The Decades, a new book by Sylvie, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Author Sylvie met her first love, Gora, when she was 13 years old and living in Bangladesh. Though their time together was brief, their innocent relationship left a lasting impression. Thirty-seven years after they had first met, after marrying, becoming parents and immigrating to the United States, Sylvie still holds fond memories of the silky-haired boy who became her first love and is excited to reconnect with him and meet his family.

Lessons of Freedom, a new book by Holland O. Parran Jr., has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Lessons of Freedom tells the story of the young slave, Totter. As the son of his mistress’s former slave and best friend, Totter and Miss Anna share a special bond. Miss Anna loves and cares for him like her own-which includes teaching him how to read. However, teaching a slave to read is illegal and could get Miss Anna in trouble with the law if Totter is found out, not to mention what fate would fall on Totter should he be discovered. To ensure his safety, Miss Anna smuggles Totter off with a Mormon family to be free.

While Totter travels with the Butlers and another young slave girl, they are ambushed by the Apaches. The Apaches kill Mr. and Mrs. Butler, but when Totter defends himself and the young slave girl with a pistol, he impresses the Chief and they are taken in as Apaches themselves. Now called Black Wolf, Totter lives with and learns the ways of the Apaches. Soon, the news of the Black Apache spreads around and settles on the wrong ears. Someone from Totter’s past knows he can read, and he’ll do anything to prove it and see Totter captured and thrown back into slavery.

About the Author
Holland O. Parran Jr. has written this book for his mother in hopes that it will bring their family back together. Parran scoured old newspapers and has spoken with librarians across the South to find out more about his grandfather’s, his mother’s father, departure from the city in which he lived. Passed down from family member to family member, and then finally to Parran, he wrote Lessons of Freedom to pay homage to his grandfather’s story. The biggest lesson readers could take away from his book is that “There were good people of all colors and that includes Red. We could love each other then, we can love each other now.”

Parran currently lives and writes in Aurora, Colorado.

Lessons of Freedom is a 280-page paperback with a retail price of $19.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-3815-1. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Politics and Economics of the Insurgence in Bahrain, a new book by Vladimir E. Remmer, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Most of the contemporary work pertaining religious-sectarian conflict is focused on insurgents driven by socio-economic and political grievances. In Politics and Economics of the Insurgence in Bahrain, Vladmir E. Remmer analyzes the political economy of religious-sectarian intra-state conflict in connection to contemporary theory of Instruments of National Power. This approach provides valuable insight on legitimization, mobilization, and operationalization of the indigenous surrogate force where nation-states and non-state actors compete for influence over target audiences for the opportunity to advance ideological and economic interests.

In search for answers to nature and persistence of the conflict, Remmer reviews organizational structure and legitimacy. He dissects pertinent economic, political, and ethno-anthropological causes.

Throughout the process, the author strongly emphasizes the Shiite community as an innocent victim of predation by an agent engaged in a political-ideological act of state-capture. The conflict mitigation recommendations evolve from discussion of select instruments of national power as a case appropriate artifice targeting root-cause of the insurgence.

About the Author
Vladimir E. Remmer is The Daily Caller opinion contributor; he holds advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering and Political Science. As a government contractor and in private capacity, he harvested and analyzed open source intelligence pertaining to political violence movements, economic targeting, and energy security. He traveled through Europe and Middle East where he conducted research involving numerous interviews in the field pertaining to his professional interests.

Remmer volunteers his time to lecture on conflict mitigation, counter-terrorism, and international relations.

Politics and Economics of the Insurgence in Bahrain is a 196-page hardcover with a retail price of $44.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-4209-7. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The New Lone Ranger, a new book by Rex Marlin, has been released by RoseDog Books.

The New Lone Ranger is a handsome drifter, ever seeking new horizons, who happens upon a naïve young lady living right next door to his own apartment in a not-so-safe area of Chicago in 1983. The red-headed Cynthia does not hesitate to knock frequently on Robin’s door in their dismal St. James Hotel-even if not always well-received, caught up in her cocaine habit… perhaps hoping he’ll join her. She reluctantly learns there will be no hope for that. Nevertheless-undaunted-her plucky demeanor continues to push against a wall of resistance in hopes of one of his occasional hugs returned upon their greeting. Cynthia has discovered her first real friend in this Christian man and tries to hold on to him.

But Robin McElroy has his own problems fighting off his own faults in their Big City environment of thieves and drug dealers and insensitive policemen. He wears a cross but carries a switch-blade.
His boombox is his only connection with the real world outside… the world of music and commercials and news broadcasts from 1983. None of which had been providing inspiration for attempting another book, for which his last returns had been disappointing.

He has yearnings to begin life again-on his own-but how?

About the Author
Rex Marlin has lived his entire life in the greater Chicagoland area. He is an avid baseball fan, and has been following the White Sox for close to fifty years. In the warmer months, he walks daily and enjoys fishing.

Marlin is a buff on old shows like Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone and Lawrence Welk. He’s got a vast collection of 1950s and early ’60s pop and rock and once studied to be a disc jockey.

Marlin rejects the age of computers and likes things the way they used to be as reflected in all of his novels. He has written twenty-six novels on his old Royal Apollo typewriter, all in varying degrees of religious content.

The New Lone Ranger is a 134-page paperback with a retail price of $13.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-7363-8. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Governance by Demigods, a new book by Harry L. Bowles, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Governance by Demigods is a shocking revelation of the real government in America: the shadowy government that is hidden from public view, a group of rulers totally unaccountable to the public. This real government of overlords is unelected and holds office for life. Our founders, naïve and with high moral values, created a monster that cannot be controlled. These shadow rulers, bonded in fealty, work in obscurity without accountability, without oversight, without fear of reprisal. The resulting quagmire of corruption has twisted, subverted, and reduced our Constitution to nothing more than a quaint archaic document used to brainwash children, teachers, and the general public with the notion that the continual erosion of our sacred birthrights is for the greater good.

Like the Wizard of Oz hiding behind the curtain, these overlords hide in broad daylight, in black robes and expensive suits-the lawyers and judges of the corrupt and entrenched American judicial system.

About the Author
Harry L. Bowles, a non-lawyer, has practiced law since 1964, over fifty years, in all jurisdictions including the U.S. Supreme Court. He also gained further notoriety by becoming the first person from the State of Texas to try a case in the United States Court of Claims, winning a summary judgment against the federal government, in the process being honored by the U.S. Congress in their passage of The Property Owner’s Bill of Rights.

In 1990, inspired by a lifetime of abuse by the judiciary, Bowles formed “Advocates for HONEST, ETHICAL, LEGAL PRACTICE-Texas” (HELP-Texas) for the specific purpose of reforming what he terms “the most corrupt legal system in the history of the world,” a system that is corrupt by actual design.

Governance by Demigods is a 92-page paperback with a retail price of $12.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-4710-8. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Preserve the Second Amendment, Control Civilian Firearms, and Enact Universal Healthcare (UH), a new book by Mike R. Horwitz, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In this commonsense tract, Mike R. Horwitz takes on two of the most divisive issues in America – gun control and healthcare – and makes a sensible, nonpartisan case for each. Arguing that basic control measures will actually save the Second Amendment, he notes, “We must accept firearm regulations just as we have accepted motor vehicle regulations.”

On the topic of healthcare, Horwitz points to overwhelming data that show Americans overpay for insurance that still leaves the most vulnerable of us sick or bankrupt. Citing credible sources – and no less a super-patriot than former Secretary of State Colin Powell – the author urges the new President and all of America to join the rest of the civilized world and enact Universal Healthcare.

About the Author
Mike R. Horwitz lives in Woodland Hills, California, with his wife, Jan, of thirty-eight years. He enjoys being with family and friends when not working as an attorney.

Preserve the Second Amendment, Control Civilian Firearms, and Enact Universal Healthcare (UH) is a 30-page paperback with a retail price of $9.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-4625-5. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
