to exterminate the human threat, the Zerans discovered that the humans had been tampered with by another race during their evolution, resulting in their inability to use their sixth sense to feel the world around them. In the Zeran's opinion, the humans are not completely responsible for their destructive actions and should be given help to fix their world and repair their minds.

For those who refuse to live in peace, the Zerans prepared several other dimensions where they would be relocated to. These new dimensions lacked the dense elements necessary to create nuclear technology, which is the most threatening problem since the radiation caused by nuclear devices bleeds through to other dimensions.

A Dirty Business (A Kevin Bailey Novel) by Joe Humphrey

Product Description
WHEN KEVIN BAILEY, a black, jobless twenty-something returns to New York City from a recent hermitage in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, he finds himself both broke and homeless. Armed with a degree in criminal justice, he immediately leans on an associate and former employer for a needed job referral. This leads to a position with the Frank Givens detective agency in Midtown. Bailey is hired for various reasons, three of which are the fact that he comes cheap, he's green enough to be taught, and his boss is swamped with cases. Frank Givens tosses Bailey a case that should have been fairly routine: a New York City socialite requires dirt on her son's fiancée based on her suspicions of gold digging.

After the client, Selena Eldritch, supplies Bailey with a photo of her son Edward Eldritch and his blonde fiancée, Donna Greenwood, the investigation is underway, and Bailey eventually tails Edward Eldritch to a quaint historical village hours outside of Manhattan. There, Edward meets with a brunette, and Bailey soon follows the pair into a local tavern where he then discovers that the brunette's name is in fact Donna Greenwood. Who, then, is the blonde in the photo? And why does Selena Eldritch believe her to be Donna Greenwood? Bailey sets out to uncover the truth behind this mystery, but as he begins to dig deeper, he soon learns a few intriguing facts. The blonde in the photo, Norma Vidon, has actually been missing for quite some time, and the police have even given up their investigation into her disappearance.

Baily continues to dig even further, uncovering weird obsessions, betrayals, and not a little deceit and, of course, dead bodies begin turning up. What started out as an average, relatively simple assignment soon develops into a complex case full of pretzel twists; one difficult enough for Kevin Baily to truly prove himself. But he is up to the task.
