Pondering Podcasts
House of Honor Books is seriously looking into launching our own podcast featuring interviews with our narrators and authors. We hope to include readings by our authors of their works and reviews of the books they are reading. We plan to cover our upcoming book launches on the podcast as well as doing some Facebook live sessions.
We’re asking for your help in coming up with a name for the podcast, so send us your title suggestions to admin@houseofhonorbooks.com. If we use your title, we’ll send you a free book from our catalog.
Would you like a signed edition of one of our books? You can get one addressed to you or to a loved one to give as a gift.

Rachel Roth’s epic drama swirls around the red-haired, silver eyed, Adrasteia, an ancient, vampiric dragon haunting the local mall in Riverwade, Tennessee.

Bears in the Woods

On the way to their destination they meet La Llorona and a ghost cat. Later they encounter the fabled White Horse, are haunted by cursed jewelry, and attacked by Native shapeshifters bent on kidnapping their companions.
But it’s not all scares and frights for the Bear Rebels. They are introduced to Tex-Mex cuisine, ziplining, and the natural attractions of Texas. In exchange they share a cricket match and a daring rescue with their hosts.
This novel by Julia Yeoh will entertain you the whole way through.

Our Featured Story
Requiem
The hour was 0400. The annual ceasefire in honor of Tet, the lunar new year, had bathed the late January night in restful silence. Stealthily then, the combined forces of the North Vietnamese People’s Army and the Viet Cong of the south started closing in around the Americans and their allies at Chu Lai Combat Base. Only the low rumble of mortar shells announced the incoming assault. Rockets abruptly exploded on impact, shattering living quarters…and the men inside of them. Sirens wailed. Shocked out of their sleep, Marines hastily grabbed their gear, crawling for the relative safety of the in-ground bunkers that lay in between the flimsy plywood hooches. The night lit up with the flames that were rising from the hangars and the aircraft on the flight line. The Tet Offensive had come upon the base with a fury.
