For centuries, the Camino de Santiago has offered pilgrims a
spiritual journey, an adventure and a sought after freedom from the
penance due for sins. This is how Anderson, a young man involved
with the death of a little girl, finds himself on a journey across
France and Spain, in search of punishment, forgiveness or just some
way to make sense of it all.
Author Vincent Yanez never planned on working more than a couple of
jobs in his life. Unfortunately, he was born with a short attention
span and an inability to stay anywhere that annoyed him. The result
is iQuit: The Book of Job(s), a snarky look at one man's refusal to
put up with anything he found aggravating, disgusting or downright
horrifying.
When author Vincent Yanez published his travel memoir, It Doesn't
Matter Which Road You Take, readers wondered where the photographs
were of the places he had visited. In commemoration of the upcoming
20th Anniversary of that adventure, this photographic collection
not only contains images from that backpacking trip through Europe,
but later journeys within Europe and America.
Along with his books, author Vincent Yanez also wasted time writing
the occasional political piece for his local newspaper and various
websites. By the end of 2012 he found he no longer enjoyed talking
about a political system that seemed to be falling apart, mainly
due to a group of politicians who gained power by using hate, fear
and ignorance as their rally cry. Vince decided that instead of
writing about politics, he would instead, make fun of it. This is a
collection of those political satire pieces, which made their way
around the internet in 2013, along with some cartoons he drew when
the words wouldn't come. Vince no longer involves himself much in
politics. But he does hope the American people will someday find
the courage to with fear or ignorance, and give D.C. what it has
needed for a while now, a good cleaning out.
One year after losing his girlfriend in the attack on the World
Trade Center, as Jack is slowly trying to piece his life back
together, a postcard arrives. A postcard from a far off land,
written in her handwriting, telling him she is waiting for him.
Here the journey begins, as one man travels to Tibet, the Land of
the Snow Lion, not entirely sure if he's chasing a woman, a ghost
or his own sanity.
Einstein's Shutter is a whirlwind journey into a decade of one
man's life, in New York City, during what turns out to be one of
the most horrific times in U.S. History. It's also a story about
redemption, reincarnation and ultimately it is a story of the power
of the human spirit in a man, and a city, finding the strength they
need to rise again after the attack on 9/11. Einstein's Shutter is
also a comedy, a romance novel and ultimately a memoir of one life,
amongst millions, in the greatest city in the world. This version
of Einstein's Shutter was revised in May of 2014.
