J J Amaworo Wison Author- DAMNIFICADOS Novel Awarded 2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award

News from PM Press JJ Amaworo Wilson has been awarded the 2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award in the fiction category for his novel Damnificados. The awards list is comprised of published authors from the two neighboring states recognized in several categories ranging from Anthropology to Young Readers. To celebrate, both the novel and the eBook are now available for half-price! $15.95   |  288 Pages ISBN: 9781629631172 Damnificados A Novel    ______________ JJ Amaworo Wilson ______________ Use coupon code FEBRUARY VALID THROUGH 02/28 DESCRIPTION Damnificados is loosely based on the real-life occupation of a half-completed skyscraper in Caracas, Venezuela, the Tower of David. In this fictional version, six hundred “damnificados”—-vagabonds and misfits—-take over an abandoned urban tower and set up a community complete with schools, stores, beauty salons, bakeries, and a rag-tag defensive militia. Their always heroic (and often hilarious) struggle for survival and dignity pits them against corrupt police, the brutal military, and the tyrannical “owners.” Taking place in an unnamed country at an unspecified time, the novel has elements of magical realism: avenging wolves, biblical floods, massacres involving multilingual ghosts, arrow showers falling to the tune of Beethoven’s Ninth, and a trash truck acting as a Trojan horse. The ghosts and miracles woven into the narrative are part of a richly imagined world in which the laws of nature are constantly stretched and the past is always present. PRAISE “A community of indigents attempting to settle in an unfinished skyscraper lock horns with the wealthy and powerful in this willfully strange debut novel. The crippled walk, two-headed beasts emerge from the gloom, and the earth swallows armies whole in a climax that’s an apocalyptic revenge fantasy.” —-O Magazine, “16 Books to Start 2016 Right” “Mr. Wilson, whose influences run from sci-fi to Steinbeck, tells his underdog story with lusty energy, filling it with all manner of portents and miracles, ‘like something out of the Bible,’ as one onlooker exclaims.” —-Wall Street Journal  “The author’s elegant language makes even the darkest of situations beautiful. Sure to attract readers who enjoy a touch of magic mixed in with their tales of social justice.” —-Library Journal   ABOUT THE AUTHOR JJ Amaworo Wilson is a German-born, British-educated debut novelist. Based in the U.S., he has lived in 9 countries and visited 60. He is a prize-winning author of over 20 books about language and language learning. Damnificados is his first major fiction work. His short fiction has been published by Penguin, Johns Hopkins University Press, and myriad literary magazines in England and the U.S. ORDER NOW!

Judith Kerman Poet- ALEPH, BROKEN poems from my diaspora

Secular Heart, Spiritual Soul: A Poet’s Journey Follow Judith Kerman on Facebook Aleph, broken, a collection of poems by Judith Kerman, explores the tension between American identity and the other resonances rooted in culture of origin. Powerful and beautiful, the poems seek to expand our understanding of human identity in a context that is scientific and secular but deeply imbued with a yearning for connection to the spiritual. Also under particular scrutiny in this volume is the experience of Jews who often feel tugged toward cultural memories that may range from heavily romanticized to horrifically traumatic. In these poems, Jewish life can be seen as emblematic of the difficulties presented by striving to realize the American dream; how well we fare on the journey from the homeland of the past to the new world of today and tomorrow may well determine whether we assimilate and thrive or remain isolated and adrift. Either way, there is a price to be paid, which can be tallied in pain, in dreams, in joy, in conflict, in love, in success and in failure. In Aleph, broken, Kerman assesses the toll of her own personal journey and, like a guide to the world of the wandering heart and raging soul, shares what she’s learned along the way. A pre-publication discount is available for ALEPH, BROKEN (release date, June 1, 2016). Please click here to reserve your copy. Copyright © 2016 Judith Kerman, All rights reserved.

Mark P. Sadler Author- KETTLE OF VULTURES

            KETTLE OF VULTURES

by

Mark P. Sadler

It is with great excitement that I can now announce that my novel, Kettle of Vultures, is finally published and available for the public to buy. As of today it is available on Amazon as a downloadable ebook and by week’s end the physical book will be there for you, too. I need your help to get attention for my novel and see if, as my group of supporters, you can help me become an award-winning, best-selling novelist.

 Of course that means 1) please buy the book and 2) please forward this email to at least five other people and ask them to do the same. Buy and pass on the message. Word of mouth is the only marketing I have available and I will be most appreciative of every effort you can make on my behalf.

 It is a gritty, raw, explicit Southwestern tale of border noir; a riveting story full of twists, intrigue and non-stop action, featuring Nate Duarte, a Tucson sex crimes detective. Now, for some of you gritty and raw just isn’t your cup of tea, as they say in England. It is not a cozy, and may not be the type of book that you read. Understood. Perhaps, however that young man that cleared the snow from your drive this winter, or you spouses’ cousin loves a good thriller, or if nothing else you can request your local library order it for the community (my indie publisher is not on all the big library lists that book are ordered from). Maybe you are someone who prefers not to use Amazon. I’m sure your local neighborhood bookstore will be happy to order it for you, and if you recommend it perhaps they’ll buy more.

One last thing. If you would please give a review at my Amazon site when you have finished it will help boost the ratings and keep me at the fore of the border noir genre. Thanks for any little thing you can do to help me, and please feel to ask for reciprocation.
