Like any young man, Etienne longs for independence and dreams about a bright future. But he’s a Tourangeau, part of a sprawling Quebec family that, though destitute, thrives as insecurely as weeds in a well-tended garden, nurtured by a mother whose abundant love is more than maternal. Then he meets Odile, a beautiful young woman from a good family who inspires Etienne to transform his future into something worthy of her. But, like Romeo and Juliet, their wild, pure love for each other cannot last. Though Etienne faces his challenges courageously, destiny will force the young lovers apart.

This is an epic fiction drenched in reality. Devil's Paintbrush tells the life story a young boy who grows up in a violent and abusive home within the Projects of Brooklyn, Baltimore during the 1960s. Then, as a young man, he once again finds himself thrust in another hostile environment - South Vietnam. Somehow he survives both worlds. Decades after receiving "The Bronze Star" in combat, Ken Callahan's long suppressed memories and fractured emotions compel him to enter yet another threatening battlefield and engage a very different enemy - a foe deadlier than any Viet Cong or bird-eating tarantula he ever confronted as a younger man. This new battlefield is the private office of the Veteran Administration's top PTSD clinician. His new enemy is ... himself. Within the relative safety of this clinician's office, Ken is reluctantly dragged-back in time to unearth decades of buried memories of war. That's when the PTSD professional community becomes stunned as they discover Ken's combat experience was not as lethal as the domestic violence and sexual abuse he endured at the hands of a disturbed older brother and sinfully wicked mother long before he even went to war. In short, Ken Callahan's PTSD was deeply entrenched well before he stepped foot on the battlefields of South Vietnam. "Discovering" the truth about his own past proves to be challenging enough, but in order to "accept" such truth, Ken must cross a line from which there is no return. The man who ultimately emerges is not the same "Bronze Star" recipient who reluctantly enters PTSD treatment; nor are the people he touches along the way. Only the qualities of a Devil's Paintbrush can provide the caliber of personal resilience needed throughout every step of Ken Callahan's life-long journey. Readers of this story will be either shocked and disgusted or enlightened and educated. There is no safe place between these two extremes. This book earned positive reviews. 1. "... a heartbreaking tale lightened by hard-won redemption." - BlueInk Review 2. "While not the easiest read because of the harrowing emotional and physical abuse described, The Devil's Paintbrush can offer guidance for survivors of child abuse and suffers of PTSD." - Clarion Review 3. "... the graphic, sometimes nightmarish scenes can be deeply unsettling, and the descriptions of Ken's therapy and dealings with the Veterans Administration help shine a light on the depressingly common struggles faced by veterans today. An inspiring if not terribly exciting tale of falling down but always getting back up." - Kirkus Indie Review

The Pine Barrens region in New Jersey has long been a place of mystery, with its dark pine groves, black swamps, and dank bogs, oftentimes shrouded in mist and fog. Reputed to be haunted by spirits, it’s an unsettling place to be sure. But of all the mysterious happenings and sights to be found in the Pine Barrens, there is none so intriguing as the Jersey Devil. Since its first reported sighting in 1735, local lore has it that a “devil-like” creature with the head of a horse, the wings of a bat, and the hooves of a goat has menaced townspeople, frightened livestock, and caused all manner of trouble over the years. Is the Jersey Devil real? Award-winning author Trinka Hakes Noble weaves a spellbinding tale about the origins of the legend of the Jersey Devil. Atmospheric illustrations by artist Gerald Kelley bring the tale to spooky life.
