***2014 Independent Publisher Gold Medal Winner, Western Region Fiction *** 2014 Midwest Book Award Finalist for Fiction/Short Story Anthology and Young Adult Fiction*** 2014 Eric Hoffer 1st Runner-Up for General Fiction *** 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Winner of Short Story-Fiction *** ------- *Lifetimes have passed since I left, yet no other place has left the same kind of imprint,* says Matthew Davis, narrator of Tom Biel's interlinked collection of short stories set in the badlands of Eastern Montana. While the Vietnam War unfurled on the edges of everyday life, even in the small badlands town of Riverside, Matthew's stories recall how he and his friends navigated the tricky, switch-backed roads of life, sometimes barely hanging on. Sometimes not at all. At the heart of Matthew's stories is his best friend, Idaho Wells, whose life is the one most etched in the violence that shapes the beauty of the badlands. Tom Biel's stories look back at a time still so much with us, but as years fade, the stories become a way to remember.

Join Angela Lanza as she experiences the tumultuous world of early 20th century Sicily and New York. Orphaned by the earthquake and powerful eruption of Mt. Etna in 1908, Angela is raised in the strict confines of an Italian convent. Through various twists of fate, she is married to a young Italian man whom she barely knows, then together with her spouse, immigrates to the U.S. This novel is an invitation to accompany the young Angela as she confronts the ephemeral nature of life on this planet and navigates the wide cultural gaps between pre-World War II Italy and the booming prosperity of dynamic young America. Author, artist, and teacher Carmela Cattuti created Between the Cracks as an homage to her great-aunt, who survived the earthquake and eruption of Mt. Etna and bravely left Sicily to start a new life in America.

A captivating novel (based on a true story).   In the early 1980s, two spectacular mosaics were stolen from Art Termini s home near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The FBI, along with local and state police, tried in vain to find the thief. This lively novel is based on this yet unsolved mystery.   Follow Art from his first kiss to a liaison in the bathroom of an elegant palazzo belonging to the Prince of Afghanistan. Learn how an intrepid reporter tracks down the elusive Sicilian entrepreneur after Art sells another spectacular mosaic at Christie s renowned auction house for $200,000 in 2012.  Mosaic is a novel made up of many colorful pieces, bits of history taken out of time and assembled with heat and humor. It s based on a true story, but the names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty. You ll see what I mean. It s the sort of tale that is usually set in New York, or at least the East Coast. This time Milwaukee, Wisconsin, provides the background for a raucous ride with stops at the Historic Third Ward, the old natatorium, a bootlegger s warehouse, Ma Termini s backyard, Sonny s on Brady Street and the Wisconsin Club.
