  1. Zombies, Fratboys, Monster Flashmobs. Volume 2 - Snog Team Six Series

    Zombies, Fratboys, Monster Flashmobs. Volume 2 - Snog Team Six Series

    Liam Reilly is an unattached, occasionally delinquent, teenage ward of  the state. He lives in a university workshop. He rides a bike made of  bamboo. His best friend is an AI named Eiann. Oh, he’s a genius too.  Liam is content with his life, until a demon named Narvicous Scalegrim  Gorgonzola Grimmold Maximus the Terrible (Gerald for short) appears in  his workshop eating Cheez-Its and twerking to Cardi B. When a bunch of  frat boys open a gate to hell in their basement foosball lounge, it  falls on Liam, Eiann, and Gerald to stop the demon army waiting on the  other side. Liam—an avowed loner—is stuck working with a bunch of other  social outcasts: Jeanie, a T-shirt entrepreneur; her excessively “woke”  cousin Mitchell; their androgynous friend Jax a.k.a. Jax Vader a.k.a. DJ  Max Spinz; and a mysterious, wise-cracking, East African  ninja-assassin, Esmeralda—who also happens to be blind—except when she  visits other dimensions; that’s a different story. Thrown together with a  busload of Latinx children trying to escape a migrant detention  facility and an underworld demigod, Liam and his lab partners—Eww,  please don’t call them friends—basically have to save the world. If they  can manage to save each other first. Zombies, Frat Boys, Monster Flash  Mobs is what you get when you take the supernatural capers of Jonathan  Stroud’s Bartimaeus Sequence, add in the unabashed nerdiness of Hank  Green’s An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, followed by a helping of the  irreverent edginess of an Angie Thomas novel. Zombies, Frat Boys,  Monster Flash Mobs is current. It is socially relevant. Don’t call it a  sequel! It’s not. But it is a part of an interconnected world, the Snog  Team Six Series, with some returning characters, reoccurring themes, not  to mention some running jokes—if you are hip enough to get them, wink  wink, nudge nudge. Challenge accepted?

These stories were inspired when  Neill was volunteering and living at an orphanage for HIV+ children in  Nairobi Kenya.

In Fortinbras, a city built in the aftermath of a religious war that nearly  ended all life on the planet, religion is considered a disease.

    Two Years of Wonder: A Memoir

    WINNER NAUTILUS AWARD - SILVER MEDAL 2018; WINNER INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD - 2018; WINNER GOLD MEDAL - LITERARY TITAN AWARD - 2019; FINALIST NEXT GEN BOOK AWARDS - 2018 BEST MEMOIR; FINALIST SILVER FALCHION AWARD - 2019; FIVE STAR REVIEW FROM READERS' FAVORITE September 25, 2012 Ted Neill picked up a knife to cut his wrists open  and kill himself. Post hospitalization and treatment for major  depressive disorder, he wrote Two Years of Wonder, a memoir based on his  journey towards recovery. In it, he examines the experience that left  him with such despair: living and working for two years at an orphanage  for children with HIV/AIDS in Nairobi, Kenya. Neill interweaves  his story with the experiences of Oliver, Miriam, Ivy, Harmony, Tabitha, Sofie, Nea, and other children, exploring their own paths of trauma,  survival, and resilience. In prose that is by turns poetic,  confessional, and brutal, Neill with the children he comes alongside,  strive to put the pieces of their fractured lives back together as they  search for meaning and connection, each trying to reclaim their humanity  and capacity to love in the face of inexplicable suffering and loss. About  the Author: In addition to his time living in Kenya, Ted Neill has worked for CARE and World Vision International in the fields of health,  education, and child development. He has written for The Washington Post  and published multiple novels. His share of proceeds from Two Years of Wonder are donated to the children featured in its pages as well as other Kenyan based organizations that support vulnerable children and  youth.

  8. Finding St. Lo: A Memoir of War & Family

    Finding St. Lo: A Memoir of War & Family

    SILVER MEDAL WINNER - E-Lit Book Awards - 2019 SILVER MEDAL WINNER -  READERS FAVORITE 2019 WINNER - International Book Awards, American Book  Festival - 2019 FINALIST - Silver Falchion Killer Nashville Award -  2019 DISTINGUISHED FAVORITE - Independent Press Awards - 2019 5 STAR  REVIEW READERS FAVORITE - 2019  What did it mean to be a hero in 1944? What does it mean today? On the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, these are the questions we ask ourselves as the world faces resurgent nativism, deep social divisions, and rising xenophobia. It's no exaggeration to say that the gravity of our crises today echoes back to the crossroads of 1944. Finding St. Lo presents us with two distinct voices from the past. The authors are Gordon Cross and Robert Fowler: a medic and sergeant who served in the 134th US Infantry Regiment. In their mobilization, Cross and Fowler witnessed horrific destruction alongside compelling heroism. Their firsthand accounts are joined here by essays by Fowler's grandson, Ted Neill. Neill explores the scars of war left by his grandfather's post-traumatic stress and its effects across three generations of family. Through Neill's reflections, three stories weave into one. The voices of soldiers, family members, and trauma specialists come together in prose that is readable and relatable. The photography of Gordon Cross, published here for the first time, provides an unparalleled window into the scenes of devastation and loss. But Cross also captures the stirrings of recovery and the foundations of a post-war peace that benefited billions--a peace that may endure, if we can be good stewards. Finding St. Lo examines a time in US history that was a crucible for the identity of a generation and the destiny of a nation. These stories and photos demonstrate, without question, that the values of self-sacrifice, community, courage, and compassion that steered a generation in 1944 can still serve us—and save us—today. Tags: D-Day; World War II; Omaha Beach; Normandy; Post Traumatic Stress; PTSD; Greatest Generation; War Memoirs; Alcoholism; Great Depression.
