The Winter Alliance Book I

The story begins with a teenaged boy and his sister, who were homeless because of the sudden loss of their parents, who move into the hermit’s cabin and talk with the animals.

-Excerpts-
The wind whispered through the tall pines lining the ridge of Mt. Brockway, carrying the crisp scent of autumn. Golden leaves shimmered in the midday sun, casting flickering shadows along the rocky path. Something was changing. Bruno sat near the old oak on top of Mt. Brockway, ears flicking, listening - not to the wind, but to the way the earth responded. Sage, an owl, sat perched above on a maple tree branch near the old oak that hung out over the cabin and spread the wings. He had full intentions of checking out the hunting of small animals like squirrels, chippies, mice, or even larger animals like rabbits. He was bored here, having seen nothing all morning. They survived on wild berries until the apples had formed enough to eat. The talking bear had taught them how to forage.

The Winter Alliance Book II

This book was written in the hope that parents would read it to their kids at bedtime thus forming a strong bond with them.

-Excerpts-
In the frosted fringes of Kodiak Sound, Alaska just before the sun rose (or maybe it wouldn’t bother trying since it was near the start of the long winter), Tamaruk the polar bear - known to disgruntled locals as Emma the Menace - was already causing her usual 5 a.m. chaos. Fishermen awoke to find their nets shredded like pamaranian cheese on pasta night, boats nudged sideways with suspicious paw prints on the deck, and one poor soul swearing he saw Emma sipping his thermos of coffee while humming the chorus of an Inupiaq lullaby.

The Winter Alliance Book III

-Excerpts-
The book series, Winter Alliance and this one Winter Alliance were written so as to promote parents reading to their kids at bedtime. When you read to them you create a bond that will be strong forever. The style of the series is sort of like the Cat in the Hat style and can be enjoyed by everyone. This book takes place in the old Hermit’s cabin on top of Mt. Brockway where a strong alliance formed between a teenaged boy and his younger sister, who had lost their parents and live there with talking animals, a bear, deer, fox, rabbit, lynx, and a white owl.

A Soldier’s Story

-Excerpts-
Jack Turner came from the war with a limp in his soul, A duffel of silence, a heart full of coal. The medals meant nothing, the welcome was thin, Even the dog at the gate wouldn’t let him in. No home-coming, no parade for him or his war friends, Just backs turned to him as he tried to make amends. His home is no more where his family once lived with pride, Now with them gone he wants to runoff and hide.

Book Reviews

“Buckle up for a wild ride with ‘Frozen Solid’! Once the threat to Earth becomes real, the story becomes a nonstop race for survival. Brusso’s vivid descriptions put you right in the middle of the chaos, making it a truly immersive experience.”

Joshua Kimmich Dortmund, German

“While ‘Frozen Solid’ has a lot to offer, the pacing might not be for everyone. The initial focus on the protagonist’s beginning story could feel slow for some readers who want the disaster to hit sooner. However, this character development pays off later when we see her strength and resilience shine through. Overall, it’s a suspenseful and thought-provoking read.”

Riccardo Calafiori Milan, Italy

“I was captivated by the strength of Sally McGee in ‘Frozen Solid’. Brusso’s portrayal of her overcoming abuse and then thriving in a new career is inspiring. Seeing her resourcefulness kick in during the disaster adds a whole new layer of admiration for her character.”
