Mystery

"This was unheard of . . . a free vacation in Florida.  With Henry's blessing and her usual penchant for adventure, Florence set off in a 1936 black Buick with her friend, Helen, and four children.  Roads were narrow, accommodations were scarce and there were long dist ances between gas stations. Florence encouraged word games and watched for each new "Burma Shave" sign to entertain the children. When a tire blew out, twelve year old Bobby skillfully met the challenge. When her companion, Helen, became anxious, Florence, the only driver, was pleasant and remained calm."  Using diary excerpts, family photos, old letters and memos, original birth, death and wedding certificates and information gathered from her children and other family members, ALWAYS is an intimate collection of stories about the life of Florence Rose.

Always...

"This book is the latest book by author Irwyn Greif and is the culmination of a lifetime of psychic experiences and revelations and communications with Angels and UFOs. In order to achieve this book the author's consciousness had to be "raised" to an angelic level. Although there are many books written on these subjects, the author dares to reveal the true definition of the Creator and explains why the Creator has the need to create. This book contradicts and challenges the existing religions and scientific beliefs and explains in simple language the existence and mysteries of other dimensional worlds and the role that UFOs play in the evolution and preservation of the human race. Some of the material in this book is based upon "contactee" reports and observations. For instance, one of these "contactees" confronted a large lizard like being, [Saurian], who was apparently in charge of this laboratory UFO. She said to him, "you have no right to perform intrusive operations on my body". The Saurian being replied, "we have the right because we created you". This book attempts to reveal and explain the "big picture" of existence. This book is the most controversial, challenging and mind expanding writing of our times."

Thrillers & Suspense

In AUTUMN LEAVES Peter Haase presents a collection of more than thirty short stories, essays and poems. There are the heartwarming memories of his beloved hometown, Rostock, before it was destroyed during World War II and after rebuilding it to an important German seaport on the Baltic Sea. He tells some of the hilarious events that took place in Ecuador, his home for five years, before moving to New York. A sailor since early childhood, Peter spins a surreal tale of misfortune at sea in Sailor's Nightmare. He not only dreams up disaster stories of his boat life, but also shows his wild imagination and humor in Sea Raisins. While the episodes In the Sauna are the witty conversation of two friends, The Agent is written in the somber style of Franz Kafka. Confession of an Atheist as well as The Myth of Reincarnation, and others, declare the author's views on religion and spirituality. AUTUMN LEAVES shows Peter Haase's versatility in style and subject matters, from the sensitive to the absurd, from outrageously funny to dead serious.
