A Kindness Remembered: A Fable

$14.95 – $19.95

ByBeth Lazzazero Mack

In this modern fable, a blackbird yearns for more beautiful feathers, but ends up with a broken wing while flying toward the sun in search of beauty. While many pass by the injured bird, a young boy takes him into his home and heals him until the bird is able to fly back to his family. The selfless actions of the boy teach the blackbird—and young readers—important lessons about the power of a single act of kindness.

Confessions 1

Confessions of a Gentleman Killer

$13.99 – $16.95

London, 1843

The papers call me “The Gentleman Killer.” I wrapped the throat of my first victim in a silk scarf. That’s what passes as a gentleman these days.

How do you reconcile a man capable of deep, tender love, a health reformer, assistant to the future British Prime Minister, and the son-in-law of a wealthy industrialist, but who kills in a blood rage? I’m told I have a philosopher’s mind, that I’m ambitious. Yet always there’s a downfall.

I leave judgement to you. My name is Kilcairn, and these are my confessions.

You can buy the Confessions of a Gentleman Killer audio book here and at Libro.FM.
