BISAC: Fiction / Action & Adventure
C’est la Toussaint, c’est la fête des Morts !
Wally, Carole et Pablo le singe, nos jeunes héros de « Le Trésor de la Citadelle Laferrière » et de « Sortilèges au carnaval de Jacmel » sont quelque peu découragés. Ils avaient longtemps espéré pouvoir passer la semaine de vacances de la fête des Morts au Cap-Haïtien avec leurs cousins Bernard et Kelly, ceux de leur grande aventure à la Citadelle, mais, malheureusement, ils avaient vu ce vieux rêve s’effriter lorsque leur mère leur avait annoncé que ceux-ci partaient pour Montréal visiter leur grand-mère paternelle.
Nos jeunes héros se résignaient déjà à s’ennuyer ferme quand leur oncle, Ramsès Maurel, débarqua chez eux et les invita à l’île à vache. Une équipe d’experts en archéologie sous-marine allait séjourner à son hôtel. « Le Morgan », pour extirper de l’eau une ancienne, épave le « Pandora », ayant appartenu au célèbre pirate, le capitaine Henry Morgan, et il voulait absolument que ces neveux puissent vivre ce moment unique.
Grisés d’avance par cette perspective, Wally et Carole avaient accepté son invitation avec une joie immense.
Mais, au lieu de sortir le « Pandora » du fond des mers ce fut plutôt, ô surprise, le squelette, tout en os, d’un navire-fantôme qui monta à la surface.
Ce fait extraordinaire sera le point de départ d’une nouvelle et incroyable aventure.
Nos jeunes intrépides pourront-ils échapper à la malédiction des zombis ?
Le sorcier Hélas Dormébien saura-t-il déjouer les plans de Baron Samedi ?

Amanda Exantus has always shared a passion to speak into the lives of young ones and be a blessing and a light in any way that she can. Born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, she grew up in a loving family consisting of both parents, her brother, sister and surrounded by wonderful family members. She was given the opportunity to travel and pursue her education in the United States. During her stay, she encountered many individuals who, in some way or another, poured wisdom in her life. Her biggest dream is to go back home to be an asset and a positive voice in the upbringing of the youngsters of her country. After the tragic earthquake Haiti had faced on January 12, 2010, she perceived the catastrophe as an incentive to achieve her goal. Along with her faith in God, she is confident she will see the day when her country will offer hope and opportunities to the youth and guide and help them to live to the best of their abilities.

A Haitian child is becoming an orphan today; another is being cursed for life, and there is an attempt to murder a young Haitian person who is seeking freedom right now. Now is the time to read the story of the millions of Haitians who face slavery on a daily basis and struggle momentarily for what we call freedom. Now is the time to end the murdering of dark skinned Haitian women. Now is the time to end the worldwide psychological war against dark skinned women. Now is the time to end the black genocide.

Cher(e)s ami(e)s,
J’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer la parution de mon livre intitulé Exil au crépuscule. Publié aux éditions Apopsix en partenariat avec Radio France Internationale, l’ouvrage raconte la difficile fuite vers la France d’un journaliste haïtien pour sauver sa vie après une tentative d’assassinat à Port-au-Prince. Mais le récit personnel mis à part, Exil au crépuscule est un poignant plaidoyer en faveur de la liberté de la presse, la liberté d’expression et le droit à l’information. Des sujets qui restent prégnants même dans les plus grandes démocraties.
L’ouvrage est déjà disponible dans tous les réseaux classiques de distribution de livres mais j’espère pouvoir assurer des ventes signatures autant en grands qu’en petits cercles. Faites circuler l’information autour de vous et dans vos réseaux divers. Je reste à votre disposition pour tous éléments d’informations complémentaires.
Dans l’attente de vous compter parmi les lectrices et les lecteurs de Exil au crépuscule, je vous prie d’agréer mes distinguées salutations.
Amitiés,
Philomé Robert

Voodoo Intersection: Poverty, Crime and Disease in Haiti by Yonie Richard (Paperback)
Retail Price: $13.95
Genre: HISTORY / Caribbean & West Indies / General
Potions that turn people into zombies. Poisons that are biological weapons any terrorist would envy. Bloody, sacrificial ceremonies that appease malevolent spirits. These are the tools of the voodoo practitioner. These are the sources of all Haiti’s trouble. In 1804 Haiti became the first black led republic in the world and the first nation in Latin America to win its independence, yet today its population is far worse off than it was two hundred years ago. How could that be? Voodoo Intersection shows how Haitian voodoo beliefs and practices have caused the devastating poverty, crime and disease in Haiti today, and it provides valuable new insight into the long term plight of a once proud and noble Haitian culture.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Yonie Richard grew up in the small town of Hinche, Haiti, and moved to Port-au-Prince when she was seventeen. After attending engineering school, she worked for the Duvalier regime. Every Wednesday and Saturday in the capital city she would see the zombies coming into market to do the shopping for their masters. She finally immigrated to America, but on her return visits to her homeland through 2010, she has seen more and more of the devastating effects on her people from the degraded voodoo practices unique to Haiti. She wrote Voodoo Intersection so that future generations of her people will descend no further down this terrible dwindling spiral.

Posted on 02.05.12 Call for Submissions
To commemorate the second anniversary of the earthquake of January 12, 2010 in Haiti, Edition Multicultural Women’s Presence, Inc. is preparing an anthology titled Cris et Larmes / Cries and Tears / Rel ak dlo nan je.
This anthology offers a forum that will give voice to women who were greatly affected by this tragedy which devastated our land and who continue, two years later, to be concerned. The volume will contain texts in prose and poetry from Haitian women in Haiti and in the diaspora testifying their emotions and the experiences lived during the earthquake. The book will formulate important questions about the future of Haitian women and about the country. We will also include the voices of women from other countries who are working in solidarity with Haiti.
We are appealing to all those who are interested in having their voices heard. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate it if you would send us via e-mail a text in prose or poetry relating your reactions to the earthquake, your support after the tragedy and what are in your view the perspectives for the future of Haitian women and for Haiti in general.
If you decide to submit a text for this volume and following the approval of the Editing Committee, your text will appear in the anthology titled: CRIS ET LARMES / CRIES AND TEARS / REL AK DLO NAN JE. Upon receipt, we will consider your text as a permission to publish.
Multicultural Women’s Presence, Inc. is a non profit organization founded in 1999, at the service of women. Reviewing and editing texts and also the cost of lay-out and printing is definitely a challenge for a small independent press. While the authors retain their copyright, we ask all participants to graciously renounce any royalties and we thank them for letting others know about this upcoming publication along with other MWP’s published titles.
We would like you to include with your text a biographical note of 50 to 75 words maximum, your e-mail address, your regular post office address and your telephone number. Even if you have already submitted a draft, please send a formal bio by the stated deadline. The texts received without the biographical note will be considered incomplete and will not be included in the anthology.
We are glad for your participation in this project and expect to receive your text on or before the deadline of February 20, 2012

Posted on 01.26.12 New release / Nouvelle parution / Sur les traces d’un géant, le demi-siècle des laboratoires 4C par Margaret Papillon.
Extrait: Les résultats de ces cinquante ans de travail se révèlent tout à fait positifs et prouvent encore une fois que le succès ne peut être atteint que par le souci du travail bien fait, une discipline constante et à toute épreuve et le rejet absolu de toutes formes d’inertie. Depuis la création de l’entreprise en 1952, la direction de la 4C a axé sa philosophie sur la qualité et a toujours été à l’écoute des consommateurs en tenant compte, à chaque instant, de leurs desiderata. Notre objectif reste et demeure de surpasser l’attente du client et de ne jamais faire mentir notre slogan : « Notre priorité, c’est votre santé ! »
