BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: An Armenian-American Woman’s Journey Home, by Jemela S. Macer, Ph.D.: Macer takes us on a deeply reflective journey to reclaim lost parts of her ancient Armenian soul and unite them with her modern American life. Born the grandchild of Armenian Genocide survivors, Macer asks: How does transgenerational trauma live within us? How do we forgive our perpetrators and find healing? Macer discusses her upbringing in California, her travels to India, Europe, Pakistan, China, South America, and finally, her time in ancient Western Armenia.

 Jemela S. Macer is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Pasadena, CA. She taught English as a Second Language and cross-cultural communication at the University of Southern California and cross-cultural psychology at Antioch University. She has also consulted in the areas of diversity and parenting.

JUST ANOTHER PILGRIM ON THE TRAIN TO WAU by Chick Lewis: In 1975, Lewis gave notice to his job as a physicist, sold nearly everything he owned, and headed out from Los Angeles to see the world. And see it he did. In the following 41 months of vagabonding, he used the cheapest local transport, stretched everydollar, and opened himself up to the beauty of the people and cultures – and adventures – surrounding him, as he circumnavigated the globe.

 Chick Lewis returned home to work at 3D Systems as a design engineer. He designed and built the prototypes for the world's first commercial 3-D printers, using resin and lasers, and is named as a co-inventor on at least 18 U.S. Patents. Chick retired in 2009 and resumed traveling extensively.

ROCK. STONE. PEBBLE. by Ann Bernath: Chances were slim that a young woman from the Provinces would encounter legendary Dusters during a short ride across the Wildlands. But when her coach is waylaid by masked riders and her coach mate is abducted, her adventure in the Wildlands begins with two Dusters named Rock and Stone.

 Southern California native Ann Bernath has been writing since the age of 6, inspired by the "Author! Author!" episode of "The Patty Duke Show." In 2023, two of her short stories were included in the TechLit anthology Inner Space and Space and Outer Thoughts: Speculative Fiction from Caltech and JPL Authors. She self-published Rock. Stone. Pebble that same year.  Ann writes genre fiction - westerns and sci-fi/fantasy in particular – and has both a prequel and a fantasy novel in progress.
