  • Space Is Not Empty by Alan Briskin and Mary V. Gelinas (Foreword Reviews)

    “Exploring unseen fields with aplomb, Space Is Not Empty is a spiritual self-help text about exorcising negative energies, unseen barriers, and temporary impediments in order to lead a more present, thoughtful, and positive social life. The invisible worlds of social fields and behavioral energies are dissected in psychologist Alan Briskin’s and consultant Mary V. Gelinas’s fascinating New Age self-help text.”

  • Pathways to the Development of the Aging Phenotype by John Papaconstantinou (Foreword Reviews)

    “Pathways to the Development of the Aging Phenotype is an expert study of new technologies and theories in the field of gerontology. John Papaconstantinou’s monograph on modern science’s understanding of aging, presents a totalizing view of how and why aging manifests in the human body and the possible interventions that can prevent it.”

  • An Accidental Philanthropist by Winsome Dunn McIntosh (Foreword Reviews)

    “Filled with resonant disclosures and a few surprises, An Accidental Philanthropist is a moving memoir by a woman who effected great change. Written with an eye toward women’s issues, Winsome Dunn McIntosh’s memoir is about her decades-long career in philanthropy. An inspiring, relevant memoir about finding one’s way in philanthropic leadership.”

  • Warriors of the Red Wolf by Nicholas Varner (The Indie Critic)

    “A myth-infused work of young adult fantasy that draws deeply from oral storytelling traditions, moral allegory, and communal memory. Stylistically, the prose leans toward a measured, ceremonial tone, echoing Indigenous and mythic storytelling rhythms. Action scenes are visceral and often brutal, but Varner resists glorification.”
