The Osprey Man

Description Osprey Man by Christopher Tuthill


Jacob is at that most magical time between childhood and adolescence. As the end of the school year approaches, he is dreaming of baseball and the beach, but most of all, about working on the comic book he and his best friend Jonathan have created, The Osprey Man. Then tragedy strikes and Jacob has to find an inner strength he is not sure he has.

This beautifully written tale of youth, coping, and working through grief is ideal for readers of all ages.

Review Osprey Man by Christopher Tuthill


Guest Review by Mark

A novel perfect for Young Adults, ‘The Osprey Man,’ by Christopher Tuthill is a story about a young man on the starting edge of puberty who suffers a great loss that he will never forget.

Jacob is just getting out of the fourth grade and starting a summer full of possibilities, when he hears the news that his best friend has been killed in an accident. Jon was the same age as Jacob and the idea that his friend could be gone forever is both startling and devastating for the boy, especially so soon after Jacob lost his younger brother to cancer.

Now Jacob feels lost, and unsure of whether he should continue the comic book that he and Jon were working on. The comic book, Osprey Man, is about a superhero who stops poachers from killing animals. Jacob was supposed to write it, while Jon was creating the illustrations. Eventually, Jacob decides to continue working on the comic and asks for the help of a friend named Kris to do so. But Kris’ older brother provides an obstacle, as he seems to make it his mission in life to bully the two younger boys every chance that he gets.

Between this and Jacob’s new part-time job cleaning up at the pizzeria, the summer of 1984 is a busy and tough one. But will it be possible for Jacob and Kris to finish the comic? You have to read the book to find out the answer to that question!

‘The Osprey Man,’ was a highly enjoyable novel, and a wonderfully nostalgic look back at the eighties. Tuthill’s writing was genuine, heartfelt and skilled. I really felt for Jacob and his loss and I wanted him to succeed from the get-go. This is a five-star book that can be enjoyed by any and all readers!

Description Summer Lightning By Roberta Silman


Summer Lightning by Roberta Silman is an important new historical novel that tells the story of an immigrant Jewish family from the challenging prewar years all the way through to the Kennedy assassination. Silman’s captivating characters take risks as they strengthen their ties to those they left behind in Europe, the dazzling Manhattan art scene of the 50’s and 60’s, and the African American community.

Award-winning audiobook narrator Carrington MacDuffie’s reading of Silman’s elegant prose is powerful and exciting.

<h2>Praise Summer Lightning By Roberta Silman

“This appealing family tale offers astute characterizations and a panoramic view of the 20th century … the Kaplows are the kind of people the audience will remember long after the last chapter… the current, much abraded world needs this type of tale more than ever.”- Kirkus Reviews

“ …what will resonate most is Silman’s intensely emotional depiction of the Kaplow’s commitment to family and helping others.” – Publishers Weekly

Filthy Rich Lawyers by Brian Felgoise and David Tabatsky: Giveaway

Filthy Rich Lawyers by Brian M. Felgoise, Esq, David TabatskyFilthy Rich Lawyers: The Education of Ryan Coleman by Brian M. Felgoise, Esq, David Tabatsky

Thanks to Catherine Kennedy of Ascot Media Group, Inc., I am giving away one print copy of ‘Filthy Rich Lawyers’.

Description Filthy Rich Lawyers by Brian M. Felgoise, Esq, David Tabatsky


Inspired by real-life class-action lawyers, The Education of Ryan Coleman begins in a Texas courtroom, where an ambitious attorney from Philadelphia chases his share of a lawsuit and gets his ass reamed by the judge. During this “trial-by-fire,” Coleman meets Eugenia Cauley, a female legal shark whose life ends tragically, and Robert Smalley, a brilliant attorney and borderline criminal who boasts that “I have the greatest practice of law in the world. I have no clients.”

Coleman enters a hedonistic world of wealth and power, and becomes an errand boy and fixer for Randy Hollis, an insanely successful lawyer who is trying to buy a professional football team. Patrick Coyle, a prosecutor with an old grudge, and Dick Dickey, former Secretary of Defense and CEO of a military contractor, try to ruin Hollis and Coleman. When an escort mysteriously dies in Hollis’ penthouse, Coleman must choose between telling the truth or going to jail. This satirical thriller reveals how our legal system enables lawyers to get filthy rich. As Mortimer Zuckerman, real estate magnate and media billionaire, once said, “Practicing law is the exact opposite of sex. Even when it’s good, it’s bad.”

Praise Filthy Rich Lawyers by Brian M. Felgoise, Esq, David Tabatsky


“Award-Winning Finalist in the Humor/Comedy/Satire category of the 2022 American Fiction Awards”

I laughed out loud at the salty wise cracks on most every page. But the lightning paced humor provides a serious message about corruption in class action litigation. This is a hilarious satire about a very real problem. —Matt Flynn, author, Milwaukee Jihad

Felgoise and Tabatsky take us on a wild ride into the intense and lucrative world of class action litigation. Sex, money and drugs are only part of the reward available for lawyers who are tough and crafty enough to play in a league where shameless greed is sometimes rewarded, but where the personal and professional risks are as big as the dollar signs. —James V. Irving, Bean, Kinney & Korman, P.C., author, of Friends Like These and the Joth Proctor Fixer novels

Filthy Rich Lawyers is expertly crafted and witty, which helps ‘the medicine go down’ as we follow Ryan Coleman, a naïve stooge, as he navigates his way through a craven, soulless world.—Rick Parks Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California, co-writer, Ever After and The Secret: Dare to Dream
