Julia Booksellers 768 Boston Post Road Madison, CT 06443 'A Journey to the Gallows' Aaron Dwight Stevens ran away from his Norwich, Connecticut home two times. The first was when he was just a young man not yet 16 years old, but large and mature enough to go to Boston on his own. He convinced the 1st Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers that he was old enough to fight in the war against Mexico. Dwight served with honor through the war narrowly avoiding capture and certain death. He returned home and mended the strained relations with his family, but after several years, he felt that he had to leave again. 'One of Windsor: The Untold Story of America's First Witch Hanging' Alice, a young woman prone to intuitive insights and loyalty to the only family she has ever known, leaves England for the rigid colony of the Massachusetts Bay in 1635 in hopes of reuniting with them again. Finally settling in Windsor, Connecticut, she encounters the rich American wilderness and its inhabitants, her own healing abilities, and the blinding fears of Puritan leaders which collide and set the stage for America's first witch hanging, her own, on May 26, 1647. This event and Alice's ties to her beloved family are catalysts that influence Connecticut's Governor John Winthrop Jr. to halt witchcraft hangings in much later years.

'Escape from Saigon - a Novel' follows the lives of people trapped in the besieged capital city of South Vietnam during April, 1975-the final 30 days of the Vietnam War. To be published on January 3, 2017, this historically accurate novel follows the lives of NBS-TV's first Vietnamese-American correspondent and the hard-hitting Sam Esposito of The Washington Legend whose news reports infuriated Richard Nixon, an American businessman who risks his life to smuggle out his employees; an American soldier searching for his wife's relatives, and a French expatriate barkeep hanging on the last vestiges of colonialism. This is along with US diplomats, including the disillusioned Ambassador Graham Martin, CIA operatives and double agents. The novel has won accolades from: Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump who wrote, 'Escape from Saigon brings to life the lives of the men and women trapped in the capital city,' and Casey Sherman, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Finest Hours, and Boston Strong who wrote, 'Escape from Saigon is a sweeping saga...in the grand tradition of Michener and Clavell.' Llewellyn King, host of PBS-TV's 'White House Chronicle, in his syndicated column put it this way: 'Escape from Saigon has the same ring of authenticity as Graham Greene's The Quiet American. Its portrait of a city in extremis is chilling and completely engrossing. It will take many back and some forward - forward to new foreign entanglements.'
