Enchanta, Pot of Gold, and Space Bugs, Earth Invasion

Enchanta 150 pages Our Price: $4.95 Buy in Adobe Reader Buy in Microsoft Reader Download a Free Sample View Press Release Enchanta is the companion book to Pot of Gold. It is written for children eight to thirteen years of age. In Enchanta, David (age 14) and Barbara (age 12) Morgan are flown from their New Jersey home to Enchanta by Wings, a white flying horse. In Enchanta, Barbara and David must unite three magical brothers Changer, Pretender and Inventor with their wizard father, King Wisher. The king had lost his wishing power when an earthquake opened up the land and Beneathians, a barbaric tribe, came from inside the earth to raid Enchanta. The Beneathians captured Wisher's wife, Queen Hope and took her to their world beneath the earth. (Paperback version available from eBookStand.com)	Review ENCHANTA by Jay Dubya is the first in a delightfully imaginative fantasy trilogy for young adults age eight to twelve years of age. In this fantastic fantasy story for children, you will meet some pretty strange animals and outlandish creatures. One of which is a curious lion, a shaggy-haired barbarian, a friendly ram, and an annoying babbling brook. As an author, mother of three children, and a children's book reviewer, I highly recommend the works of Jay Dubya. --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, It's Only Ink!

Pot of Gold 160 pages Our Price: $4.95 Buy in Adobe Reader Buy in Microsoft Reader Download a Free Sample View Press Release Two children touring Limerick Caverns on St. Patrick's Day follow an elfrechaun into a strange new world. Larry and Janet Garrison must help four tiny elfrechauns, Rhymer, Prep, Stretch and Nate find their missing pot of gold. They must defeat Evilla, a wicked witch that terrorizes the magical elves. In so doing, Larry and Janet ride the Merry-go-Straight, help the Protector, and the children learn the secrets of the Rifle Tower and the Great Cornucopia. (Paperback version available from eBookStand.com)	Review "In Pot of Gold, author Jay Dubya has produced an entertaining set of circumstances, people and characters. This is a fantasy that transports the reader into a magical land where nothing is quite as might first be thought. This book should have much appeal to the nine through twelve-year-old set."

Space Bugs, Earth Invasion 180 pages Our Price: $4.95 Buy in Adobe Reader Buy in Microsoft Reader Download a Free Sample View Press Release Space Bugs, Earth Invasion is written for children eight to thirteen years of age. Space Bugs completes a trilogy of young adult fantasy novels started by Pot of Gold and Enchanta. In Space Bugs, Larry and Janet Garrision (heroes of the Pot of Gold book) and their cousins Barbara and David Morgan (heroes of Enchanta novel) unite to defeat an earth invasion led by Queen Termita from planet Insectia. (Paperback version available from eBookStand.com)	Review In this wonderful book, the four children combine to defeat the evil forces of Queen Termita, from planet Insectia, and her army. As I read, Mr. Dubya had me wondering if there really are such magical worlds out there, and are there creatures before us that humans are just too realistic and close-minded to see. I found this, and the other two books in the trilogy, to be absolutely fantastic. My son, Nicholas, age ten, loved Mr. Dubya's books, as well. So, as an author, mother of three children, and a children's book reviewer, I highly recommend the works of Jay Dubya. --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, It's Only Ink!

One of my favorite stories is Winslow Junction. This is the story of one family's nightmare. Their little boy, Casey, has a unique power and he loves trains...maybe a little too much! All of the stories in PIECES OF EIGHT are based in different parts of the world, giving the reader, not only a taste of different places, but of the different people within them. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mr. Dubya's book and I look forward to reading the second book--PIECES OF EIGHT Part II. --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, It's Only Ink!

One of my favorites is the story DUAL EVENTS that captures coincidence after coincidence. It's about a frequent traveling couple, Hamilton and Joanne Alexander who travel to Bermuda in July. Hamilton finds himself deeply disturbed by a fellow passenger, Nolan Phillips. Hamilton's sixth sense tells him there's something amiss with this fellow's character and his intentions. Was he right? Always trust your sixth sense, I say. It isn't jealous, blind, or ignorant in any way...it knows. Is reincarnation real or imagined? Throughout the story, Hamilton is told that he has a familiar face. Mr. Dubya used Alexander Hamilton's description on the U.S. ten dollar bill as the character's physical look-alike. I found myself searching in my wallet for a ten-dollar bill! --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, It's Only Ink!

Black Leather & Blue Denim -- Ron Coyote, Man of La Mangia

Black Leather and Blue Denim, A '50s Novel 436 pages Our Price: $6.95 Buy in Adobe Reader Buy in Microsoft Reader Buy in Mobipocket Download a Free Sample View Press Release Black Leather and Blue Denim is a '50s novel about greaser gang conflict in Levittown, Pennsylvania. J.W. narrates the story. The music, hot cars, the drag races, the slang, the drive-in movies, the hang outs, the malt shops, the sock hops, the popular pinball machines and intense rivalry and competition between greaser gangs is all realistically represented. BL&BD is a nostalgic look back toward an age of innocence where the so-called "Happy Days" might have been just as dangerous as teen life is today. Black Leather and Blue Denim received a 5 Star Rating at eBookPalace.com Paperback version available from eBookStand.com)	Review This lengthy novel (in a good way) of 147,000 words and with fifty-seven chapters, is adult literature that details the purity of teenage life in the 1950's. It is filled with danger, adventure, violence between gang members, and even romance. BLACK LEATHER and BLUE DENIM takes place in the suburbs of Pennsylvania and depicts territorial and dominance struggle between two specific greaser gangs, the Diablos and the Kamikazes. The Kamikazes are a group of thugs that love to pick on eggheads, other wise known as nerds, jocks, and especially other greasers. J.W., who organized the Diablos to protect him and his friends from the Kamikazes, likes a girl named Angie Palermo. She is the daughter of a Mafia drug and pornography distributor who has business relations with the Kamikazes. Because J. W. and Angie are on two different ends of the spectrum, so to speak, their affair is filled with lies, unfaithfulness, and hostility... As I read the book, I was often taken to my teenage years when the movie "The Outsiders" was an often talked about event. I loved it. Mr. Dubya has successfully put together a book addressing touchy subjects such as: racism, sex, violence, and where males in the 1950's thought they ruled. He's added tons of exciting action, the characters are realistic, and the dialogue is perfect to the character's personalities and descriptions. --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, It's Only Ink!

His main foreman is a short chunky man named Pancho Sanza. Pancho represents the practical side of human existence, and Ron Coyote the dreamer and the idealist.
