By Nicolas Ambrose
 A Small Matter of Destiny is an historical fantasy set in 13th century Sicily. A great deal of research went into the creation of this book, ensuring that the story is both unique and historically accurate. Using vivid and detailed descriptions of place, time, and character, the author creates a mental landscape that will magnetically draw you in and drop you feet first into another world.
And, although the story is completely entertaining in its own right, there are also important lessons tucked within the pages of this classic quest. Nicolas thoughtfully explores the possibility of creating a reality for oneself that does not depend on what others believe is possible. In today's world, bombarded on all sides by those proclaiming that every tomorrow will be worse than today, these valuable lessons are certainly worth considering.
From the back cover...
"If it weren't for the Gift, he would never have known. If it weren't for the Gift, he would have been content. But Edmond Dantifori had the Gift--a Power few could comprehend--and with this Gift a simple peasant boy was about to change the world.
It is a time of Chaos--a time of famine and disease and war worse than anyone can remember. And yet, even in the midst of such hopelessness, a peasant boy has glimpsed a future far different than the creeping pestilence outside his door.
In strange dreams and baffling visions, young Edmond has seen himself as both warrior and savior, fulfilling a great destiny in which he will ultimately deliver his people from Darkness to Light.
Scoffed at by his own family and relentlessly pursued by those who would use his powers for evil, Edmond must find the courage to face unimaginable dangers as he and his friends embark on one of the greatest quests of all time!

By Bernando LaPallo, as told to and written by Anne Cornelius. Edited by Nicolas Ambrose.
 In early 2008, 106-year-old Bernando LaPallo approached Anne Cornelius and her husband, Nicolas Ambrose, with an interesting proposition. He wished to collaborate on the creation of a very special book--a book that would help others achieve something that they otherwise might think impossible: a long and productive life free from the common afflictions of old age. The result of that collaboration is the book, Age Less, Live More. In this amazing work, Mr. LaPallo explores a new way of living, unhindered by stress and sickness, and shows how to add not just years to your life, but life to your years.
Within these pages, Mr. LaPallo explains:
- The wisdom and impact of his father's early lessons
- How having the right attitude can add years to your life
- The need for physical movement and mental challenge
- Specific foods that increase longevity, and which foods to avoid
- The amazing product called "Superfood"
From the back cover...
"In 1906, at the tender age of five, Bernando LaPallo began to learn the secrets of long life and optimum health from his father, a Brazilian-born doctor and herbalist. He was patiently taught the importance of proper nutrition, the wisdom of movement and exercise, and the profound value of faith. It was the start of a remarkable journey--a life that has spanned 107 years without disease or any of the other afflictions so prevalent in today's aging population.
After passing along his father's wisdom to his children and grandchildren, with the same amazing results, Bernando decided that it is time to share his formula for health and longevity with the world; this book is a result of that desire.
Join Bernando on an astounding journey as he opens the doors to a new way of living, unhindered by stress and sickness, and shows how to add not just years to your life, but life to your years!"

From the back cover...
"Many people have, at one time or another, dreamed of writing their own book. They might have a great idea for a mystery or romance novel, or wish to create a book of recipes or even publish their memoirs. Some have actually started writing a manuscript, and a few have even finished one. But, once the last page is typed, then what?
In Publish It!--A Comprehensive, Step-by-Step Guide For Creating and Publishing Your Own Book, author Nicolas Ambrose clearly answers this question using concise, easy-to-follow instructions, supported by over one hundred screenshots and illustrations.
Using an actual manuscript as an example, Nicolas demonstrates how to:
- Format and convert a rough manuscript into a formal book layout, with chapter and section headings, multiple page-numbering styles, and complex headers and footers, using only a personal computer and word processor.
- Create professional-looking front and back matter, including Half-Title and Title pages, a Copyright Notice, Dedication, Table of Contents, an Author's Biography, and more.
- Resize and insert photographs or other images into the book layout.
- Optionally create complete front and back cover art to be used when the book is produced.
- Upload and publish the completed book using a print-on-demand publishing service with no up-front costs, and then purchase copies inexpensively for personal use, to give as gifts, or to sell for profit.
- Market to anyone on the Internet using a free, online storefront and promotional web page.
- And much, much more!
Publish It! is a priceless resource for anyone wishing to create a quality book that they can be proud of.
