We don’t usually hear that an ex-con is bound and determined to save the lives of kids at risk – but that is exactly what Larry Lawton is doing – and he’s doing it well! Author of Gangster Redemption (LL Research & Consulting), the true story of his life as one of America’s most notorious jewel robbers, Larry’s mission since his release has been to help kids turn their life around by demonstrating what to expect by making bad choices.

Larry life got off to a bad start; sexually molested by a priest at an early age, he began his path to crime by making bad choices that included his being an ‘enforcer’ for the Gambino crime family, and later spending years on the East Coast outwitting both the police and the FBI, pulling off jewelry heists to the tune of $15 million.

Few of us will ever experience the devastating horror of living within a war zone. Yet all of us know what it means to form a life-long, sustaining connection with another human being. Together, they weave a spellbinding story ultimately affirming the possibility of peace and reconciliation. In Love and Terror in the Middle East, 3rd Edition (World Audience Publishers), readers walk the war-torn streets of Israel and the West Bank with peace activist Frank Romano, and struggle with the inevitable casualties within his personal life as it becomes caught up in his work.

Romano’s efforts to promote understanding, communication and cooperation in the region among Jews, Muslims, Christians and non-believers have spanned years of bitter conflict. Passing through a virtually endless maze of checkpoints and walls, he has faced hatred on every side.

“I’ve been harassed and arrested by the Palestinian police, harassed and arrested by Israeli police and Israeli soldiers and attacked by Israeli settlers,” he says. “A peace activist friend was recently murdered in the West Bank.”

It doesn’t take much to destroy careers, pull families apart and ruin lives. As author Julian Earl Farris states: “A mix of ignorance and hatred, combined with an insatiable lust for power, will suffice. And in Florida, circa 1958, that unholy mix fermented in the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, a.k.a. the Johns Committee.”

Family bonds, created by blood and by choice, bring both acceptance and redemption in Julian Farris’s new novel, The Sin Warriors (Lethe Press), a drama that unfolds against a backdrop of bigotry and intolerance, and based on actual events that follow a McCarthy-era demagogue who uses the threat of Communism to persecute homosexuals and ruin the lives of Florida college students and employees.
