Gino, The Countess & Chagall is a deeply engaging novel set in post-World War II Italy and France. A world of art and artists where Gino, a former soldier, becomes a lowly assistant to a master artist who is restoring one of Italy's great frescoes. Gino then moves on to Paris where he struggles for artistic recognition and support in his own right. A scheming half-brother, a vulnerable sister, a series of art masters, beautiful women comprise a memorable cast of characters in this outstanding novel of war and peace, love and hate, art and artists.

The second book in the "Will to Conquer" series, Len Lamensdorf's The Raging Dragon is a fantastically conceived and excitingly presented novel for young adults and concerns two young people who must fight and think their way through the events of history in the 1960s. Life-threatening challenges, vicious enemies, and intrigue on the streets of Paris await young Willi and Louise, who meet with their French Resistance allies in a famous bistro called the Raging Dragon. An assassination plot against President John F. Kennedy and his wife threatens to change history, unless Willi and Louise are up to the task! Also very highly recommended is the first volume in "Will To Conquer" series, The Crouching Dragon. The third volume comprising this outstanding trilogy will be The Flying Dragon.
