If you enjoy reading stories that involve courage and overcoming difficult
circumstances, you will love JOLT: a rural
noir. This novel has just won the 2011 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational
Fiction. Essentially, this book tells the epic story of a group of American townees whose lives are overrun
by an influx of forced emigrants from an area hit hard by a nuclear meltdown. Roberta M. Roy was inspired to write this
tale after learning a great deal about the medical effects of ionizing radiation in an intensive course taught by the Armed
Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) in Bethesda, Maryland. The events and character development that unfold will
keep you glued to your seat.

"Kristen Henderson senses the immediacy
of sensibilities and sends them to the right places. The images of her poems are movingly fresh enough to make one feel they
are coming true. They bring power to innocence, a maneuver invoking any poet's envy. For a first book, her poems are magnificently
mature, and I feel rewarded that they demanded my attention." Charles Plymell, author of Eat
Not Thy Mind, Hand on the Doorknob, Was Poe Afraid?, The Last of the Moccasins, and numerous other poetry collections.
