A Story for Those Who Believe in Miracles, "The Flight of the Veil," Releases on Oct. 8
If you enjoy historic fiction, and believe in miracles, then you'll want to pick up a copy of Bruce J. Berger's novel, The Flight of the Veil, which was released on Oct. 8, 2020.
The story begins in 1990 when Holocaust survivor Nicky – a Brooklyn psychiatrist – receives a letter from Abbess Fevronia, the head of a women’s monastery in Greece. Although Nicky believes the rest of his family died at Auschwitz, he learns that Theodora, a mysteriously silent nun who’s lived at the monastery since 1944, may be his baby sister, Kal. With his old friend and new love, Helen, Nicky returns to Greece – to harrowing memories of his fighting with the partisans and to a reunion with his beloved sister. The Flight of the Veil explores the intersections of guilt and memory, faith and tragedy, fate and miracle.
Books are available through the publisher's website: BlackroseWriting.com.

Ronald E. Peterson's "Gardeners of the Universe" Featured by Next Chapter Booksellers on Sept. 27
Next Chapter Booksellers in St. Paul hosted Ronald E. Peterson for a virtual author event on Sept. 27. During the event, he discussed the inspiration for his debut sci-fi novel, Gardeners of the Universe, and did a reading.
The story begins in the not too distant future with the births of three children destined to change the world. Rianne grows up to lead biological revolutions. Dan creates sentient computers and guides the direction of human evolution. Sarah, in an age of information dissonance, becomes the most trusted individual on Earth, and convinces the world that it must change. What sets the three apart from the rest of humanity are genetics and “gifts” that were no accident.
The book shows how the children and their totally different families adapt to disruptive new technologies in transportation, medicine, communication, as well as global catastrophe. The focus is on how people will change themselves, through mechanical devices, augmented intelligence, and ultimately altering our genetics, and how these shifts will affect real people. As humanity struggles, an ancient alien species, the Torae, a.k.a. the “Gardeners,” have come to observe our “transcendence.” They are desperately trying to create new universes to populate. The three young humans are unknowingly conscripted into their schemes while guiding the Earth through the most dangerous and consequential time in its history—the 21st century. This is a story about the profound vision, adaptability, and truth we will need to survive.
Peterson is the former Vice President of Technology for Noneywell. In that role he was responsible for the entire company’s new product strategy. He began writing Gardenres of the Universe for his daughters and other youth in classes he taught, showing them the fantastic joys and dangers certain to unfold during their lifetimes.

Janet Graber's "The Sting of Love" Launches in September
Minnesota author Janet Graber's debut novel for adults officially launched on, Sept. 25 with a virtual event hosted by Magers and Quinn Booksellers of Minneapolis. 
The event took place via the store's Facebook Live page.
The Sting of Love is the story of Captain James Alexander Drummond of England, who has some unfinished business in Italy. As he is nearing the end of his life, he asks his daughter to accompany him on a visit to Trieste, Italy, where he had been stationed during the War, but is reluctant to explain why. Intrigued, Georgina agrees to accompany him.
Told in the voice of the soldier between 1945 and 1946, and the voice of Georgina in 1994, it soon becomes clear why Georgina’s father struggled to adjust to life in England after the War. Secrets are revealed. Families break. Families re-shape themselves. It appears that none of us are immune from the sting of love.
RMA Publicity placed a pre-publication story about the novel in the Aug. 14, 2020 issue of The Dakota County Tribune. Learn more about Janet Graber’s work on her website: JanetGraber.com.
