By Jay Treiber. 2014
"A thrilling and elegantly wrought debut about the far-reaching effects of our decisions, and our irrepressible desire to undo the…
worst of them. Treiber is a writer of enormous talents, and Spirit Walk will leave you breathless until the final page."--JONATHAN EVISON, author of The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving"At once gritty and lyrical, Spirit Walk is a haunting tale of the modern American West. Out of the explosive violence, hard living, and stark beauty of the Arizona borderlands, Jay Treiber has woven a gripping story of remembrance and redemption, beautifully painting the place and giving voice to its people. I can't stop thinking about it."--JENNIFER CARRELL, author of Haunt Me Still and Interred with Their Bones"The borderland setting of Spirit Walk only appears empty. This landscape is inhabited by commingled cultures, criss-crossed jurisdictions and colliding values--where a rancher wouldn't leave a bottle cap, traffickers litter bodies. Depicting an episode of violence as confounding in memory as the day it erupted, Jay Treiber shows the corrosive costs of the drug trade--and of burying the past. In the vein of Philip Caputo's Crossers."--CHARLIE QUIMBY, author of Monument Road"There's a wonderful sense of authenticity and place here...Jay Treiber has given us a rich, well-written, multi-layered book to satisfy wide reading appetites."--ROBERT HOUSTON, author of Bisbee 17"In this intersection of New West and Old West, Jay Treiber writes without sentiment about life, love, and death in the borderlands of the American southwest. Spirit Walk bleeds a rawness and honesty missing from much of today's fiction--this triumph belongs within the canon of western literature. Watch out, Cormac!"--ANDY NETTELL, owner of Back of Beyond Books, Moab, UTGod on a Harley: A Spiritual Fable
By Joan Brady. 1995
At thirty-seven, Christine Moore had a world-class case of burnout: frustrating career, a few dead-end romances, and a less-than-perfect figure.…
Little did she know her life was about to change completely...."Come out of the shadows, Christine. You've spent far too much time hiding in shadows." The man who spoke to her was gorgeous -- long sable hair, faded T-shirt, black motorcycle jacket -- all astride a 1340cc Harley-Davidson, mysteriously parked on a moonlit beach near her home. Christine was inexplicably drawn to this stranger -- who seemed to know everything about her -- and as a sweet serenity settled over her, she surrendered to his words: "We have a lot of work to do, but it won't feel like work. It will feel quite wonderful." So begins Christine's journey, a voyage of the spirit that frees her to appreciate each precious moment of life -- and reveals to her six wondrous precepts that lead to the deepest peace and fulfillment we can ever know. For every woman whose heart has ever been broken, but who believes in her soul that real happiness can be found, God On A Harley has arrived.

By Ricardo Zárate. 2019
Quien procura los deseos de su corazón llega a conocer todo aquello de lo que es capaz. "Al fin y…
al cabo, a eso había ido a Londres, a arriesgar lo que tenía y lo que no tenía, a propiciar una ruptura con la persona que había sido durante toda mi vida. Había ido a cambiar mi destino." De manos de su mejor amigo, un chico recibe el folleto de una reconocida escuela de cine en Londres y se entera de que ahí estudian los hijos de Spielberg y otros famosos, que de seguro llegarán lejos. A pesar de su amor por el cine y de que su mayor sueño en la vida es convertirse en guionista, se resigna a guardar el folleto en un cajón y se inscribe en la carrera de ingeniería. Pero años después, algo en su interior le impide enfocarse en su prometedor futuro como ingeniero y, con apenas unos cuantos billetes en el bolsillo, se lanza al vacío, como equilibrista sin malla de protección. ¿Su meta? Entrar, acomo dé lugar, en aquella escuela del anuncio que pasó tanto tiempo latente en el buró y cuya colegiatura es inalcanzable para él. Una travesía de inimaginables desventuras y golpes de la fortuna. Porque hay puntos de quiebre tan tremendos que o te apartas de los algodones del confort mental, o no llegarás vivo al final del viaje hacia ti mismo; sólo así podrás transformarte en quien siempre has querido ser.She's Powerful Trouble
