Aliens battle for Earth in latest Terry Ray novel

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — Sunbury Press has released Terry Ray’s latest novel GXM731 about the aliens who battle to protect the Earth.

About the Book:

Astronomers are now discovering Earth-like planets on a daily basis.  That we are alone in the universe is now a much bigger leap of faith than to accept that we are but one of countless races among the galaxies.

There are races more primitive than Earthlings and races far more advanced. The advanced races travel the universe.  They visit many galaxies, including the Milky Way.  They have been visiting Earth for a very long time.

To think that advanced races are grotesque beings with Neanderthal-like brains … bent upon killing other races in the universe, is to think as a child.  Along with sentience comes pathos – knowing of your own existence, and the agony and ecstasy that accompanies such knowledge.

The sentient races of the universe – Earthlings among them – ponder the origins of their existence and thus, God.  They love, hate, are bored, make love and war, lie, cheat, steal, create art, like to eat and sleep, play, dance, write stories, have pets and houses, tell jokes and laugh, mourn their dead, are curious and like to learn, are afraid sometimes, are lonely sometimes, like to sing.  They are afraid of death – and what comes after.

GXM731 is a space story of the real races of the universe, in all their glory and failings.

New book chronicles the life of a child with Marshall-Smith Syndrome

DETROIT — Sunbury Press has released The View from Four Foot Two, Judi Markowitz’s biography of her daughter Lindsay and her rare medical condition, Marshall-Smith Syndrome.

About the Book:

tvf4f2_fcThere are 30 million people around the world with syndromes you have never heard of — Weaver, Soto’s, Stickler, and Ehlers-Danlos just to name a few.  And, there are 30 million mothers who, like Judi Markowitz, were informed of the syndrome their baby was born with in words that sounded something like this:

“Your child is not normal.  Blah, blah, blah.  Your child will be different from all the other children.  Blah, blah, bah.  Those eyes you’re staring into right now belong to someone who’s damaged.  It is not your fault.  Or, maybe it is your fault.  Blah, blah, blah.  You have just delivered a functioning baby, but you have also delivered yourself a life sentence.”

Some mothers, like Judi, whose children were born with Marshall-Smith Syndrome, also heard these words:  “We have no record of a child with this syndrome living beyond the age of two.”

Sometimes these words are delivered with compassion and sorrow.  And sometimes they’re delivered no differently than a diagnosis of heartburn.

Judi’s first child, Lindsay, was born with Marshall-Smith Syndrome in 1979.  She can still hear the doctor’s words when she shut her eyes at night.  She did not completely understand them at the time.  She does now.  Denial has coalesced into reality with a brutal vengeance.  It affected her life and the life of every person she has ever known and loved.

This year, Judi decided it was time to share a mother’s story to celebrate the miracle of Lindsay and, hopefully, to allow every mother of a normal child never to take their miracles for granted.

About the Author:

Judi Markowitz has been teaching English for 27 years. She instructs 12th graders in the morning at Berkley High School and in the afternoon she teaches a Detroit Film class at CASA (Center for Advanced Studies and the Arts). It’s a consortium of six school districts.

She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education and a Masters Degree in Education Leadership from Wayne State University. Judi is married to Jeffrey Markowitz, her best friend. They live in Huntington Woods, Michigan and have four grown children Lindsay, Chad, Eli, Todd, and daughter-in-law, Chana Tova. They also have three beautiful grand-daughters. The View From Four Foot Two is Judi’s first published book.
