"Wise, warm, witty whimsy no animal lover would
wish to miss." Gerald Fried, Award Winning film composer and
writer
"I like ‘Pawprints’ because it’s funny, romantic, freaky, and sort
of weird. And because it’s about animals. Also because there’s lots
for reading...I bring the book into school, and my teacher really
likes it, too. I read the stories to kids at my table, and they ask
for more stories from 'Pawprints,' instead of other books." Karen

From a 93 year old gentleman
Of Politics, Ladies and Bagels
Poetry Provocative and Punny
By Gene Zahn
Publisher: Pawpress
ISBN 978-1-880882-17-7
Of Politics, Ladies and Bagels is a collection of (mostly) rhyming poetry springing from the provocative, insightful, romantic and playful mind of its 92 year old gentleman author, Gene Zahn. His book includes social and political poems - some serious, others couched as potatoes, or bagels – almost all penned in rhyming verse. Themes range from experiences of a young man growing up to thoughts on how to achieve a better democracy. And there are odes to ladies galore, topped by moving, endearing elegies to Judy, the love of Gene’s life. Available at Amazon.com, Borders.com, BN.com or ask at your favorite bookstore

Reviewers Toast Zahn's "Bagel"“Gene Zahn delivers an abundant treasure of whimsical observations. Edgy, insightful, entertaining. “
Joe Siegman, Author, “Jews and Sports”
“Zahn’s poetry embraces and honors all the pivotal moments of life – from a child’s eye, to a soldier’s angst, to a young man’s dreams and thoughts. His words will jump into your heart, instilling wit, laughter, gratitude and nostalgia for what was and could be. Thank you, Gene. You have inspired me to notice the particulars, enjoy the humor in subtleties, and appreciate the evolution of life.”
Lisa Boren, “Happily married mom.” Honors: Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum LaudeMore

"Riveting!"
"Wine, Women, Whispers is about a quirky and
very interesting man of the world...I loved the homage to his mother,
which is very tender. The book makes me want to know more about the author --
whether he is called Alon Mintz (his given name), Rocky Mintziano, Adam
Savage, Adam Stephens, or Ali Mintz. His crazy and not so crazy
escapades are fun to read, and make me kind of envious that I haven't
done half the things he has in his lifetime." Susan Pinkus, Former
Director, Los Angeles Times Polls

"These words are alive! They're so honest, they're really
refreshing! Completely charming....reminds me of so many
stories in my own life." G.S. Board Member Library, Music
programs,
Los Angeles
"There's something in here for everyone -- the people are from so
many different backgrounds, and their stories are all so
entertaining!" M. Norello, Architect/Designer, L.A.
"The section I most enjoyed was a few punning stories about cats by
the late Earl Boretz, which were
most amusing. His characters include Count Fe-Line the cat burglar
in 'Pussy Footin’ Around'; Sinister, the three-legged pirate cat and
Sorrowful, the witch...Overall, an entertaining collection." Cecilia
Blight, Nelm News,
newsletter of The National English Literary Museum,
Grahamstown, S. Africa
"This book is so good...the Pawprints writing group creates a sense
of community, which people lack these days. People get to tell
their stories -- that's the beset thing. And the book is
beautiful. With the book, the website where I read some of the
stories first, altogether, what a great service!"
Diane Slade, artist and therapist, Napa, CA

Meandering Mindfulness...
Poetry from the place where wander and wonder merge
Chrystine Julian
Edited by Ina Hillebrandt
Publisher: Pawpress
ISBN 978-1-0880882-13-9
Once again Chrystine Julian paints a colorful world of the sensual, spiritual, political and this time, the "silly,"
in a book that appeals both to seasoned poets and those who usually read prose.
"Chrystine Julian's
poems carve out a space for themselves...one surprising slice at a time. Even
the short pieces are mighty in meaning and insight. From the very few lines that
embody a world view of trees to the vulnerability of passion and love, Chrystine
manages to touch the heart, and intrigue the mind. I highly recommend her lovely
book of poetry, Meandering Mindfulness."
Ruth Light, Women's National Book Association
"I recently picked up a copy
of 'Meandering Mindfulness' by Southern California Poet, Drummer and
Workshop Leader, Chrystine Julian. And though I’ve only had it a short
time, it already has the look of a worn out favorite."

Sensual Spirit...poetry and
thoughts from the place where body and soul meet
By Chrystine Julian
Edited by Ina Hillebrandt
Publisher: Pawpress
ISBN 978-1-0880882-11-5In
Sensual
Spirit Chrystine Julian demonstrates why she has been proclaimed “an
amazing modern day poet seer.” This collection emerges from her shamanic and
mystic experiences of blurring the line between body and soul. She sews
images of passion, love, longing and
social consciousness into a complex quilt of words. As literature,
Sensual Spirit is well crafted modern verse that is delightful to read
aloud. As mysticism it follows the tradition of ancient wisdom keepers,
using the carnal to explore the spiritual and the ethereal to understand the
down to earth world.
See
the back cover, with more information about Chrystine, reviews a short
excerpt from the book. Chrystine can be reached through her website
www.ChrystineDrums.com.
Note: You can hear Chrystine perform her work in
various venues around Southern California and other parts of the
country. Check her website for appearance schedule You'll really be glad
you did!
"What a rapturous book!
Chrystine Julian weds wit and wisdom, body and spirit, in these poem. Her
warmth and humor and deep insight radiate off every page." Gayle Brandeis,
author of "Fruitflesh, Seeds of inspiration for women that write," "Self
Storage" and the Bellwether Prize winner, "The Book of Dead Birds"

By Charles Alan Tichenor
Edited by Ina Hillebrandt
Publisher: Pawpress
ISBN 1-0880882-09-4
Memoirs of an eyewitness to the oil boom and culture clashes of the Middle
East.
Glimpses into history in the
making. Dr. Tichenor, a.k.a. "The Cat," or "Unk," begins with life as he
lived it in 1920's America, moving ever eastward to the Middle East
mid-century, where he was sent as a minister to work with the Aramco flock.
Today called Saudi Aramco, the oil giant is the largest in the world...and
it all began with secret treaties, a Saudi American partnership, a
benevolent king, somewhat reluctant Bedouins, camels, and black gold....
Contains photos, glossary and index. Reviews
"Once I started, I didn't want to stop. A great book for people who are interested in current affairs, historians, anyone interested in history."
