In my life I had a lot of challenges and trials, the most recent one being diagnosed with breast cancer and having to explain it to my boys in the best way possible. That’s why I feel very strong about publishing my book more than ever as my boys are my inspiration, my strength, and this book is dedicated to all three of my boys.

DESTINATION GULAG | Self Publish a Book

Self Publish a Book Author Steven Kashuba is a first-generation Canadian of Ukrainian-Polish heritage. As a youngster, he heard his father talk about his time in the Austrian Army and his mother about the family she left behind. While teaching in Germany, Steven set out in search of family in the Soviet Union—an interest that remains with him to this day. His career encompasses educational administration, real estate, municipal affairs, and consulting in Poland, Ukraine, and Armenia. Steven, the author of Once Lived a Village, continues to be involved in volunteerism and genealogy. He is an avid sports enthusiast and you will often find him out on the golf links.

Overview


With the death of Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin came into power and immediately moved to state control of production and distribution. The Kozlovs were branded as kulaks, their farm seized through a policy of collectivization and their crops treated as state property. Stalin interrogated, arrested, and deported dissenters in cattle cars to isolated concentration and labour camps in Siberia. They were treated like cattle, shuttled from camp to camp, fed if useful, starved if not. Unless productive, their lives were worthless to their masters.

Even though the Gulag took millions of lives, the indifference towards this phenomenon is startling. The absence of hard information backed up by archival research made it difficult to unlock the horrors of the Gulag. Archives were closed and access to camp sites was forbidden. No television or cameras ever filmed the Soviet camps or its victims.

Today, Russians seldom want to debate, discuss, or even acknowledge the Gulag. Russia has few monuments to the victims of Stalin’s execution squads and concentration camps. There is no national monument or place of mourning and no government inquiries into what happened in the past. It is as if the deportees left no footprints.

It is my fervent hope that Destination Gulag will capture the tragedy, and perhaps the triumph, of the deportation of the Kozlov family to Siberia.

Inspire Me | Trafford Publishing

Self Publish a Book author Veniessa. I am a self-taught Canadian artist whose hobby as a child has developed into a unique style portraying a passion of art and spirituality. Along with my writings, my art consists of combining watercolor, oil, and acrylics on canvas to express my views and innermost feelings of the souls that have touched me to date. My goal is to inspire through my art as I have been truly inspired by the trials, tribulations, and celebrations of one’s soul. May you have much happiness, understanding, and love on your journey of life.

Overview


As a person in this era, a complicated world full of emotion that is more acceptable to bring forth in all situations, it can be difficult to find not your voice but your soul. Most of us today have been taught by our parents, peers, or perhaps sometimes even a stranger how to use our voice, how to stand up for ourselves, how to judge, distrust, and have an opinion. However, in a world so smart and accepting of emotion, we have forgotten or don’t know at all to honor our soul.

Such an important part of who we are as people, and for many of us, we don’t take the time to nurture it at all. I don’t believe a soul needs monetary things; it doesn’t feel hate, anger, jealousy, distrust, or judgment. It is the truest form of our being and is exempt of such loud negativity that we label emotion. We claim it’s now acceptable as it somehow makes us an individual, therefore, something to take pride in—shame on us.

What would it be like without these emotions? Personally, it’s a secret dream of mine. In my strangest state, I often wonder, if we were to be able to leave conjured emotion alone and only feed or honor the soul, could we then be on a higher plane? A different space, if you will, away from reality. Among the rest of the living things that are without ego-driven state but only the purest of motivation to feed what lays within.

Overview


Tim is an ordinary boy in an ordinary small town. He's going through the motions of preparing for Christmas along with his know-it-all cousin Natalie and clumsy best friend Stretch.

It is finally Christmas vacation!

Tim is looking forward to doing all the fun things he enjoys, like tobogganing and having snowball fights. He doesn't want to be bothered decorating the Christmas tree or shoveling snow. He especially thinks he’s too old to write a letter to Santa Claus, even though his parents strongly suggest he should, “Just in case.”

Every year Stretch and Tim build a special contraption intended to capture Santa Claus. But Tim doesn't even want to help Stretch build this traditional Santa Trap they design every year! Tim believes that if Santa really existed, they would have surely caught him by now.

That is until Alexander, a member of the "Secret Society of Santa's Snowmen," explains that an evil entity, known as the Jester, from history’s past has returned to challenge Santa for control of the Christmas Holiday. Alexander convinces Tim and Stretch that the chairman of this society, Excelsior, needs their help in saving Christmas or else Christmas as they know it would be gone forever!

How can Tim and Stretch, two ordinary boys, possibly help in such an important task? That’s when they turn to Tim’s cousin, “Know-it-all” Natalie, for help.

Join Tim, Stretch and Natalie, the “Jr. Detective,” in their Quest to save Christmas from the evil Jester. Will the group successfully fight off the immense powers of the Jester? Will Christmas ever be the same again?

A Portrait of Brazil in the Twentieth Century | Trafford Publishing

How to publish a book Author Mark Curran is a retired professor from Arizona State University where he taught Spanish and Portuguese languages and their respective cultures from 1968 to 2011. His research specialty was Brazil, and he made more than twenty trips to that country to collect Brazil’s folk-popular poetry, the “Literatura de Cordel,” and study its relationship to Brazilian erudite literature and history. Some twenty-five articles in research journals and eleven books published in Brazil, the United States, and Spain are the results of this endeavor. In retirement since 2011, Curran has written and published eight volumes of memory books from The Farm, growing up in Abilene, Kansas, and Coming of Age with the Jesuits, years of undergraduate and graduate education with the Jesuits, to books recounting travel and study in Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico—the latter treating topics he taught at ASU. This book is the latest in the series.

Overview


A Portrait of Brazil in the Twentieth Century: The Universe of the “Literatura de Cordel” is Curran’s most recent project. The book, in effect, is the English version of a major work published in Brazil in Portuguese in 2011, Retrato do Brasil em Cordel. Curran returns to Portrait for several reasons: primary is his strong feeling that the amazingly broad view of Brazil in the twentieth century seen in the thousands of booklets in verse from the Cordel represents a major aspect of Brazilian culture in that century. Second, because there are many important bodies of folk-popular verse in the Western tradition, all distant relatives of the Greek and Roman epic traditions, and because Brazil’s folk-popular poetry is one among them. And because a very large reading public interested in such things does not know Portuguese, this volume in English strives to make the tradition available to such readers. Finally, the book in two volumes represents the cumulative efforts of research and writing of Professor Curran in a career of forty-three years of scholarly research and teaching. It reveals a unique portrait of Brazil and its people, informative, instructive, and mainly, entertaining.
