Bloomington, IN, April 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Three iUniverse titles, Brief Flights by Frederic A. Alling, Harmony Hall by Ric McGee, and Broken Glass and Other Stories by Herbert Spohn, were listed among the Kirkus Discoveries best reviews of April. iUniverse, the leading book marketing, editorial services, and supported self-publishing company, has consistently published titles the Kirkus Discoveries e-newsletter has featured as compelling reads.

Involving everyone from the charming residents and maturing family members to its solicitous employees, Ric McGee’s Harmony Hall is an entertaining account of one small retirement community’s experiences and escapades. According to the Kirkus Discoveries Review, the book is “A touching portrait that masterfully depicts an unpleasant reality of life.”

In Broken Glass and Other Stories, Herbert Spohn offers a collection of stories that reflect his life experiences as an immigrant, a veteran of World War II, a teacher, a therapist, a scientist, a father, and a grandfather. “This subtle debut will leave readers hungry for more,” said the Kirkus Discoveries reviewer. “An affecting and memorable volume.”

Frederic A. Alling’s Brief Flights follows transcendent experiences by those in a variety of arenas, including traditional religious practices, close encounters with death and other natural phenomena, creativity and the arts, competitive sports, and romantic love. In its review of Alling’s (an Episcopal priest and psychiatrist) book, Kirkus Discoveries said it is a fascinating look at the dazzling nature of transcendence.

The Kirkus Discoveries monthly e-newsletter is sent to a targeted base of subscribers, including agents, editors, librarians, and individuals looking to acquire the print and film rights to books and unpublished manuscripts. Books reviewed by Kirkus Discoveries can be traditionally published, self-published, published via print-on-demand technology, or not previously published at all.
