New on Libertary:Invisible Ink-A Practical Guide to Building Stories that Resonate by Brian McDonald, an award winning screenwriter who has taught his craft at major studios. This guide to storytelling has been described as enlightening and essential by successful writers who have turned to it for deep insight and practical tools in constructing stories.

Reconciliation Road by John Douglas Marshall, our latest book, is a remarkable memoir of the author's effort to answer attacks on his grandfather, an influential military historian, who had bitterly rejected him when he became a conscientious objector in the Vietnam war. It is a journey into military politics, theory and history, as well as a story of family dynamics and personal growth. A great read!
