Signalman Publishing is pleased to announce the release in paperback as well as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook, and the Apple iBookstore of 'The Denivan Exile,' book number 2 in the Christian fantasy epic series 'The Saga of Terminus Mundus' by Michael Mazzaro of Staten Island, New York. The series begins in book 1, 'The Legend of the Last Knight' which takes place on Terminus Mundus, a planet of unrivaled beauty, mysticism, and danger. War hero, Prince Cedric Rhone, is victorious in his final battlefield campaign and looks to settle down peacefully with his beautiful, young betrothed, Princess Cassandra Acadia. However, demonic forces and corrupt nobles work against him by formulating a coup against Cassandra's father. 'The Denivan Exile' begins with the tired, desperate, and heartbroken survivors of the Acadian coup arriving in the margrave of Deniva. Embracing her new mantle as the Queen of Central Acadia, Cassandra rallies new allies to aid her in the continuing war. Yet, darkness still covers the Acadian plains as Abaddon's specter haunts the land and no one is spared the malice wielded by the rebel King Maximilian Luminas. Despite these harsh times, a spark ignites in the far north reaches of the continent. From this ember, a wildfire of hope will consume everything that evil has touched. An old Titan proverb reaches the ears of all those willing to hear it: 'Legends Never Die!' John McClure, president of Signalman Publishing, stated, 'The Denivan Exile' continues what is turning out to be an epic series. Not only is it entertaining, but the author brings a unique style to the world of Christian fantasy. Readers will certainly enjoy this intricate series.'

Signalman Publishing is pleased to announce the release in paperback as well as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook, and the Apple iBookstore of the Christian futuristic novel 'Cathy' by Arthur Perkins of Eatonville, Washington. In this novel, Earl and Joyce Cook confront an increasingly self-serving and dictatorial government bureaucracy. Government leaders perceive a worsening financial situation as demanding the removal of unproductive members of society, including the elderly, the handicapped, and the 'People of the Book.' The fulfillment of God's task for the Cooks, as well as their attempt to preserve their friend Cathy's safety in the face of the government's attempts to snatch her away, involves them in a perilous journey from their comfortable place in middle-class society. In this journey, they find themselves in the midst of the transition from the Church Age to the restoration of Israel as the apple of God's eye, put on hold at the Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection. Israel might find itself in God's favor, but first she has to survive, because it's also the time of Jacob's Trouble as spoken of in the thirtieth chapter of the prophet Jeremiah. God assigns Earl and Joyce to a task that they both are honored and apprehensive to take on. In the midst of the increasing turmoil of a world approaching the brink of self-destruction, Christian expectations are growing of an imminent Rapture. The Cooks have included themselves in this hope, but God has other plans for them. God integrates them into a cadre of courageous servants to pave the way for the wholesale salvation of the Jewish nation. God can do this by Himself, but that's not the way He works. Earl is given a unique insight into a Scriptural truth to help accomplish the task of endowing a select group of Jews with an understanding of Jesus that leads them to recognition of Him as their Messiah. But the transmission of this information is costly to Earl as an increasingly dictatorial and self-serving society attempts to thwart God's plans. John McClure, President of Signalman Publishing, stated, 'Cathy' is a terrific book which has a new twist on Christian end-times novels by taking a deep dive into the books of Daniel and Jeremiah. It's entertaining as well as highly thought-provoking.' 'Cathy' (ISBN: 978-1-940145-19-8, Trade Paper, 258 pages, $15.99, FICTION/ Christian/Futuristic) from indie book publisher Signalman, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com and wherever fine books are sold.

Signalman Publishing is pleased to announce the release in paperback and as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook, and the Apple iBookstore of 'Without Warning: My Personal Journal of Struggling with Grief' by Jeanie Kaiser of Cumberland, Maryland. On June 20, 2005, Jeanie Kaiser heard the words from a doctor that no one wants to hear: 'Bad news, he didn't make it...' After 45 years of marriage, her husband, Bob, who had been in good health, suffered a mild heart attack. This required a heart catheterization and Bob unexpectedly died following the procedure. Amidst the intense grief, there was confusion, anger and questioning God: - Why did you allow this to happen to someone who took such good care of himself? - How am I going to survive this new life without my partner, his touch, his conversation, his companionship? - Will I ever feel normal again? - Was there something I could have done differently? At the suggestion of her sister-in-law, Jeanie writes down her feelings, experiences, and interactions in a very personal journal that is presented here. The hope is that 'Without Warning: My Personal Journal of Struggling with Grief' will be a comfort and source of encouragement to others as they work through their own period of loss and grief. John McClure, president of Signalman Publishing, stated, 'It was an honor to work with Jeanie in publishing this book which will help many others who find themselves suddenly confronted with the loss of a spouse. Jeanie writes very candidly about her struggles, fears and questions and discusses what sustained her through those difficult times.' Without Warning (ISBN: 978-1-940145-05-1, Trade Paper, 96 pages, $11.99, Religion/ Christian Life / Death, Grief, Bereavement) from indie book publisher Signalman, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com and wherever fine books are sold.
