Winner of 7 Book Awards in Literary Fiction - Included in the Prize-Winning Literary Fiction Series from LaPuerta Books and MediaIntrigue on the white sands of the Indian Ocean. From the award-winning author of Clifford's Spiral. A lonely widower from Los Angeles buys a tour package to East Africa on the promise of hookups and parties. What he finds instead are new reasons to live. Aldo Barbieri, a slick Italian tour operator, convinces Harry to join a group of adventuresome “voluntourists.” In a resort town on the Indian Ocean, Harry doesn't find the promised excitement with local ladies. But in the supermarket he meets Esther Mwemba, a demure widow who works as a bookkeeper. The attraction is strong and mutual, but Harry gets worried when he finds out that Esther and Aldo have a history. They introduce him to Victor Skebelsky, rumored to be the meanest man in town. Skebelsky has a plan to convert his grand colonial home and residential compound into a rehab center – as a tax dodge. The scheme calls for Harry to head up the charity. He could live like a wealthy diplomat and it won't cost him a shilling! Harry has to come to terms with questions at the heart of his character: Is corruption a fact of life everywhere? Is all love transactional? Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner is an emotional story of expat intrigue in Africa, reminiscent of The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene and The Constant Gardener by John le Carré. Praise for Clifford's Spiral (Independent Press Awards 2020 Distinguished Favorite in Literary Fiction) We've seen and noted the comparison of this author by other reviewers to literary giants like Roth and Vonnegut. And we can't disagree. Yet we feel there may be yet another strata for Gerald Everett Jones, who arguably is doing the best work of his career. We predict that he lacks only a mention in the The New York Review of Books or, better yet, Oprah, to become a nationwide best-selling author. Five-plus stars to Clifford's Spiral, a true literary novel if ever there was one. We say in all seriousness that if you only read one novel this year, this should be it. - Don Sloan, Publishers Daily Reviews Preacher Finds a Corpse (NYC Big Book Awards 2020 Winner in Mystery, IPA 2020 Distinguished Favorite in Mystery, Eric Hoffer 2020 Finalist in Mystery) This is literature masquerading as a mystery. Carefully yet powerfully, Gerald Jones creates a small, stunning world in a tiny midwestern town, infusing each character with not just life but wit, charm, and occasionally menace. This is the kind of writing one expects from John Irving or Jane Smiley. - Marvin J. Wolf, author of the Rabbi Ben Mysteries, including A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn

Gerald Everett Jones won six book awards in 2020, seven in 2021, and six in 2022: 2022 - Independent Press Award (IPA) Distinguished Favorite in General Fiction and Reader's Choice 5 Star in Fiction for "Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner."

Teatime with Miss Liz on June 11th, 3 pm EST, Bringing you all an important message on the Elephant Matriarch Project and her book “Terriers in the Jungle” The best-selling author and Co-Founder George Umano Meet My Guest: Georja Umano is an animal activist who has organized, spoken and written about animals and animal causes in the US, Italy and Kenya, especially in the fields of elephant and wildlife conservation. She is also a film, TV and theatre actress, stand-up comedian, teacher and journalist. She has earned a B.A. in English Literature at LeMoyne College and an M.A. in Educational Theatre at New York University. Her acting career started in New York, and she always leaned toward comedy. She appeared on all the episodes of a sitcom with Ed Asner, “Off the Rack,” played the title character in an award-winning short film, “The Godmother,” and was nominated for awards for her theatrical performance in “Kaballah” with Avery Shriver. She has performed stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, San Diego, and ten other states. Things changed when she got a dog, and she quickly became an avid animal advocate and feature journalist. She produced and starred in a cable show/web series with her dog, “The Georja and Marcello Show.” Soon afterward, she got involved with elephants. She went to Africa six times. The last time she decided to move there was when she brought her two rescue dogs and her husband, author Gerald Everett Jones. In her new novel, TERRIERS IN THE JUNGLE, she wrote about many of their adventures, including her plans to create “The Elephant Matriarch School” in Kenya. The novel is narrated by her dogs! As a young woman, Georja experienced a vivid past-life regression in which she was a young child whose mother was killed by an elephant hunter, and she was raised by elephants. While staying in Kenya, she realized that she was an elephant in that past life. Now, she knows many elephants in Kenya, has adopted many orphaned elephants, and has hugged many of them. TERRIERS IN THE JUNGLE won First Prize in Animal Fiction at The BookFest 2022. Many people say this book should become a movie, and Georja is working on that project now.Georjaumano.comElephantMatriarach.org#teatimewithmissliz #misslizteatime #makingadifferencetogether #animalactivist#elephants#kenya #actress #awardwinning #author #joinus #livestreaming #podcastshow #likefollowshare

Teatime with Miss Liz March 21st, 7 pm EST. Joining is a returning guest from seasons 3-4, Gerald Everett Jones - Show Host and Author with a new book and a new T-E-A. Meet my Guest, Gerald Everett Jones. Gerald Everett Jones is a freelance writer who lives in Santa Monica, California. Preacher Stalls the Second Coming is his fourteenth novel. He has been a longtime Independent Writers of Southern California (IWOSC) board member and host of the GetPublished! Radio podcast. He holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honors from the College of Letters, Wesleyan University, where he studied under novelists Peter Boynton (Stone Island), F.D. Reeve (The Red Machines), and Jerzy Kosinski (The Painted Bird, Being There). The issue of book banning is exploding across this country. Parents, activists, and lawmakers all demand the removal of certain books from schools, universities, and even public libraries. The American Library Association received an unprecedented 330 reports of book challenges last fall. The tactics and objections of these challenges push many to oppose the removal of some books, saying it violates the rights of those who want access to them. The Penguin Random House CEO recently pledged to donate thousands to the free speech organization PEN America to combat book banning. What do authors think about this recent phenomenon? Award-winning author Gerald Everett Jones finds it striking and potentially harmful. Gerald has just released his latest book, Preacher Raises the Dead, which takes on several controversial issues, including: * Can an agnostic be a practicing minister? * Should churches take views on political parties or candidates? * Is Near-Death Experience (NDE) physical or metaphysical? * How do “right to die” laws affect the treatment of patients in long-term coma? … and much more.

Before a hushed audience at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), our show host Gerald Everett Jones discloses secrets behind The Baptism by 19th century painter Julius Leblanc Stewart. Gerald Everett Jones is author of Bonfire of the Vanderbilts, which tells the secrets behind this painting. The painting, which LACMA now owns, shows a christening in a plush private parlor, attended by 21 people. The portraits are so realistic, the individuals should be recognizable. For more than a century, the rumor in the art world has been this is a Vanderbilt family event. However, the heirs and the curators of their estates all deny any association with the painting. Gerald's original research discloses why a bitter feud between Cornelius Vanderbilt II and banker J. P. Morgan is at the heart of the matter. He fictionalized this sensational story in Bonfire of the Vanderbilts. Want to break into print? Get help publishing your book at GetPublishedRadio.com.
