We never knew our grandparents on our mother's side. Simon (a.k.a. Jack) and Rebecca (a.k.a. Lessie, Nora) both passed away while our mother was still a young girl. However, after our mother's passing, we discovered that she had been holding on to scores of love letters her father had written her mother during a long courtship. Clearly, letters are missing, and she only had a couple of letters Lessie had written to Simon, but these letters have allowed us, if only on a small scale, to learn something of their character. It is a fascinating peek into the challenges, hardships, family dynamics, and faith of one South Georgia couple living in poverty. Simon and Rebecca's grandkids

Simon's Sanctuary is a classic in its portrayal of immigrant life in America. Simon Matin, his wife Clara, and their children Lorna and Sonny are political refugees from the Philippines. They settle down in Los Angeles at a time when the city is gripped with fear and anxiety over the King trial. In this highly charged case, four white police officers are accused of beating up a black motorist named Rodney King. Like most immigrants, though, the Matins are more concerned with starting a new life in America. They dream of a home of their own, jobs to suit their skills and aptitudes, and college education for the children. They seek political asylum with the help of Saul Levy, a Jewish immigration lawyer married to Agnes, who is also a Filipino. Their lawyer-client relationship grows into a friendship. Much of the immigrant life is seen through the eyes of Simon and Saul. Their views often differed. Where Simon's is often jaundiced by his struggle against racial prejudice, Saul's is sympathetic, his sympathy arising from his own immigrant background and marriage to Agnes. The racial tension in the King trial erupts into violence, bringing tragedy, whose blows in the end are softened by Christian faith and friendship.
This book is designed for two audiences: those who are interested in thehistoryt of Judges Whalley and Goffe in New England (including the story of the "Angel of Hadley"), as well as how their pursuit fits in with our Revolution more than a century afterward, and those who (like the author) have Simon Lobdell as their immigrant ancestor.
The discovery of the mutilated corpse of a legal secretary in the garden of her employer's house presents an intriguing problem for the west Yorkshire police force.The absence of any motive or credible suspects make it seem that they are heading for a dead end.Unknown to the police, this murder was an act of revenge, carried out by an unsuspecting man, manipulated by a malevolent controller who has infiltrated his mind.For the controller, this act was retribution, but he soon escalates it to another level, regarding it as a game.

He cares little about who suffers in this bizarre game.The outcome is uncertain and the reader is challenged to identify the real perpetrator.The first part of a trilogy, this book merely whets the appetite.For more information, contact -www.winemanauthor.com
Amidst war and destruction in Aleppo, Levon Sharoyan wrote a very personal monograph about the eminent man of letters, Simon Simonian (1914-1986). He published it in installments first on his Facebook page, later on in a more expanded version in "Kantsasar" Weekly, the official newsletter of the Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Aleppo, and also almost simultaneously, in "Aztag" Daily in Lebanon and in "Nor Haratch," a tri-weekly, in Paris. Sharoyan's monograph was his tribute to his elder compatriot. His grandfather, much like Simon Simonian's father, hailed from Sassoun, a mountainous region in Western Armenia, and was depicted among the stories Simon Simonian wrote about the struggles of the Sassountsi mountaineers on the plains of Aleppo, in Syria, far from their native mountain top villages. The monograph, which since then has been published as a book in Armenia, made for a fascinating reading. This is the first book in English about the eminent man of letters, the late Simon Simonian.
