Ten Thousand Shells and Counting

 

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting:

A Memoir

It's the year 1992. A few days after Nadija celebrates her fourteenth birthday, she watches tanks move into the Sarajevo airport across the street from her home. Yugoslavia had already fallen apart. It's the beginning of the Serbian siege of the Bosnian capital--the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare. When a sniper kills their next-door neighbor, Nadija and her family are forced to flee to a neighborhood five minutes away from her home. Shortly after, Nadija's home is captured by Serbs and some of her neighbors killed. She and her family settle in an apartment without running water, electricity or heat while being perilously exposed to thousands of shells and bullets launched from the nearby enemy. She witnesses many of her friends and neighbors die in front of her eyes. She lives her teenage life in fear and uncertainty.

How does this young girl cope during the terrifying and seemingly never-ending war? Where does she find refuge in the senseless war?

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting is the true and occasionally humorous story of a teenager who learns to survive under the brutal war-sculpted lifestyle and losses under siege.

The Giant Killer

 

The Giant Killer:

American hero, mercenary, spy … The incredible true story of the smallest man to serve in the U.S. Military—

Green Beret Captain Richard J. Flaherty

A tiny homeless man confesses his shocking life story to his only friend, a Miami police officer and only ten days later that man would be killed. The cop is now compelled to go on a quest to learn everything about his friend’s mysterious life and bizarre death. It would be the last investigation in the officers twenty year police career taking him down the rabbit hole from the bloody jungles of Vietnam to the dangerous streets of Iraq and Venezuela all in search of the enigmatic man nicknamed, “The Giant Killer.”

The incredible true story of America’s smallest war hero, 4’9” 97lbs, Green Beret Captain Richard J. Flaherty proves that life is stranger than fiction. If you’re a fan of true crime, espionage, war history and romance this non-stop page turner will keep you riveted.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Doug Stanton– "You are holding in your hands an amazing journey into a world of puzzles, intrigue, and mystery. Giant Killers are among us-- author David Yuzuk walked with one and returned with this tale.”

If Richard Flaherty was only the shortest man to ever be in the U.S. Army and a Green Beret, that would certainly be a unique story in itself. Flaherty was much more, though. He was a bonafide war hero and beloved leader of the men he commanded. A small stature with a oversized shadow. Yet, he was cut from the Army that was his life after two tours in Vietnam. This story documents as much as can be known about a man whose post army life was spent in a variety of jobs freelancing, alternating between classified missions conducted by the CIA and ATF.... What an interesting man and totally unique story. -John Werner, VINE VOICE

Hero Dogs

 

Hero Dogs - Coloring with a cause

Thank you for purchasing this coloring book. It all started as a simple coloring book about courageous canines and the work they perform.

As a colored pencil artist, I thought it would be wonderful to collaborate with other artists from different countries.

On Fiverr, I found a remarkable young artist, Olena Rii, from Ukraine. I asked her to design an outline and colored version of Patron, Ukraine's Jack Russell bomb detector dog.

Olena told me that it helped to do the artwork, and it took her mind away from the horrific war In her country.

We decided to make this a fundraiser for the many homeless dogs and cats that are hungry, cold, and frightened.

100% of the profits will go to this fantastic organization.
