The Bulgarian poet and literary critic Valentine Dishev defines Zdravka Evtimova's fiction is mythical realism and argues that it is based on the capacity of the writer to create contemporary myths. Through gritty realism and subtlety, Evtimova gets at truths about our present day that are rooted in the past yet project startling insights into the future. Parable of Stones is a short story collection that touches your spirit and mind, a book that takes you to a country where talent is synonymous with loneliness, love is multidimensional, and each dimension is a door to another world. Uproariously funny at places and profoundly sad a few pages further on, this work of fiction is a labyrinth that teaches the heart to endure and the mind to be victorious.

Sharia Exposed deals with Sharia as a rule of law and its fabrication by Fiqh as human understanding of Sharia. Islam, being the child of Christianity and the grandchild of Judaism, comes alive in this book as the sum total of oneness. Based upon quotes from the Quran and the Hadith, Sharia unveils itself as the emblem of mercy, compassion, and benevolence when rescued from under the heap of distortions concocted by extremists. IS, ISIS, ISIL, and Boko Haram, among others, are exposed with news excerpts with the intention of saving young Muslims from the lure of hypocrites raping their way to damnation through murder, torture, and beheading. The aim of this book is to clear the cobwebs of Sharia that have corrupted the fabric of Islam, cutting through it with naked blades of hatred and intolerance. Each quote in this book is selected as a guide and a challenge, supplementary reading in the disciplines of Islamic culture, world religions, and Islamic jurisprudence.

There is listening, and there is listening truly. Phibby Venable's is the second kind, and her poems a true telling of what she has heard Listen to these poems. Believe the earth is singing, intent as any bird would be before a shake and flight to trees. George Wallace, writer in residence, Walt Whitman Birthplace. I would like to affirm that this is poetry that not only delights but, through its instinctive perception of, as well as insight into the human experience, is also inherently wise. A volume of poems so rich in imagination, poetic intent, and the very making of poems, their creation and, by extension, creation itself, that I do not hesitate to recommend it to every serious lover of poetry, as well as to other serious poets, as a book to read, reread, and keep nearby for that random, ravishing experience of catching life's essence on the wing!
