Book Description: I first discovered John Newlin’s poetry several years ago. I knew that I had come across a brilliant and versatile writer with a true gift. Since that time, I have read anything and everything that he has written.
This magnificent poet and photographer has captured the imagination and stirred the cocktail of grace that seems to impenetrate everything that he creates.
John concocts a fine mixture of elegy and ecstasy poetry, add a dash of edge and grit; stir with imagery and wisdom and you have a John Newlin poem.
My favorite in this finely tuned book is his exquisite poem, "Beyond the Pale" In this pouring, Newlin writes about the tragedy and ecstasy of life and the disconnect between the two. He shows how people and events from the past can sometimes invade the present in a ghostly dance. Deep spirituality is woven into this rhyme.
I feel the distant melodies
and sway slowly in the gloom;
dancing a dance long forgotten
with a ghostly partner exhumed
and thus the conclusion that:
There is a gate in the distance,
at the end of the dwindling trail.
I cannot go there this raw night;
I must abide beyond the pale.
Janet K. Brennan,
Author of the Harriet Murphy short stories.

Book Description: Come in, enjoy a cup of coffee, and sit a spell with Harriet Murphy as she regales you with her tales of family, life, and love in the early 1900's in the former gold mining town of Old Pine near Lake Tahoe in Northern California. This is a period in U.S. history of great mechanical and cultural inventions as well as a time for women attempting to gain their well deserved right to vote.
Her tales revolve around a woman living alone in the hills of the Siera Nevada with her horse, Pager, and a myriad of other wonderful and colorful characters. Her humble abode is the log cabin that her father built for her family soon after he came across the country in the great gold rush of 1849. Although he never struck it rich in the mines, he found it a unique, yet ideal, place to live and care for his wife and daughter, Henrietta.
The hard cover version of this book includes 8 pages of pictures of the Sutter's Mill area of California.

Book Description: Come spend some time in Richland Louisiana Parish Detention Center, a prison in the Deep South, with Tracey Brown, as she takes you into the lonely and often frightening world of the female inmate. Life as she knew it ended the day she was arrested for identity theft and sentenced to three, ten year sentences to be served concurrently.
When the bars closed behind her, Dr. Brown was suddenly thrown into a world that consisted of a 6x8 foot cell containing a bunk and a rusted out locker. As she cried herself to sleep on that first night, abandoned by her own family and friends, she suddenly realized that she would not be going through this ordeal alone. Finding a bible tucked away in the locker, she quietly asked the prison guard to whom it belonged. "It is yours if you want it," came the terse reply and, having been stripped of all of her worldly belongings, she quickly held this only possession close to her. She had a Bible.
This book is an eye opening documentary of Tracey Brown's days and nights spent in an environment most of us could never tolerate. It is filled with beautiful scripture and exquisite poetry written by Dr. Brown. Every day in jail presents something new to write about and, incredibly, thank her Father, the Lord, for sending her way. Although she spends her days shut off from the rest of the world, she manages to find joy in the smallest of pleasures. Things that we take for granted in our everyday lives, soon become cherished gifts in the austere world of prison. Yet, Ms. Brown finds beauty in all of it.
