The Bridges by D R Kinter

In the not-so-distant (nor unimaginable) future, the election of President Aaron Hart, billionaire businessman, brings great change to the U.S. And with the loss of his job at 62, life really changes for Billy Greenwich. One of the new mandatory Social Security retirement communities, The Bridges, is his destination, where he is to live out his “golden years.” But, at The Bridges, life is not watercolor classes and soft food. Billy’s determination to accept his new life as it is meets head-on with corruption, greed and malevolence. And his estranged wife.

Freeze Time Media published The Bridges, by D R Kinter, in July 2018. It’s available in paperback and as an ebook from Amazon and elsewhere. Visit his author page to learn more about him.

George Bailey’s Got Nothing On Me

Growing up on a traveling carnival and surrounded by a host of real life Damon Runyan and O Henry characters has proven to be a truly wonderful life for Cy Holliday, author of “George Bailey’s Got Nothing on Me: A Narrative History of the Holliday Family.”

The author’s paternal grandfather, father, and mother were instrumental in providing him a firm foundation for all of life’s challenges. From Broadway to carnival midways to the Atlantic City Boardwalk, these stories speak of a simpler time, but the life lessons are as applicable today as they were in the past. Mom was a Broadway star who worked with all the big band leaders of the 1930s and ‘40s. Dad was a carnie that grew up during the depression and lived by his wits. Grandpa was a carnie and a prizefighter. They and their friends formed the basis of what became the author’s life story, and a fascinating look at a different time in our country. Covering seven generations of the Holliday family from the 1700s to today, George Bailey’s Got Nothing on Me takes the reader on a unique genealogic ride with characters that are far from perfect and certainly not “politically correct.” Filled with individual triumphs and tragedies, it is as interesting a family memoir as you are likely to find.

“George Bailey’s Got Nothing on Me” is available in print and as an e-book.
