The Haunting of Willow Tree Court
Three years ago a near fatal car crash left Sally Archer crippled and childless. Now, with her life in tatters and her freedoms taken away, she is moved to a new home by her husband, to a house on Willow Tree Court. But, Willow Tree Court is no ordinary place, and her house has a long and unusual history. As if by magic, the extraordinary begins to unravel itself in a pattern as old as time, and both the beautiful and the macabre take hold, refusing to let go. Sally soon learns that places are haunted as much by the living as they are by the dead.

(Not Quite) Out to Pasture
Just what goes through a person’s head at middle age? Does it mean that the best part of life is over? Curtis Comer has been pondering this question for quite some time now, and he has shared his musings on middle age in his regular Vital Voice column “(Not Quite) Out to Pasture.” Now, for the first time, the best of his essays have been collected into one book—(Not Quite) Out to Pasture. At middle age, life is complicated, funny, and sometimes bittersweet. It’s all about how you look at it. In these essays, Curtis ponders what it all means—everything from losing your hair to finding a job in troubled times and all that lies between. Some of his essays are serious; some are just fun. All of them will bring a knowing smile from anyone who has reached that “certain age” where life just looks a little different at the top of the hill, but not quite over it.

The Soul of a Young Man
Maneos’ ambitious project captures the varied, fleeting moods of his youthful persona–direct, lyrical, contemplative, generous, melancholy, frenzied, intensely alive… At times the musicality of the soaring line may recall Swinburne and D.H. Lawrence, but one also thinks of the Beat Poets and their offspring in rock lyric and ballad down to the present. Indeed, many of the poems have the aura of lyrics to an unwritten love song. The line as a rhythmic whole appears as the unit of meaning. Maneos succeeds in setting timeless themes of youth, freedom, and passion against the world of ancient Greece and Italy with which he feels such deep kinship. But his allusions range across the historical landscape and sparkle with precision. – John Paul Russo, editor Italian Americana Blood, not ink, drips from the quill of Pietros. Maneos’ intense poems awaken the spirit and excite the heart. He uses a Whitmanesque style to convey the passionate emotions of his youth. Maneos successfully fuses classical, Christian and contemporary imagery within his poetry; this masterful work establishes him as an adroit poetic craftsman. – Tim Minear, Writer Pietros Maneos adopts a de facto transcendental style in his premiere anthology The Soul of A Young Man. His earthy, raw poems are redolent of past poets like Pablo Neruda and Arthur Rimbaud. Maneos’ work is always fiery, fervid, and elemental forcing the reader to confront anguish, joy, love, lust, and vanity in their most primitive forms. His premiere work is loaded with entertainment and ambition. This luminous collection will shine for years to come. – Melissa C. Stanley, Writer
