HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW IS TRUE?

When Emma Quinn gets a call in her Manhattan apartment—your grandmother, out walking her dog, found dead in the snow—she has no reason to suspect foul play. A history professor at Columbia and the sole heir to the Quinn fortune, she heads down to Delaware, where her grandmother’s death has triggered a series of unsettling events—a break-in at the estate, an unexpected visit from the CIA and the discovery of a disturbing collection of news clippings in an upstairs study—about hijackings, bombings and acts of terror. Back in Manhattan, Emma is being followed by a mysterious stranger. Her distress grows when she meets a well-known historian, a Scotsman and Sovietologist named Angus McLearan, who accuses her late grandfather of wrongdoing during the 1930s and ‘40s.

Determined to clear her grandfather’s name and to understand her grandmother’s fate, Emma forms an uneasy alliance with McLearan. Together, they head deeper into an intrigue that harks back to the beginnings of the Cold War and the early days of the intelligence community. As Emma’s research and the CIA’s investigation into the death of their agent begin to intersect, she no longer knows who or what to believe. And it soon becomes apparent that this isn’t just about something that happened in the 1940s. It’s about an operation that is still in play in 1978, one that puts Emma—and the broader world—at risk. When a discovery leads her to her family’s remote Adirondack cabin, the stranger follows. There, Emma is forced to confront the truth—about her family and about history as we know it.

Praise for THE HISTORY TEACHER

“Starting with a baffling double murder in a snowstorm in Delaware . . . THE HISTORY TEACHER rushes the reader through a perilous intersection of chateau country wealth, the academic world in Manhattan and Cold War intrigue . . . an excellent, well-crafted debut novel.”
— CURTIS WILKIE, journalist and author of The Fall of the House of Zeus

“THE HISTORY TEACHER is . . . a lively, classic page-turner—full of spying, murder and double dealing. Emma Quinn and her grandmother Margaret are 20th century heroines who would have to wait for a 21st century writer as skilled and clever as Bacon . . . to imagine their brave and savvy pursuit of the truth.”
—EMILY YELLIN, journalist and author of Our Mothers’ War

Heroin, Oxycontin and Other Opiates: Breaking your addiction to them by Ken Montrose

Breaking your addictionThis workbook looks at the carrot and the stick of opiate addiction. The exercises are geared to helping the reader recognize what motivates him to continue using these drugs. It also discusses common-sense approaches to recovering from addiction.

From the Introduction of Heroin, Oxycontin and Other Opiates: Breaking your addiction to them by Ken Montrose:

There is a “carrot and stick” to opiates. Imagine a jackass chasing a carrot dangled in front of him on a stick. The animal will chase that carrot until he is exhausted, remembering the taste of the first carrot.

Now imagine that his master finally allows him to eat the carrot in the shade. The carrot only satisfies his hunger for a few minutes. In what seems like a moment, his master will be hitting him with a stick to get him moving again. Soon his belly is rumbling, his sides hurt from the stick, and he knows he must get up to chase another carrot.

This workbook about breaking your addiction to opiates is free now on Amazon.

Opiates are the carrot and the stick. The high, and the escape from pain, are the carrot. Withdrawal and all the problems opiate addiction causes are the stick. Addiction is the master. Guess which role you play. This workbook will help you stop.

For those who are addicted or their family and friends. Very helpful.

The author of Heroin, Oxycontin and Other Opiates: Breaking your addiction to them grips my attention by personifying addiction to various drugs. He also uses analogies, illustrations and quotes to reach my imagination and clarify his points. Very good writing. He also a certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, with a Master’s Degree in Developmental Psychology. I find it refreshing to read a book written by a profession in the field, not by someone trying to make a buck by copy and paste methods.

The author compares opiates to “the carrot and stick” and a mule being motivated by such. “Even if all your problems are real,” he says, “opiates let you escape rather than deal with them.” So how does one deal with breaking the addiction to them? By “them” he means heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, alcohol, and combination of all these. Following each short chapter are worksheets to help readers work through their problems and understand what they have to deal with.

“Don’t give up. There’s no such thing as a hopeless addict,” he maintains. He gives step-by-step counsel for overcoming addiction. Included are how to find and work with resources such as medical doctors and counselors. You’ll also get an overview of support groups such as AA and DA. Overall, Heroin, Oxycontin and Other Opiates: Breaking your addiction to them encourages those struggling with addictions and provides good counsel how to win over them.

Dancing with Rachel by Ken Montrose

Dancing with RachelExcerpt from Dancing with Rachel:

My belly rumbled. Terror. Choked on his own vomit — didn’t somebody famous die that way? Lost. A man was dead. They made his suicide look like an accident. An insane man was judged sane enough to be put to death. He was happy about it. When I shut my eyes, the devils reappeared.
“But Kai got out,” a rare friendly voice said. It made me smile. I even giggled a little. The nurse muttered “inappropriate affect” and wrote something on a clipboard.
“Dr. Stephenson home with his young wife?” I asked. She dropped the clipboard. I’m going to be here awhile.
“He’s never leaving,” a voice said.
Still, Kai got out.

Amazon reviews for Dancing with Rachel:

Excellent writing
Dancing with Rachel is a tremendous book, by an author with an exceptional understanding of mental illness and it’s ugly realities in current health care. It is also encouraging and hopeful in its presentation of brain trauma and recovery. The plot is excellent, even if a little overdone in the ending. I wish every person could read this book.

Ken is a great storyteller
Ken Montrose’s Dancing with Rachel is sooo Ken! I have had the fortunate experience to have had training under him. Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. Great story by an even greater storyteller.
