Gambling on Granola Named FINALIST in
​2019 NM-AZ Book Awards in the category First Book

 Congratulations, Fiona!

Gambling on Granola Named WINNER in
​2018 NM-AZ Book Awards in the category Business Book


Praise for Gambling on Granola
"A revealing and candid look at the life and struggle of a single mother and entrepreneur that captures the chaos and struggles of starting a business, juggling life and work, but also the lessons and rewards reaped from her empowering and enriching journey as an entrepreneur.”
—San Francisco Book Review

“Simon tells an interesting and honest story that stands as a heartfelt tribute to a mother’s love for her daughter and willingness to go after her dreams.”
—Manhattan Book Review

The Lake of Fire Named Finalist for Eric Hoffer Book Award
 

Terra Nova Books is pleased to announce that author Don Willerton’s recent book, The Lake of Fire, has been selected as a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Award, one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses (www.hofferaward.com). The award honors independent books of exceptional merit in categories such as art, children’s books, young adult, and adult fiction and nonfiction. It is given in honor of Eric Hoffer (1902–1983), an American moral and social philosopher who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1983.

Farewell, Aleppo audio book now available
“A multi-faceted biography of her father and his long-ago journey from ancient Aleppo to skyscraper America—and against that background, Claudette Sutton offers us not only the story of the vanished Syrian-Jewish culture in Aleppo, now a battleground in Syria’s civil war, but also a look at how that culture still survives, and still nourishes Syrian Jews now living in America. A treasure of a book.”
—Bernard Kalb, Former correspondent for the New York Times, CBS News and NBC News, and Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs


Narrated by the author and available for purchase through Amazon, Audible or iTunes.
