Linz Interlude
by Joe Buchannan
A wild ride for a generation geared to keep a 20th Century rendezvous
with destiny, changing a nation's face and the lives, loves and journeys
of most Americans. A pause in the trip occurs for one young soldier at
Linz, Hitler's handsome hometown in whose shadow lurks a ghastly concentration
camp.
While billeted there with Patton's combat infantrymen his mind drifts
back over circumstances that brought him there from midtown America, where
he played the double dating game and danced to big band music at high
school and college proms.
A matter of ethics is solved in Paris' red light district before returning
home and entering the work world as a journalist observing a wide swath
of personalities, ranging from presidents and generals to stars from the
country music, sports and film worlds.

 Luncheon
of the Boating Party2/15/08
by Susan Vreeland,
long time San Diego High School teacher and now a literary celebirty who
was awarded the San Diego Library LOLA 2008 Award.
The paperback edition will
be available in bookstores on February 26. The novel, a New York Times
Best Seller and a Book Sense pick, celebrates art, love, the "joie
de vivre" of late 19th century Paris, and the miracle of perseverance
and passion that gave us this painting. The book is her way to impart
its seductive spirit and to offer a personal Renoir, the poet of joy rendered
in color.
"One of the
great pleasures of a Vreeland book is looking at the world through an
artist's eyes. . . Susan Vreeland has once again produced a masterwork,
a resurrection of people, events and places long since gone. Like the
painters Vreeland writes about, she too is leaving her legacy – some of
the world's finest examples of historical fiction."

Now
for sale in the Bookwarren Amazon Bookstore.3/1
To truly live
well – to feel good, engage in productive activities, enjoy fulfilling
relationships with other people, and be able to adapt to change and cope
with adversity – Americans must start addressing mental health with the
same urgency as physical health. Ruth Leyse-Wallace, PhD, RD reviews scientific
research from around the world and many disciplines to demonstrate how
diet, vitamins and minerals, genetics, and health conditions can affect
an individual’s mental well-being as much as his physical well-being.
She explores how the short-term and long-term intake of vitamins, minerals,
essential fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates, medications, alcohol and
caffeine can potentially influence mental functioning.

 Marooned
With Very Little Beer
San Diego resident Graham Mackintosh's
fourth Baja book has just been published. Marooned With Very
Little Beer is a humorous and informative account of the
two months Graham spent alone on an island in the Sea of Cortez. The keg
of beer shown on the cover was parachuted down to him on a converted golf
umbrella to help him survive his ordeal. Graham Mackintosh is a man in
tune with the land that he loves. Baja California ! That rugged, cactus-covered,
800-mile-long desert peninsula in the northwest corner of Mexico . When
Baja summons… he goes. Graham Mackintosh spent two months on the uninhabited
42-mile-long island getting to know its history and geology, the people
who come and go, the creatures who call it home… and most importantly
himself.
In keeping with all his Baja
books, this is not just a simple travel tale, but a deeply moving and
probing spiritual insight into the joys of overcoming life-threatening
danger and health-shattering deprivation. Like an Aztec priest, when obliged
to kill, he does so with much heart searching and reverence. The spiritual
significance is never lost… the quest for meaning never abandoned. Whatever
your creed, however much you are elevated on the path, you will find in
this Everyman’s account a journey open to all who seek, and an eloquent
and seemingly, only seemingly, heretical plea for peace and brotherhood.

 Inventions
by Paul L. Woodring
Del Mar author Paul L. Woodring's
best-selling novel, Inventions, tells the story of Robert Watson, Jr.,
an intelligent, educated and hard-working African American. When he perceives
that he will never be more than the token black employee in predominantly
white business corporations, he sets out to establish his own company
and winds up creating an industry.
The novel overlays the African
American experience in general with the challenges faced by black Americans
in the high technology world of the 1970s. Readers will follow Watson's
journey from Cleveland , Ohio , through the venture capital halls of northern
California ’s Sand Hill Road , to the business culture and technical innovation
of Japan and the glamour of Los Angeles . Inventions is the story of one
man’s search for identity, for the place he truly belongs, and a love
that will make him whole.
“This book is loosely based
on my experience in establishing my own company,” says Woodring, who is
a consultant for the medical device industry. Prior to creating his own
firm, Woodring worked in numerous management capacities for a company
specializing in life support ventilation. Under his direction, the first
successful microprocessor-controlled life support ventilator was designed
and commercialized, going on to become the most used ventilator in the
United States . For more information on the author or Inventions, visit

 Madam
President
and the Admiral
A new book by Carl Nelson, is a powerful, unforgettable political military
thriller about a woman president who sends her lover to war against China.
An excellent read for men and women.” — Lionel Van Deerlin, Former
U.S. Congressman, professor emeritus of journalism, San Diego State University,
and columnist for the San Diego Union-Tribune. “Let me play this back,”
President Cass said as she scanned her advisors. “Russia and China are
poised to fight over a border dispute and an oil pipeline. If war breaks
out, they will need to replace that oil. They expand by taking the Spratly
Islands, then take control of the mid-East oil trade route and risk a
world war? China fights Russia and takes us and Taiwan on at the same
time? None of it makes sense.” She took a deep breath. “I have followed
China and this is out of character. For goodness’ sake, China was our
ally during WWII.” A sequel to Nelson’s earlier novel, Secret Players.
