A MYSTICAL GLIMPSE INTO AMERICA'S PAST. When Green Leaves Fall encompasses the gamut of elements in great classic fiction, from history and suspense to romance, poetry, mythology, and faith. Add to this the author's exceptional character development that brings the people in the novel alive and the breathtaking imagery of the untamed world they discover. The story begins in the summer of 1909, when the sleepy little mill town of Devlin, W.Va., awakens. Best friends, Morgan Darrow and Dewey Baughman, leave boyhood behind in the wild mountain forests as they assist surveyors Lowe Yancy and Black Jack Clark on their expedition for the Watoga Lumber Company. When Lowe first sees the noble giant trees of the Big Timber, he is awed by their creator, and his journey to find peace and absolution in his life takes a new direction. The team faces many obstacles along the way, and learns that subduing the violence of other men is often much easier than conquering that of nature. Adventures of the heart also await them in Devlin, as Morgan and Dewey both fall in love, and Lowe's eyes open to the love he relinquished long ago, but never forgot. Set in the days of post-Civil War West Virginia, When Green Leaves Fall captures life in a small company town, where the company has the power to influence even hopes and dreams. In the tradition of John Steinbeck, Robey's novel explores a unique time and place in America's past through the hearts and voices of his memorable characters, and allows his readers to experience the last of the magnificent uncharted forest that once graced our land. The novel was inspired by the author's great-grandparents, who lived, worked, and raised their family in the small lumber mill town of Nallen, W. Va.

Offering a different perspective of the First World War, Home Before the Leaves Fallfollows two young German soldiers as they struggle to survive during a period of danger and uncertainty. August 1914: as war breaks out across Europe, German university student Franz Becker rushes to enlist. Franz is nineteen and the war appears to offer and adventure and the opportunity to escape from his dull, safe life. Franz’s closest friend, Karl von Leussow, is appalled by the conflict. Karl’s family has provided the Prussian Army with officers for generations and he knows that war is brutal and bloody. But Karl too enlists to defend his country. After six weeks of inadequate training, the new recruits arrive in Ypres where intense fighting results in slaughter. Franz is profoundly shocked by the scenes he witnesses, but learns to fight for his life. Promoted to corporal and then sergeant, Franz rises up the military ranks until he is pressured to become an officer. Unwilling to take the ‘express ticket to eternity’, he refuses the role. Karl, who grew up hunting, becomes a sniper much to Franz’s dismay. As aircraft – fragile structures built using wood and fabric – start to appear increasingly above the trenches, Franz starts to wonder what it would be like to fly and observe the war from above. When he applies for a transfer to the Air Service, Franz tries to persuade Karl to go with him, but his friend refuses. Both men get their wishes and are transferred. Before separating for the foreseeable future, the two go on leave together, perhaps for the final time. N L Collier draws from extensive research to write a book that will appeal to readers that enjoy historical fiction, particularly that about the military. Home Before the Leaves Fall is the first book in The Flowers of the Grass series, which follows Franz from 1914 to the end of the war.

The result of years of research in British, French and German archives, this is a new critical history of how close Germany came to winning the First World War in 1914. The German invasion of France and Belgium in August 1914 came close to defeating the French armies, capturing Paris and ending the First World War before the autumn leaves had fallen. But the German armies failed to score the knock-out blow they had planned and the war would drag on for four years of unprecedented slaughter. There are many accounts of 1914 from the British point of view, and the achievements of the British Expeditionary Force are the stuff of legend. But in reality, there were only four British divisions in the field, while the French and Germans had more than 60 each. The real story of the battle can only be told by an author with the skill to mine the extensive German and French archives. Ian Senior does this with consummate skill, weaving together strategic analysis with diary entries and interview transcripts from the soldiers on the ground to create a remarkable new history.
