Guest Post: Hal Levey’s Path to Publication Every self-publisher can recall how his/her first book was born. This is my story. “Under the Pong Pong Tree” is a historical novel dealing with the Japanese atrocities committed against the Chinese residents of Singapore during World War II.

Julie’s Review: Defects is a great dystopia full of action and betrayal and psychic abilities. I loved that this book doesn’t follow the trope of our heroine finding out she’s something special and taking a long time to accept her new existence.
