From Great grape fiascos to wars...wit and wisdom from India, Hungary, South Africa, Poland and the United States...by the Pawprints Writing Club

Sensual Spirit...poetry and thoughts from the place where body and soul meet
By Chrystine Julian
Edited by Ina Hillebrandt

Publisher:  Pawpress

ISBN 978-1-0880882-
11-5

In Sensual Spirit Chrystine Julian demonstrates why she has been proclaimed “an amazing modern day poet seer.” This collection emerges from her shamanic and mystic experiences of blurring the line between body and soul. She sews images of passion,  love, longing and social consciousness into a complex quilt of words. As literature, Sensual Spirit is well crafted modern verse that is delightful to read aloud. As mysticism it follows the tradition of ancient wisdom keepers, using the carnal to explore the spiritual and the ethereal to understand the down to earth world. 

See the back cover, with more information about Chrystine, reviews a short excerpt from the book. Chrystine can be reached through her website www.ChrystineDrums.com.

Note: You can hear Chrystine perform her work in various venues around Southern California and other parts of the country. Check her website for appearance schedule You'll really be glad you did!

"Once I started, I didn't want to stop. A great book for people who are interested in current affairs, historians, anyone interested in history." Larry N. Beard, Col. (Ret.) US Army
 

Go East, Young Man, Go  East!
By Charles Alan Tichenor
Edited by Ina Hillebrandt
Publisher:  Pawpress
ISBN 1-0880882-
09-4

Memoirs of an eyewitness to the oil boom and culture clashes of the Middle East.

Glimpses into history in the making. Dr. Tichenor, a.k.a. "The Cat, or "Unk," begins with life as he lived it in 1920's America, moving ever eastward to the Middle East mid-century, where he was sent as a minister to work with the Aramco flock.

Today called Saudi Aramco, the oil giant is the largest in the world...and it all began with secret treaties, a Saudi American partnership, a benevolent king, somewhat reluctant Bedouins, camels, and black gold....

Contains photos, glossary and index.
