SUMMARY:Celebrating Hellenic Authors: Louis Anastas
DESCRIPTION:Louis Anastas discusses his recent book\, Zeus Rising. \nZeus is living anonymously in the hills of Los Angeles when he gets an unexpected marriage proposal\, which triggers a mid-life crisis. He fights to find renewed purpose and even considers coming out of the shadows and reclaiming his power. Living forever has its problems\, like losing everyone you love and carrying around baggage from thousands of lifetimes\, but things gets much worse when an ancient\, vengeful force closes in on him and his loved ones. \nIn this memoir\, Zeus also recounts memories of the Big Bang\, the development of humankind\, the Battle of Marathon\, and the rise of America—he has seen it all. And\, he’s met everyone from Socrates to Jesus to Washington. Zeus has evolved and has great empathy for our plight—life and certain death—and our fight to be free of tyranny. This is the tale of Zeus\, his loves\, his children\, and our collective history. \nLouis Anastas is a writer and creative director who’s created campaigns and hundreds of videos for brands like Boeing\, GE\, and L3Harris\, among others. He has also written a dozen screenplays\, a few pilots\, and directed a feature film\, “A Day in the Country\,” after earning his MFA from Columbia College Chicago where he also taught. Louis currently runs The Blue Agency in Los Angeles where he lives with his wife Nicole and their two daughters. Louis’ parents immigrated from Greece to the U.S. in the mid-20th century. Learn more about Louis and his first novel at louisanastas.com. \nSigned copies of the book  can be ordered for $22. Please email: louis@the-blue-agency.com. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Celebrating Hellenic Authors: Constance M. Constant
DESCRIPTION:Constance (Connie) Constant discusses her book\, American Kid: Nazi Occupied Greece through a Child’s Eyes \nMany books written about WWII come to us primarily from generals\, prime ministers\, diplomats\, and revered historians who never personally lived through occupation. Yet\, childhood war experiences add a dimension to history different from other points of view. American Kid shares the authentic and universal story of fear and frustration faced by all innocent civilians trapped in wartime occupied countries. This book is a memoir of an American child’s growing-up in viciously occupied\, Nazi-dominated Greece. John\, his mother\, and two older siblings are trapped in 1940 Greece when family plans for a shorter visit are altered by unexpected circumstances. John’s unforgettable recollections reveal a true story of his mother’s courage\, their family’s sparse village survival on Lakonia’s Mt. Parnon\, and years of fear-filled interaction with Nazi soldiers. Michael Dukakis writes\, “This book is an eye opener on the kind of brutality that the German army imposed on the people of Greece.” \nConstance (Connie) M. Constant\, a graduate of Chicago’s De Paul University and retired elementary school teacher\, has always been fascinated by history. Her books reflect both her vocation and her avocation. Austin Lunch\, her first book\, colorfully relates how two children witnessed their hardworking Greek immigrant parents’ integrity and resolve in encountering the hardships of being early 20th-century newcomers to the U.S. and then surviving the Great Depression of the 1930s. In American Kid\, Constant reveals a child’s-eye-view of his courageous mother’s agony and strength of mind in struggling to ensure her American children’s survival during World War II in Nazi-occupied Greece. \nTo purchase the book: https://www.amazon.com/American-Kid-Constance-M-Constant/dp/1942430264/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=American+Kid+Constant&qid=1592959521&sr=8-1
