“...I didn’t believe in love at first sight, but the inexplicable seemed to have happened. I had been struck by a thunderbolt. I knew at that moment that our love was ordained. Joseph and I were destined to meet that day, destined to be together, and destined to remain together for a lifetime.” In Greetings from the Other Side, author Benita Glickman describes her special bond with Joseph Larizza, the harmony they experienced, and the unconditional acceptance and support they provided one another. “It was an all-encompassing love that nourished my being, my heart and my soul.” Ms. Glickman delicately relates her story about caregiving, and suffering through hardships inherent in the process. She details the grief and pain she experienced after her beloved Joseph’s passing, and her attempts to make sense of it all, and to cope. Ms. Glickman’s debut memoir ultimately chronicles her spiritual awakening, thus providing hope to those who have lost a love one. It affirms the possibility of life after death through visions, telepathic communications, dreams, and signs of remembrance. Sprinkled with original poetry and drizzled with occasional word play, Greetings from the Other Side will make you smile, cry, open your heart, look at things differently, heal, and grow.

Winner of the Faulkner Society Award for Best Novel In a small seaside city on the Jersey Shore, three half-siblings confront the death of a distant and bullying patriarch. They now have the chance to imagine new relationships and new futures, ones that would have been near-unthinkable while their father was alive. Caught in their crossfire are the conservative religious communities that border Asbury Park, the longtime locals who have been pushed to the fringe by the shore’s revitalization, and the legendary town upon which the whole world seems to converge. Slowly, however, they come to understand that everything—their future, their happiness—depends on whether they can face themselves. Wise, perceptive, and provocative, Greetings from Asbury Park is a remarkable literary debut in the tradition of great American novels such as Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio. It is a deep interrogation of place that depicts flawed characters as they break through to adulthood, truth, and to a moral relationship with the world.

"Equal parts Romanticist, Beat, Transcendentalist, and Zen Master, Reed is a refreshingly unique new voice in travel and social commentary, and THE OTHER SIDE is an important journey for all who are seeking to discover what it means to truly thrive as individuals and societies in today's complex world." -Lauryn Axelrod, Founder of GoNomad.com, alternative travel website Deeply discontented and disturbed by the state of the Union at the beginning of the second G.W.

Armed with a backpack full of hiking gear, a sharp eye, a bold pen, and an iPod that plays an inspiring soundtrack, Reed explores the wild landscapes, diverse people and fascinating cultures of southern Chile and Argentina while embarking on an unflinchingly honest journey to examine his own beliefs, yearnings, and experience. His wide-ranging odyssey takes him on buses, boats and trails through cities and towns, remote villages and pristine forests, to mountain camps and surfers' beaches, where love affairs and politics, philosophy and ecology, religion and lost cameras all merge into a life-changing, mind-altering adventure. From the summits of high Andean peaks to the depths of his most personal thoughts and spiritual ideals, Reed seeks to discover what it means to be at home in the world, and in your own skin.

Inside the old dark tower, the gray-hooded men kept up the ancient chant. Hour after hour they have been repeating the same five words: Stone, draw the stranger in. The stress of maintaining the required intensive concentration filled them with mind-numbing pain. But they could feel something, someone, a lone male, walking straight toward the ancient circle of stone. Feeling the presence, they raised the volume and speed of the chant. Any moment now and the prey would be inside the tall stone-ringed pit. They looked down in anticipation; this was their reward. They were gray men of great power; dark men in dark robes, the brotherhood of the Gray wizards.
