Terrific review from the judges at Next Generation Indie Book Awards, where Alvars’ Spear won gold– A rock-solid chunk of classic science fiction.
The book is clearly inspired by the titans of 1960’s and 1970’s speculative authorship, yet it is completely unique and by no means derivative. Alvar’s Spear is “old school”, but with all of the positive and none of the negative connotations that term provokes, it manages to feel lived in without even being slightly dated. In fact, the book’s overarching message of unity as it conflicts with prejudice feels particularly relevant to today. Alvar’s Spear travels a familiar and well-worn path, but it does so on fresh, young legs. Get your copy here.
Barbra Streisand: On the Couch, by psychoanalyst Dr. Alma H. Bond, is a comprehensive, well-researched biography, in which the author’s psychoanalytic angle offers fresh insight into Barbra’s heart and soul. Barbra fluctuates between self-inflation and insecurity. She cracks wise, becomes angry, weeps. Dr. Dale presents Barbra in her rawest, most human aspects, with insights no one but a psychoanalyst could possibly have. If you want to know the real Barbra Streisand, you won’t want to miss reading this book. The book has received only rave reviews, and can be purchased on Amazon.com, BN.com, Bancroft Press.com, and all bookstores.
