Superstorm Sandy: In the Eyes of the Children

ed. by Kathleen M. Woods Ignatoski, Ph.D.

Superstorm Sandy affected so many people. While the media reported reactions by politically powerful individuals and men and women who lost their homes. However, a major segment of the population did not have an opportunity to share how this powerful storm affected them.

This work is a collection of essays written by youngsters affected by Superstorm Sandy. The children tell us about this storm and its effects on their lives through their eyes.

This book may reflect experiences of children who went through Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in August and September. For adults wanting to comfort children who experienced the recent storms, Superstorm Sandy: In the Eyes of the Children may function as a kind of literary therapy.

The Importance of Cabo Verde in a Global Context 

by Marcel Gomes Balla

If you want to learn about the important role Cabo Verde played in world history, then The Importance of Cabo Verde in a Global Context by Marcel Gomes Balla is for you.

Yes, you may have learned about the influence and founding of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. However, the history of the Americas really begins with the Cape Verdeans. Although this book can be read in about an hour or so, the information may be retained for a lifetime.

The Importance of Cabo Verde in a Global Context sheds well-documented light on the founding of the Americas and is most  appropriate in the month that commemorates Columbus’ arrival in the Americas.

"GRANDDADDY" By Cavis Adams — MANA's Book of the Month

As a way to introduce MarketingNewAuthors.com to a new audience, MANA will feature a “Book of the Month” written by one of MANA’s authors.

MANA’s Book of the Month feature is not the traditional subscription-based book service in which members pay for and receive a new book each month. MANA plans to promote a book by a MANA author through its various media channels. Readers may preview and purchase a book on the book’s web page.

Our inaugural book for September 2017 is Granddaddy, a “coming of age” work by first-time author, Cavis Adams. The author masterfully interweaves the method of stream of consciousness to tell the story of the developing relationship between Granddaddy Jeremiah Hunter, who lives in rural Alabama, and his grandson, Curtis, a youngster from Minnesota.  

Other stories are interwoven implementing stream of consciousness with such skill that the reader cannot help but understand the underlying pain and challenges that Curtis’s parents experience as individuals and as a couple. The unifying element is the spiritual strength that Jeremiah Hunter offers throughout the novel. 

As a special offer, purchase a copy of Granddaddy, and receive $5 off the price of another book on MarketingNewAuthors.com's website. A $5 rebate check will be sent to you after purchase of the book, Granddaddy.

A Q&A With Martha Freudigman, Author of "Through The Storms"

Martha Freudigman

MarketingNewAuthors.com welcomes Martha Freudigman, author of ThroughThe Storms, a unique book made up of two stories. One is a fictional murder mystery with all of the twists and turns one would expect. The second story is Ms. Freudigman's autobiography! 

The first part of Through The Storms tells the intriguing story of Marguerite (Maggie) Halloran, a single, "almost" 24 year-old bookstore owner. The store hosted a monthly book club whose members enjoyed reading murder mysteries. 
Little did Maggie know what she was in for after purchasing an old Gothic house in which two gruesome murders took place.

In the second part of the book, Ms. Freudigman, shares the challenges she endured in her more than 80 years of living. Readers will enjoy both stories in this page-turning, fast-paced, book that will keep them engaged from start to finish. 

MANA: Would you please describe to readers what Through The Storms is all about? 

Martha Freudigman: It is a fictional murder mystery with lots of twists that makes it unusual.
