The Book of Ruth
It’s 1978, the year of three popes, and Cardinal Joshua Argus has his eye on becoming
the next pope at any cost. To achieve his goal he must do two things: make sure there
is an opening for the position that he wants and to clean up his past to avoid a scandalous ascension to
the papacy.
Standing
in his way is a young rookie detective for the Syracuse Police Department named Kathryn Krol. Kathryn is partnered with
a seasoned veteran detective named Angelo Marcello. Weary of having a female partner Angelo reluctantly
shows her the ropes of being a detective. When she shares with him a recurring dream of a nun being murdered crucifixion
style he starts to seriously doubt if she is cut out to be a detective. That is until they are assigned
a murder case that matches her dream in every detail. As they continue their investigation they realize
that the Cardinal is connected to the murder spree that spans across New York State. But with the
Cardinal now safely in Rome and beyond New York law, will they be able to stop him before he commits the ultimate murder
from within the Vatican?
Memoires From Lawrence
Memoires From Lawrence is a collection of short stories
and epic poems from author A J Bialo. All roads lead to Syracuse in the historically based short stories of
Harry the Hobo, Independence Day, The Book of Ruth, and Percy's Thunder.
Two epic poems are also included in this work that address the social
issues of both being gay in a straight society and being adopted in a system of closed adoptions. Of these two epic
poems included in Memoires From Lawrence, one entitled Uncommon Bond, is a previously published
poem which appeared in the September 2000 issue of Little Brown Poetry.com. Uncommon Bond received quite
a bit of feedback from readers who related to the story of one person's personal journey of being adopted. The second,
entitled On Being Gay is a commentary on the Gay Communities struggle to find equality under the law, especially
with the recent passage of Proposition Eight in California and what it means for the Gay Community in the future as the fight
continues.
Memoires From Lawrence is the first in a series of short
story and epic poem collections which will be released through Bialo Publications, Inc. Now available at your favorite
independent bookstore, or through online retailers, Memoires From Lawrence has something for everyone who enjoys
a good story with a message.
We at Bialo Publications, Inc. are proud to introduce The Reflection Tree as our first book of poetry
by our author A J Bialo.
Based upon the life experiences and observances of the author, The Reflection Tree provides
a new voice in poetry that touches on every day occurrences that almost anyone can relate to. Mostly written
in ballad form, with a very tight rhyming scheme, The Reflection Tree tells a story with each poem. These
stories address personal and social issues from a personal and often philosophical perspective. These
issues touch on a wide variety of topics, such as family dynamics, adoption, depression, and just everyday experiences with
a funny twist.
