Laura DeMarco, “Mark Twain’s America, Then and Now”
Laura DeMarco says, ”I knew Samuel Clements visited Cleveland, but until I started researching this book I had no idea he had such a strong connection to our city. He almost ended up a Cleveland newspaper owner! In this new book, I set out to tell Twain’s story through the places that defined his life – and show why what he has to say is still so important today”.

David Giffels, “Furnishing Eternity, A Father, A Son, And A Measure Of Life"
Giffels is a New York Times bestselling author from Akron, Ohio. The NYT review described this work as ”…a book that is tender, witty and, like the woodworking it describes, painstakingly and subtly wrought”. Giffels is not only a gifted writer, but also a compelling speaker.
