Bear
ISBN: 978-0-9792451-2-1 $13.95
Fiction, paperback, 244 pages, 5 x 8, July 2007
The Cocktail Cart is a
gem of a novel about the capacity of people to heal, and the ability
we have to assist one another in the healing. [Edward Bear] brings
his unique combination of gentle humor and spiritual wisdom to the
creation of a touching and eccentric group of characters in a
hospice. The main character is thrust into a dimension he never knew
existed when he is unwillingly assigned to community service work at
the Hospice of St. Michael. As he is led through his own
life-changing lessons by a mischievous angel, he helps the residents
as they conclude the work of a lifetime. I love this book…it’s about
believing.”
—Judith G. Dowling,
Psy.D., clinical psychologist
Edward Bear was the
author of several books including The Seven Deadly Fears, The
Seven Deadly Needs, and The Dark Night of Recovery.

Marty Slattery
With a new introduction by Dr. James P. Elliott
ISBN: 978-1-935052-00-5 $17.00
Fiction, paperback, 268 pages, 6 x 9, April 2008
Lovers of America's greatest game once again have the chance to spend time in the compassionate, funny, and oh-so-humane presence of author Marty Slattery with this new publication of his novel Diamonds Are Trumps. Through his character Bill Mahoney, Slattery shares his personal knowledge of the game (he pitched in the minor leagues) and his consuming passion for its players.
With bone chips in his elbow that make his arm hurt all the way up to his ear, and scars on his middle-aged soul, Mahoney is something of a wounded knight errant. But when the umpire yells “Play ball!” Bill rises to dance to baseball’s perpetual melody.
Emotionally hollow and growing more passive with each birthday, Bill is skidding through his life, aching from lost loves and unfulfilled hopes. But the Dream is not done with him yet, and gradually, Bill understands the gifts the game can give him.
In this 2008 publication of Diamonds Are Trumps—with a new introduction by Dr. James P. Elliott—author Marty Slattery gives his readers the gift of a funny, poignant, and lyrical novel about baseball as it’s played in the minor leagues and life as it’s played beyond the dugout.

 Deborah Kesten
ISBN: 978-0-9792451-3-8 $17.00
Spirituality/health, paperback, 272 pages, 6 x 9, January 2008
With the hectic pace of
everyday life—ripping open a packaged breakfast bar as we dash out
the door, coffee in hand—most of us have lost our spiritual
connection to food, say nutritionist Deborah Kesten. Food has been
reduced to “fuel”—a listing of nutritional “value.” But the human
body is not a machine, and many of the food-related issues that
plague us, from overeating and fear of fat to anorexia and other
eating disorders, can be traced to our lack of awareness of the
relationship between body and soul.
Deborah Kesten is a
nutritionist and writer specializing in prevention. A contributing
writer to Veggie Life, Ms. Kesten has been published internationally
in scientific journals, including the Journal of the American
Medical Association. You can find out more about Deborah Kesten and

Self-help, paperback, 280 pages, 5 x 8, July 2007
Since the initial
release of Refrigerator Rights in 2002, research studies in
psychology, sociology, communication and health care have steadily
confirmed the validity of the authors’ central premise—our culture’s
emphasis on mobility and perpetual connection to media are
challenging our abilities to maintain what we really need to live
well—a network of close relationships—friends who enjoy refrigerator
rights in our homes.
Dr. Will Miller is a
psychotherapist and lecturer who was the host of NBC’s “The Other
Side.” Dr. Glenn Sparks is a professor of communications and the
assistant head in the department of communication at Purdue
University. Visit their

 Edward
Bear
ISBN:978-0-9792451-7-6 $11.95
Fiction/Recovery, paperback, 108 pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, January 2008
Whether you are in
recovery or simply looking to improve your life, Edward Bear’s
latest “Tyler tape” will show you how to overcome your outwardly
centered needs and concentrate on the inner work of healing and
growth. The Seven Deadly Needs is the sequel to Edward Bear’s
previous work, The Dark Night of Recovery. Set in a
conversational format, the book is written as a series of
tape-recorded sessions between a mentor, Tyler, and his somewhat
resistant pupil, Edward Bear. Each session deals with one of what
Tyler calls the Seven Deadly Needs: the Need to Know, to Be Right,
to Get Even, to Look Good, to Judge, to Keep Score, and to Control.
Because these needs are outwardly focused, they force us to act in
ways that are not true to ourselves, and often lead to addiction,
isolation and unhappiness. This book will help guide you around some
of the larger potholes in life’s often-hectic road.
In form not unlike
Platonic dialogues, the seven chapters deal with many everyday
issues that confine rather than expand our experiences of reality.
These obstacles often keep us from an awareness of how rich our
lives can be. Through the course of the book, you will learn how to
overcome these deadly needs, how to see the possibilities open to
each of us, and how to view each day as a wonderful opportunity for
living. Although The Seven Deadly Needs is Twelve-Step oriented, the
principles and practices are universal, and the tone is both
irreverent and charming.
Edward Bear was the
author of several books including The Seven Deadly Fears, The
Cocktail Cart, and The Dark Night of Recovery.

Fiction, paperback, 221 pages, 5 x 8, June 2007
On a warm October day
only a few years past the middle of the 18th century, a
boy was born on Unst, the most northerly isle of Shetland. He was
named Michael Magnus, laird of Burrafirth. His father, Laurence
Bruce, gave the title to his son immediately. It was good, he said,
for the boy to grow up knowing who he was and what such a rank
entailed.
When Michael turned
five, his mother died, her lifeless body found among the seals who
sing on the shores of Burrafirth. Now that the boy is nine, he needs
a tutor. But the question must be asked, which one will be the
teacher and which one will be the tutor?
