New SDWEG member Thomas Wing will mark the release of his latest book, In Harm's Way, at a public launch party aboard HMS Rose/Surprise at the Maritime Museum on June 14 at 1 p.m.; a signing at Barnes and Noble, Encinitas, on June 21 at 2 p.m.; and a signing at Bay Books in Coronado on June 22 at noon. In Harm's Way is a novel set during the American Revolution. 


Thank Ye, Mister Sun, by Bob Riffenburgh was  recently published. This adult historical novel tells the story of a teen boy in Depression-era Appalachia. He is happy with boyish pursuits until his beloved sister is assaulted, fueling him with anger. When his parents are unable to seek justice, he takes that goal upon himself, helped by his best friend. The two boys' childish fantasies slowly evolve into a precarious adult plan. The story and a cast of unforgettable characters paint a vivid cultural portrait of Appalachian life in that era. Find Thank Ye, Mister Sun on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, and other book sites. 


Ruth Wallace's new book, Integrating Nutrition Into Mental Health Care, was released in May. This book presents resources in areas such as caffeine intake, family history of a genetically transmitted nutrition-related condition, interpretation of laboratory nutritional assessment, and safe upper limits of supplements. It also includes a series of short fictional but real-life nutrition stories. Wallace's book is available on Amazon.
