Blood Sweat and Bullets

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the heart of New York City, a notorious drug gang known as the Wild Cowboys held the city in its iron grip, spreading fear and despair wherever they went. But a beacon of hope emerged in the form of the Homicide Investigation Unit (HIU), a group of seasoned detectives determined to bring down the gang and restore peace to the city.

Led by the brilliant and unorthodox Walter Arsenault, the HIU embarked on a relentless pursuit of justice, facing danger and adversity at every turn. The Wild Cowboys were a formidable foe, with a network of informants and a ruthless determination to protect their turf. But the HIU detectives refused to be deterred. They delved deep into the gang's operations, gathering intelligence, building cases, and forming alliances with those who dared to stand against the Wild Cowboys.

As the investigation progressed, the HIU uncovered a web of corruption that extended far beyond the gang's own ranks. Politicians, law enforcement officials, and even members of the community were implicated, all benefiting from the Wild Cowboys' illicit activities. The HIU found themselves fighting not only against the gang but also against a system that seemed determined to protect it.

Yet, amidst the darkness, the HIU's unwavering commitment to justice shone through. They refused to be silenced, even when their lives were on the line. They fought for the voiceless, for the victims who had suffered at the hands of the Wild Cowboys. And slowly but surely, they began to turn the tide.

Blood, Sweat, and Bullets is a gripping narrative that reads like a crime thriller, telling the story of the HIU's relentless pursuit of justice and the ultimate downfall of the Wild Cowboys. It is a tale of courage, determination, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference in the face of overwhelming odds.

This book is a must-read for fans of true crime, law enforcement stories, and tales of triumph over adversity. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Mama

Zuzana Plesa

“The mother-daughter relationship is the most powerful bond in the world, for better or for worse. It sets the stage for all other relationships.” —Dr. Christiane Northrup 
In her second book, Mama, Zuzana delves into the intricate tapestry of the mother-daughter bond, grappling with the resentment and anger she harbored towards her own mother. 
Instead of severing ties, Zuzana embarks on a journey of understanding, exploring her mother's past and the influences that shaped her. Zuzana traces her mother's struggles with an absent mother, a strict father, and a life marked by displacement, uncovering the roots of her mother's struggles with belonging and unrealized dreams. This newfound comprehension becomes a catalyst for Zuzana's personal growth, propelling her to defy expectations and forge her own path, distinct from the traditional trajectory her mother envisioned. 
Through Jungian Analysis, reading, and journaling, Zuzana learns to nurture the mother within herself, and is ultimately able to deliver a heartfelt eulogy at her mother's funeral—a testament to the transformative power of understanding and compassion. 
Zuzana Plesa, a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst and counselor, brings her extensive experience in navigating the complexities of mother-daughter relationships to her writing. Her work reflects a deep conviction that resolving these issues is fundamental to a woman's healthy development. When she isn't empowering women through writing or counseling active duty members and their families, Zuzana finds solace in the tranquility of gardening, reading, and swimming in beautiful Niceville, Florida.

Waldy Myelo & Me - Surviving...

Carol Turner

Prepare to meet Waldy, Dr. Turner’s pet name for Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia.Then, just as it seems like the shock is clearing, his pal, Myelo—Myelodysplastic Syndrome—enters the scene. In the process of fighting them off, we’ll also meet enough doctors and varied care providers to fill a small bus: Dr. Blood Expert, Dr. Know It All, Ms. Smooth-as-Silk Social Worker, Dr. Second Cancer, Dr. Gatekeeper, Dr. Good Ideas, Dr. Italian, Dr. Believer, and more. Some work miracles, while one caused our protagonist to storm out of their office in disgust. Much of what’s in these pages is about self-advocacy. As a doctor herself, Dr. Turner is less intimidated than most by going toe-to-toe with care providers and taking her care into her own hands, whether with doctors, nurses, or administrative personnel. Though she’s a doctor, and her words are medically accurate, her writing is squarely intended for regular people—as are the lessons it conveys.

Three Sisters - A True Holocaust...

Celia Clement, Eva Heymann,...

Three young Jewish sisters from Leipzig, Germany huddle together in the cold darkness of night waiting for their smugglers to rescue them and bring them to freedom in Belgium. Their mother, in a state of shock following Kristallnacht, is left behind, sedated in a psychiatric hospital. November 1938 begins the four year ordeal of the seven member Kroch family who endure unfathomable conditions in their fight for survival: imprisonment in French internment camps, hiding in a tiny tool shed, and adapting to the deplorable conditions of a Nazi prison. The memoirs of Alexandra, age eleven, and her sisters, fifteen year old Eva and fourteen year old Judith, interweave as they recount the true story of their escape from the Nazis. 
 
 
 
Leaving behind their life of luxury, the girls describe unimaginable hunger, deprivation, and fear. Family love, music, and the close friendship of strangers are the essential ingredients that sustain them through the hardships they face. A narrative backdrop threads through the story, providing the socio-political context. From a historical perspective and from the three sisters' witness accounts, the listener will come to understand the progression of antisemitism in Germany and France, the course by which Hitler dismantled democracy, the role France adopted as Nazi collaborators, and how the Swiss policies towards Jews were executed.
