Whiff of Tempest: A collection of short stories from the author of Neil Must Die
From the author of Neil Must Die comes a collection of short stories, Whiff of Tempest. It's a delicious spread containing stories for all genres... Once you'll be reading about a bird, once about a lesbian relationship; then you may read about a slum drug lord's compassion, and the next moment you'll read about a child's prank. From extra-marital affairs to facing death to illicit relationships, to finer emotions between a husband and wife or long-lost lovers... the collection needs you to breathe very deeply between each story; since each story takes you to a different world and you need time to get back to reality.Sharp as a sword, her pen spares no one in this collection... not even ghost stories and gory accidents. Some of the stories are true and bear resemblance to real-life people and incidents.

Liesa Mignogna the VP, Editorial Director at Simon Pulse and editor of this anthology can expound on the virtues of Batman (her wedding was even Batman-themed) but it's her retelling of incredibly harrowing yet ultimately inspiring encounters with The Dark Knight over the years, as she struggled to coexist with the supervillains in her own family that birthed this collection.

The Reminiscences of Rear Adm. Neil M. Stevenson, Chaplain Corps, USN (Ret.)
In telling of his life and career, Chaplain Stevenson made it clear that he wanted to contribute more than just a collection of sea stories. As a result, he emphasized more than a dozen issues while doing the telling. One point that he made repeatedly was that members of the Chaplain Corps should emphasize institutional ministry rather than limiting themselves to parish ministry. Stevenson was born and reared in Brooklyn and got his undergraduate education at the small Tarkio College in Missouri. He later got his religious training at Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary. He began his active Navy service as a student in 1957 at Chaplain School in Newport, Rhode Island. Subsequent duties were at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, with Destroyer Squadron Ten; at Naval Station Newport, on board the attack aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CVA-60); and at Naval Air Station Glenview, Illinois. In the late 1960s he was a postgraduate student in at Princeton Theological Seminary, then was involved with the Personal Response Program in South Vietnam. In the early and mid-1970s he was in the training division on the staff of the Chief of Chaplains, a student in the Chaplain School advanced course, and senior chaplain at the Naval Training Center, Orlando, Florida. He served in 1976-77 on the staff of John O'Connor, Chief of Chaplains, and provides some superb observations on O’Connor’s style and achievements. Stevenson subsequently was Fleet Chaplain, Pacific Fleet/Chaplain, Naval Logistics Command Pacific Fleet, Deputy Chief of Chaplains, and served from 1983 to 1985 as the Navy’s Chief of Chaplains. In his post-retirement years he worked as a civilian pastor.
