Nita Hughes
The Cathar Legacy and Past Recall
“Considerably
before Dan Brown's DaVinci book, Nita Hughes had already
delved into religious confrontations in the Middle Ages and
came up with her excellent read, Past Recall. It is not only historically
fascinating, but the intricate plot is as absorbing as any
mystery buff could ask for. If you want to lose a night or two
of sleep, start reading this book.” ~
Sandy Reed, author of
A Tote of Travel Tales
"Past Recall is a compelling
romantic mystery. Its magnetic narrative treats us to
spiritual wisdom and historical fact. Nita Hughes' mystical
passion informs, entertains and inspires readers, while
providing us with an antidote for a problematic future." ~
Karen Horowitz, co-author of Witness to Illness
Safe Haven
"Exciting, captivating and fast-paced. I was swept away by its
excellently crafted plot - one which exposes political
intrigue at the highest levels and with the lowest scruples."
~ Gregory Orr, retired Diplomat, U.S. State Department
"I couldn't put it down. A story of intrigue set in the
turbulent last days of Philippine President, Ferdinand Marcos,
as seen through the eyes of an American banker. Nita Hughes'
perspective on this period comes from personal experience and
it shows. Entertaining from the first page to the last." ~
Mary Carryer, former Vice Chairman, Bank of Hawaii
"The world of international finance has many dimensions and
many faces. Nita Hughes, a veteran in the field of
international private banking, has crafted a superb novel of
danger and intrigue, along with a touch of romance, in this
compelling tale. A wonderful time capsule that transported me
back to the incomparable charms, challenges and mysteries of
the Philippines." ~ Dr. Rex Beach, former U.S. Executive
Director, Asian Development Bank

Bryan Trent
"The story of the genius,
beauty, and boldness of Hypatia forms the basis for this
excellently written novel. Hypatia's death is high tragedy,
not just because of the loss of this brilliant and forgotten
woman, but for all the tragedy that follows - the world of
Hellenized Egypt is so enchantingly painted that its fall
delivers a knockout emotional blow. The very evident passion
and talent of author Trent is that, like the many faces of
Alexandria, he tackles several diverse points: Rational
argument versus blind superstition, Academic elitism and
punditry, and Reason and Emotion, in conflict and in concert."
~ Michael F. Manna at Amazon.com

"Unleashed" is a fantastic
book about the life of Tina Resch and Dr. William Roll.

actual murderer confessed and received a lighter sentence.
After reading this book, you will come away amazed at the
extraordinary events of Tina's life from the poltergeist
manifestations that cannot be explained to the life sentence
that cannot be explained. This is a must read for anyone
interested in the paranormal."

"[Money and the Global Economy] is an amazing work. I found the manuscript fascinating ... a
totally different approach to the economics of money on a
domestic and international level."
~
John C. Getzelman, CEO of the Community
Bank, Pasadena, California and ex-Chairman of Rainer National
Bank, Seattle
"The Village Banker, in spite of its innocent title, is not
the usual cozy cup of tea whodunnit. Part seductive travelogue
through South America, part insider expose of international
banking, and all excitement as its sophisticated protagonist
sweeps the reader into an ominous world of international high
finance. Ever wonder how politics, banking and large
corporations dance a deadly tango of control across the globe?
The Village Banker immerses the reader in an up close and
deadly look at the intricate web of sophisticated schemes the
world's rich and powerful use to expand their wealth and
influence."
~ Amazon.com
"The novel makes me
wish I could meet all these interesting people, or at least,
that I could as sharply and compassionately remember and
picture them and their pathos in such an easygoing
story-telling style. Through the author's eyes, peoples' and
countries' foibles and souls parade without condescendence or
prejudice, revealing individual aspects of their distinct
cultures." ~ Amazon.com
