Ordinary Lives by Naguib Kerba
Kerba, Naguib Sami - BWL Publishing Inc.
Everyone has a story. A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes one needs words as well. 'Ordinary people extraordinary lives," does just that. I've combined a portrait with asking people four thought provoking questions about themselves. The portrait and their answers are a compelling read about life, its challenges and each individual's journey. At the end of each chapter, each person makes one final observation learned from their journey.
Tall, proud and handsome male lead, Brogan Kavenagh, grew up fast and hard. Determined to defend the disgraced Kavenagh name, his refusal to back down earned him the reputation of a brawler. However, despite his rough and rowdy ways, Brogan met and married the love of his life, Maggie. A strong female lead who stands by her man, there are no holds barred when her husband is framed for murder.
Brogan has no choice but to run for his life, and is shot by the sheriff during the manhunt that follows. In an unexpected stroke of good fortune he meets Tilda Loughty, a spirited young woman who saves his life.
But perjuring witnesses and the gallows await. How can he possibly prove his innocence in this historical romantic suspense set in beautiful Eastern Canada.

Shadows Stir
The Kavenaghs 1870—1879, Book 2
Brogan Kavenagh, his wife, Maggie, and his son, Luke lived two miles outside of town on a small farm with a nice property of forest behind them. The whole family kept busy with outside and inside chores until Jedediah Burk murdered his uncle and blamed Brogan for it.
This Historical Suspense Romance story yanks the
family apart, leaving Brogan on the run and Maggie on her own with Luke and the
farm. Their trusting relationship has depth but the challenges wreak havoc in
every chapter, and it’s tough if you can’t jump into the next chapter to find
out what happens next. There’s danger lurking and complications – murder and
mayhem.
The characters and their story will definitely continue
running in your mind like a movie and you will want to read the next book (I
definitely do).
You won’t read about the heads of chickens being bitten off or mounds of drugs being snorted from the naked bodies of sweaty groupies. No, what you will read about on these pages is the deep and intense journey into the very heart of rock and roll and what it takes to come out the other side. Gary Shea took that ride and has survived to tell his thrilling tale and there is no need for embellishment nor hyperbole—the truth is more unbelievable than fiction.
Gary is the bassist and co-founder of New England and Alcatrazz, two bands that burned very brightly during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Along the way, Shea walked amongst giants including Steve Vai, Paul Stanley, Todd Rundgren, Yngwie Malmsteen and a slew of others.
He guides us through the machinations, madness and magic of the music world, beginning with his early fascination for bass players and rock and running all the way through to standing on big stages in big arenas in front of big crowds. For every step forward, the industry took two bites of his soul but owing to perseverance, passion and no little amount of pigheadedness, he endured and now reveals all his secrets.
No Bass, No Party: Sketches of My Life in Music are masterfully told stories of what lies in the corners and ‘neath the bright lights of the music business. A rock and roll memoir you must read.
