It is refreshing to find an author who understands the importance of what is now considered "classical style" when writing. He uses the English language the way it was meant to be written, with style, prose, and conception. His latest book Swann's Song is now available. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Delving_into_the_World_of_Crime_Fiction_Author_Charles_Salzberg.htm Sun, 21 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Delving_into_the_World_of_Crime_Fiction_Author_Charles_Salzberg.htm By Candace L.

Bowser. Synarchy, a story that stands with great merit… DCA, the author of the Synarchy series, has produced a work unlike any I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Synarchy is nearly indescribable, so much so I found myself quickly drawn into the unusual story line. A blend of mythos surrounding ancient Sumerian Gods and the Gods of other pre-popular tradition and their place in our world as the first to arrive and teach mankind along with the revolving story of the Terenzio family sets the pace for a novel nothing short of a whirlwind experience. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Synarchy_Book_1_The_Awakening.htm Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Synarchy_Book_1_The_Awakening.htm By Nigel Barto.

Out of the ashes of the Second World War, a former Nazi finance expert and his half-brother, an SS Colonel, use stolen gold and confiscated treasures to implement their vision of the ultimate business model to control the world: economic fascism. In the decades since, a secret cartel of multinational corporations have used it to successfully manipulate world events and pull the strings of governments to start and control local wars around the globe. They maximize profits without the waste and inefficiencies of a world war. Beautiful public relations executive Cassidy Jevon and ace business reporter Michael Kranz stumble upon the Machiavellian scheme. Not knowing who to trust, they must expose the global conspiracy before the next targeted initiative begins: the manipulation and takeover of Russia. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_War_Merchants_available.htm Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_War_Merchants_available.htm By Lori Quaranta.

Orlando, Fl.- “The evidence coming from the PEW Hispanic Center is overwhelming. Latinos have little chance to succeed in our society (80% are considered poor, 10% are behind in their mortgage payments, 73% are not sending money back to their families)” says Hugo Cuenca, author of practical financial books, “And to brake that pattern Latinos need a drastic solution”. The solution to drastically break the financial chains that enslave Hispanics, came with the recent launching of his new book “From poor Latino to RICH LATINO”, where he reveals 33 secrets never before known about wealth, 50 strategies to invest wisely, 15 methods for money protection, and 7 immediate action plans to prosper in harsh economic times. “But what makes this book exceptional is that it’s written in Spanish, in easy to understand language, and reveals practical information that can empower the common Latino to soar above his circumnstances, to prosper in any crisis, and to help his family”, continued this entrepreneur, Lawyer, Nuclear Engineer, ex-Olympian and local resident. “From poor Latino to RICH LATINO” (ISBN: 9780615-28477-4) is a Practical How-To Guide to protect capital and make it earn at the same time, in the bleak moments that Hispanics are living today. The book is already available in print, digital and seminar format through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Ingram Books, Baker & Taylor, and other online and independent bookstores. # # # http://www.akgmag.com/article/FROM_POOR_LATINO_TO_RICH_LATINO_.htm Sun, 02 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/FROM_POOR_LATINO_TO_RICH_LATINO_.htm
