Congratulations to Elinora Westfall and Vine Leaves Press on the release of Life in the Dressing Room of the Theatre, a collection of thought-provoking poetry. 

★★★★★ "Striking, cinematic imagery." ~Robbie Jarvis, actor

Life in the Dressing Room of the Theatre

A woman’s soul is laid bare between these pages, eviscerated, sunk deep between ink and page. Life in the Dressing Room of the Theatre is a meandering journey of a heart both scarred and lonely and fierce and wild as it seeks itself in each new incarnation. It is stitched and pieced together with the blades of grass and faded-yellow ribbons that string themselves through each poem, following the thread of love, through grief and trauma, suicide and rose-tinted memories while traversing the vague and uneven road to self-rediscovery.

First Bullet by Andrew Ceroni

Author Andrew Ceroni, former Special Agent, is at his very best with his seventh novel, First Bullet, a white-knuckle thriller with three intriguing story lines. 

Facing the grave dangers of a triple-threat, the CIA is on its heels. CIA Agent Dave McClure and his Special Operations teams face deadly action from a Chinese base hidden in the mist-covered Blue Mountains of Jamaica, to a German terrorist team attack on a strategic missile base in Wyoming, and finally to Berlin, Garmisch, and the German Alps where intelligence sources warn the CIA of a plot by cabinet members in Germany to arrest the Chancellor, overthrow the government, and invade Poland and the Czech Republic. The CIA must act fast and forcibly to avoid the outbreak of World War III.
